NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, the Lakers players began a fast and orderly run. Kirilenko ran all the way to near the center circle and successfully got the basketball. He then raised the ball high and waited for Kobe to approach before handing the ball back to Kobe with a handoff.

After Kobe received the ball, all the Lakers players quickly spread out to the sides, giving Kobe ample space to attack. The Knicks players did the same, each finding their own defender and marking one by one without letting their guard down or leaving anyone open.

By this point in the game, any fatigue had long been forgotten.

Lin Tian took the initiative to face Kobe again, instead of standing at a distance and watching Kobe waste time.

There's so little time left! He needs to compress the Lakers' offensive space as much as possible, forcing them to make offensive decisions as quickly as possible.

Only in this way will the Knicks have enough time to make the final shot!
If the Lakers are pushed to the last second, even if they miss the shot, the time spent fighting for the rebound alone will be enough for the game to run out completely.

This time, Lin Tian's defense was more aggressive than ever before. He even slightly vacated his frontal defensive position, giving Kobe space and opportunities to break through.

He stood beside Kobe, preventing Kobe from easily holding the basketball and wasting time.

This desperate, all-or-nothing defense was making Kobe very uncomfortable! Under this kind of defense, Kobe's best option was definitely not to continue to press the clock, but to take advantage of Lin Tian's desperate defense and launch an attack as soon as possible!
FUXX! Damn!

Kobe was never one to hesitate. He didn't care that there were still 15 seconds left on the shot clock. He accelerated and passed by Lin Tian's side, starting to advance towards the Knicks' position.

When the rest of the Lakers saw Kobe start his attack, they stopped standing still and began running according to the tactics they had just been given.

When Kobe arrived at the top of the key, although Lin Tian immediately caught up with him, Durant and Kirilenko's screens were also in place!
In the blink of an eye, Kirilenko and Durant helped Kobe block Lin Tian.

Kobe then immediately accelerated and broke through, and Lin Tian was about to chase after Kobe when he noticed that Durant and Kirilenko's running directions were a bit strange.

These two are running in the same direction!

There are two possibilities for this kind of running: either the two players got carried away and forgot their tactical positioning, or the Lakers' strategy was to have one of them attack.

Lin Tian felt that it was most likely the latter!
"Change! Change! Gerald, Kobe!" Lin Tian shouted loudly, and Wallace quickly received the message and moved to block Kobe's path.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he and Anthony turned back to chase after Kirilenko and Durant.

Then Durant and Kirilenko suddenly set off a screen for each other off-ball and made a back cut, before separating again!

Anthony was blocked by Kirilenko, and Lin Tian continued to shout without hesitation, "Lock down AK!"

As for himself, he rushed to Durant's side at lightning speed.

At that moment, Kobe's pass arrived with perfect accuracy!

There's no time to change tactics!
If Kobe's reaction had been a little slower, and his pass had been a little slower, Lin Tian really wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity. Kobe would at least have had a chance to go one-on-one against Wallace.

But now, it's too late.

The moment Durant got the ball, he was met with Lin Tian's incredibly tough defense. The fierce physical contact caused Durant to lose his balance on the first touch, and he almost traveled.

Just as Durant was about to dribble, Lin Tian, ​​taking advantage of his height, lowered his body to block Durant's lower body.

Now, Durant wouldn't dare dribble anymore.
But if he doesn't dribble, he can't just pull up and shoot from this position.

To reiterate: Durant already possessed an excellent level of shooting in his rookie season, but he is far from evolving into the unstoppable Grim Reaper who can pull up and shoot anytime, anywhere.

He's too inexperienced!
Lin Tian's close defense made it difficult for Durant to even stand, let alone launch an attack. At this moment, Durant's first thought was to pass the ball out as soon as possible. He knew that he could not beat Lin Tian one-on-one, at least not in this situation where both sides were stationary.

Pass the ball! Where are my teammates? Come and get me!

Durant's fear and worry were practically written all over his face at this moment, and he anxiously turned around to look for his teammates.

Finally, Kirilenko appeared just in time, running towards Durant while reaching out for the ball.

Durant felt like he'd been granted a pardon. He raised his hand to pass the ball back to Kirilenko, but just as he lifted the ball, he felt a tremendous force strike the ball in his hand.

Lin Tian's slap was quick, ruthless, and accurate, forcibly snatching the basketball from Durant's hands!

Then Lin Tian grabbed the basketball and glanced at the time.

There are only 7 seconds left!
It's not too late!
Lin Tian immediately accelerated towards the frontcourt and launched a counterattack. Even though the Lakers players encountered such a sudden change, they still chased back as a whole team, trying to stop Lin Tian's fast break. Kirilenko was the first to step up and did his best to block him and make Lin Tian stop.

he made it!

At the very least, Lin Tian made him do it!
After driving all the way to the Lakers' three-point line, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and signaled to his teammates to take their positions, telling them not to rush.

