NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Milicic's turnaround dunk reminded Lin Tian of his scouting report.

Advantages: elegant playing style, solid basic skills, likes to face the basket, good shooting, strong character and not easy to give up, and has a strong fighting spirit.

Disadvantages: too thin, does not like confrontation, although he is tenacious, he lacks self-confidence and needs someone to guide him to continue to make progress.

This scouting report truly proves the professionalism of NBA scouts.

From personal skills, playing style to the subtle details of mentality and character, everything is described quite well!

Just from that one goal, Lin Tian felt Milicic's solid basic skills, flexible body and elegant playing style!

And a guy with such a playing style and talent was actually wasted by Larry Brown! It's really a waste of talent!

This also demonstrates the reliability and rigor of this scouting report.

Milicic has a strong fighting spirit, but he lacks self-confidence as he has been without a father since childhood. If someone leads him, guides him and helps him improve, he can grow quickly, make rapid progress and complete a large number of amazing games.

But if there is no one to guide him, or if the person he meets is the kind of guy who likes to suppress others, not give them opportunities, and always yell at him when he gets the chance, then Milicic will quickly sink and be full of doubts about himself!
It’s no exaggeration to say that this scouting report is completely correct!

No, one thing is not right.

The only problem is: Milicic is now a big and thin man? Among the three strong Eastern European men in the Nuggets, he is the tallest and strongest, like a white iron tower. Do you think he can't fight against such a person?

NBA scout: How shameless of you to compare the 03 scouting report with Milicic in 06!
Why not compare the scouting report from 93 with the current Milicic report? The difference is even greater!
After experiencing Milicic's strength in the first round, Lin Tian did not rush to respond, but began to pass the ball to his teammates to see how they were doing.

This is also Lin Tian’s game habit this season, or rather, since last season!

Let your teammates play first in the opening stage to see how they are doing tonight. If they play well, let them keep playing.

If he is not in good shape, that is when Mr. Lin should exert his strength and shoot to score!
This is also the reason why Lin Tian’s average points per game has dropped rapidly in the past two years.

When people get older, they tend to become lazy. Now he is too lazy to even get points. How lazy do you think he is?
But tonight, Lin Tian’s teammates seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle of bad form again.

No one could make the shot, whether it was mid-range or three-pointers, whether it was catch-and-shoot or dribbling or cutting, the Knicks' touch was not very good tonight.

As for the reason?

An important reason is that Denver's high altitude leads to insufficient oxygen supply and deterioration in everyone's condition. Another important reason is the super physical confrontation and non-stop fierce actions of the Nuggets' strong men who have long adapted to plateau life and have not been affected much.

The Nuggets' style is too rough!
They are like the Jazz at the end of the last century or the Pistons earlier. Their entire team relies on muscle, confrontation and fierce defense to form an iron bucket formation.

This move is definitely enough to make all technical opponents suffer when they encounter them.

This team is the nemesis of technical teams!
At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets easily took the initiative and they were leading the Knicks by 7 points!
21: 28!

The score difference is not that big. With the Knicks' firepower, once they get into shape, they can completely erase the score difference in just one minute!

But the question is... when can the Knicks wait for the whole team to have a burst of shooting tonight?
At least throughout the first half of the game, they couldn't find their touch!
45: 60!

At the end of the first half, the away Knicks were already 15 points behind their opponents!

In this half, the Nuggets were firing on all cylinders!

米利西奇拿下全队最高的18分6篮板，克雷扎9分5篮板，内内10分4篮板，纳胡拉3分1篮板，当然还有比卢普斯的13分6次助攻！
Among the five starters of the Nuggets, except for Najera who performed relatively averagely, the rest played at a very good level!

On the Knicks side, except for Lin Tian who scored 22 points in the first half and helped the team barely keep the score, the rest of the players, whether it was Stoudemire or Anthony, performed poorly. Not only did they have mediocre shooting and missed many shots, but they also made 2 turnovers each!
On one side, everyone was attacking with all their strength and bursting out together, while on the other side, everyone except Lin Tian was not feeling well.

The gap between the two sides in the first half also came from this!
In the second half of the game, the situation on both sides suddenly changed!

No one knows what Nelson said to his players during the halftime break, or maybe he didn't say anything at all, and everyone just adapted to the high altitude and high-intensity confrontation.

But no matter what, in the second half, the Knicks' touch was back!

The first attack at the beginning of the second half was a pick-and-roll by Stoudemire and Lin Tian, ​​who had been crushed by Milicic in the first half. Then he received the ball and made a mid-range jump shot, scoring the first 2 points for the team in the second half!
Stoudemire's mid-range shot seemed to open Pandora's box. In the next few minutes, the Knicks' touch exploded!

