NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

But it was at this moment that both sides began their rotation.

Don Nelson brought Lin Tian and Okur back onto the court, while the Spurs brought Francis and Martin back onto the court.

As for James and Bosh, needless to say, Popovich's plan is the same as the strategy used by teams like the Cavaliers and Celtics against the Knicks.

If you want to win, then the core players absolutely cannot think about resting.

Fight to the death, fight until you run out of ammunition and supplies—that's the only way to think and do it.

There's nothing we can do about it; the Knicks have Gundam.
On the first offensive play after returning to the court, Lin Tian quickly waved his hand, signaling Okur to come forward and set a screen for him.

After a quick exchange, Okur habitually bounced to the three-point line, while Lin Tian lowered his head and charged towards the inside. After attracting a lot of the Spurs' defensive attention at the edge of the three-second zone, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and launched a counterattack.

The ball was passed to the three-point line.

Okur received the ball and immediately pulled up for the shot, but just as he was about to shoot, James' help defense arrived at lightning speed. This guy's physical attributes are truly amazing; he can cover a distance of several meters in just two steps. If Okur forces a shot, it will definitely be a bloody block!
"Memet!" At the crucial moment, Lin Tian's voice appeared like a savior's chant, and Okur instinctively threw the ball in the direction from which the voice came.

Lin Tian!

After passing the ball, he immediately started sprinting, and just when Okur was cornered, he broke out again beyond the three-point line.

At the same time, he turned around as he received the ball, then gathered the ball and jumped, all in one smooth motion!
Raise both hands high, then flick your wrists gently.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian made a precise three-pointer on a reverse run! The Knicks regained a one-point lead.

"What are you looking at! Never seen a three-pointer before?" After landing, Lin Tian saw James glaring at him and immediately started mocking him.

"You're just lucky! You can't make every shot!" James glared at Lin Tian, ​​but his trash talk was weak and ineffective.

“Go look at the big screen, LeBron! Look at the big screen, and you’ll never say that again! This round is enough to show the huge difference between us.” Lin Tian shrugged and casually pointed to the big screen on the ceiling.

James instinctively looked up, wanting to see what was going on.

Then he realized he'd been tricked.

The video above shows the exact moment Lin Tian made that play, from running to receiving the ball to stopping abruptly and releasing the shot!
"Isn't it beautiful? Aren't you envious? Look at that straight body, look at that perfect hand shape, and look at that textbook wrist press and the cool landing posture."

"In your entire life, even just once, can you score a goal with such a cool pose?"

"Being handsome won't put food on the table! Being handsome won't help people win! The most important thing in basketball is putting the ball in the basket!"

James lowered his head, no longer looking at Lin Tian's beautiful catch and shot, and instead offered a weak rebuttal.

Actually, when he uttered those words, he had already guessed what Lin Tian would say in response.

But James had no choice; he couldn't just shut up and admit defeat, could he? Especially since he really couldn't say anything else to retort.

"Who says you can't put food on the table? Look at my resume! All of this is thanks to my good looks!" Lin Tian had already retreated to the three-point line, stood firmly on his feet, and said with great pride, "You know what? Being handsome! It makes my life go smoothly!"

"You will never experience the charm and power of this word in your entire life! You can only obtain these things with money."

"Even plastic surgery can't save you! Your hairline alone would drive hair transplant surgeons all over the world crazy!"

"FUXX!" James cursed, "All those honors you got because you're handsome? Who would believe your nonsense! All those achievements of yours, like championships, MVPs, scoring titles, and All-NBA selections, were they because you're handsome?"

"Oh, you mean those? Those aren't achievements or honors. They were just something I picked up casually, completely incidental." Lin Tian waved his hand casually, as if all honors were fleeting and not worth mentioning at all.

"But my biggest shoe contract in history, 10 consecutive NBA All-Star vote leader, countless sky-high endorsements, several Laureus Awards, the most commercially valuable player in history, and countless dollars and fans I've earned since entering the industry."

"These are all about being handsome."

"Of course, there are actually two kinds of handsome: 1. handsome in appearance; 2. handsome in playing basketball."

"LeBron, what makes you handsome?"

"Of course, it's the back view that's handsome!" Anthony had been waiting for a while, and now that he finally got his chance, he came over and added insult to injury.

"I don't even think he's handsome from behind," Xiao Si mocked. "Such a big head, and his whole body is just lumps of flesh, like a baboon, how is that handsome?"

James's blood was pumping as the three guys chatted back and forth. Then, he suddenly made a head-turning fake move, making people think he was going to cut to the outside to get the ball. Then, he quickly turned around, accelerated, and rushed towards the basket.

This sudden back cut was indeed lightning fast. Anthony, who is not good at defense and was a bit distracted, couldn't keep up. Even though he was running at full speed, James' physical ability made it extremely difficult for him to catch up after being outpaced.

Francis's pass was perfectly timed. He tossed the basketball into the air from halfway across the court, and James leaped high, caught the ball in mid-air, and slammed it into the basket!