But the problem is, Lin Tian only stopped for that short moment!
It was all a feint!
He simply paused, gestured for his teammates to take their positions, and then went back into attack mode!

With a sharp crossover, Lin Tian shook off Kirilenko, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had time to regain his footing. He dribbled with his left hand and, in the blink of an eye, drove straight into the Lakers' interior from the wing!

The speed of that attack was so fast, it was like an incredibly sharp dagger, mercilessly stabbing into the Lakers' vital heart!
Fortunately, this was a basketball game, so the next sound wasn't the 'thud' of a dagger piercing flesh.

The next sound was the muffled thud of Lin Tian colliding directly with Bynum in mid-air.

"Oh!"

Bynum, who had run back to the basket with all his might, once again failed to get a foothold and jump. This time, he didn't even have time to turn around before Lin Tian rode on his shoulders from behind.

"boom!"

Then, with an incredibly loud bang, Lin Tian completed another dunk!
No, it's a straddle buckle!
Lin Tian once again rode Bynum and completed an incredibly brutal dunk!

They've overtaken them!
The Knicks have taken the lead!
122: 121!

The Knicks lead the Lakers by 1 point!
After this dunk, Lin Tian left the Lakers with only 0.2 seconds left!
The Knicks' first score in this game was Lin Tian's dunk over Bynum!

The Knicks' last score in this game came when Lin Tian dunked over Bynum!
The beginning and end echo each other!

"What did I say, Andrew?" After Lin Tian's game-winning dunk, he landed lightly and looked at Bynum, who was still completely stunned, saying, "We're not done with that yet! I hold grudges!"

"You should be glad now that I'm retiring."

"Serve! Serve!" While Lin Tian was trash-talking Bynum, Kobe was already jumping up and down in frustration. He shouted loudly to remind the still somewhat bewildered Bynum to serve the ball quickly.

The Lakers have no timeouts left; they must inbound the ball from the baseline and shoot with 0.2 seconds remaining.

If they hit the target, they can turn the game around and win.

This is their only chance.

But clearly, this is a task that is almost impossible to complete.

Especially after Bynum hesitated for a moment, was stunned by Lin Tian's dunk, and wasted about 3-4 seconds before picking up the basketball and standing outside the baseline, the Lakers' chances became even slimmer.

Because the Knicks players had already seized this fleeting opportunity to find their matchups and complete man-to-man defense.

In just 0.2 seconds, you have to get past the defense to receive the ball, shoot after receiving the ball, and make the shot.

Perhaps someone in this alliance can accomplish this.

But tonight's Lakers are absolutely not going to win!

Bynum's almost desperate pass didn't even reach the Lakers players; the ball was intercepted by Wallace in mid-air, and then the final 0.2 seconds quickly came to an end.

The game is over!

Lin Tian once again incredibly saved the game! He saved the Knicks!
The Knicks defeated the Lakers in what was their toughest and most difficult game of the remainder of the regular season this year!
Won!

As Wallace made the steal, the entire Knicks team cheered and celebrated. Everyone rushed towards Lin Tian, ​​surrounded him, and roared and celebrated, releasing their joy and excitement to the fullest!

This is our leader! This is Lin! This is the best player in the league! This is the greatest player of all time!
A man who turns the impossible into the possible!
A man who can always save the team in desperate situations! Tonight, Lin Tian went on a scoring spree, racking up a triple-double of 51 points, 14 rebounds, and 16 assists. In the fourth quarter, he repeatedly saved the team, including his five consecutive points in the final minute and his initiative in creating opportunities for his teammates. This game became another masterpiece in Lin Tian's career!

除了林天之外，安东尼拿下37分5篮板3助攻，小斯22分13篮板，奥库也有14分入账！
This was another classic Knicks victory.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant put up an all-around performance with 44 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, but it wasn't enough to save the team, which suffered a defeat.

Durant scored 30 points, including a five-point run that nearly secured the victory for his team, but a late mistake cost them the win.

另外，拜纳姆拿下17分17篮板4盖帽的大号两双，全能战士基里连科13分11篮板5助攻3抢断3盖帽，也是继续着自己全能无比的表现！
That night, both the Lakers and the Knicks played their best and were in top form. Both veterans and young players showed their energy.

This game truly lived up to its reputation as the Knicks' toughest battle on their road to victory.

It's absolutely worth the ticket price and all the anticipation!

Of course, there were also the tributes before the game, the surprises prepared by Lakers legends, and the touching presence of Lin Tian's mentor.

All of this deserves to be mentioned in this match.

Or rather, if it weren't for such a wonderful match, it wouldn't deserve such a series of touching and memorable pre-match notes and preparations.

Fortunately, the Knicks and Lakers players played their hearts out together, preventing the night from ending in a disappointing fashion.

After the match, Lin Tian appeared at the press conference once again.

Lin Tian, ​​who scored the winning goal and maintained the team's winning streak, was obviously very happy, grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the reporters.

