NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Kobe believed he had done his best!

From the toughness and intensity of his defense, to the perfect amount of physical contact, to the appropriate anticipation, guessing, observation and reaction, Kobe believed that no one in the world could do it better than him!
But he still lost Lin Tian!
He still couldn't stop Lin Tian's breakthrough!

Lin Tian didn't make any feints, and there wasn't even any hesitation or transition in his dribbling.

It was as if he had no intention of moving to the right or breaking through in that direction at all.

He accelerated directly from the left, leaving Kobe behind.

In the eyes of the fans, this goal was even more fantastical.

Because they watched as Lin Tian accelerated, and then Kobe moved aside, giving Lin Tian a huge amount of space to break through!
Unbelievable! It's downright outrageous!
Lin Tian, ​​who had just blown past Kobe, showed no sign of slowing down and continued to accelerate toward the flank!
Billups and Paul are both old rivals of Lin Tian. They both know that Lin Tian will definitely not choose to pass the ball at this time, and he will definitely not choose to score 2 points!
Three points! He will absolutely seal the game with a three-pointer!
So the two of them rushed toward the three-point line at the same time without any hesitation!

They're double-teaming him! They're trying to stop Lin Tian from making a move!

What if I give it to someone else?

If you give it to us, then so be it! We'll accept it!

My final bottom line: It absolutely cannot be you!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball quickly to the 45-degree angle on the wing. He suddenly stopped, looked up at the basket, hesitated, bent his legs, and then, just as Billups and Paul stopped to block him, he bent down again and accelerated, sprinting towards the baseline!

This time, even James rushed over!
The Western Army thoroughly implemented this idea.

We can lose the game! But we absolutely cannot be defeated by Lin Tian!

Despite James's sudden and relentless pursuit, Lin Tian still chose not to pass the ball!

He suddenly stopped again, then slapped the ball hard with his left hand, and turned around in one smooth motion, heading towards the top line.

But this was only half a turn!

Because Lin Tian noticed that Billups, who had just logged on, had already caught up!

As for Paul and Kobe, they weren't that crazy after all. Instead of double-teaming Lin Tianshang with four players, they turned around and chased after Anthony and Wade, who had been left out.

Of course, more importantly, given Lin Tian's position, even if the two of them came, they wouldn't be able to secure a defensive position at all.

There are too many people and the space is too small; there's simply not enough room to stand!

For Lin Tian, ​​having several people defending him was never a problem!
He doesn't care about that!

Lin Tian turned back towards James once again, successfully distancing himself from Billups. James never expected Lin Tian to react so quickly. He thought Lin Tian would turn directly towards Billups, so he moved to block Lin Tian.

Lin Tian easily fooled these two people with a feint and a turn!
When Lin Tian faced the basket again, James and Billups were at least half a meter away from him. Even if they desperately rushed towards Lin Tian to block and interfere with his shot, it was too late.

Moreover, after turning around, Lin Tian didn't just pull up and shoot. He took another step towards the baseline, then floated and jumped before finally throwing the ball!

You can't touch it at all! It doesn't interfere with it at all!

This is the problem Billups and James are facing right now. Lin Tian's double spin move is too fast and too sudden. They simply can't catch up. Now they are trying their best to jump and block, but more importantly, they are doing their best and leaving the rest to fate, while also putting some pressure on Lin Tian.

But clearly, Lin Tian had no time for his two opponents who were defending him with all their might; all he could see was the basket! And the timer!
"Buzz!"

The clock struck midnight before the basketball even went into the basket, signaling the end of the game. This shot, regardless of the circumstances, was the final play! It was Lin Tian's final strike!
Then, before the fans in the stadium started cheering, Lin Tian was the first to raise his arms and enter the celebration mode.

"Shh!"

A crisp sound rang out precisely on time, and Lin Tian's almost one-on-four drifting three-pointer went in at the buzzer!

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"In!"

"Lin! Lin! He hit the game-winner! He hit the game-winner again! On the All-Star stage, facing the Western Conference stars' relentless attacks and defense, Lin hit the game-winner once again!"

"The East team reversed a deficit of more than 20 points, they successfully overtook them, and successfully reversed the game! The East team has won the game! Lin did it again! He did it!"

"An incredible game! A night I'll never forget! I would call this the most exciting All-Star game I've ever seen! From the very first second, both sides were playing like their lives depended on it!"

"For a full 48 minutes, not a single minute was spent relaxing or slacking off by either side; they all gave it their all! The Eastern team was chasing the entire game, and after losing the initial advantage, they relied on Lin Tian and the team's united efforts to tie the score in the last minute!"

"Then, they delivered the decisive blow in the final second of the match!"

"Let's remember this night! Let's remember Lin! Remember his last performance in the All-Star Game! Let's remember the perfect him! He was unbelievably strong."

“45分7篮板15助攻3抢断3盖帽！其中第四节林单节14投11中，拿下32分！这个晚上的林根本无法阻挡，尤其是在第四节的比赛中，他再一次天神下凡！”

“3分线外连续转身，先后甩开4人防守，最后飘移命中压哨3分！这一球会在未来50年之中的每一次全明星赛上一次次回放！会在未来50年的每一次决杀盘点时出现！”

"This is Lin's moment! This night belongs to Lin! To Lin's fans! To all of them!"

