NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Lin Tian was quite happy when he went out with the three sisters.

The main purpose is to make him appear before the world again.

The three sisters obviously never expected that Lin Tian would actually take them for a walk with a tiger, and it was a wild and free-range tiger.

There were no isolation or safety measures, no warnings or announcements.

The four people walked into the area that Lin Tian had enclosed. Lin Tian shouted to the sky several times in a row: "Big Cat! Big Cat!"

Then, less than two minutes later, a fat, snow-white cat rushed over from the mountain!

God knows how scared the three Olsen sisters were at that time!

If Lin Tian hadn't drained most of the water out of their bodies last night, who knows if they would have made a fool of themselves on the spot.

But when they saw the tiger running at full speed and then suddenly stopping, and then really lying at Lin Tian's feet like a big cat, letting him rub its head, kick it with its claws, and dig its eyes, the shock and disbelief in the eyes of the three people became even stronger!
Is this still a tiger?

No, it’s a human being?
Do tigers listen to him?

"how did you do that?"

"After beating it and pounding it on the ground a few times, it became obedient."

"Roar." The big cat lying on the ground let out a dissatisfied roar, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Tian's rumor that he couldn't beat him.

But unfortunately, Lin Tian was possessed by a halo, and not only did he not take it seriously at all, he also stretched out his legs and kicked the big cat's exposed belly a few times.

The situation is stronger than the tiger!

What can the big cat do?
I can only close my eyes and enjoy the pleasure of being rubbed.

"Can I...can I touch it?" Elizabeth licked her lips, unable to help herself.

Which girl can resist a furry, white, fleshy animal?

Even though this thing's bite force exceeds 1000 kilograms, a slap with one claw has a force of around 800 kilograms, and it weighs more than 200 kilograms, it is still a cat after all!

"Can I touch you?" Lin Tian looked down at the big cat, feeling very happy!

This is the true meaning of having a pet!

So cool!
I have said it a long time ago: I like small animals!
"Roar!" The big cat snorted, and Lin Tian nodded and said, "Touch it! No problem."

The three girls did not dare to cheer. Instead, they approached slowly and cautiously, and then gently rubbed the big cat with their fingertips.

After rubbing for a while, he gradually gained courage and dared to put his whole hand on the tiger's belly.

The joy of petting a cat is beyond the understanding of others.

"Can you understand what it says?" Mary Kate couldn't help but ask while rubbing the tiger's belly.

“It doesn’t understand at all.” Lin Tian shook his head decisively and said, “But it should be able to understand what I say. It won’t reject my words.”

"Case solved! No wonder Tigger likes Lin so much! This is a tigress!" Ashley touched some parts that shouldn't be touched, and then excitedly said that she saw through everything!
"This bastard, he's attracted to anything that's female, female or girly!" Ashley said that what she said must be the correct answer!
"Hey, don't just give him a random name." Lin Tian frowned. Naming an animal is so difficult! It's also easy to forget, which is why Lin Tian just called this guy Big Cat to save trouble.

It saves time and effort, and it is easy to remember and you won’t forget.

"It's so beautiful, how can it be called a big cat?" Mary Kate said as she continued to stroke it excitedly, "Let's call it Simba!"

"Simba is a fucking lion! And a male lion at that!"

"How about Winnie? I like the name Winnie, it's so cute." Elizabeth also joined in.

"That's a bear! And it's a male too!"

"That's Bonnie?"

"Would you rather be called pork or afraid of spareribs? How can you let it call its own food by its name."

"What about Fenrir? He's so domineering! And very powerful."

"That's a wolf! Can't you give it a tiger's name?"

……

Lin Tian was quite happy throughout the whole day.

Even without talking about the joy of petting cats, the three girls looked at him with admiration and starry eyes at all times, as if they were completely conquered by him.

It was enough to make Lin Tian secretly happy!

I have to say, this feeling is really great!
Lin Tian also made up his mind completely in his heart!
From now on, whenever any girls come to New York, I must take them to see the tigers!

From now on, this will be the number one check-in spot in New York for Lin Tian’s female friends!

The cards must be pulled to the fullest! Just these two days, next time there is no competition, bring Hilton here immediately!

I just wonder if that crazy woman will just say right there and then that she wants to have some fun next to the tiger.

Hiss...wait.

It seems interesting!

On this day, Elizabeth reluctantly returned to the school dormitory to rest and prepare for the next day's classes. Lin Tian took the twins back to the house to get the gloves he forgot to take away in the morning. Then it was too late to go home, so they could only make do for the night.

Anyway, Lin Tian felt extremely happy!

After this little assistant episode, the Knicks are about to start their second game of the new season.

Coincidentally, the Knicks' opponent in the second game is also the team that underwent a big trade this summer and participated in the five-party deal.

A distant country relative of the Knicks.

New Jersey Nets.

Although the Nets traded their former absolute leader Kidd this season, they still kept the duo of Yao Ming and Carter. At the same time, with Bibby and Prince joining the team this year, it is really hard to say whether the team's strength has increased or decreased.

