NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" When Lin Tian backs up a guy with the physical fitness and playing style of Nash, he is always too lazy to make any fake moves or use any techniques.

There's no need for that!

Just turn your back and walk with your butt sticking out, and you can reach the edge of the 3-second zone in 3 steps at most.

It would be strange if he could hold his own!

The only thing to be careful about is that Nash is a very smart guy. Although he can't defend Lin Tian, ​​this guy will remove the chair at any time! He will choose the right time and angle, and then suddenly retreat, betting that the opposing offensive player's basic skills are not good enough, and he will stumble to the ground or make a walking mistake.

Having faced Nash so many times, Lin Tian knows Nash's little tricks very well!
So he was on guard the whole time, until he was about to exert force again, and when he saw with his peripheral vision that Nash was about to retreat again, Lin Tian stopped exerting force, turned around directly, and then jumped up to make a lob shot!
This was a perfect display of the battle of wits between two top point guards. The two were competing to see who was more cunning and who could find the right opportunity to trick the opponent.

But this time, the audience does not see so many twists and turns.

What they saw was that Nash suddenly moved aside while defending, giving Lin Tian a huge open space, allowing him to complete a pull-up jump shot without any confrontation or defense!

This is a clear example of letting the water flow.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian's shot hit the target cleanly.

After scoring the goal, Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his fist to bump fists with Nash, as if to say "our cooperation is really good, buddy".

As a good guy like Nash, of course he couldn't think of anything like hatred or anger at this moment, and he subconsciously stretched out his fist and bumped it with Lin Tian.

"From this atmosphere, it seems like both sides are going to fight to the death." Barkley couldn't help but laugh when he saw the atmosphere between the two.

"It's not time yet." Kenny said, "Atmosphere and anger are things that need to be accumulated slowly as the game progresses! Sometimes it's an unreasonable penalty, sometimes it's a provocative action, and sometimes it's even trash talk."

"But anyway, you said that we will continue to be good friends until the end of tonight's game? I'll be the first one to not believe it!"

On the court, the Western team's second attack has been launched!
Lin Tian still played against Nash, while Kobe played against Iverson.

Kobe also turned his back and tried to get the ball. After getting the ball, Kobe attacked without hesitation in the same way as Lin Tian.

No skills, just confrontation!

And when Iverson did not move the chair, Kobe turned around and hit Iverson in the chest with his elbow before shooting.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe's shot also hit the target.

"FUXX! Did I treat dogs to the wine I drank last night?" Iverson cursed and glared at Kobe, "You come up here and measure my elbow?"

"The game is a game!" If Lin Tian said this, it would be considered as a masochistic thing, but when Kobe said it, it meant he was extremely serious. This is what this guy thought.

"Fuck you nigger!"

Iverson started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Kobe is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss. He also hit back without thinking: "Minnesota doesn't want you, you rubbish!"

"If I had O'Neal, I would have won the championship a long time ago! How could I keep losing like you? And you even forced O'Neal to leave? You are an incompetent and ignorant egomaniac!"

"Yes, yes, you are awesome. You just want to be second and cling to someone else's leg. You are such a good-for-nothing little brother!"

"Then I'm better than you! At least I was the boss. What about you? You've been someone else's lackey your whole life! I guess you still lick Tracy's shoes."

"I am the boss of the Lakers! And if Garnett was here, I would have established a dynasty with him long ago! How could I be kicked out? Philadelphia doesn't want you, Minnesota doesn't want you, and I predict that Orlando won't want you next year either! Tramp!"

After the two of them had this argument, Iverson got mad! He was feeling very uncomfortable and irritable after being hungover, and Kobe took the initiative to provoke him.

I’ll beat you to death!
Iverson asked Lin Tian for the ball and rushed to the frontcourt against Kobe.

While advancing, he did not forget to take revenge and raised his elbow to hit Kobe several times.

Kobe felt the pain continuously and immediately got excited. With his eyes wide open, he pressed Iverson all over the court!
Close and tight!
In the second round, these two guys started fighting.