Okur, who made 3 of 3 three-pointers in the first half, made two consecutive three-pointers at the top of the arc.

Anthony opened up one side and made two consecutive single shots!
In addition, after Stoudemire's mid-range shot, he made two consecutive shots under the basket. In the blink of an eye, the Knicks had a 16:4 offensive climax in the second half of the game!
They quickly narrowed the gap to 3 points!
At this time, less than 3 minutes had passed before the start of the second half!

The Knicks' firepower is so exaggerated and scary!
But after being accurate for 3 minutes, the Knicks' touch disappeared again for some reason!

It's as if there's a person holding a remote control tonight, he turns it on and the Knicks rush in, he turns it off and the whole Knicks team misses shots!

For example, this time, after beating the Nuggets 16:4, the Knicks fell into a passive position again.

In the next 3 minutes, they were beaten by the Nuggets 10:3, and the difference between the two sides reached 10 points again!
And the third quarter was halfway through in the blink of an eye!

At this time, Lin Tian finally couldn't sit still anymore!

In the first half of the third quarter, Lin Tian made almost no shots except for 5 assists to help his teammates score quickly.

But as the score difference widened to double digits again, Lin Tian knew that it was time for him to take action again!

Lin Tian’s playing habits have always been simple and direct!
If you want to fight, you have to fight the strongest.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Lin Tian waved his hand and Xiao Si immediately stepped forward to cover him. This time, Lin Tian did not rush to attack, but waved his hand to signal everyone to get out of his way.

Lin Tian is going to play one-on-one against Milicic!

"Old man, you will regret this!" Milicic lowered his center of gravity and said with full concentration: "Do you think I'm the kind of big fool who can't even bend his waist? I'm faster and more flexible than all the inside players in the league!"

"You will regret calling me old man!" Lin Tian snorted!
Then he looked at Milicic who was lowering his head and focusing on defense, and Lin Tian just pulled it up!

No matter how talented Milicic was or how good his physical fitness was, he was unable to react in time to Lin Tian's sudden and lightning-fast goal.

Apart from subconsciously looking back to see the result of the ball, Milicic could do nothing.

"Swish!" And he didn't even need to see what the result of this ball would be.

Just listen to the sound!

The crisp sound of the basketball passing through the net was accurately transmitted to Milicic's ears.

7 points!
After one round, Lin Tian easily caught the mid-range shot that Milicic missed, and then once again, Lin Tian chose to advance to the frontcourt and continue to look for Stoudemire for pick-and-roll.

The Nuggets had to switch defense again, letting Milicic face Lin Tian again.

"It's impossible this time! I will defend you! I will defeat you!" Milicic seemed to have a special hobby for trash talk and continued to yell at Lin Tian.

At the same time, his defense became more fierce and ruthless, and he almost directly defended Lin Tian!

But for a player with Lin Tian's speed, how can we defend closely?

That would be equivalent to letting him break through!
Of course Lin Tian would not miss such a good opportunity. He changed direction and accelerated, leaving Milicic behind in the blink of an eye. Then, as he entered the three-second zone, he suddenly exerted force again, stomped his left foot hard on the floor, and rushed towards Nene who came to assist in defense!

"Oh!"

There was another muffled sound, and Nene, who came to assist in defense, faced Lin Tian who was sprinting at full speed!
After the two men had a head-on confrontation in the air, Lin Tian's left hand holding the ball also gathered enough strength, and he slammed the ball into the basket while in the air!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian completed the dunk!
Finally, he pinned one of the Nuggets' strong men under him!
"Where are you, Dako? Your mother is calling you home for dinner!"

After hitting such an inspiring dunk, Lin Tian got excited again and started to trash-talk Milicic: "Does your mother know that you are so embarrassing in the NBA and get beaten up at every turn?"

"You didn't knock me away!" Milicic said unyieldingly, "You didn't even make physical contact with me! If you have the guts, confront me head-on next time! Don't run away suddenly!"

“You’re right!” Lin Tian looked at this immature guy who was still a little childish and said with a smile: “Don’t regret it! If I beat you up and you cry, don’t go to your mother and cry!”

Lin Tian taunted Milicic while quickly retreating to defend.

Even if his teammates don't defend well, if Lin Tian needs to defend after he comes on the court, he will never relax or save his energy!
I will definitely do my best!
For example, this time, Lin Tian and Billups were originally facing each other, but after Billups passed the ball, Lin Tian also quickly observed the opponent's vision and movement, and then he saw Milicic who had just got the ball and was about to attack.

