NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

The ten starting players of both teams have already stepped onto the court, ready to go.

The Hornets' starting lineup consists of Paul, Richardson, Jackson, Aldridge and Biedrins.

Four of these five people happened to be the starting lineup of the Warriors last year. They maintained the stability and competitiveness of the team's lineup to the greatest extent.

And on the bench, they also have firepower that the league envied.

Anthony Morrow, a sharpshooter who was not selected in this year's draft but made a name for himself in the summer league and preseason and stayed in the league! This guy shot 48% of his 3-pointers in the summer league.

Even in the preseason, his shooting percentage remained at 42%. If he can maintain this state, he will definitely be the league's new generation of sharpshooters, and it can be regarded as another beautiful bargain for the Warriors in the offseason.
Then there is Monta Ellis, a very good attacker who has been in the league for several years and ranked third in last year's best sixth man voting.

Ellis has top speed, first-rate mid-range shooting ability and excellent breakthrough ability. Although his playing style is unique, his offensive power should not be underestimated!

In addition to Morrow and Aldridge, it was the remaining few people plus Thomas who left the team that worked together to create a winning streak at the end of last season, and the team almost made it to the playoffs!
Even if the team hadn't failed to find its rhythm in the first half of the season and had dug a hole that was too big and too deep, the Warriors might have already made it to the playoffs last season!

But obviously, failing to make the playoffs last year did not make these young people too disappointed, because they all knew that their era had just begun!
This season, the general view and prediction of the Warriors is that making the playoffs will be a success.

But in fact, the Warriors’ internal goal is to at least enter the second round!

The ambitions of this group of young people can no longer be hidden!

As for the Knicks, with Dolan not afraid of spending money or paying luxury taxes, they have also maintained the integrity of their lineup to the greatest extent possible.

Like the Warriors, the Knicks' starting lineup includes four players who are exactly the same as last season.

Okur, Stoudemire, Anthony and Lin Tian, ​​and for some considerations, Nelson Sr. took Barnes out of the starting lineup and put Gerald Wallace in the first game of the preseason and regular season this season.

"Boy, I heard that they all regard you as my successor and think that you can take on the banner of the point guard position after I retire?" As soon as Lin Tianyi stepped onto the court, he found Paul. The two were actually quite familiar with each other and had played against each other many times before.

However, this was the first time that Lin Tian had such a direct conversation with Paul.

"I'm not your successor, I'm not anyone's successor." Paul was not afraid of Lin Tian at all, he raised his head and said, "I'm Chris... FUXX! What are you doing?"

Paul was halfway through his words when he suddenly shuddered, quickly retracted his head and hid to the side, his eyes full of vigilance and caution.

"Rubbing your head won't hurt you." Lin Tian smiled obscenely and slapped his palm in the air. He looked at Paul and said, "Come on, let me touch it, and I will admit that you are the best point guard after me! I will tell others that you are my disciple! How about it, if you let me rub it to your heart's content, I will make you my number one disciple, isn't that good enough?"

"I don't need your recognition! I don't need to be your disciple! I don't want it! I am who I am, I am Kerry... FUXX! I said don't touch my head!"

Once again, Paul was interrupted in the middle of his speech, and once again he had no choice but to quickly dodge Lin Tian's claws.

"It's such a waste not to let people touch such a round head! What's the difference between this and a very attractive girl being a lesbian? It's all a waste of God's gifts! God will punish you for wasting God's gifts! Do you believe in God?"

"Don't insult God! Damn pagan!" Paul no longer dared to approach Lin Tian.

God knows why this bastard is so interested in my head. Could it be some special XP?
Paul felt cold sweat starting to appear on his back!
It has to be said that the point guard position is indeed where the most cunning and dirty-minded guys in the entire league gather. These guys have dirtier minds than each other, and they love to make up stories and make up stories more than each other!

The main point is shameless!
This kind of behavior of secretly criticizing others is just as shameless as talking bad about others behind their backs. It is not gentlemanly at all!
Mr. Lin looked down on such people. He never did that. He never spoke ill of others behind their backs, and he never made random assumptions on his own.

Mr. Lin always says what he thinks and always criticizes people face to face!
"Chris, your sensitive area isn't located in a particularly strange place, right? When someone touches your head, you get really excited, and then your legs go limp and your crotch gets wet?"

Look! When Mr. Lin has dirty thoughts in his mind, he always speaks out directly.

Never hide anything.

"Shut up!" Paul's face turned completely gloomy, and his face, which always had a smile on it, now turned completely bitter.

"I think Lin guessed right! I've always said this kid is wrong! What normal person wouldn't let others touch his head? It's not like he's going to lose a piece of meat or anything like that."

Stoudemire stroked his chin and said to Wallace beside him, "Lin's analysis makes sense all of a sudden! Quite reasonable! Only when the head and that thing have the same function, and only those who make a "hehe" sound, then a "huha" and finally an "oh" sound when their heads are touched, would regard their heads as so important that they wouldn't allow anyone to touch them!"

