NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

What makes Knicks fans more desperate than the Knicks losing on the road is Lin Tian’s continuous slacking off.

After these two games, Lin Tian's average statistics further declined, and was now only 40.3 points, almost reaching the critical point of 40 points per game.

Then, Lin Tian scored 29 points and 31 points respectively in the next two games against the Knicks!
Everything seemed to be calculated.

After this game, Lin Tian's total score reached 3164 points.

His average points per game dropped to 40.05 points!
This means that if Lin Tian scores less than 35 points in the next game, his average points per game will once again fall below 40!

Finished!

Everyone felt that it was all over.

Lin Tian, ​​that bastard, has started to play tricks on us!
New York fans are desperate.

They even wanted to switch sides and support other teams, so that they could teach Lin Tian and old Nelson a lesson, and let them play well and stop messing around!
Then, the Knicks officially updated their injury report.

A perfect injury report that made the whole of New York feel relieved and breathe a sigh of relief!
The core content of this report can actually be stated in one sentence.

Damn it, Lin Tian finally got injured!
After waiting for so many days and enduring so much torture, this bastard finally got hurt!
As for the injuries of other players in the injury report, such as Okur, Barnes and others, they were completely ignored!

It’s just a rest rotation anyway, who cares who rests and who continues to play?

As long as Lin Tian stops fighting, it will be fine! Then it will be stable!

Just rest like this until the playoffs!
Well, that's of course not possible.

When it’s time to tighten, you still have to tighten!

Especially in the case of the Knicks.

They were in good shape after the All-Stars Break and won a lot of games.

But overall, the team has entered a half-vacation and half-health-preserving mode since February.

They had completely entered a very lazy state, with the whole team playing and resting at the same time.

This state will allow the Knicks players to maintain super strong physical strength and be free of injuries at the start of the playoffs.

But it will also make them lose their sense of urgency, and make them feel like they have no game, especially no playoff feeling!

So, after a large number of players on the team rested for two games and suffered two consecutive losses, the Knicks faced the final game of the season.

At the same time, this is also a preview of their first round of the playoffs!

Their final opponent is the Chicago Bulls!
Just like the Knicks have secured second place, the Bulls have also secured seventh place in the Eastern Conference. They will face the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs!

And what old Nelson meant was to beat them to death!
Don't give them any hope, and shatter all the morale and confidence of this Chicago youth team in the final game of the regular season!

So this night, old Nelson chose to attack with all his might!

In the last game of the regular season, he finally sent out his strongest lineup and strongest starting lineup!
The entire Knicks team seemed quite confident and murderous at this time!
They want to use the end of the regular season to give the Bulls a warning!

The fans of the entire Knicks team said at this time: They don’t want to watch this, they don’t want to see the team intimidate the Bulls, they just want to see Lin Tian rest.

They hope Lin Tian can rest!

from inner heart.

So, when the fans at the scene saw Lin Tian starting in the game tonight through the big screen, there was a huge burst of boos throughout Madison Garden!

It's been years since the Heat and Riley began their rebuild and faced the Knicks in the playoffs. No one has received this level of boos at Madison Square Garden.

No one could have imagined that after Mourning and Riley, the two people who were booed the most in Madison were Lin Tian and old Nelson!

The fans hate it!
Of course, it’s mainly fear.

They were mainly afraid that Lin Tian would continue playing for fun today, and then his average points would drop below 40 points.

What to do?

Do you really want to kill him to vent your anger?
Or just kill old Nelson to vent your anger?
Anyway, the Knicks fans were extremely nervous.

They arrived at Madison Square Garden with extremely mixed emotions.

Confused, uneasy, entangled, afraid, expectant, nervous, worried, excited...

When the Knicks fought the Rockets in the finals until the seventh game, the feelings of the Knicks fans were not so complicated.

Damn Lin Tian!
But no matter how nervous or complicated the fans were, the 19000 seats in Madison Square Garden were still filled to capacity. They were ready to switch sides and even cheer for the Bulls at any time.

