NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

At the same time when this internal notice of the Knicks was sent out, the first to be shocked were the Knicks players!

They learned about Lin Tian's injury before the morning training!

They saw Lin Tian, ​​who had not even changed his clothes, lying on the floor, being massaged and relaxed by a physiotherapist.

"Lin, your injury..." Anthony walked over with great concern.

"I'm fine." Lin Tian raised his head and looked at all the teammates who came over with Anthony. He struggled to get up, but he frowned appropriately while getting up, as if he had to endure great pain to get up.

"The coach asked me to rest for one game out of safety concerns! It's okay, it's completely fine, don't worry, just play at your own pace in this game, it's no different from the previous playoffs!"

"I believe you can definitely beat the Bulls! I believe we can definitely return to New York with a 3:1 lead!"

"Then, let's take the bull together!"

"Don't have any psychological pressure. Even if we lose the next game, we'll only be 2:2. We still have the advantage and can easily beat them!"

"Lin, I asked, Kelvin said that you can't fight the ban no matter what..." Just when a group of people surrounded Lin Tian, ​​an "extra" pushed the door and walked into the training hall on time, and then stopped abruptly in the middle of his words at the right time.

But even though he stopped, everyone could hear the key words.

Closed, and Kelvin.

Kelvin is a special consultant to the Knicks' medical team and one of the best sports rehabilitation doctors in New York and even in the United States. He is a very famous guy who has performed surgeries on several top stars and has a very high reputation in the entire athlete circle!

Because the Knicks are located in New York and the Dolan family has strong enough connections, Kelvin was given the title of consultant and would occasionally give the team's players some advice and treatment plans.

As for the closure thing...

Needless to say, everyone understands.

And now, everyone has figured out the complete context and process of the incident at the first time.

Lin Tian was injured, very seriously, and will not be able to recover in the short term.

Although it is unknown when he will be able to return or recover, Lin wants to return to the game, and wants to return to the game immediately. In order to return to the game, this guy finds Kelvin and asks him if he can get a closed injection!

Everyone knows that for ordinary people, isolation can keep them away from pain and relieve their suffering.

But if the athlete continues to play after receiving the injection, it may allow him to survive a game, but it will definitely cause irreparable and huge subsequent damage to the athlete!

For athletes, isolation is like a "three-day death pill". It can help you recover your strength for this game, but then you will definitely die within three days.

"It's not to the point where you have to get a closed-door shot! It's just the Bulls." Anthony, who was loyal enough, was the first to shake his head to express his disapproval.

"That's right! It's just the Bulls, and we are leading 2:1! We can beat them, Lin, you just need to have a good rest!" Stoudemire made a statement immediately afterwards.

"I didn't say I wanted to fight." Lin Tian smiled bitterly and said, "I was just asking!"

"Don't ask!" Old Nelson also came over at this time in a 'menacing' manner! He grabbed the assistant coach who came to report the news and scolded: "Lin is an idiot, are you too? He asked you to ask, so you asked? He asked you to die, so you went?"

Then, old Nelson cast his eyes towards the whole audience with a menacing look, and said viciously: "This word will never be allowed to appear in my team! Never! For anyone, in any game, in any situation! I mean anyone!"

"Don't let anyone give me that kind of idea! Back then, I would rather the Mavericks be eliminated than let Dirk play for even one second. Today, here, I will do the same!"

"I won't allow it! Do you understand? Not just Lin, but everyone! Not allowed! Do you understand?"

"But Tang, my injury... the doctor said that if I'm lucky I can recover in three days, but if things go wrong, it may take a month! Everything depends on the recovery, it's hard to say, I'm worried about my guys..."

"We can do it! We can eliminate the Bulls!" Anthony interrupted Lin Tian before he finished speaking and said in an unquestionable tone: "We will eliminate the Bulls!"

What old Nelson and Lin Tian said made several simple-minded people in the team cry!

Where can you find such good teammates and coaches?

One wants to get a closed shot, and the other says players come first, and championships and results go to hell.

How can there be such a good person!

If you don't give your life to people like this, are you still a human being?