But what everyone knows is: Whether the Nets' wave of exchanging whole money for small changes can be successful depends on Carter and Yao Ming!

These two guys have to play at their proper level, have the best performance of their careers, and take on enough responsibility.

Only if these two evolve, the team will have the possibility of going further!

After all, the newcomers Bibby and Prince are more positioned as top role players.

These two guys, who have never been the team leader and have never shouldered the important task of being the team's top core in the first half of their careers, must grow up this year!
If they can't grow and evolve, then it's the Nets' turn to evolve themselves.

They will definitely continue trading!

After all, even if Kidd left, the team's current salary level is still not low, and the owner has to pay luxury tax every year!
Although it's not comparable to the Knicks' terrifying luxury tax amount of 6000 million, it was still paid, right?

No matter how thin a mosquito's legs are, it's still a dish!

At least in the opening game of the regular season, the Nets played well.

Yao Ming scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, Carter scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Prince and Bibby also played well and took on their due responsibilities for the team. The Nets defeated their opponents with a score of 110:100, a 10-point advantage.

In the second game of the new season, the Nets encountered the mountain that they had never been able to climb.

Lin Tian and the Knicks.

"Hey Vince, Dayao, long time no see." As usual, Lin Tian greeted his buddies with a smile and started chatting.

"We are different this year, Lin!" Carter is full of confidence at this moment. God knows whether it is because of his good performance in the last game or because Kidd is gone.

But considering Lin Tian's character... "You are so happy that Jason is gone? Does he know?"

"Jason is gone, and you are still using him to scare me?" Carter snorted, indicating that you can't scare me, I am already an adult.

"But I heard that his membership cards, recharge cards, and various cards were all handed over to you? If I tell him that Vince is happy that he left, do you think he will immediately report all the cards lost?"

"What are you talking about, Lin! We are good buddies! The best kind." Carter quickly chuckled, put his arm around Lin Tian's shoulders and said, "Jason gave me a card before he left. This place is said to be unknown and extremely mysterious! After the game today, let's go together!"

"There's no way there's a place in New York that I don't know about!" Lin Tian said firmly, "Jason must be bragging!"

"That night?"

"After the game tonight, let's go together and expose this bastard's lies!"

Lin Tian laughed, high-fived Carter, and happily went to chat with Dayao.

He is worthy of being my old teammate!

It's just tacit understanding!

The Nets and the New York Knicks, although both are in New York, are known as mortal enemies and rivals in the same city.

But because the team leaders of both sides in the past few years are almost the two most fun-loving people in the league, the two teams are close to each other, and people like Carter are famous for their good tempers.

Therefore, there are almost no conflicts between the two teams, and the players get along so well with each other!

Therefore, before the game started, there was no tense atmosphere at all between the two sides, and the players were chatting happily in groups of three or four!
The players were so happy that they even forgot they had to warm up.

They were only concerned with where to go in the evening and who would treat after the game.

It was not until the referee blew the whistle to start the game that everyone suddenly reacted in surprise: It’s starting now?

Perhaps it was because of the lack of warm-up that the two teams were not in good shape after the start of the game, with many mistakes and missed shots.

In the first stage of the game, the team with the upper hand was the Nets!
Because when everyone was in average condition due to having too much fun chatting before the game, Yao Ming, who worked hard to warm up, worked diligently and never went out to play with others, became the Nets' biggest advantage!
After the World Championships in the summer, Yao Ming is obviously different this year! He plays more resolutely and decisively, and is more aggressive when attacking in the paint!

More importantly, although the newcomer Bibby's passing and organization skills are not as good as Kidd's, he can shoot! Not only can he shoot, but he can also cut into the air. He is definitely a good player without the ball.

Cooperating with Bibby, although it will be more difficult for Yao Ming to receive the ball, the defensive pressure he faces after receiving the ball is much less than before.

After all, when Kidd doesn't have the ball, no one pays attention to him, and all teams prefer to double-team Yao Ming under the basket.

But now that Bibby is on the outside, the teams are not as determined to double-team Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is even more comfortable when playing alone!

More importantly, after the team traded for Gasol, this year they officially promoted the original sixth man Al Harrington to the starting position, which is also a shooting-type No. 4 position!

Therefore, the four players of the Nets, except Yao Ming, all have good three-point shooting ability, which gives Yao Ming plenty of space for one-on-one duels under the basket and gives him more room to play!

In the first quarter against the Knicks, Yao Ming completely defeated Okur in a one-on-one situation, making 11 of 7 shots and all 4 free throws, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block!

18 points in a single quarter is also Yao Ming's highest score in a single quarter in his career so far!
The Knicks' poor defense is the main reason why Yao Ming scored so many points, but Yao Ming himself is more confident and plays more decisively. Without Kidd, he did play better!
With Yao Ming's outburst in a single quarter, the Nets also successfully took the advantage in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, they had an 8-point lead. These 8 points were almost all scored by Yao Ming one ball at a time!

