NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

In the second quarter, Lin Tian only played for 6 minutes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these 6 minutes were the most painful and darkest 6 minutes in Paul's career.

Within 6 minutes, Lin Tian almost destroyed all of Paul's confidence and courage.

In 6 minutes, Lin Tian took 9 shots, almost accounting for all the shots of the Knicks in this half of the game.

These 9 shots brought Lin Tian 7 hits and 18 points.

他6分钟内9投7中，3分球1投1中、罚球3罚全中，狂轰18分！
Lin Tian also used these 6 minutes of madness to successfully help the Knicks reverse the downward trend!
Before he came on the court, the Warriors were on a rampage, not only taking the lead but also silencing the entire Madison Garden.

After Lin Tian came on the court, the Knicks not only achieved a climax and overtook the opponent in one fell swoop, but also made the atmosphere of the entire Madison completely ignite once again!

As Lin Tian scored goals again and again, the fans roared and screamed one after another.

We've waited a whole summer and finally have our mayor back!
What is even more amazing is the way Lin Tian scored these goals.

He didn't use any brute force at all, and he didn't even rely on his height advantage to bully Paul.

Every ball is pure technology!
The thing that Paul is best at, most confident in and relies on the most, was used by Lin Tian to beat Paul to a pulp.

Paul really has no power to fight back!

If it was the previous Lin Tian, ​​when dealing with small or mediocre guards like Paul, Nash, and Iverson, he would always use brute force and the simplest, most direct and most bullying way to score.

Just crush with pure physical strength.

This style of play is very enjoyable and can easily break the opponent's defense.

For example, Nash in the finals last season, and Iverson who was beaten by Lin Tian countless times in the past few years...

But tonight, Lin Tian was not so simple and direct.

He used pure technology.

This method can make people even more desperate when facing a technical player like Paul.

In comparison, if Lin Tian used his height, wingspan and strength to beat Paul, even if he could still achieve such exaggerated output and efficiency, Paul would have an excuse.

"You are just a little taller than me, aren't you? If I were also 193cm tall, I would defend you to death!"

"You are just stronger than me, aren't you? If I were taller or heavier, you wouldn't even think of sitting here!"

Just as Lin Tian said before: I talk trash to protect your self-esteem and to give you an excuse to find after you are beaten by me due to your incompetence.

"My words are not as poisonous as Lin Tian's. I can beat him to death if he shuts up."

But once Lin Tian stops talking, this excuse no longer holds true.

This time too.

When Lin Tian abandoned his style of play that relied on strength and physicality, and instead used his footwork, skills, fake moves, rhythm, and unstoppable shooting to pin Paul to the ground and rub him madly, Paul really had no excuse.

He could only accept the fact that he was far inferior to Lin Tian and was completely defeated by him.

After all, these things are what Paul is best at.

Yes, Lin Tian chose to attack from behind several times, but he never relied on brute force to get in even once.

Every time, he relied on the parts that Paul was best at and most proud of to beat Paul terribly and leave him powerless to defend.

Not to mention his strength and height advantages, Lin Tian didn't even rely on his speed to beat Paul!

He didn't even leave Paul with the last excuse of 'You are just born fast, aren't you?'

Paul was really beaten to death.

Lin Tian's 9 shots plus one foul and two free throws, without exception, were all taken after completely shaking off Paul!
Every time, Paul had no chance of defending Lin Tian.

In other words, every time, Paul and his teammates had no chance of defending Lin Tian.

They were totally blown away!

No matter whether Lin Tian is shooting from mid-range, making a layup or taking a 3-point shot, no matter what offensive method he chooses, the Warriors players are powerless to stop him!

Of course, the Warriors were not without reaction or change.

In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, when Lin Tian was making his last 3 personal attacks, the Warriors chose to double-team him. They both double-teamed him in advance, hoping to use the pressure of two people to suppress Lin Tian's personal attacks.

But obviously, this change is of no help in the face of madness.

In the 3rd attack, Lin Tian made a series of fancy dribbles, which made Paul and Jackson dizzy and collided with each other. He then took two steps back and threw the ball from outside the 3-point line to get 3 points.