In an instant, the momentum of the entire Knicks team was completely boosted!

There was fire in everyone's eyes.

Old Nelson and Lin Tian looked at the Knicks team that was once again ignited. Their eyes met in the air, and then they put away their smiles at the same time.

They knew very well that even without Lin Tian, ​​the Bulls would be finished!
While Lin Tian and old Nelson staged such a big drama and successfully inspired the morale and bloodiness of the Knicks players, the popularity of Lin Tian's injury has also become the number one event in the American sports circle!

Because Lin Tian has good popularity, many stars called Lin Tian to ask about his situation and send him their blessings.

Even the Knicks' current opponents, the Chicago Bulls' Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, sent their blessings to Lin Tian in front of the media and called Lin Tian to ask about his condition.

As for Lin Tian’s number one younger brother, Ben Wallace, on the Bulls?

This guy even rushed directly to the hotel where the Knicks were staying, crying and shouting that he wanted to meet his big brother and give his blessings on the spot.

Of course, Lin Tian responded to these blessings one by one and expressed his gratitude.

As for the remaining media and fans, they will naturally demonstrate their energy in their areas of expertise.

The media began to analyze when and how Lin Tian was injured. They began to study Lin Tian's situation through various evidence, details and Lin Tian's condition at each moment.

Some people said that Lin Tian was suddenly injured in the last game against the Bulls, some people said that Lin Tian’s injury started in April, and some people said that Lin Tian’s injury started after the All-Star Game.

Amidst all the various theories that emerged and competed with each other, the one that ultimately received the most support and likes was that Lin Tian was injured around the All-Star Game in February. This was also the beginning of him suddenly reducing his shots, reducing his playing time, and his statistics dropping drastically in February!
He then continued to play and recover, and by late March he was almost fully recovered and had a very impressive performance.

But in April, his injury once again plagued him, which made his condition fluctuate again and his playing time unstable.

What finally caused Lin Tian's injury to relapse was the last game of the regular season, in which Lin Tian scored 40 points!

Lin Tian's condition at the beginning of that game looked uncomfortable and he wanted to leave the court early to rest. He obviously didn't care about averaging 40 points per game.

But in the end, this guy may have done it out of vanity or because he wanted to give back to the fans amid the fans' non-stop and crazy cheers and requests.

Anyway, this guy came on the court, and then this guy fulfilled the fans' wishes, and then he got injured.

What finally made the injury completely uncontrollable was the third game of the series. In that game, Lin Tian was obviously "incapable of doing his best" and "powerless". This guy must have played on the court with serious injuries and pain in that game.

Lin Tian's original idea was to get a 3:0 advantage, then take a break in the fourth game, allowing his teammates to win the series with a 3:0 lead, while he could get as much rest time as possible.

But because of the Bulls' explosion in the third game, Lin Tian's plan failed!
Not only did he fail to win Game 3, but his injury also worsened and he was unable to play in the fourth or even subsequent games.

This guy's prospects and condition in the playoffs this year are quite worrying!
The above is the most popular and convincing argument among fans and media across the United States today!
Of course, there are many logical loopholes in this statement!

The most basic one is: if Lin Tian felt uncomfortable, why would he play in the April game when the team had already secured second place in the Eastern Conference and his own scoring average had already exceeded 40 points? Is there any meaning?
Just to play 80 games and fulfill your obsessive-compulsive disorder?

This is totally unacceptable!
But inexplicably, although some people raised this question, it failed to gain any market or discussion. The fans accused the people who raised the question of "you have no humanity!" "Lin is injured and you are still slandering him!" "What kind of bastard would come up with a conspiracy theory at this time!" "Injuries are bad, but I hope all injuries are given to these guys who make sarcastic remarks!"

Well...anyway, the tone and direction of public opinion quickly reached a consensus.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian suddenly became an ultimate warrior who had to fight with injuries for two consecutive months, refusing to leave the front line even with minor injuries and taking closed-off shots even with serious injuries!
His reputation once again received a huge boost unintentionally and inexplicably!