If it doesn't work, just boo Lin Tian wildly, boo him until he can't stand it, boo him until he can't get up!

Let’s compare and see who is thicker-skinned and who is more ruthless!

"After this game, we will play three games in a row against the Bulls at home, and in the next five games, we will play against the Bulls."

Before the game started, Nelson said casually: "I think everyone knows the level of this Bulls team. That's about it."

"I don't know what you think, but I think we should be able to easily defeat them and beat them to a pulp!"

"We've beaten them five games in a row! Let's wait and see who our opponent will be in the second round."

"What do you think?"

"Kill them!"

"Five games! Just five games! Not one more!"

"Tonight, we will completely destroy the confidence of those bastards from the Bulls! Tonight, we will beat those bastards from the Bulls so hard that they will have to book their tickets to Hawaii in advance!"

"With their IQ, can they go to Hawaii? At most, to Miami! If they go further than Miami, they will get lost."

In the Knicks' locker room, everyone was talking nonsense and roaring wildly.

Obviously, the brothers have made full preparations and they are very clear about the mission tonight.

They are going to tighten up tonight, they are going to enter playoff mode tonight, and they are going to completely blow up the Bulls tonight!
Then, with full fighting spirit, full of anger and desire to win.

The Knicks took to the court.

Then the Knicks players, including Nelson Sr., felt their mouths twitching and they wanted to hit someone.

The Bulls are on the run!

Of course, it’s not that they didn’t come to Madison to play, but that their starting players didn’t change their clothes and all sat in the audience in suits.

It's time to take a break.

The Bulls rested their players in the final game of the season!
Resting at this time is actually a very normal choice. It is the last game of the season and the ranking has been completely determined. If you don’t rest at this time, when will you rest?
But generally speaking, if the teams meet opponents that they will face in the playoffs at this time, they will definitely try their best to play and show their energy and confidence.

But the Bulls simply rested all their main players!
Center Ben Wallace, power forward Brown, small forward Luol Deng, shooting guard Ben Gordon, sixth man Nocioni...

The five main core players all refused to fight.

Only starting point guard Chris Duhon appeared on the court.

Obviously, head coach Skiles was worried that the team would be hit too hard and completely destroyed, which would affect the players' physical and mental health, so he left a point guard to control the game to avoid any tragedy.

But obviously, Skiles was prepared and had anticipated what would happen, but he didn't think enough.

"They can take their turns to rest. It doesn't matter to us." Lin Tian said to his teammates before going on the court: "Let's continue to implement our pre-match goals and battle plan."

"Hit! Hit hard!"

"understand!"

"If I remember correctly, I set the record for the biggest loss in NBA history, right? I beat the Wizards that year and created the biggest score difference in history. How many points was that?"

"70!"

"No, I remember it was 73!"

"Don't be ridiculous, we're only one ball away from 80, it's 78!"

A group of Knicks players were guessing at each other, but who gave the correct answer?

Lin Tian wasn’t sure either. How could he remember this thing?
But there was one thing that Lin Tian was certain of through his teammates' guesses.

That is the record for the biggest score difference, it definitely didn’t exceed 80!

What if it's 70 or so? If we win by 80 points, won't everything be solved?

"80 points!" Lin Tian clapped his hands to stop his teammates from arguing, and said with ease and confidence: "Beating them by 80 points, how can it not be a new historical record?" "That makes sense!"

"Smart, Head!"

"As expected of our boss!"

“So clever!”

"This logic is absolutely flawless!"

"The best strategist in the NBA! Riley can only carry your shoes."

"Jackson is nothing, at most he is just an apprentice priest, you are the real master!"

"Alright, alright, alright!" Lin Tian quickly waved his hand to indicate that this was the end.

These people are exaggerating more and more.

Although Lin Tian also felt that he was indeed very cool and awesome, there was no need to brag about it just because of this matter.

This feels like... well...

