I've been playing in the NBA for three years, and this system is only now showing up?

Chapter 113 Side Quest Reward! A dunk over Carter! The biggest gap between Jordan and Kobe! [Please Subscribe]

Lin Ze walked out of the locker room with doubts and strolled in the player tunnel. He thought to himself—maybe the system wanted him to run into Jordan and give him a good beating so that the night could truly end.

"I have to work overtime again tonight."

"Those billionaires, seriously, wouldn't it be better to practice at home? They have to keep practicing, preventing me from going home, damn it!"

"But Jordan just signed Jason's shoes."

"What?! FUXX! I'm going to find him right now with my sneakers. If he signs them too, I'll even pay his electricity bill for tonight!"

"You wish! But I'm also planning to try it out with my sneakers. You know, I was a fan of his in my past life."

Listening to the two staff members chatting, Lin Ze knew why the night wasn't over yet.

He walked all the way to the lighting control room at Staples Center, where all the lights in the arena are controlled.

"Why aren't you off work yet?" Lin Ze asked knowingly as soon as he walked in.

"Michael Jordan is training there, and he brought that slacker with him." The staff member, of course, recognized Lin Ze and answered the question with an expectant look.

Lin Ze didn't disappoint them, accepting the pen, sneakers, T-shirt, notebook, and socks as he did so.

Lin Ze threw the sock away and quickly signed his name on the other items: "Why should he train here? Is this Chicago or Washington? He wants to do extra training, but he's making our people work overtime?"

"OMG Fuck!"

"Yeah, yeah! He went too far!"

"He thinks he's the king of the league!"

The staff echoed each other, even though many of them had just obtained Jordan's autograph and were willing to work overtime, because Lin Ze was one of their own.

"Turn off the lights! Get him out of here!" Lin Ze offered a solution directly.

"But—" Upon hearing this, the staff looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

They're indebted to those who take bribes, not to mention that Jordan is on the court—someone they can't afford to offend.

"We got his autograph," one of the more honest ones admitted.

"You guys took mine too!" Lin Ze chuckled. "Although I'm not as famous as him, this is our home turf, so it's only natural that I get an extra boost. Therefore, the value of my autograph and his should be equal."

"So, considering both the inside and outside, the addition and subtraction, for the sake of fairness, you should all pretend you didn't get any signatures! Since you didn't get any signatures, it's only right that you turn off the lights and leave work immediately!"

The staff looked at each other, but no one dared to turn off the lights, which shows how great Jordan's reputation was in the league.

"Just say Lin ordered you to lock him up! If anything goes wrong, just push the blame onto me, I'll take the fall."

Upon hearing this, the staff immediately acted without hesitation. After a flurry of activity, all the massive spotlights on the court were switched off, leaving only the clattering of the ball and Jordan's thunderous roar that pierced the sky.

That was awesome!

Lin Ze felt extremely comfortable. He said goodbye to the staff and praised them for doing a great job.

Then, just as Lin Ze was about to drive away from the stadium—

"Host detected has destroyed Jordan's team and ruined Jordan's mood! Mission accomplished!"

"The host suffered a double blow, both from the team and from his heart, to Michael Jordan, avenging his time with the Bulls."

"Task completion rating: Excellent! Task reward issued to host."

"Host has acquired Jordan's talent: Giant Palm!"

"Giant Palm: The host's hand will undergo secondary development in the next two months, with a significant increase in finger strength, length, and dexterity."

Oh ho!

Upon seeing this talent, the first image that flashed through Lin Ze's mind was of McGrady and Jordan holding a basketball high in one hand, showing off at the top of the key.

With this thing, I can show off like this too! This is something Kobe could never do in his entire life.

Who told you that besides being nicknamed "Short-skinned Kobe," you also had the nickname "Little-skinned Kobe"?

Then, the reward this time is certainly not just about showing off.

There are many other benefits, especially those that are not readily apparent to laypeople.

Firstly, the improved finger strength will give Lin Ze an advantage when rebounding, stealing, and fighting for possession of the ball. For those balls that were originally 50-50, Lin Ze will have a greater chance of controlling the basketball.

Secondly, he was able to control some fancy passes, some poorly positioned passes, and some balls that were passed to Lin Ze in extreme spaces—balls that Lin Ze would normally have difficulty controlling and were prone to making mistakes on—and was able to completely catch the ball and then get it back up.