"boom!"

"Do you know what cool is?" After James dunked, his mouth was agape, his eyes were wide, his nostrils were flaring with anger, and his expression was incredibly fierce!
"I knew it before, but after seeing you like this, I'm not sure anymore." Lin Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"It's normal for you not to understand, boss. He's considered handsome among baboons, but not so good among apes. He's barely average, and by human standards..."

"Melo, you can't compare him to a human. We're different species, and our aesthetics are different too. How can you be sure that LeBron isn't handsome among gorillas?" Stoudemire leaned over and continued to add insult to injury with his cheeky tone.

"You dare say that word to me! You dare say that to me?" James suddenly glared at Lin Tian and roared, "Lin! I don't care who you are or what your status is in the NBA, you've crossed the line!"

"I'll say that my foot! I didn't say a word, and those two bastards were cursing me." Lin Tian was also getting anxious. What the hell is this version? They're just trying to frame me, aren't they!

Slander! Policeman, he's slandering me!
"You taught him this!" James gritted his teeth, having decided to unleash all his anger on Lin Tian!
This will not only make him more aggressive, but also help him play more aggressively! It will make his playing style more brutal and resolute!

This is what he needs at this stage.

If you make him argue with three or four jerks at the same time, he'll definitely be so overwhelmed that he'll question his existence and feel dizzy.

So we'll just target Lin Tian alone, and you alone!
I refuse to believe I can't beat you tonight!
"Tonight, we'll fight to the death!"

"We won't lose! I'll hold you down, Lin, I'll kill you!"

"Your myth will be shattered tonight, after this series! I said it!"

Full of resentment, James unleashed a torrent of abuse at Lin Tian before standing beside Anthony and continuing to battle him.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he was left to be defended by Francis.

This kind of pairing is actually quite acceptable.

Even if James does go to guard Lin Tian, ​​what about Anthony?
Should JR go or Francis go?

Given Anthony's current skill level and his door-sized physique and height, he could probably kill JR Smith and Steve Francis. However, even if Francis didn't have to guard Anthony, he wouldn't fare well against Lin Tian either.

His once-proud speed and jumping ability have long been worn away by time and injuries, but Lin Tian, ​​who debuted earlier than him, still has terrifying speed and jumping ability. It seems that time really is avoiding Lin Tian.

It's not fair!

Really not reconciled!
Why do injuries always seem to plague me, while bastards like Lin Tian are ignored?
His fighting style is clearly more violent than anyone else's, and he should be more prone to injury than anyone else.

In other words, Francis only thought these words in his heart and did not say them out loud. Otherwise, if he had actually said them, Lin Tian could have broken his defenses with just one sentence.

"Even if you weren't injured and your physical condition and technical ability were at their peak, wouldn't I still beat you every time I saw you?"

"Don't attribute your inferiority to me, Master Lin, to injuries and bad luck! That's just self-aggrandizement. You're not even at the level to compete with Master Lin in terms of luck and injuries!"

"Not even close!"

Francis only thought these words to himself, which saved him from being completely overwhelmed by Lin Tian's two sentences, but that was all.

In terms of his defensive ability, he was basically in a state of 'being breached' in front of Lin Tian.

Lin Tian only needed the simplest basic attack to completely break through Francis's defense.

How can someone who is not good at defense and has been suffering from multiple injuries and is on the decline defend against a monster who is the league's top, fastest and most skilled offensive player?
There's only one answer: it's unstoppable!
"Whoosh!" Francis could only feel the sound of wind passing by his ear before he realized that Lin Tian had already passed by him!
At this moment, Francis even wondered if he had been too playful in junior high school, which led him to misunderstand the lesson and misremember the key points during physics class.

Sound must be faster than the speed of light!

Otherwise, why would I hear Lin Tian breaking through the air first, and then find that he has disappeared in front of me and appeared behind me?
Doesn't this prove that the speed of sound is faster than the speed of light?
Francis's limited brain was clearly insufficient to find the answer to this ultimate physics problem in the blink of an eye, but his speed was also insufficient to catch up with Lin Tian and complete the defense.

So at this moment, Francis's state seemed somewhat comical. He stood there, staring blankly as Lin Tian rushed into the paint and then fully extended his body in mid-air, looking like he was about to dunk over Martin with a tomahawk dunk.

But after Martin jumped to defend, Lin Tian suddenly pulled the ball back into his arms, curled up into a ball in a flash, dodged Martin in mid-air, and then stretched out his body again. With a gentle flick of his left hand, the basketball obediently went into the basket!
"Shh!"

"Beautiful! An absolutely brilliant layup!" Kenny's shout rang out again, filled with excitement. "If James's shot was the ultimate in powerful and violent aesthetics, then Lin's shot was an incredibly elegant and almost romantic graceful movement!"

"These two completely different extremes of beauty were shown to us in just one minute! It was truly breathtaking, a competition that made you jump and cheer again and again!"