As for the substantial increase in sales of his numerous related products and his partners' products, which has brought huge economic benefits and countless amounts of money to Lin Tian and his partners, that is another matter!

In short, when Lin Tian himself made this plan, he didn't expect that the crappy idea he and old Nelson came up with would be so powerful!
Fortunately, no matter how much stamina there is, it is all positive! For the time being, there will be no negative situation that will affect Lin Tian's reputation.

In fact, Lin Tian was 100% sure that even if he jumped out now and said that he was not injured, had just been injured or the injury was very minor, no one would believe him!
Everyone has already formed a preconceived notion!
As for why Lin Tian is so sure?
Because he really did it!
After his injury report came out, he immediately clarified that his injury was very minor, just some slight discomfort, and it was not an accumulated fatigue injury, but an discomfort he just felt.

However, no one believed it!
More people said: Don’t hold on!

Rest! It's time to rest!
You don't owe this league, you don't owe the fans!
You have done your best for the fans and you have given your all for the team!
Take a good rest and let go of everything!

Basketball is just basketball, life is everything!
In particular, at almost the same time, the news that Lin Tian asked New York's top surgeon if he could get a sealing injection before going on the court was also spread!

This time, everyone was even more unconvinced!

You're just holding on!

In short, all of Lin Tian's fans reached a consensus at this moment. They apologized to Lin Tian on all occasions they could get in touch with him, saying that they were very regretful and that they should not have forced him to get higher points or create any records when they knew that Lin Tian was extremely exhausted.

The fans have already confirmed: Lin Tian’s injury is all because we asked for too much!
It's all our fault!

There isn't much we can do to make up for this mistake. Buying a few more pairs of AND1 shoes and peripherals, as well as other things endorsed by Lin Tian, ​​and contributing a little to Lin Tian's income is all the fans can do!

"I feel that if people knew that this was our plan, we would both be killed." Old Nelson himself was intimidated. Before the start of the fourth game in the series between the Bulls and the Knicks, he expressed some concern to Lin Tian.

“Then don’t let anyone know!” Lin Tian said without hesitation: “Now only you, me, and Chris, who is in charge of acting as an extra, know about this!”

"I think that instead of trusting Chris to keep the secret, it would be better to go all out and let him keep the secret forever!"

"What do you mean?" Old Nelson once again couldn't keep up with Lin Tian's thoughts.

"Let him never speak again! Let him disappear from this world!" Lin Tian said as he scratched his neck: "Dead people will never reveal any secrets!"

"Are you crazy? Are you trying to silence someone?" Old Nelson was confused again. He said that he was already crazy enough, and you, little brother, were ten times crazier than me!

"Of course it's bullshit." Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "You think too much! If you are really uneasy and unsure, then just tell the truth! Just tell the truth to the reporters, your friends, the fans, and your family."

"They won't believe it anyway. They will think you are hiding my injury and forcing me to play."

"It can't be cleared, so let it be!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, indicating that everything was casual and he didn't care at all.

Old Nelson couldn't help but applaud Lin Tian's carefree and indifferent attitude. What a real man!

He is worthy of being the one that I, Old Tang, like!

But if Nelson looked at Lin Tian’s phone, he would immediately raise his middle finger at Lin Tian and turn all his respect into contempt.

Because Lin Tian’s phone was full of text messages he had sent with Pelinka and others in the past two days.

The content of the text message was basically plotting how to hype, how to control the rhythm and public opinion, how to make the trend more intense, and how to make the fans feel extremely regretful when they sympathize with Lin Tian.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that Lin Tian’s inquiry about whether he could have a closed injection was so secretive that it was known to everyone at the first time?

How could public opinion reach a consensus so quickly, making Lin Tian's "injury" such a perfect opportunity to make money?
And then? Of course, you have to spend money to buy equipment!
Lin Tian even discussed with Austin and others from AND1: It’s time to have a wave of discount promotions!

Lin Tian is injured and AND1 is on sale. Are you still human if you don’t buy it?

Must buy! Must support!

In short, Lin Tian successfully seized this opportunity with his super fast reaction, dirty heart, and shameless style.