Then, before a double-team formed, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, passed directly between two defenders, and made a difficult jump shot in the mid-range!
In the last attack, facing the Warriors' third consecutive double-team, Lin Tian suddenly changed his offensive mode.

He passed the ball to Anthony, then he ran back and suddenly turned around to speed up and cut, and then got the basketball near the free throw line.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Paul or Jackson who was assisting in defense, they were both stunned by Lin Tian.

How could they have imagined that Lin Tian would suddenly come up with a wall-to-wall pass from football, combined with his counter-running skills and absolute speed, to break through the Warriors' entire defense in one step.

Once the hardest part is completed easily, the rest will come naturally.

Lin Tian received the pass from Anthony, rushed to the basket in one step, raised the ball high with one arm, and then exerted all his strength to slam the ball into the basket!

After this goal, the first half of the game officially ended, and Lin Tian also completed his crazy performance in the first half of the game.

At the same time, the Knicks went from being suppressed, forced to close the score, being overtaken and left behind when Lin Tian was absent, to chasing the entire Warriors team and easily taking the lead again!

And it’s a double-digit lead!

47: 58!

After Lin Tian's dunk that almost beat the buzzer, the Knicks successfully took a double-digit advantage in the first half!
Whether it is the fans or the players, the morale is high at this time, and everyone is extremely excited.

Of course, it’s not just because the Knicks turned defeat into victory, nor is it just because Lin Tian scored 18 points in just half a quarter.

The appetites of New York fans and players have long been spoiled. This level of scoring performance and reversal is nothing to them, and it can't even be described as "explosive hack" or "massive bombardment".

They have seen too much.

But this time is different.

This time, Lin Tian’s 18 points were really entertaining!
Every one of the 18 points can be included in the top ten plays or the textbook of singles by outside players!

From the perspective of players and professionals, these goals are all about technique, details, and skills.

In the eyes of football fans and amateur enthusiasts, these goals are more dazzling, more exciting, and more gorgeous than each other!
Especially as Lin Tian's playing style has become more and more simple and natural in recent years, and he is less and less willing to show off all those fancy tricks and techniques, and always uses a purer, simpler and more efficient way to attack, Lin Tian's performance in this half quarter made the fans even more excited.

I haven’t seen Lin Tian like this for a long time!

It is true that things are valuable because they are rare.

While everyone was extremely excited and celebrating wildly, Lin Tian remained calm, or rather, remained cold and arrogant.

"Well, Chris, do you understand what I mean? I always talk trash just for fun, not to attack you."

"I always use my body to beat you little dwarfs because I can't bear to use the things you are good at to beat you up."

"I have no interest in destroying a talented defender on the rise."

"You could have been beaten by me in a plain way, and become who knows how many victims and background boards in my entire career." At this point, Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "But you chose the most difficult path. I always like to help others realize their dreams!"

"You fart!"

Although not many people could hear Lin Tian's trash talk, there were still a few people besides Paul.

For example, the Knicks legends in the front row of Madison Square Garden clearly heard Lin Tian’s words, and these old bastards condemned Lin Tian’s remarks almost in unison.

And you still help others fulfill their dreams? How many times have you beaten up your brothers? How many times have you ruined their dreams of winning the championship?

When have you ever fulfilled our dreams?

Lin Tian didn't want to tolerate these guys, and said to Ewing: "Who was the one who knelt on the ground and called me, begging me to let the Heat go so that you could play against them in the first round of the playoffs?"

"You said this was the last dream of your career. Have I accomplished it? Have I fulfilled your dream?"

"As for the other old guys." Lin Tian looked at Frazier, Monroe, Reed and the like, and gave a thumbs down and said, "I don't owe you bastards anything! You can't win the championship because of your own failure. It's none of my business."

"What about what you owe me? Lin! What are you going to use to pay me back for what you owe me?"

This curse really made Lin Tian shudder all over. If the owner of this voice was not a short, thin and dark little man, Lin Tian would really think that it was the Hilton or Olsen sisters who came to collect debts. If it was really those people, Lin Tian really had no way to deal with it.