"As expected of Lin! He can even think of this, amazing!" Wallace nodded repeatedly beside him, being a good supporting actor.

"Shut up! Is there something wrong with you three? Shut up! I'm not a monster! How is this possible!" Paul's eyes widened, with a sentence written all over his face.

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"Then let me do it!" Lin Tian continued to rub his hands and said, "Let me rub it. If everything is normal for you, I will believe you!"

"Why should I let you touch me?" Paul took another step back, fearing that Lin Tian would launch a surprise attack.

"See, I was right!" Lin Tian simply ignored Paul and turned to look at Stoudemire and Wallace, as if he had discovered a new world.

Paul was so angry at these old hooligans that he wanted to stamp his feet, but unfortunately, he had no way to refute them.

Who told them to be so shameless? No matter what you say, I'm just talking bullshit.
Paul knew that unless he stuck his head over and let them have some fun, there was no way he would be able to shut these bastards up.

but……

Why the fuck? Why should I stick my head out and let these bastards rub it when they say so?
And Paul was sure that even if he stuck his head in, he wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

Even Paul could imagine what would happen next. If he really stuck his head over there, this group of people would definitely touch his head and comment on it.

“It feels good, and it’s furry and quite comfortable.”

"It's so round and plump. This little head can be used as a basketball."

"So cute, I love this head!"

"What if I can't touch such a nice head in the future? Where can I find such a nice head to touch?"

I felt a chill and started shivering.

This group of scumbags are really scumbags!

"That's enough, you guys." It was Jackson who saved Paul in the end.

The oldest, most experienced and only championship-winning guy on the team stood beside Paul and said, "Don't bully Chris. He's my good buddy."

"We won't bully Stephen's little brother!" Lin Tian said with a grin, "But you have to tell me what secrets are in his head. Can it really be used as a switch to turn on something?"

"Shut up Lin! You don't want to be ejected in the first game of your last season, do you?" The referee tonight also walked onto the court at this time and threatened Lin Tian.

Lin Tian could only shrug his shoulders and said, "Then I'll have to decipher it next time. I believe I can definitely figure out what secrets are hidden in Chris's head!"

"There's a chicken feather! There's a chicken feather!" Paul's mentality was obviously broken at this moment, and he shouted at Lin Tian.

"Yes, yes, chicken feathers, all chicken feathers, your head is full of chicken feathers, are you satisfied?" Lin Tian spread out his hands, with an expression that said, since you said so, there is no way, I can only listen to you.

Quite asking for a beating!

"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense!" The referee was too lazy to listen to these two guys behaving like elementary school students. He walked to the center circle and signaled that the game was about to begin.

Okur and Biedrins also walked to their positions, took their positions, and prepared for the jump ball.

"Beep!" With a whistle, Biedrins, who has good physical fitness, height and long arms, got the first ball possession of the night for the Warriors.

Paul grabbed the basketball and pressed down with both hands quickly: "Pull away! Pull away! I want to let Lin know the consequences of offending me! With the first ball, I will let this outdated old guy know: his era is over!"

The Warriors players quickly moved away, leaving Paul in the middle to face Lin Tian one-on-one.

"Come on, Lin! Let me show you how powerful I am!" As soon as Paul finished speaking, he suddenly accelerated forward and rushed towards Lin Tian.

But just as Paul took a step forward, Lin Tian felt something dark around him.

Pick and roll is coming!

Aldridge's tall figure directly blocked Lin Tian's side.

Although Lin Tian quickly moved forward and squeezed through the screen without losing his position and still stood in front of Paul, the problem was that the Knicks' subsequent defense was still as bad as before.

Although Lin Tian squeezed through the defense and maintained the pressure, Stoudemire next to him showed habitual distraction and was completely unable to keep up with Aldridge.

Aldridge moved sideways quickly and got an open shot opportunity.

Paul's pass was indeed steady, accurate and ruthless. With a basic one-handed hit, the basketball came into Aldridge's hands. The big man who was delayed for a whole year last year threw the ball as soon as he caught it.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Aldridge scored the first goal of the season!

After scoring the goal, the big guy also clenched his fists tightly.

He wants to get back all the humiliation, neglect and frustration he suffered last season this season!
"I've been playing basketball for so many years, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you!" Lin Tian pouted and said shamelessly, "I agreed to give you a one-on-one duel, but you're still setting a screen and passing the ball. Do you have any shame?"

"Boss, have some shame." Jackson ran over and said, "I taught Chris this move. When I taught him, I used you as a model."

"Traitor!" Lin Tian snorted at Jackson and said, "Don't call me boss in the future. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it."

"No, boss, I just... FUXX! I knew it!" Jackson tried to explain with a bitter face, but then he found out that he had been fooled again.

While Lin Tian was talking, he had already completed the three-step process of catching the ball, advancing quickly, and then making a sudden long pass.