As for Lin Tian? He was chatting nearby.

"Shaq, Kobe seems to admit that he drove you away!"

"Shaq, Kobe seems to think the Lakers are always his boss?"

"Shaq, how can you tolerate this? It seems that Kobe doesn't treat you as his big brother at all!"

"Kevin, did you really kick Allen out? That's not a fair thing to do!"

"Kobe said he would lead you to win the championship. Why don't you go to Los Angeles and become Kobe's disciple? Maybe you can win another Western Conference championship."

"Go to Los Angeles, with Kobe helping you canvass for votes, you can at least start for the All-Stars! Instead of sitting on the bench like you are now."

"After Allen left, your popularity plummeted! Let Kobe help you boost your popularity."

"Tracy, you really are the second in the team! You are the second in the Raptors, the second in Orlando, and the second in the Spurs and Lakers."

"Let me give you a nickname: How about Big Second?"

"LeBron... forget it, it's none of your business. You kids, go to the next table where the drinks are placed and don't get in my way."

Kobe and Iverson were competing fiercely over there. Both of them put up a lot of resistance and played intense full-court defense against each other. Neither of them gave in at all, and they played with the intensity of the finals in the first quarter of the All-Star Game.

Lin Tian took advantage of the fact that the two guys didn't pass the ball at all and ran around and provoked them everywhere.

He even had time to say a few words to Garnett on the bench!

The main character is a person who is bored and always looking for trouble.

After Lin Tian's efforts in running around and causing trouble, several stars in the Western Conference were all furious.

Damn it! You said you wanted to beat us by 50 points this morning, and now you’re trying to sow discord between us?
Kill you!
Therefore, the desire to perform of several stars in the Western Conference is stronger than each other.

In every round, everyone is asking for the ball, hoping to kill the opponent.

This makes it difficult for Nash, doesn't it?
Although he is selfless, Nash doesn't have the ability to turn a basketball into five! Can't you guys come one by one? Do you have to come together?

Anyway, the atmosphere in the West has become strange and bad.

Several stars wanted to try their hand at the ball, and they all asked Nash for the ball but didn't pass it very well. The situation on the court was very chaotic.

But although there was chaos, it was only chaos in the tactical system. The West was not far behind in the score.

After all, the Western team only needs to rely on their extremely strong individual singles abilities to keep scoring!
The situation in the Eastern Conference at the beginning was similar to that in the Western Conference, with a group of people watching Iverson perform alone. But after playing for 4 minutes, the Eastern Conference head coach Rivers also started the first wave of rotations.

The first person he replaced was Iverson, who was in high spirits and had 5 points with 3 of 7 shots.

It's not that Rivers was targeting Iverson. It was simply that this guy told Rivers before the game that he was not feeling well today and wanted to play less, and had to rest after playing for a maximum of 15 minutes.

"Why are you substituting me? I'm in great shape, how can you sub me out?" Unexpectedly, Iverson spread his hands to express his dissatisfaction as soon as he walked to the bench.

He hasn't finished his revenge yet, but he's letting me down? And he's the first one to leave? What does that mean? Is he dissatisfied with me for playing one-on-one too much and affecting the team's chemistry?
"Allen, you said it yourself that you wanted to play less." Rivers was helpless at this moment.

Who are these people!
It's totally unreasonable! I listen to you, how can you still scold me?
Simply not human!

Rivers didn't say so much to Iverson. After all, he was a superstar, not one of his players. There was no need to be angry with him!

With Iverson's exit, the Eastern team's ball possession was returned to Lin Tian, ​​and their situation immediately changed! The Eastern team's offense immediately became extremely organized, and the play was so clear!
For example, when Iverson just came off the court, Lin Tian grabbed two consecutive backcourt rebounds, and then found Wade who had just come on the court, assisting him to score on a fast break.

Then, when the Western team began to pay attention to retreating, Lin Tian began to slow down and switched to positional attack. During the positional battle, Lin Tian's ball naturally began to hit the direction of Yao Ming, allowing Yao Ming to play against O'Neal in the low post.