He doesn't have to play in the game, just watch.

The morale of the teammates has been completely aroused, and the following state is bound to be quite hot.

The fans love him even more, and the bond between them and him becomes even stronger.

The cooperation with old Nelson became more perfect, and the two foxes became closer.

Having made a lot of money, in the future, if partners want to cooperate with Lin Tian, ​​the quotes they offer will inevitably be higher.

Kill five birds with one stone, five birds with one arrow!
Just give them eagles and birds, and wipe out their entire family!
Anyway, it’s so wonderful!
Lin Tian was sitting on the sidelines watching the fourth game of the series, and the Knicks completely exploded!

Momentum and state are sometimes so magical. They come as soon as they come, and once they come, you can't stop them!
Come on crazy!

In this game, the Knicks changed their style of play from the third game where the whole team frantically tried three-pointers, continuously shooting from beyond the three-point line but with poor touch and ultimately losing the game.

From the beginning of the game, Stoudemire and Ward, who was promoted to the starting lineup, made consecutive pick-and-rolls and attacked the basket.

Although the Bulls have Ben Wallace on guard, he is not tall enough and is getting older, so he really has no way to deal with Stoudemire's pure impact style of play.

He lacks talent and height, and even his signature toughness and strength have begun to decline significantly. Now he really has no way to stop the full-fire Stoudemire!
More importantly, it’s not just Xiao Si who is rushing in now!

Anthony and Okur, two guys who mainly rely on shooting, also rushed to the inside again and again!

And because Lin Tian was on rest and there were concerns that the starting lineup might not be able to hold the ball, Hill, who replaced Barnes as the starter, was the same. As if he had forgotten how many injuries his knees had suffered and how many surgeries he had undergone, he rushed towards the inside with others!

The Knicks relied on their talent and physical strength to break the Bulls' defense into pieces at the beginning.

After the Bulls were forced to quickly retreat and begin to deploy heavy troops to defend under the basket, several players from the Knicks started shooting again!

Anthony, Stoudemire, Hill, Okur, who is not a top-notch shooting expert in the same position in the league?
These four guys shot one after another, forcing the Bulls to expand their defense again.

And guess what?

They started to break through again!

In short, every adjustment made by the Knicks tonight was extremely precise and hit the Bulls right in the balls.

The young Bulls were beaten so hard that they cried for their parents and were extremely miserable.

When the game was over, the entire Knicks team played extremely fiercely tonight, as if they wanted to release all of Lin Tian’s anger, reluctance, fear and worry about his rest tonight!
这个晚上，小斯轰下30分14篮板，安东尼33分7篮板4助攻，老希尔也首发打了33分钟，拿下21分7篮板7助攻的全面数据！
再加上命中了5个三分拿下20分的奥库，今晚的尼克斯队4人得分超过20，两人得分超过30！

The whole team scored a crazy 133 points, beating the Bulls by 30 points!
Logically speaking, the Bulls were in pretty good shape tonight. Ben Gordon continued his killer form, scoring a game-high 41 points, and Luol Deng also had a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds.

However, compared to the Knicks' crazy firepower, they still lost and lost miserably by as much as 30 points!
I can't beat him, I really can't beat him!

This is what all Bulls fans felt after this game. Even if Lin Tian was not there, they were no match for this Knicks team.

And just after the game ended, when the Knicks returned to New York that night with a perfect 3:1 situation, the Knicks officials issued another injury update.

"Lin Tian's groin strain is recovering slowly and he will continue to miss Game 5 of the series!"

When this news was released at this time, the fans once again quickly understood it!
This guy is not well at all!
He decided whether to return based on the team's condition and the series' situation rather than his own physical condition!

If the score is 2:2, he will definitely fight for the decisive game, but if the score is 3:1, this guy will take another rest!
But what if he loses Game 5? Will he come back for Game 6?

Most likely... yes!

At this point, all the fans understood, and they all shouted the same slogan!

"End the series! Let Lin rest!"

"End the series!"

"Protect our best forest!"

"The best gift for him is to send the Bulls away with a score of 4:1!" (End of this chapter)