Furthermore, Lin Ze's ability to resist interference and interception is also stronger when facing the opponent's defense.

Even when blocked by an opponent, he can hold the basketball tightly, adjust his position, and put the ball in mid-air. This is a perfect combination of his core strength and ability to produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

More importantly, why do many of Jordan's shots look effortless and graceful, while many of Kobe's similar moves seem rather deliberate, flashy but lacking in grace?

Even though Kobe was skilled at various types of dunks, including spin moves, layups, and poster dunks, he rarely did windmill dunks throughout his career, and even when he did, he rarely did the standard windmill dunk that was big and round.

Why?

Kobe had small hands.

He swings the windmill, making the ball fly easily.

Even some of Kobe's occasional mistakes and missed shots were because his hands weren't big enough to control the ball.

But players like Jordan, and later Kawhi Leonard and Rajon Rondo, didn't have this problem.

Now, Lin Ze has also joined the Big Hands team. After two months of "secondary development period", Lin Ze will definitely be able to make many moves that are not stable enough now. His mistakes will also be significantly reduced. Other data such as rebounds and blocks will also improve to a certain extent!

After defeating the Wizards, the Lakers were back on the right track, going undefeated throughout December.

Whether it was the rising star of the East, the Nets, the Western Conference powerhouse, the Spurs, the 76ers in the Christmas Day game, or the Mavericks and Timberwolves afterward, none of them managed to secure a single victory against the Lakers.

They ended 2001 with a highly impressive six-game winning streak against strong opponents, bringing their record to 19 wins and 7 losses.

More importantly, although O'Neal only scored 18 points and 10 rebounds in his comeback game, which was unremarkable, he quickly found his form in the next three games.

Of course, the main reason is that the Lakers didn't play four games against the Wizards in a row. As long as Jordan wasn't on the other side, Lin Ze and Kobe were able to maintain a certain level of composure and feed O'Neal a lot of good shots.

O'Neal first dominated Duncan with 33 points and 17 rebounds against the Spurs, then ravaged the Nets' interior with 29 points and 16 rebounds. In Philadelphia, he met his old rival and exploded for 40 points, 21 rebounds and 5 blocks, completely destroying Mutombo.

The Mavericks and Timberwolves, two teams that didn't even have a physical shield, were completely outmatched by O'Neal.

"Sharks are fierce! The Lakers' Northward expedition begins!"

"Like a fish in the ocean! Two consecutive Player of the Week awards, who can stop Shaq?"

The strongest Lakers are back on the court, a three-game winning streak is officially underway!

The Lakers' winning streak has once again instilled fear throughout the league; with their entire team on the offensive, they are unstoppable.

Then in January, Jackson, who was quite experienced in winning three consecutive championships, began to take early rest.

He doesn't want to wait until March or April when the team's key players suffer injuries or decline in form due to fatigue.

The first player who needs a rest is O'Neal. He played too enthusiastically during the recent grueling schedule of 6 games in 10 days, with a very high number of playing time and shot attempts. So Jackson gave him a break for the first game.

Without O'Neal, the Lakers seemed somewhat out of sorts, suffering a shock defeat to the struggling Warriors in their first game of the new year.

Then O'Neal, who had no serious injury to begin with, announced his return. Jackson then put Lin Ze's name on the injury report. It was because Lin Ze had been under too much pressure all season and had played too many games for too long. This break meant that Lin Ze rested for a full week and missed 4 games.

In these four games, the Lakers had a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, which can only be described as mediocre.

Then, in Lin Ze's first game after his comeback, his performance was not very good.

Recently, his hands have been changing almost every day. He didn't notice it before because he was training and playing games every day, but after resting for a week, Lin Ze suddenly found that he couldn't find his shooting touch.

His comeback game was quite poor, shooting 6-for-22, and his three-point shooting was unusually inaccurate, going 1-for-6.

The Lakers lost at home due to Lin Ze's poor performance.

In the next two games, Lin Ze seemed to have completely fallen into a cold shooting abyss, making only 7 of 20 shots and 9 of 24 shots respectively.

With one win and one loss in the two games, the Lakers' record has improved to 22 wins and 12 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

Fortunately, the Lakers players have a wealth of experience in making adjustments. They know very well that the games they've played in the last two weeks haven't been a true reflection of their level. They just need to slowly find their rhythm again!