This year for O'Neal is definitely the weakest year in his career, and it is also the year when his career took a sharp turn for the worse.

This year, he has not only been plagued by various injuries, his competitive state has been greatly reduced, but as he gets older, his athleticism and defensive abilities have also declined significantly.

Facing Yao Ming's one-on-one play, O'Neal actually had no way to deal with it. He was humiliated by Yao Ming's hook shot and a few footwork!
As the Eastern Conference's tactics became clearer and simpler, the Western Conference, which had just been in a stalemate with the Eastern Conference, was immediately put at a disadvantage because of Yao Ming's strong attack and Wade's fast break.

When Iverson went off, the score between the two sides was still 15:11, and the Eastern team temporarily led by 4 points.

But after Iverson left the court, the Eastern team played better and better. In about 4 minutes, they had changed the score to 33:19! The Eastern team's lead reached 14 points!
At this time, the three highest scorers on the team were Iverson, Wade and Yao Ming.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he made 4 assists but only took 2 shots and scored 5 points. This guy who started the war between the two sides has not even started shooting!

The reason why Lin Tian did not take action was purely because there was no need to rush. Just wait a while, there will be plenty of time for him to take action!
The guys on the Western team drank so much last night, and they drank so hard. Today, they were all walking in a daze. Are they playing with all their strength?

Do you really think professional athletes are supermen?

In the first half of the first quarter, they were able to rely on the enthusiasm at the beginning of the game and Lin Tian's provocation to stabilize the score, stabilize the situation, and maintain a stalemate with the Western Conference by relying on their personal abilities.

But as time went by, the physical fitness of the Western team players declined rapidly. Their condition was visibly getting worse, and their shooting percentage was getting lower and lower!

This is also the reason why the Eastern team was able to quickly expand their lead even before Lin Tian started to take action.

One side is at the end of its strength, while the other side is gathering momentum and ready to strike. The gap between the two sides is naturally getting bigger and bigger!
Even though both sides started rotating players in the rest of the first quarter and both coaches made large-scale substitutions, the fresh blood on both sides led to another back-and-forth battle in which it was difficult to determine the winner.

But that's clearly all the West can do tonight.

They can only hold on to the score when their new players just come on the court, and can rely on this momentum to hold on for a while, but it would be really too much to ask them to catch up and narrow the gap, to let them hit climaxes again and again and overtake the score.

After getting drunk, they really don't have the energy anymore!

Three minutes into the second quarter, all 3 players on both sides had appeared on the court and had performed to some extent.

At this time, it is time for the coaches of both teams to rotate freely and arrange their lineups according to their own and the players' moods and the fans' calls.

If it were coaches like Nelson or Bird who had to deal with every All-Star Game, they would definitely line up their players, taking turns five by five, and insisting on fairness and justice.

If the coach is more rigorous, he will rotate the players according to the form of the court and the status of the players, focusing on being serious and responsible.

And tonight, the head coach of the Eastern Conference team is Rivers.

No matter how many problems Rivers has in his daily life or how bad his performance in the playoffs is, this guy's ability to give players encouragement should not be underestimated. He has the ability to cheer up the players at any time, to cheer them up and make them go all out.

He is a player-type coach. He can always get along well with his players and always make his players work hard for him.

And this is the time for Rivers to show his affinity.

"Lin, before the game you said you wanted to beat the West team by 50 points. Are you serious or were you just joking?"

“If I can do it, then I’m serious, and if I can’t, then I’m kidding.”

Rivers was not angry at all for Lin Tian's nonsense answer. Instead, he continued to smile and said, "Then do you want to do it?"

"Of course!" This time, Lin Tian didn't say anything more. He nodded without thinking to indicate that he wanted to win.

Since you want to win and break the record, I have to help you no matter what I say!
"Everyone remember, tonight is not just a simple All-Star game. Tonight we are fighting for Lin and our own reputation! In order to not embarrass Lin, for our own glory, and to make every word Lin said come true, let's beat the opponent to death!"