Then Lin Tian started to circle from the weak side, getting closer and closer to Milicic. Lin Tian's positioning was very particular, and he chose blind spots that Milicic couldn't see. He had almost circled half of the court, and everyone was curious: What is Lin Tian doing?

But the next scene allowed everyone to see Lin Tian’s terrifying scene!
You didn't see me! You definitely didn't see me!

Lin Tian muttered meaninglessly while running towards Milicic at a rapid speed.

Then after Lin Tian confirmed it for the last time, he moved quickly again and came right behind Milicic. Lin Tian jumped high and hit the basketball that Milicic was about to shoot!

"Snapped!"

With a dull thud, Milicic's shot that had just dribbled past Stoudemire and was about to dunk was ruined by a slap from Lin Tian!

This was not the end. Milicic, who had no time to react, not only got hit by Lin Tian's blood cap, but then when the two of them landed almost at the same time, Lin Tian jumped up even earlier.

Then, just above Milicic's head, Lin Tian clasped his hands together and held the rebound ball that hit the backboard and bounced back in his arms!
If you ask 100 people what action in the NBA is the most embarrassing and shameful, then 100 people can give you at least different answers. Everyone’s perception and bottom line of shame is completely different!
But if we limit various conditions, for example, the most embarrassing thing when defending is to be knocked down, and the most embarrassing thing when shooting is to miss all 3 shots, etc.

Then when grabbing a rebound, the most embarrassing scene is definitely having the rebound snatched from the top of your head by a smaller guy!
No inside player can stand this, it is even more unbearable than being dunked on!
This time, Milicic was blocked first, and then Lin Tian plucked the ball from behind his head and took it away directly!

By the time Milicic reacted and wanted to turn around to change everything, he found it was too late!
He shot from under the basket, and when he reacted and turned around to chase Lin Tian, ​​he incredibly discovered that Lin Tian had already run beyond the three-point line!

In just a blink of an eye, Lin Tian had dribbled the ball and started the fast break mode again!

Even if Milicic immediately turned around and chased desperately, trying to get back the ground.

But the difference in speed between the two is too big!

Or it could be said that the gap in speed between Lin Tian and everyone else is too big!

This time, Lin Tian ran all the way, shook off Kleiza and Billups one after another, and made his way to the basket, where he dunked with one hand again and scored 2 points!
When Lin Tian finished the dunk, let go of the basket and landed to prepare for defense, he happened to come face to face with Milicic again!

This guy ran for his life, but in the end he caught up with nothing!
No, it’s not that he didn’t catch up with everything. He even caught up with Lin Tian’s trash talk!
"Where are you going? Why are you running so fast? Do you have a stomachache and need to poop? Do you want me to call a timeout for you so you can take a good rest and relax? That's very nice of you!"

"Shut up, I don't want to go to the bathroom!" Milicic looked at Lin Tian unhappily. He might not want to go to the bathroom at the moment, but he was really angry!
Lin Tian is really going too far!
Don’t you know why I’m running so fast? I’m running so hard that my lungs are about to explode?

You are asking me this question even though you already know the answer!
I want you to look good!

Milicic turned around and asked for the ball again on the wing.

This time he blocked the position with his back to the goal, pressing against Stoudemire and constantly testing Stoudemire's defensive position.

Then he suddenly turned towards the baseline at an extremely fast speed and left Stoudemire behind!
Well, to deal with Stoudemire, given Stoudemire's defensive level, using this trick on him is like using an anti-aircraft cannon to kill a mosquito, which is a bit of a waste!
Even for a moment, Milicic felt a little regretful. He should have kept this trick for a while. After all...

Just as Milicic was still daydreaming, his pace suddenly stopped.

"Oh!"

Then there was a dull thud, and Milicic felt as if he had hit an iron tower. Not only did he fail to break through the tower, but he was also hit by the recoil force. He sat down on the ground in a very embarrassed manner, holding the basketball!
"Offensive foul! Change the ball!"

The referee on the sidelines immediately yelled and made offensive foul gestures with such passion!
God knows why the referee was so excited when he called an offensive foul.

But for the Knicks, none of that matters.

The important thing is, they got the ball!

"Where are you going, Darko?" After successfully causing Milicic to commit an offensive foul, Lin Tian continued to tease him: "Where were you going when you turned around just now? To the basket? Sorry, did I mean to block your way? Next time, I will definitely avoid you in advance, sorry!"

"Shut up, Lin!" Milicic quickly retreated to his own half, looking at Lin Tian with hatred.

This bastard, he's acting like a child!
Then we must teach Lin Tian a lesson! Let him know how powerful he is! (End of this chapter)