Lin Ze was the first to reconcile with himself.

He knew he would need time to regain his shooting touch, so after missing three consecutive games, making only 4 of 14 three-point attempts in those three games, he decisively changed his playing style, increasing his attacks on the inside and his cuts to the basket.

With this playing style, his efficiency increased significantly, and his number of free throws also increased dramatically.

Although this made the Lakers' offensive space more congested and their offense less fluid and dazzling, it allowed them to overcome the current difficulties and win the game.

In this game, Lin Ze made 7 of 16 shots, which was still not very efficient, but he got 14 free throw attempts and made 12 of them, both of which were the highest in the team!

In addition, he only took two shots from beyond the three-point line, and although he missed both, at least he didn't waste any shots.

Lin Ze, who scored 26 points, finally helped the Lakers secure a victory.

Starting with this victory, the Lakers have regained their form.

From that game onward, until just three days before the All-Star Game, they only lost two games in almost a month, achieving a remarkable record of 9 wins and 2 losses!

Lin Ze's touch has slowly recovered during this month of competition.

From initially shooting terribly poorly, to reducing his aggressive drives to the basket, and then tentatively increasing the proportion of three-pointers and mid-range shots, his shooting percentage steadily improved, and he finally slowly returned to the level of a top shooter in the league.

Of course, his average points per game have declined significantly during this period. He was second in the league in average points per game when he was the sole star in November, but now he has dropped to sixth in the league.

Although his average points per game have dropped significantly to only 25.6, Lin Ze is still the Lakers' leading scorer! Kobe and Shaq are both ranked behind him.

However, the differences are not significant.

Shaquille O'Neal averaged 25.2 points per game, ranking seventh in the league, while Kobe Bryant averaged 24.7 points per game, ranking eighth.

The Lakers occupy three of the top ten spots on the scoring list!

Besides these three, the Lakers' highest scorer is Fisher with only 7 points per game, followed by Fox and George with 5 points each.

Apart from that, no other Lakers player averages 3 points per game.

The familiar recipe, the familiar taste, the standard Lakers style.

The Lakers' Big Three still have a commanding lead in firepower over any other three-man combination in the league.

The Bucks' "Three Musketeers," the Mavericks' "Three Horsemen," and the Lakers' "Three Musketeers" are all qualitatively different.

At this point, the Lakers only had one game left before this year's Philadelphia All-Star Game.

Their next game will be an away game against the Toronto Raptors. After that, they can fly straight to Philadelphia to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

Just like last year, Lin Ze, Kobe, and Shaq were teammates and All-Star starters for the third consecutive year. This record is unlikely to be broken by any team for many years to come.

In addition to the three players being selected as All-Star starters, Lin Ze also accepted the league's invitation for the third consecutive year to participate in the Three-Point Contest. Like the Lakers, he is aiming for a three-peat!

Of course, Kobe once again rejected Lin Ze's repeated attempts to persuade him and his numerous public mockeries without hesitation.

He did not participate in the dunk contest.

Apart from these three, no other Lakers players will participate in the All-Star Game. After playing their away game in Toronto, they will return directly to Los Angeles to begin their short vacation.

Before the game against the Raptors began, Jackson clapped his hands to signal everyone to focus.

"Guys, do you remember the press conference after the last game? A lot of reporters said that Lin couldn't win the 3-point contest, that he couldn't win three in a row."

"Because his three-point shooting has been inconsistent and inaccurate for the past month or so, and his shooting percentage has been fluctuating up and down, many people think that Lin winning the three-point contest twice is already a blessing from God."

"But I think Lin will definitely win his third Three Points Contest title. He will definitely catch up with that Boston idiot."

"So, tonight we'll play as we agreed! Tonight, the whole team will feed Lin the ball and create three-point opportunities for him!"

"Before the All-Star game starts, let's show those who doubted Lin how stupid they are!"

"So, Lin, what about you? What do you say?"

When all eyes were on him, Lin Ze stood up without hesitation and looked at everyone.

He said, "Just give me the ball! I'll show them how stupid they are!"

Just then, the team's assistant coach, Mendes, received a phone call, and he immediately turned on the television, signaling everyone to watch.

The person on TV is Ray Allen. The Bucks have just finished their game, and this is the team's press conference.