“You’re right, Kenny,” Barkley interjected. “Judging from these two shots alone, one was extremely violent, and the other was extremely elegant. Based on this one shot alone, these two players should be evenly matched.”

"But the problem is, LeBron can only use violence. You can't get him to use the kind of elegant style that Lin uses, and Lin..."

"He has contributed far more moments of violent aesthetics in his life than LeBron!"

“If LeBron’s physical abilities are at the peak of human potential,” Payton suddenly said, “then Lin’s physical abilities surpass even the highest level of human potential.”

"There is an insurmountable gap between humans and monsters."

On the field, Lin Tian, ​​whom Payton called a 'monster', once again showed everyone why he was a monster.

Of course, James also took the opportunity to break away from Anthony with an incredibly swift drive, then leaped high and smashed the rim with a powerful shot that clearly put his head above the basket, demonstrating why he is at the peak level of a normal human being.

The Knicks had possession of the ball. Lin Tian faced off against Francis beyond the three-point line, and after two consecutive crossover dribbles, he suddenly accelerated and broke through.

This time, Francis made an incredible timely sidestep, blocking Lin Tian's path.

But then Lin Tian dribbled between his legs and back, stepping back beyond the three-point line once again.

The sudden start and stop was so fast that it left a blur, and Francis, who was closest to him, clearly saw how low Lin Tian lowered his center of gravity to pull himself back, and how his sneakers deformed horribly in an instant.

"These AND1 sneakers are really good quality, they didn't even burst!"

At this moment, Francis wasn't thinking about how fast Lin Tian's shot and pull-back were; instead, he was thinking about something completely unrelated and inexplicable.

But it's not Francis's fault. After all, he was no longer able to defend against Lin Tian. The pull-back was too fast, and Francis had been going all out when he moved laterally. So he fell to his knees and was fooled by Lin Tian's accelerated breakthrough and pull-back!
After Lin Tian pulled back to the three-point line, an even more insane scene unfolded. He didn't shoot, nor did he stop to steady himself. Instead, he suddenly accelerated again, as if the previous two shots had never happened. The physical principles of reaction force and inertia once again failed to apply to Lin Tian.

Once again, he defied all the laws of physics and drove into the paint!

Throughout the entire process, Lin Tian's speed was as fast as lightning, without the slightest decrease.

After driving to the basket, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and pulled back again, this time with a move that was very similar to the one that had just shaken Francis, and the result was no less impressive.

Just now, Lin Tian had shaken Francis to his knees, but this time, he caused two dark figures to rise into the air, fly in mid-air, and then fall down helplessly.

James! Martin!

The Spurs' two defensive stalwarts both miscalculated, and Lin Tian unexpectedly managed another sudden stop. They jumped at the same time, only to be faked out in a very embarrassing way.

"Shh!"

Then, Lin Tian took the opportunity to pull up and easily made a mid-range jump shot, scoring 2 points!
“I know every single move Lin made that time, I can do every single one of them. You could even find some high school kids on a pickup basketball court who know a little bit about basketball, they could do it too.” Payton said without hesitation, “The basics! The most basic of the basics!”

"Such a basic and simple technique, a skill that almost everyone can do, Lin makes it look like he's looking down on the world and is invincible! I even think this must be some kind of ultimate move!"

"To correct you, it's not some feeling of looking down on the world and being invincible, it's truly looking down on the world and being invincible!"

“You’re really conservative, Gary. You’re so conservative it’s unlike you. I suggest you, no, I demand you drop that damn word.” Barkley corrected Payton’s grammatical error with a smirk.

"I've envied that kind of physical ability my whole life," Miller couldn't help but say. "If it were me, even if I didn't compare myself to Lin, I would sprint at full speed, stop, sprint again, accelerate to the limit, stop again, and then take a step back and shoot."

“I can’t do it even if you kill me! I’ll definitely collapse at some point because my legs give way, and even if I don’t, my shots will be wildly off-target and completely unreliable.”

"But Lin, Lin can do it! Lin can do all that, and score, in this high-speed, frantic running and with the world's most intense and competitive conditions."

"His knees are probably made of titanium alloy, his ankles are likely made of vibranium, and his entire Achilles tendon might even be made from the spine of a dragon!"

"It's horrible! It's really horrible!"

"When do you think he found Martin and James? When did he realize that these two guys would definitely come after him?" Kenny didn't continue following the guys' lead, but suddenly asked a question.

"Is it when you've just started sprinting and accelerating, or when you've driven to the basket and suddenly decide to attack, or when you suddenly realize you might get blocked at some point during your drive?"

"I don't know." This time, the other three guys who always bickered finally shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they couldn't see through Lin Tian at all and couldn't imagine how he did all this.

Lin Tian's moves are simple to describe and easy to execute, but he can use this one move to shake off two opponents and knock down another.

This is simply why a 'monster' is called a 'monster'. (End of Chapter)