And Lin Tian also saw it from the Nets' offensive rhythm and offensive pattern.

This season, they must use Yao Ming as the core and the first offensive point!

The remaining Carter, Bibby and others have to help him!
This is also the first time that Yao Ming can play as the core player in his NBA career!
Taking Yao Ming's ability into consideration and O'Neal's age, Lin Tian feels that as long as Yao Ming does not get injured this year, this guy will definitely be able to get into the first annual first team of his career!

As the game progressed, the Knicks slowly emerged from the shadow of their poor performance in the first quarter and began their journey to catch up.

But on the Nets side, in addition to Yao Ming, Carter, Bibby and others also began to show their strength. With the help of Yao Ming's dominance under the basket, they made cuts and shots one after another!

In the first three quarters of the game, the two sides fought back and forth, and the Nets were the team with a slight upper hand!
With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Nets still held the initiative on the court. They were leading the Knicks by 5 points with 89:82!
Moreover, just over 10 seconds later, when Yao Ming once again attracted a double-team in the low post, and then quickly passed the ball to Bibby, Bibby took the ball and threw it to Harrington at his side without hesitation.

The Knicks' defense was badly interrupted. They were able to block Bibby, which even showed improvement on the defensive end.

If it was last year, there would definitely be a huge open space here for Bibby.

From this perspective, the Knicks' defense has evolved.

But obviously, the Knicks' slightly improved defense can only make them lose points 2 seconds later.

"Shh!"

Harrington was confident and scored 3 points! The Nets extended their lead to 10 points!
"Kill them!"

"Let's show those New Jersey idiots how powerful we are!"

"Fuck them! What derby are they talking about?"

"Kill these country bumpkins!"

When Harrington excitedly celebrated the goal, the fans at the scene immediately started booing at them.

"FUXX!" Carter couldn't help but curse, "Sooner or later, we will be recognized by New York fans. We will never let boos ring out in New York stadiums again!"

"Wake up!" Lin Tian couldn't help cursing as he dribbled the ball forward: "If this were New Jersey, I would tolerate your words. After all, this is your home court."

"But this is Madison! Does Madison know that, Vince? Do you want Madison fans to defect to New Jersey? Why don't you go to the Vatican and tell those Christians to convert to Islam?"

"Oh, I forgot." Carter scratched his head a little embarrassedly, indicating that he really forgot.

I just remember driving to the stadium, I got used to it.

The casual chat between the two people showed that they were both in a very relaxed state tonight, and Lin Tian took advantage of the time when Carter scratched his head to successfully attract Bibby, and suddenly accelerated and cut directly to the basket!
Facing Yao Ming's rushing defense, Lin Tian rushed forward without hesitation.

"Oh!"

The two people collided violently in the air, and then Lin Tian hooked the ball with his left hand, successfully avoiding Yao Ming's block and sending the basketball into the basket!

"Maybe you can become the league's top center this season." Lin Tian looked at Yao Ming after scoring the goal and said, "But unless you join the Knicks, you will never be able to break out of the Eastern Conference as the top center!"

"Let's wait and see Brother Lin! I'll show you what I can do!"

“Don’t call me brother when you are talking trash!” Lin Tian couldn’t help but roll his eyes. What kind of new trend is this, calling someone brother while talking harshly?

The Nets' offense is still their old routine, with four players spreading out in all directions. Yao Ming holds the ball in the low post, observing his teammates while playing one-on-one with his back to the basket.

Yao Ming only dribbled the ball twice under the basket and was about to collect the ball and turn around when Barnes suddenly rushed towards Yao Ming and opened his arms to steal the ball from his hands. Yao Ming's reaction was also incredibly fast, he quickly collected the ball, swung it, and threw it towards Carter on the wing.

But the basketball had just been shot when a figure suddenly appeared from the side and directly intercepted Yao Ming's pass.

Lin Tian!

"I've played for so long in the summer and received so many passes from you. Do you really think I don't know which direction you like to pass the ball?" After Lin Tian stole the ball, he did not forget to continue to taunt Dayao, and then he suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball to start fast break mode!
After he made his way to the front court, he looked left and right, and the basketball swayed back and forth in his hands following his eyes.

With just this one look and a fake move of swinging and receiving the ball, Lin Tian immediately confused the two defenders, Harrington and Bibby, who tried to catch Lin Tian's pass, one to the left and the other to the right.

But when they both turned around, they saw that the basketball was still in Lin Tian's hand. This guy didn't pass the ball at all. Instead, he faked a shot, glanced at the basket, and then directly pulled up and shot a 3-pointer!
"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian scored 5:0 and narrowed the gap to 5 points!
"It's okay, just play as you want! I'm here, we'll go home with the victory tonight and drain the wallets of the people of New Jersey!"

"Yes!"

After Lin Tian's two goals, the Knicks players quickly perked up and became more engaged on both offense and defense.

The Nets, who haven't beaten the Knicks for a long time, have raised their attention to the extreme at this moment.

They have to defend! They have to maintain their advantage! They have to win this game! (End of this chapter)