"Congratulations on winning an incredibly tough match. Your performance tonight was flawless. Lin, tell us about your feelings about this match."

“I think we should talk about something more important, so let’s not waste time here. You can get straight to the point. I have things to do tonight, and my lovely daughter and Charlize are waiting for me at home.”

"So we only have 5 minutes, let's not waste any more time!"

Lin Tian's words made the reporters below understand the implication perfectly.

This smells like trouble! Lin Tian's words mean they can ask him anything tonight!

"Everyone says this game will be the toughest one on your path to breaking the NBA regular season record. What do you think? After winning this game, are you confident that you will finish with a perfect record and become the team with the most regular season wins in history?"

"This game was tough, not just because the Lakers are strong, but also because it was our fourth game in a few days. This was the second game of our second back-to-back. This stretch of the season has been a nightmare. We were all exhausted."

"But winning this game has greatly boosted our confidence. We now believe, and are 100% certain, that we can win the remaining games with a perfect record!"

"Our goal is to become the team with the most wins in the regular season!"

"Aren't you afraid of becoming the target of other teams by saying that, Lin?"

"When have I ever not been the target of everyone's criticism? When have I ever not been targeted? I've been targeted for the past 10 years, but they can only target me; they can't do anything about it, can they?"

"According to you, you will play hard at the end of the regular season, taking every game to heart in order to win every game. At this point in the season, are you worried that this will make you too tired and unable to perform well in the playoffs?"

"We have plenty of energy. I'm the only old man on our team; the rest are young. And I've played very little throughout the season, so we don't have to worry about stamina or injuries at all."

"Now is the best time for us to adapt to the game, change our rotation, and get into playoff mode! We will get into shape early and maintain that shape until June!"

"What if you overwork yourself and get injured as a result?"

“Then let’s just skip all the games and start resting everyone right at the beginning of the season,” Lin Tian shrugged. “In this long season, injuries can happen at any moment, and we can win or lose every game.”

"If you're afraid of getting injured, you won't play; if you're afraid of losing, you'll just rest. In that case, we might as well just take our salaries and not play a single game, and take a break for the entire season."

That's not what we meant.

"That's what you mean."

Lin Tian retorted without backing down, "If any of us get injured, you'll gloat. If we don't perform well in the playoffs, you'll definitely gloat too. If we lose the championship, you'll say it's because we played too aggressively in these few games and reached our peak too early, which is why we lost."

"Right? You've been waiting for this day!"

"And what I want to say is: we are also waiting for that day. We are waiting for the day we win the championship. We are waiting for the day we win the championship with the best record in the regular season! I believe that day will be absolutely perfect!"

"And most importantly, whether we win the championship this season or not has absolutely nothing to do with the last 10 or so games of the season. The two are not in conflict at all! Do you understand?"

"So Lin, which do you think is more important, being the all-time leader in regular season history or winning the championship?"

"They are all important."

"If you absolutely had to choose one, what would you do?"

"I won't choose. Why should I choose? Only children make choices. Adults want it all!"

"But if it's fate, if God ordained that you can only choose one, and can only have one, which one would you choose?"

"You force me to choose?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and snorted, "Then I'll choose to beat up God and shut this old bastard up. I don't want to choose, I want it all!"

"if……"

"There are no 'what ifs' in life! My life has no 'what ifs'! My life is all about wanting it all!"

"The championship is mine, and the all-time best regular season record is mine too! I will get them all, I will get them all at the same time."

"What if you can't get it?"

"Didn't I say? There are no 'what ifs.' I won't consider these things. Anyway, if you ask me, I'll say I can definitely do it. If you say I can't, then wait until I really can't do it before asking me again. Until then, I'm sorry, I have no comment!"

"One last question, Lin, the last one!" Seeing that Lin Tian had already stood up to leave, the reporters quickly pressed on, asking the last question they wanted to get that night.

"Which team do you think is the strongest in NBA history? Is it the Bulls you played for, the 75-win Pacers, or this year's Knicks?"

"That's a good question! I think you could try to put these three teams together and have them compete in a real series, and see who survives to the end!"

"But that can't happen!"

"Then you shouldn't have asked that question!"

"But we're curious what you think?"

"I know, but I'm also very curious. I want to see what it would be like for these three teams to play together. The best way to find out is, of course, to get those teams together for a series."

"Why are you asking me?"

"What we mean is, if..."

"As I just said, there are no ifs! Only when things become a reality, only when the three teams get together and start playing, can I tell you who is stronger."

"But you just said that you would win all the remaining regular season games and win the championship, which didn't happen, yet you made a definitive statement about them. Why can't you make a definitive statement about something else that didn't happen and give us a guess?"

Listening to the reporter's monotonous, rhyming lines, Lin Tian was too lazy to say anything more to him.

Since you asked, I'll give you an answer!

"I will be the winner, I will be the final victor!"

"Alright, that's enough. You've asked enough questions already. See you next time, unless you want me to get a beating from lovely Claire!" (End of Chapter)