After the basketball flew to the frontcourt, it fell into Anthony's hands. Because Jackson was distracted, this guy got a huge open space.

Then Anthony took a step to adjust his rhythm, and then he just shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"

2: 3!

"Steve, how do you describe me to others?" After successfully assisting the opponent with a sneak attack, Lin Tian asked the question out of curiosity.

"Shameless, treacherous, full of bullshit on the court, shameless, no bottom line, good at lying and cheating, and has the best ability to mess with people's mentality." Jackson was an honest child after all, and he told the truth directly.

"Good brother!" Xiao Si, who ran past Lin Tian, ​​gave Jackson a thumbs up.

"You've got guts!" Anthony also gave a thumbs up.

"Lin is very narrow-minded. Aren't you afraid of death by making up stories about him?" O'Kurt gave a very kind reminder.

"You three are all dead!" Lin Tian nodded, indicating that they could do it, quite capable.

See you after the game!
As for the competition?
As soon as Lin Tian finished saying this, he suddenly rushed forward, rushed to Paul's side, and started to put him on high-intensity tight defense.

This sudden increase in intensity really made Paul quite uncomfortable.

He was forced into a very embarrassing situation by Lin Tian, ​​and even because the resistance given by Lin Tian was too strong, Paul couldn't stand firm.

He staggered twice in succession. That was because he had a low enough chassis, good basic skills, and strong adjustment ability, so he was able to stand firmly after supporting the floor with his left hand, and successfully passed the ball.

"Your basic skills are pretty good." When Lin Tian saw Paul successfully pass the ball, he immediately lowered the intensity of his defense and quickly retreated to the Knicks' half.

"Let's not rush today, let's play slowly." Lin Tian chewed gum and looked at Paul, who was a head shorter than him: "How do you think I will beat you tonight?"

"We will embark on the journey tonight, and we will make a splash tonight! We are strong!" Paul said as he asked for the basketball again and began to organize the offense.

I have to say that the Warriors' tactical system is quite methodical.

They take Paul as the absolute core, and their main tactics are somewhat similar to those of the Suns, that is, pick-and-roll.

The pick-and-roll between Paul and Aldridge is the core play of this team. At least half of the team's tactics are initiated with the pick-and-roll between these two people.

But the Warriors, which have top guards and many players with explosive physical fitness, are playing a positional battle, which is completely different from the Suns' high-speed transition running and gunning style of play where they throw the ball after blocking or even directly throw it without blocking.
Paul's advancement always requires him to be on the verge of an 8-second violation before he is willing to pass half court. After reaching the full court, he is not in a hurry to organize the offense or start an attack.

This guy always slowly watches his teammates run and calls out tactics. Sometimes he even starts calling out tactics just after half-time. Then when he gets outside the three-point line, he may have changed several sets of tactics in just a few seconds and asked his teammates to run.

Anyway, in Lin Tian's opinion, this guy is treating his teammates like idiots and is just fooling around.

Mr. Lin never does such meaningless things. If he had the time, he would have accelerated to the inside and scored 2 points with a dunk.

He plays methodically and slowly, and seems to be mature, stable and patient, but in Lin Tian's opinion: it's useless.

Especially Paul, who is in his early 20s, has explosive physical fitness, incredible speed, and solid basic skills. He is only in the third year of his professional career. No matter how you look at it, he is in his prime, running around like crazy, shooting and scoring points, playing like mercury.

But this guy, at such a young age, has already started to fight "worm bombardment".

A violent thing!
But if Lin Tian thought about it carefully, he could actually understand why Paul played like that.

Ultimately it comes down to height. After all, he is only 183 cm tall, and that’s just a claim.

Let alone 180cm, even whether your real height can exceed 175cm is a challenge!
With this body and height, no matter how talented Paul is, no matter how passionate and ardent he is, he has to use it sparingly.

Play slowly, and compete with your opponent in experience, patience, tacit understanding, overall view and tactical qualities.

From the fans' perspective, this style of play is definitely not satisfying or enjoyable enough.

But at the very least, this is the best way to prolong Paul's career and keep him in the league as long as possible!
This guy was obviously unwilling to be marginalized in the league because of a serious injury after playing such a wonderful performance for 3-5 years. He eventually bid farewell to the professional league early and became a nobody.

After all, the shorter the player, the more likely he is to be eliminated from the league due to his declining physical fitness.

If they want to gain a foothold in the alliance, they need effort and perseverance far beyond that of ordinary people, and they also need to pay more to achieve this.

And what Paul is paying now is pleasure!
In order to stay in the league longer, the first price this guy paid was to choose a calmer and more steady style of play at an age when he could have let off steam and unleashed his energy the most.

As for what Paul did, was it right or wrong, good or bad?
Mr. Lin said: It’s none of my business.

No matter what choice you make, Paul, you will never be a match for your Master Lin.

The most important thing in my life is to be happy! (End of this chapter)