Ke Jie beat an elementary school student in a game of Go, and then dozens of people around him applauded and praised him crazily, making Ke Jie the number one player in the history of world Go.

Let’s not talk about whether he is true or not, just the point of praise is quite strange.

Lin Tian felt the same way.

Praise me again next time!
Now, beat the bull first!
After seeing the Bulls' lineup, the Knicks fans couldn't help but scream.

A full substitute lineup!

Then what the hell is the point of fighting!

They could foresee that our Lin would play for a maximum of 20 minutes, and he might have to go down to rest for the 15 minutes.

He never bullies weak opponents, nor does he like to inflate his stats.

It’s over! It’s all over! I’ve been looking forward to it for a whole season, waiting for it for a whole season, and in the end, what have I waited for?
Oh no, oh no, my average of 40 points is gone!
The Bulls' head coach Skiles clearly heard Madison's sigh, and he also smiled triumphantly.

This is exactly what I want!

What I want is the groaning of you guys.

Hey.

The purpose of Skiles' rest this time is not just to let the main players rest, nor is it just to let the main players maintain their confidence so as not to lose confidence when beaten by the Knicks in the regular season.

He also wants to break Lin Tian’s record!
Even though Lin Tian's average of 40 points per game had nothing to do with them, even though the Chicago Bulls had been replaced from top to bottom except for the owner, there were no longer any former teammates or partners of Lin Tian.

But as a head coach, no one wants the opponent to achieve any immortal record on him.

If it can be destroyed, it is best to destroy it!
And Scales knew that with the few materials in his hands, he could not hold Lin Tian down to 60 points. He was confident, but he had no confidence at all that he could not even hold Lin Tian down to 35 points.

So, after careful study and consideration, he decided to take a break!

All my staff are taking turns to rest. I won’t resist anymore.

What else can you do? The worst you can do is beat me by 30 points! I can afford to lose!

Anyway, my main players are not on the field. If you dare to beat me by 30 points, it will be just the right nourishment to boost the morale of our Bulls team after the start of the playoffs!

Hehe, when the time comes, I will make a big fuss about the fact that our substitutes were bullied by you guys during the regular season, and boost the morale of the whole team to the extreme!
Even if we can't win the series by a straight win of seven with this trick, at least we can steal 1-2 games from you, break your 16-game winning streak in last year's playoffs, and become the first team to beat you, the Knicks, in the playoffs in two years. That should be no problem, right?
What? I, Skiles, don't believe that you New Yorkers can beat me by 80 points? Are you really going to make my players suffer?
I don't believe it! It's impossible!

Just when Skiles was extremely confident, complacent, with his arms folded on his chest, and had already begun to think about his speech for the playoffs, the Knicks began their torrential bombardment!

This night, the Knicks stuck to their established strategy and beat the Bulls to death!
Especially if they start, the Knicks just need to make people on the court feel scared and win by 3-40 points at most.

But now, they have become more difficult.

Their goal became to intimidate and terrify the Bulls' main players sitting on the sidelines.

That would be really fake!
At the very least, if you win by 40 points in a single game, don’t think you can scare others!
As Lin Tian said: We have to make a historical record to show our attitude!

We take this game very seriously!
In the first round of the game, Lin Tian, ​​holding the ball, met Du Hong, a role player who was not worth mentioning at all. His continuous drastic changes of direction made it difficult for Du Hong to see his figure clearly.

Then Lin Tian suddenly accelerated again, and then suddenly retracted it, and pushed out with an inconspicuous little movement of his elbow. Poor Du Hong didn't even get into the game state, and was knocked to the ground by Lin Tian's combo.

Then Lin Tian withdrew from the three-point line, took a look and made a decisive three-point shot!
"Shh!"

After the crisp sound, Lin Tian made an accurate 3-pointer!
3: 0!

The Knicks kicked off their final regular season game of this season with a shake-up and step-back 3-pointer!
At this time, except for the Knicks players involved, no one else knew what would happen tonight.

Scales even made Du Hong drink sugar water easily, no.