What could he do? Give each of them a child?
It’s fucking terrifying just thinking about it!
What pink hell and peach paradise lost!
Mr. Lin doesn't want to meet the Creator at the age of 38.

But fortunately, it’s not those few.

The person who said this was Spike Lee.

"How many times have you given up on achieving historic numbers and chosen to leave the court early to rest? How many times have you ignored the fans' demands and enthusiasm and missed great opportunities to create records."

"Do you know how many people's dreams you've shattered?" "How dare you talk to me, Spike? You old bastard, how dare you talk to me?"

"Come on, tell me who is the father of reality shows in today's world? Well, it seems to be me? ... But you are at least the father of reality shows!"

"Also, you dream of helping the Knicks successfully defend their title once, creating a dynasty and becoming a top powerhouse."

"Are the Knicks defending their title now? Have they become a dynasty?"

"Come on, tell me loudly what basketball-related dreams you have that you haven't achieved yet! Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

Spike Lee was also silent.

At this moment, Lin Tian was punching the celebrities and kicking the fans. He was like a king dominating the world and acting recklessly!
Ok.

and many more?

It seems like something important is missing?

Lin Tian thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember.

If you don’t remember it, forget it.

If you can't remember it, it means it must not be something important.

After Lin Tian once again glanced at the troublemakers in the front row with great dominance, he walked back to the locker room triumphantly.

Paul was left standing there in a daze, looking as if he didn't know what to do.

Well, Paul who was completely forgotten by Lin Tian.

After being beaten up and bombarded with trash talk by Lin Tian, ​​this unlucky guy had just thought of some content and method to retort and was ready to open his mouth to say a few words.

But when he looked up, all he saw was the back of Lin Tian's head.

Then he saw Lin Tian had a quarrel with a group of people, and then he walked away without even looking at him.

just leave?
I'm still here! I haven't lost yet! It's only halftime! You're ignoring me?
Lin Tian: I swear, I didn’t mean to ignore you. I was just too happy and completely forgot about you.

There is a chance, there is a chance, Paul, you will definitely have a chance to spray back.

Well, I think so!
By the way, speaking of this, another thing that everyone has forgotten is Paul's performance.

Before Lin Tian came on the court to target him, he definitely played with the style and stability of the league's future No. 1 point guard.

But unfortunately, the current No. 1 in the league is not only not stable at all, but also crazy!
Not only did Lin Tian completely beat Paul on the offensive end, he also played at an incredible level on the defensive end.

In 6 minutes, Lin Tian forced Paul to make 4 of 0 shots and score no points, and also made 1 turnovers and only gave one assist!
His offense was completely blocked and he couldn't launch any attack at all, and on the defensive end he was beaten up by Lin Tian in the most humiliating way.

From any angle, Paul was pressed to the ground and given a good beating by Lin Tian.

The more serious problem is not that the Warriors are falling behind again, nor that Lin Tian is in great form.

The Warriors' biggest problem now is Paul's mentality.

He doesn't feel aggrieved now.

Nor is it anger.

It's not a shame, pain or anything like that.

What he feels now is fear and powerlessness!
He was like the scientists who discovered the end of physics in The Three-Body Problem; he also discovered something completely beyond his own cognition.

The huge gap in strength and the insurmountable talent gap.

Paul once thought that if he just worked a little harder and took one more step forward, he would be able to catch up with Lin Tian.

But now he suddenly realized that he might still be only one step away from Lin Tian, ​​but this step was more difficult than the one that took Armstrong to the moon!

After all, Armstrong has the technical support of an entire country!

And Paul was all alone.

You can never catch up with him, and you can never defeat him!
This idea was like a mental stamp, firmly nailed in Paul's mind.

If Paul cannot overcome this mental barrier, his future career will probably become mediocre.

……

In the second half of the game, players from both sides changed sides and started the game again.

Lin Tian looked at Paul with a smile on his face, but still didn't say any trash talk to him.

You chose it yourself!
Anyway, Lin Tian felt that Paul should be thankful.

I'm glad that I provoked Lin Tian during the regular season instead of the playoffs.