"I'm so happy, this is the brightest night of my career! I've dreamed of it countless times, I've longed for it countless times." Allen beamed, clearly extremely satisfied with his performance: "To stand shoulder to shoulder with history, to be a part of history, that's always exciting!"

"Three-point contest? I'll win! I'm definitely going to be this year's three-point contest champion; my shooting touch tonight says it all!"

"Lin? I wish him good luck! He's great, but I think I'm the best shooter in this league!"

"Of course, if you think someone else is the best shooter, I'll support your opinion! I'm just saying what I think, that's all."

"This guy stabbed their head coach in the ass?" Lin Ze couldn't help but ask, "Otherwise, why would he be so happy?"

"Fuck Lin!" Jackson cursed. "There are so many things to be happy about, why do you have to stab your own team in the back?"

The head coach's chrysanthemum?

The crowd burst into laughter, then Mendes turned off the TV, pulled out a stat sheet, and said, "He just scored 47 points, and by the way, made 11 three-pointers."

"My record!" Brian Shaw, who is usually low-key on the team and is on the verge of retirement, suddenly exclaimed, "He broke it!"

"Strictly speaking, your record has already been broken," Lin Ze said. "Dennis Scott of the Magic made 11 three-pointers in a game against the Hawks in 1996."

"You're mistaken!" This was the only record Xiao had ever made that would be remembered in history. He shook his head stubbornly, indicating that he didn't believe it.

"I was on the field during that match, okay? How could I forget?" Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said, "One of them even went in on my head, how could I not remember?"

"Relax, Brian, relax," Mendes said with a smile. "At least you're the first person in NBA history to make 10 three-pointers in a single game. That record will always be yours, and it will never be broken."

"That's hard to say," Lin Ze thought to himself. "With so many time travelers these days, who can guarantee that no one will travel back to the 80s and throw 20 three-pointers at him?"

"But Scott broke the record during the two years when the three-point line shortened! So it doesn't count!" Shaw finally realized.

Key point: "When calculating historical records, that particular season is never included!"

"It doesn't matter, Brian," O'Neal said. "It all belongs to Ray Allen now! He made 11, the new record belongs to him."

"No, it only belongs to him for two hours." Lin Ze stood up, his gaze firm and confident: "After two hours, this record will be mine!"

"Shouldn't it be three hours?" O'Neal was unusually serious. "A game usually lasts about two and a half hours. There's still half an hour until the game starts, so three hours is the correct time."

"I've already made at least 12 three-pointers," Lin Ze said. "How can the game not turn into garbage time early on?"

"Two hours! That's enough! $100, I bet you Shaq? I can break the record in three quarters!"

"I'll take the bet!" O'Neal grinned from ear to ear; he loved this!

After speaking, Lin Ze was the first to get up and walk towards the players' tunnel.

Since you, Allen, have taken the initiative to pick this grass and even named it, then I'm going to make sure you can't sleep tonight!

The Raptors, who reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, have maintained a similar level of performance and strength this season. Apart from Charles Oakley's move to the Bulls, they have basically retained the roster that led them to their best record in franchise history.

Vince Carter is the undisputed core of the team, Antonio Davis continues his efficient performance with an average of double-doubles, second-year player Morrison Peterson has made significant progress and has become the team's second-leading scorer, and Alvin Williams is averaging more than 10 points per game for the first time in his career.

Others such as Keon Clark and Roger Williams also performed quite well.

In addition, Hakeem Olajuwon, the former league's best center who joined the team this year from the Rockets, has seen a significant decline in form, averaging only 7 points and 6 rebounds per game. However, his experience, height, and occasional flashes of brilliance with his dream footwork can still bring considerable help to the Raptors.

In short, although the Raptors are still far from winning the championship this year, at least for now, they seem to be on the right track. The team has a full roster with decent players in every position. Although they may not even make the playoffs in the West, they even have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals in the East.

Another point worth mentioning is that, perhaps feeling bored with the dunk contest because he couldn't find any opponents, Carter also participated in the three-point contest this year, and he is eager to win the championship.

While this guy's three-pointers weren't as impressive as his dunks, they were still among the best of this era.

He is one of the three-point shooters, and also one of the most eccentric players of this era who loves to shoot from super far, often choosing to shoot from 1 meter outside the three-point line.

这个赛季，卡特曾一次单场投中8记3分，一次单场投中7记3分，并且还有着38%的3分命中率。

In this situation, the two teams meet head-on!