I'm very happy to tell Du Hong to relax and stand up without being afraid!

The Knicks fans didn't care about the score on the field. The first thing they did after Lin Tian scored was to look at old Nelson.

Oh, I'm not planning on changing anyone, that's great.

Then, I subtracted 35 from the number 3.

32 points left!
As the game progressed, both the Knicks fans and Skiles gradually lost their composure.

Scales' back began to be soaked with cold sweat, and he realized something was wrong.

The Knicks are actually defending! They are defending with all their might!
Seeing this on the Knicks just shows how hard they tried tonight.

Although their overall defense is a mess, and their individual defense is not up to par at all.

But that depends on who is right.

The Knicks' defense was fierce against the pure bench lineup of the Bulls, a mid-level team in the league!

It even has a bit of a dimensionality reduction attack meaning!
In comparison, none of your team's top four scorers are here, and no one on the court, except Duhon, averages more than 8 points per game.

This scoring ability was crushed by the Knicks, who were physically gifted.

Score?

Damn it!
Within 3 minutes of the start, the Bulls were completely blocked by the Knicks' defense and didn't score a single point!
The Knicks have already scored 12 points!

A dream start of 12:0!

The Knicks are still 80 points away from their 68-point goal!
As Skiles became more and more uneasy, and as he continued to sweat and swallow, the Madison fans began to get excited!
Lin Tian scored 3 points in just 8 minutes, accounting for 3/2 of the team's points. It was obvious that this guy had a pretty good touch and desire tonight!

At the same time, fans noticed that old Nelson just sat there calmly, without directing the game, and had no intention of replacing Lin Tian early.

It’s a sure win! This game is a sure win!
Just 35 points, maybe we can get it in the first quarter!
After 3 minutes and 20 seconds in the first quarter, the Bulls finally scored.

Shooting guard Safrosha made a shot from beyond the three-point line, successfully scoring the first goal for the team!
But unfortunately, this guy doesn't have any independent offensive ability now, and he hasn't even earned the nickname of "Swiss Army Knife".

He can score unexpectedly, but expecting him to save the team and narrow the scoreline? That's obviously asking too much!
Especially now that the team's starting point guard Du Hong has been completely suppressed by Lin Tian and has been beaten on both offense and defense and is completely unable to make any contribution to the team, the Bulls' offense is in complete chaos. Basically, everyone is fighting on their own, and whoever grabs it throws it!
To be honest, if you can play a tactic, run some beautiful off-ball moves, and do pick-and-roll cooperation, given the behavior of the Knicks players, he will not only be unable to defend you, but he will find it boring to defend a few of them and will immediately choose to relax on the defensive end and stop trying hard to defend.

Their defense is just like that. They just remember it now, so they try their best to defend. They are happy now, so they play with all their might for a few minutes.

Their defensive continuity depends entirely on one thing.

Feeling!

If the defense is good and the mood is good, then they will praise the defense. If they cannot defend two balls and are hit by the opponents, the Knicks will focus on the offensive end and try to hit two balls back.

This is the team's philosophy and winning habits.

But now, when the Bulls are completely unable to score and are completely suppressed by the Knicks, the confidence of the Knicks players is skyrocketing. Their morale and the energy they put into the defense are also skyrocketing!

Throughout the first quarter, the Knicks made the Bulls shoot only 20 out of 4 shots! The hit rate barely reached 20%! And they only scored 13 points.

The Knicks themselves went crazy with inside and outside shots, scoring 38 points in a single quarter!
In the first quarter, they led by a full 25 points!
To be honest, losing to the Knicks by 20 points in one quarter is a normal thing. With their firepower, once they start shooting and get excited, it is common for them to score 40 points in one quarter.

But that's through offense.

But tonight the Knicks relied on defense, their focus and fighting spirit on the defensive end, limiting their opponents to just 13 points in a single quarter. This is something that is unheard of and has never been seen before.

But you definitely won't see many games in a season.

I still say: This team doesn't defend at all! (End of this chapter)