Otherwise, Paul would have a new, timeless nickname.

At the beginning of the second half, Paul was obviously unable to get over his inner demons, nor could he get over his fear of Lin Tian.

What Lin Tian did in the first half really destroyed his self-confidence completely.

Paul lost all his courage in the second half.

He became hesitant and no longer aggressive when facing Lin Tian. In the last minute of the first half, Lin Tian's suppression of him was really cruel.

Pick-and-roll, non-stop pick-and-roll. Whenever Paul sees Lin Tian, ​​his first reaction is to look for a pick-and-roll. Every time he attacks, he will try his best to find ways to keep Lin Tian away from him. If one pick-and-roll doesn't work, he'll use two. If two don't work, he'll use four. If four don't work, it'll be a 24-second violation.

Yes, under Paul's obvious fear and lack of confidence, the Warriors' offensive system became quite bad. Their tempo was so slow that it was like they were playing old man basketball. Their tactics could not be implemented and their system was no longer mature and rigorous.

The Warriors players are always running, looking for opportunities, and using pick-and-rolls to find the best time.

But in fact, when Paul became hesitant and when he was unable to break through the first layer of defense, the movement and efforts of other players seemed to be in vain.

After all, the only core and real foundation of the Warriors' starting players and the system they play is Paul's breakthrough.

If Paul cannot tear through the defense and change the opponent's defensive system, the Warriors' offense will not be able to play and will fall into stagnation and serious difficulties.

In the first half of the third quarter, the Warriors' offense completely collapsed. Not only did they have a bad rhythm and a very low shooting percentage, they even made three low-level mistakes such as 24-second violations!
3 times! Half a quarter! And against the Knicks!

That was the Knicks' defense! It was no different from no defense.

Let me put it this way, even if the Beixiaguan Primary School girls' basketball team faced the Knicks, they would not have three 3-second violations in half a quarter!
Anyway, the Warriors got blown out.

They were not far behind in the first half, but with 6 minutes left in the third quarter, they were already 21 points behind!

This was even after Aldridge exploded in the third quarter and made several unreasonable and magical shots.

If it weren't for his outburst, the Warriors would be at least 30 points behind by now!
What can we say about the current situation?

Lin Tian and the Knicks players and fans are excited!
On the night of the opening game and the raising of the championship banner, they once again had a commanding lead and were on the verge of another big win.

Delicious.

The Warriors fans and players were naturally in a gloomy mood. Everyone had a blank expression on their face, full of doubt and confusion.

They were full of confidence this season, but on the night of the opening game, they were beaten so badly that they began to doubt their lives.

In addition, fans far away in Charlotte were also furious.

Aldridge had already scored a big double-double of 3 points and 27 rebounds halfway through the third quarter tonight, becoming the Warriors' pillar. It is no exaggeration to say that he maintained the slight suspense of the game by himself!

And what does 27 points and 11 rebounds mean?
After the All-Star Game last season, Aldridge played a total of 14 times, with a total playing time of 58 minutes, scoring a total of 17 points and 8 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of less than 40%.

Although the Bobcats' regular season has not yet started, their eight preseason games have all ended.

球队重金换回、去年表现惊艳的泰勒斯·托马斯8场季前赛之中7场首发，上场时间从33分钟、30分钟一路快速下滑，最后两场比赛分别是首发出场15分钟以及替补出场9分钟。

His statistics also dropped from 5 points and 7 rebounds in the first game to 0 points and 2 rebounds in the last game.

Obviously, Brown's habit of disliking and using young people has come back again.

No matter whether it's Aldridge or Thomas, if you don't like it, just sit still.

Cultivate new players? Unless Jordan trades all the power forwards in the team, Brown will not have any patience for anyone.

But whether Thomas is really a fake or Brown's training method is not good.

In short, Charlotte fans are beginning to lose their patience.

This goes for Jordan, Brown, and the team.

As for Lin Tian, ​​if he knew that his actions had directly put Jordan into such an embarrassing and bad situation, he would definitely be very happy.

He even cheered Aldridge on and encouraged him to play well. (End of this chapter)