Carter grinned, showing off his big white teeth, and greeted everyone.

His appearance made it impossible for Lin Ze to even say a few words to him.

After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling!

As time passed, the starting players from both sides took their positions on either side.

O'Neal and Olajuwon jumped at the same time.

In the Finals, O'Neal was once thoroughly outplayed by Hakeem Olajuwon, swept 4-0. But now the tables have turned. O'Neal has not only become a super center who is no less than Olajuwon at his peak, but he also easily gets possession of the ball for the Lakers' first offensive possession.

Kobe received the ball at the top of the key, quickly executed a pick-and-roll with Lin Ze, and then passed the ball to Lin Ze from behind.

Lin Ze received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side. Davis is a standard blue-collar center. Even when facing a guy like Lin Ze who is known for his shooting skills, he instinctively wanted to retreat and get back to the basket.

How could Lin Ze miss such an opportunity? Having already decided to cause some trouble tonight, he immediately pulled out his...

They parted ways.

"He just threw it like that? Shaq wasn't even in the paint!" Barkley couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin is so reckless—"

FUXX! Great shot!

Lin Ze's goal came faster than Barkley's doubts; the basketball sent a ripple through the net and swished through the pocket!

During the Raptors' offense, Carter received the ball at the top of the key and, facing Kobe's defense, waved for a screen. Olajuwon wasn't fast, but he was big enough and experienced enough to firmly block Kobe in front of him.

Like Davis, O'Neal instinctively chose to retreat instead of rushing over to block Carter, and Carter did the same, pulling up and shooting from beyond the three-point line!

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp sound, Carter responded with a three-pointer.

After scoring, Carter looked at Lin Ze with some excitement. Although he didn't say anything trash, everyone could see the murderous intent in his eyes and his eagerness to try.

This guy wants to compete with himself!

Then let's have a competition!

Whether you're around or not, I'm going to teach Allen a lesson from afar tonight.

Lin Ze came to the frontcourt again, and this time he and Kobe executed a pick-and-roll.

This time, Davis didn't retreat but rushed out quickly. Lin Ze wasn't in a hurry. He jumped up and slammed the ball into the paint. O'Neal received the ball and immediately exerted his strength, pushing past the 58-year-old Olajuwon, and easily made a layup.

"Hakeem, haven't you eaten yet?" O'Neal looked at Olajuwon with great pride after scoring.

"How did you know?" Olajuwon said dismissively, "It's Ramadan now, and I really don't eat."

"How about it? Interested in joining? We can feel Allah's call together."

"Go ahead and have your fun." When O'Neal saw that Olajuwon was actually preparing to preach, he turned and ran away. He didn't want to listen to Olajuwon's nonsense.

Hakeem Olajuwon smiled, shrugged, and served the ball from the baseline.

What is an old fox?

That's it!

The Raptors immediately passed the ball to Carter.

As the only player on the team to average more than 15 points per game, he naturally has to take on a lot of one-on-one plays and ball handling responsibilities.

He catches the ball, pulls it up, and throws another three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

It's still working!

After scoring, Carter looked at Lin Ze again, without saying anything, but everything was understood without being spoken.

2:1!

Lin Ze was in no hurry at all. In the next possession, after receiving the ball, he passed it to O'Neal again.

The competition is going to be long!

He'll definitely go all out tonight, but there's no need to rush at the start of the game.

Lin Ze waited for eight minutes. In the first eight minutes of the game, he kept passing the ball to O'Neal and his teammates, while he only took one shot at the beginning of the game.

After 8 minutes and 21 seconds into the game, the Raptors had to make a change, because O'Neal drew another foul on Olajuwon, his second foul.

The Raptors had no choice but to replace the former superstar center with Keown Clark.

Hakeem Olajuwon's departing figure was etched with the signs of his aging. In the eight minutes he played, besides committing two fouls, he only managed two points and two rebounds, along with one missed shot and one turnover.

Meanwhile, O'Neal dominated, scoring 9 points in just over half a quarter. He would have scored even more if he hadn't only made 1 of 4 free throws.

He stepped up to the free-throw line again and made one of two free throws once more.

With his successful free throw, the Lakers now lead by 5 points.

But just over 10 seconds later, Carter once again pulled up for a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Another sound!