The commentators unleashed their excitement and shock, the fans raised their arms and roared, just like when Lin Tian was still playing here, and the legends on the sidelines also roared with joy, enjoying this wonderful moment.

The entire East team's players rushed out from the benches and various positions on the court, pouncing on Lin Tian and surrounding him in the middle.

That was a truly spectacular game-winning shot!

These stars forgot everything else; all they remembered was that these were their teammates, that their team would win the game tonight, and that they had triumphed tonight!

that's enough!
we won!

The frenzied celebrations and shouts lasted for more than a minute before gradually subsiding, and the excitement and exhilaration in everyone's hearts slowly calmed down.

Only then did the Western Conference players finally have the opportunity to go up and shake hands and hug Lin Tian to congratulate him.

"You won tonight, see you in the Finals!" Kobe was the first to step forward, hugged Lin Tian, ​​and, as usual, uttered some harsh words.

"You're still talking about the finals? What happened? Did you find Tracy a pair of titanium kneecaps or Kevin a secret drug that can make him gain 10kg of muscle in a month? Or is Andrei really going to be able to take to the court with an AK47?"

"If none of that works, then what are you even talking about in the finals? Get past the first round first!"

"Congratulations Lin, see you in the Finals!" Then Garnett came over, and like Kobe, he gave him a hug, a high-five, and some tough talk—a three-in-one service.

"The tenth seed in the West shouldn't even be talking about making the Finals. You guys are even worse than Kobe. You'd get to the playoffs first, okay, baby?"

"Congratulations Lin, but the season isn't over yet. See you in the Finals!" James also delivered a three-piece set.

"You... okay, maybe, we'll see." Lin Tian was getting a little impatient. No, guys, tell me something new.

Then Lin Tian saw the few people still queuing up behind James, ready to come over, and waved his hand and shouted: "Alright, I'll see you all in the Finals! I'll see you all in the Finals!"

"We've been waiting for you guys! You'd better step up your game and don't let me down!" After saying that, Lin Tian turned around and said to the group of players from the Eastern team beside him, "I'm not looking down on you. See you in the playoffs. If you're capable, you can keep me out of the finals."

"We'll see, we'll see!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he quickly left, too lazy to waste any more words with those guys.

A bunch of guys who talk tough all the time, who don't respect anyone and are like honey badger. Lin Tian could handle one of them, but these 20 are a real problem for him.

Especially if you're strong enough, ranking among the top teams in the East or West, or a top powerhouse in the league, like the Spurs, Nuggets, or Celtics, then you can make tough statements.

Even if Garnett is tenth in the West, he can still make tough statements about fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot, since the Western Conference rankings are very unstable and could change drastically overnight.

But you, Iverson, have led your team to 13th in the East, aiming for Rose and Beasley. You should let me, Lin, be careful.
How can I be careful?

Be careful, or you might not get the top scholar's pick and then come at me with a knife.

That's a waste of time!
Therefore, Lin Tian wisely chose to run away.

He first went to TNT's live broadcast booth, chatted casually with the four commentators, and then went to the audience to interact, chat, sign autographs, and take photos with several fans he was somewhat familiar with.

Then, without forgetting to take off his jersey, shoes, knee pads, arm guards, and finger guards, Lin Tian gave away everything he could, except for his socks which he was too embarrassed to give away and his underwear which he had left on his body after taking off his shorts. Lin Tian was all about generosity!
"Have a good time tonight? I'll give you whatever I can." However, when Lin Tian keenly noticed that several older women in the front row were looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, and were clearly staring at his socks as if they wanted to take those used items away, Lin Tian chickened out.

This place is no place to stay any longer, let's get out of here!
Fortunately, the NBA staff had already completed the temporary setup of the podium, and Stern and a large number of league staff, reporters, and photographers had arrived on the podium.

Next up was the awards ceremony.

One of the most predictable All-Star MVPs in history is about to be revealed!

This time, Stern finally refrained from forcing suspense, dragging out the runtime, or padding the word count. Instead, he quickly thanked everyone and then announced directly, "This year's All-Star Game MVP is Lin Tian!"

When the name that everyone expected was announced, the crowd erupted in the wildest cheers and shouts! This is what the fans are watching tonight! They're here to see Lin Tian lift the trophy in Indiana once again!
Meanwhile, the players on the scene applauded, and taking this opportunity, a group of them reached out and started to rub and pinch Lin Tian's body!
Lin Tian even felt that some bastard took the opportunity to twist his waist with all his might.

Don't let me see who it is! Otherwise, I'll kill you sooner or later!

Lin Tian cursed and swore, clutching the flesh on his waist that had been pinched, and quickly left the place of trouble.

He felt that if he didn't hurry up, these people would definitely take their act seriously and wouldn't be satisfied until they found a way to pin him to the ground and beat him up during the celebration.