"Coach, I suspect if you hadn't said this, they would still be playing hard. After you said this, these bastards might start to go undercover and slack off." As soon as Rivers finished speaking, Lin Tian immediately followed up with a complaint.

There's no way, the chicken soup is too strong, I have to complain to dilute the concentration, otherwise it will be too choking.

"I thought about this question a long time ago!" Rivers chuckled and said proudly, "I've been prepared for it!"

"Tim, Josh, Manu, Yao, and Lin, all five of you come on! In the next five minutes, increase the score difference to 5 points!"

Good guy! Lin Tian wanted to give Rivers a thumbs up.

With these four people joining me, the situation would be very stable indeed.

These four people, if they just say they want to break the record, I'm afraid they will be able to put their brains out!
The main point is that it is nice enough.

Two of them were his best friends during his time with the Pacers. Yao Ming was also Lin Tian's number one little brother in the Chinese team. Duncan didn't have any special relationship with Lin Tian, ​​but the problem was Duncan's character. Even if you asked him to play a game with elementary school students, he would play the game conscientiously and steadily without slacking off or trying to steal the spotlight.

The main focus is hard work!
If these four play together, it’s definitely a sure win!

At 3 minutes and 20 seconds into the second quarter, Rivers directly did a five-up-five-down move, bringing the five people he had just called onto the court at the same time.

Coincidentally, the Western Conference team on the opposite side also used a team with no one as the core, with James as the absolute core!
In addition to James, the other four are Bosh, Marion, Nowitzki and Ray Allen!
These four players all have the ability to shoot as soon as they catch the ball, and they are all good at shooting from beyond the three-point line. At the same time, these four are not the type of people who are competitive, who must steal the limelight, or who must attack with the ball.

On the contrary, all four of them are good at playing without the ball, good at shooting after catching the ball, and are willing to accept such roles!

With such a lineup at this time, Popovich's meaning is obvious.

He still has to help James get to the top! He still has to continue what he did in the All-Star Game in previous years, that is, at a certain stage, he will come up with a one-star lineup with James as the absolute core, and let James lead the team to a climax!

This lineup is what James likes and is quite good at, and it is also very suitable for chasing points.

Popovich believes that James can definitely lead the team to catch up at this time!
He has absolute confidence!
I have the best pitchers, four of them! Plus a top-notch passer. How can your East team, with their makeshift lineup, fight me? How can you maintain your lead in the game?
Popovich even glanced at the scoreboard before his players took the court.

51: 39!

The East is currently leading by 12 points.

very good!

Within 5 minutes, I will reduce the score difference to less than 5 points!
I want to make everyone have the same feeling in their hearts.

That is, when the team is in crisis, the person who can save the team will be James!

But Popovich's pride only lasted for a moment.

When the Eastern Conference lineup came on the court, he was obviously stunned.

How can it be!

How could that pighead possibly guess what I was thinking?
How could he possibly put out a five-man combination that could counter my lineup?

coincide! Definitely a coincidence!

After all, everyone now knows that if you want to deal with James, you need to do two things.

1: A solid first line of defense that is difficult to break through, which makes him hesitate and prevents him from launching an attack immediately.

2: There was a strong restricted area protector under the basket who blocked and surrounded James' final layup, preventing him from completing the layup.

3: A smart and resourceful help defender who moves around to cut off James' passing lanes and prevent him from making easy passes.

The current lineup in the Eastern Conference happens to have two top inside players who are best able to protect the rim: Yao Ming and Duncan.

At the same time, there are two top-notch assisting defense players, Lin Tian and Duncan, who can complete many beautiful route blocks just by relying on instinct and habit.

This pighead, could he actually guess my thoughts, see through what lineup I was going to send out, and target it?
He is worthy of being the head coach of the top team in the Eastern Conference!
No matter how unpopular and disrespected this guy is in the coaching circle, he can always find a job and always achieve good results, which proves that he still has something!

Don't underestimate this guy! (End of this chapter)