Carter sank his third three-pointer of the night!

He scored 15 points in the first quarter, even more than O'Neal.

After making the shot, Carter finally got excited, waving his hands and interacting with the fans, and shouting loudly!

But whenever an opposing player acts so arrogantly, the Lakers always make them pay the price!

O'Neal received the ball in the low post, drawing a double team, and then immediately passed the ball out. Lin Ze received the ball outside the three-point line but did not shoot immediately. Instead, he watched Clark rush over and slowed down for a moment. He dribbled the basketball once when Clark was about to reach him before pulling up and shooting!

That one pause caused Clark to completely lose control of his body, and as he lunged forward, he crashed into Lin Ze!

"brush!"

"Beep beep!"

"That's insane!" Kenny couldn't help but exclaim. "Lin's shot was practically waiting for Clark to come over."

He's aiming for the 3+1 goal!

Barkley said, "I love this crazy era!"

"But they wouldn't be crazy enough to kiss a butt in front of fans all over America!" Kenny seized the opportunity and threw out the old joke again.

"Are you never going to stop?!" Barkley finally snapped. "You've brought this up 800 times since the very first game of the regular season!"

"You son of a bitch, when are you going to stop talking like that?!"

"Until you actually do it, until you actually kiss it, you haven't forgotten, Charles, that I let you off the hook last time, but you didn't keep your bet."

"That's an unfair bet!" Barkley exclaimed. "I wouldn't even get any benefit from winning!"

"Why didn't you say so back then?" Kenny looked completely innocent. "You were the one who decided to take the bet—no, you initiated it! You can't blame me; you chose Charles yourself, right?"

"Fuck you! You absolutely can't bring this up again!" Barkley said. "I hate it!"

"Then let's settle this completely at the All-Star Game!" Kenny squinted, clearly thinking of some wicked idea.

On the court, after Lin Ze made the free throw, Carter tried to shoot a three-pointer again, but this time Kobe finally made a good defensive move, causing Carter's three-pointer to miss. After O'Neal grabbed the rebound, he immediately passed it to Fisher. Fisher dribbled the ball past half-court and then passed it to the left corner of the Raptors' court.

Lin Ze!

He somehow found his position, aimed, pulled up, and unleashed a powerful three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

Goal!

Lin Ze has now made 3 three-pointers, and also had a 3+1 play!

「林的手感也来了啊！」巴克利忍不住感慨道：「林连续的7分之后，湖人队已经领先了9分！第一节比赛还有2分38秒，他们的得分已经超过了30分！」

Carter then missed another mid-range shot, but Davis grabbed the rebound and put it back in, drawing a foul from O'Neal in the process.

Seeing this, Jackson realized that O'Neal was a bit distracted, so he immediately substituted O'Neal and Kobe, and Lin Ze naturally became the team's offensive spearhead once again!

Davis made both free throws, narrowing the gap to 7 points.

During the Lakers' offense, Lin Ze called for the ball at the top of the arc and three-point line, then waved for Madsen to come up and set a screen.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when Clark couldn't get up, he pulled up and shot from beyond the three-point line!

"Third in a row!" Kenny yelled. "Goal! Lin's three-pointers in a row!"

After scoring this basket, Lin Ze became excited. After scoring 10 consecutive points, he started wildly waving his arms, swinging them up and down, taunting the fans on the sidelines.

Didn't you guys call for MVP?

Keep shouting!

Let's see who the MVP is!

With 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first quarter, Carter brought the ball up the court himself. He was clearly determined at this point. As the team leader, he couldn't stand anyone being so arrogant on his turf!

Carter's choice was also quite tough.

After calling for a pick-and-roll, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he dribbled back to create space, even reaching out his hand to drive.

He gestured to Lin Ze, who had come over to switch positions.

"Come on, don't go! Let's fight one-on-one!"

Having finally managed to switch positions, he wasn't going to let Lin Ze get away!

Lin Ze stood in front of Carter!

Facing Lin Ze's defense, Carter first tried to shake off his balance, but Lin Ze didn't fall for it at all. Then Carter suddenly stepped out with one leg to block Lin Ze's position and then accelerated to try to rush into the paint.

But Lin Ze held firm, preventing him from cutting in, and at the same time, he didn't try to steal the ball, so he just followed Carter all the way to the inside.