Although Lin Tian was confident that he could crush these people and turn the tables, it was the All-Star Game, broadcast live globally, with potentially hundreds of millions of viewers. A live brawl seemed a bit inappropriate.

So Lin Tian, ​​unusually, chose to back down and went up to the podium to take his own trophy.

But unexpectedly, even at this point, Stern suddenly started upsetting people again.

The old man chuckled and said, "I haven't invited our award presenter for tonight yet! He hasn't appeared in public for a long time; he's been keeping a low profile for a long time!"

"He came all the way to Indiana today for you, for tonight's MVP award, without telling anyone."

Stern's words aroused the curiosity of many people.

Who? Who would come to present Lin Tian with an award at this time?
And who is the special guest, and who has the status to hide away and wait until the final awards ceremony to come out?
"Let's welcome the former NBA superstar, six-time champion, Chicago Bulls legend, and now the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats."

"Michael Jordan!"

Stern paused noticeably when he mentioned the last name.

Then, after adding a little more suspense, the name was finally called out.

Before Lin Tian, ​​he was the most popular NBA player in the world; before Lin Tian, ​​he was the undisputed king and number one in the NBA.

Before Lin Tian, ​​he was the NBA's highest scorer, most championship winner, most MVP, scoring champion, and record-breaker.

Of course, he is also recognized as Lin Tian's best friend and teammate in the NBA, as well as one of Lin Tian's biggest enemies.

Jordan walked into the arena with a smile, waving to everyone. It had been a long time since we'd seen him, and he had clearly gained weight, no longer resembling a top athlete.

But gaining weight has also made this guy, who used to be so menacing and sharp, look a bit more approachable.

"Congratulations, Lin! Congratulations on your last All-Star game, you delivered a perfect performance, you deserve all of this!" Jordan took the trophy from Stern, then turned and handed it to Lin Tian, ​​who was standing right next to him: "You are the best in this league!"

At this moment, Jordan finally officially acknowledged it in an official setting.

It's best to acknowledge that Lin is a genius!

But Lin Tian clearly had no intention of letting Jordan off the hook so easily.

Lin Da Guanren is neither a good person nor a positive character.

"Is he the strongest currently active or the strongest in history?" Lin Tian said that he is a very meticulous person.

When he asked that question, Lin Tian could feel the air freeze.

Even Stern, who always had a smile on his face, was stunned.

Young man, you have no sportsmanship!

Jordan himself came to the event to support you and declared you the greatest of all time. This level of recognition is absolutely generous and incredibly well-deserved.

What about you?

Was the information you gave to that person who was pestering you accurate?

Why do you have to be so ruthless, leaving no way out for anyone?
Of course, the air seemed to freeze, mainly because most people didn't expect Lin Tian to be so brave!

But the moment froze, and for the next while, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere and aroma.

Exciting! Awesome! No wonder it's Lin!

That was everyone's first thought.

Get him! Get that bastard! Beat him to a pulp! Give him the cold shoulder! Make him look bad!

This was everyone's second thought.

They all hoped that Jordan and Lin Tian could really smash their brains out!
Don't hold back, Michael! You're our childhood idol and role model, so charge forward! We'll all cheer you on and be your henchmen!

Players were cheering for Jordan in their hearts, but the result disappointed them all.

After an initial shock, stunned silence, and a fleeting urge to punch someone, Jordan laughed again: "Whether you're active or historically, you're one of the most deserving of a beating in all of human history!"

"I already regret coming here to give you this award. I shouldn't have joined this fun. You bastard, you should have died in the sewers. I never want to say another word to you in my life!"

"But you haven't answered my question yet." After Jordan's furious outburst, Lin Tian added with a wicked grin.

Hey, you think you can just swear a few times, change the subject, and then get away with it? Dream on!

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

This matter cannot be resolved.

The air froze once again.

Even the players who were just watching the spectacle felt that Lin Tian had gone a bit too far.

Don't hit someone in the face, don't curse someone's mother, isn't that the rule?

Why are you attacking Jordan's face so relentlessly, Mr. Lin?

"You! The greatest of all time!" This time, Jordan finally understood that unless he quit or walked away, he wouldn't get past this hurdle. He couldn't just try to get by.

In other words, Jordan is now in his late 40s, almost 50, and as his weight increases, so does his cunning.

After being bullied by Lin Tian twice, this guy actually gave in. He spoke slowly and deliberately, filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and finally said that Lin Tian was the greatest in history.

This is now a done deal, a final and definitive conclusion.

What could be more telling about fate than the former GOAT's admission?

"Alright Lin, stop asking Michael. Talk about yourself! You won the All-Star MVP, what else do you want to say? What do you want to share with everyone?" Stern finally stepped forward at this moment, interrupting the two of them.

He was genuinely afraid that Lin Tian would ask some more infuriating questions that would completely enrage Jordan.

No need, honey! Really, no need!
It's the All-Star Game, everyone's watching, so have some decency.

Fortunately, this time, Lin Tian finally stopped bullying Jordan and said with a smile, "Then, after such a perfect night, let's enjoy this perfect season together!"

"I believe this season will be extraordinary!" (End of Chapter)