After driving all the way to the basket, Carter didn't care whether he had pushed Lin Ze aside or not. He simply pulled up, twisted his body, picked up the basketball, and wanted to dunk it over him!

"You're dreaming!" Lin Ze roared angrily!

No matter how talented you are, Carter, or how great you are as the greatest dunker of all time, it's a pipe dream to dunk over my defense like this!

Lin Ze stretched out his large hand and jumped as high as he could, wanting to compare his height with Carter!

Even if I'm not as tall as you, the basket is still there. No matter how high you jump, you still have to slam the ball down to score!

The two jumped almost simultaneously. Carter had a clear height advantage; the height his feet left the ground was terrifying. However, Lin Ze had the advantage of height and wingspan, so he was not much inferior to Carter.

Finally, after reaching the highest point, Carter slammed the ball toward the basket with one hand, while Lin Ze defended with all his might!

At this moment, the talent he had just acquired came into play!

Lin Ze's larger hands gave him a larger defensive area, allowing him to block shots from a wider range!

Lin Ze had at least two knuckles on his fingers, pressing them against the basketball!

Before acquiring the "Giant Palm" talent, Lin Ze would most likely have been unable to interfere with this play and could only watch as Carter completed a humiliating dunk over his head.

At the same time, the strength in Lin Ze's fingers was terrifying. This enormous finger strength meant that even if only half a finger was pressed on the basketball in Carter's hand, it would be enough for him to complete the defense!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the basketball was swatted away by Lin Ze, his empty hand slamming heavily against the rim.

impossible!

Carter's face was filled with disbelief!

The reason he played so arrogantly on this play was because he knew that Lin Ze's physical attributes were average and that he couldn't possibly stop him. He figured this attack would at least earn him two free throws.

But the result—I actually got hated?

Lin Ze didn't have time to keep Carter thinking about why. He got up almost the instant he fell and charged towards the frontcourt with all his might!

Carter, who was also lying on the floor, was completely aroused by this scene. He quickly got up and ran at full speed after Lin Ze!

At the free-throw line, Lin Ze received a pass from his teammate, held the ball with one hand, raised it high, and strode towards the basket!

Carter had just finished turning around at that moment.

In that instant, he regretted it!

Why work so hard?

Why did I suddenly become so irrational and impulsive?

The reason Carter regretted it so much was that although he sprinted at full speed to overtake Lin Ze and return to the basket, he underestimated Lin Ze. He didn't expect Lin Ze to come so fast and so fiercely!

After he turned around, Lin Ze had already reached the edge of the three-second zone, and he didn't even have time to jump and block.

Even if he had knees made of titanium alloy, he couldn't possibly turn around, stop abruptly, and jump to block a shot after sprinting all over the court.

That's Saiyan work, not his.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, everything went black in front of Carter, and Lin Ze pressed down on him.

So this is what it feels like to be dunked on?

A strange thought popped into Carter's head, and then he lost his balance and fell flat on his face.

Lin Ze gripped the rim with one hand, looking down at Carter with an air of superiority that made even the usually carefree and optimistic Carter swallow hard.

"Oooooooooooooooo!"

"Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!"

"Incredible!"

"Carter's dunk turned into a block, and then he got posterized by Lin!"

"Incredible!"

"This turnaround was too fast! It's unbelievable!"

"I was just about to cheer for Carter's dunk! But in the blink of an eye, Lin dunked on him instead?"

"Carter, who has dunked countless times, has finally experienced what it's like to be someone else's lackey. It must have been terrible for him."

"It's not just terrible, it's like the sky is falling."

"The Raptors have called a timeout. They need to let Carter calm down. I don't think they'll let Carter play again in the first quarter."

"But fans don't need to calm down. Come on, let's watch this play again! Lin dominated the court on both offense and defense, he dominated Carter!"

The two commentators were praising Lin Ze's performance in this round with one voice after another, saying it was explosive and crazy!

Lin Ze on the court was even more frantic at this moment.

Even after the Raptors called a timeout, he continued to roar wildly, howling to the sky.

Only after being reminded by the referee did the guy turn around and walk towards the bench.

As he walked, he kept waving his arms, provoking the fans in the stadium.

But this time, the Raptors fans were completely silent.

They were also stunned by the round that had just passed.

After all, most of the time, it was Carter who was tormenting his opponents.

But now, it's their turn?

Carter, actually became a victim?
