Chapter Sixty-Nine: Michael's Power Guides Me!
If there's anyone who was most shocked in the entire stadium, it's undoubtedly Phil Jackson!
He did say something to Lin Tian to give you unlimited firing rights, and fight this kind of thing with you as the core.
But he never dreamed that Lin Tian would play such an amazing and crazy performance!
The entire United Center has been crazy about MVP!
In less than 4 minutes, he scored 13 points, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal on 5-of-5 shooting!
Even if you look at the entire league, this kind of performance is quite explosive!
Not to mention that Lin Tian is facing the top team in the league, the second Jazz in the West!
This gold content is more difficult than beating up bad teams such as the Raptors, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves, I don't know how many times!
Although Jackson's face was still indifferent at this time, as if everything was under control, the rating he gave Lin Tian in his heart had been improved again!
With a 21-point lead, the Bulls locker room was called excitement and the atmosphere was called good at halftime.
Jackson simply told them not to let their guard down and stopped talking after two quarters of the game went down in the second half.
When it's time to get excited, he'll let his teammates celebrate!
What he has to think about now is not what to do if the team is too happy and let their guard down in the second half!
What he has to think about now is how to put Lin Tian's position in the team!
In the second half, Jackson also came to some preliminary conclusions.
The first thing he did was to surprise everyone.
In the starting lineup in the second half, there was no Lin Tian!
He started with Hubble and Kerr in the starting line-up, with Winnington, Kukoc and Pippen up front.
In Jordan's absence, he didn't let the team's best guard play, which really made many people confused and didn't understand what Jackson was going to do.
The fans at the scene even booed Jackson!
"Let Lin play!"
"Let him beat the filthy Utah garbage to death!"
"Phil! Lin can score 50 points tonight! You put him on the bench! ”
"You're ruining a perfect night! You hippie who doesn't know how to ball! ”
Regarding the protests of the fans, Lin Tian and Jackson were very calm.
They don't care about any of that.
And Lin Tian also vaguely felt a little bit of Jackson's thoughts!
Without Lin Tian and Jordan on the floor, and the Jazz team has recovered a lot of confidence and form after halftime, they started their own journey of chasing points!
With 8 minutes left in the third quarter, the Jazz managed to close the gap to 15 points!
If they can close the gap again in the remaining minutes, preferably to around 10 points, then the suspense of the game will be rekindled immediately!
At this time, Jackson was replaced, and Lin Tian, who played the Jazz team in the first half, was a little trembling and was taken to the court again!
As soon as he got on the court, he first showed his speed advantage again, passed Stockton in one step, went straight to the inside, and rushed towards Malone!
Then, a scene that everyone didn't expect appeared!
Ma Long seemed to be frightened by Lin Tian's terrifying impact in the first half, this guy didn't step forward to protect the basket, but stretched out his hand as if coping, and then watched Lin Tian score a layup!
Then on the defensive end, Lin Tian put on a high-intensity close defense against Stockton, and had a double bag with Hubble, directly cut the ball off Stockton's hand, and after running wildly, he made a layup again!
In less than 30 seconds, Lin Tian scored 4 points in a row, and the Jazz team worked hard to narrow the gap in half a quarter, and it disappeared in an instant!
And the next few minutes of the third quarter once again became Lin Tian's show!
Although the 'Shark Power' is no longer there, tonight's Lin Tian is obviously waiting for his best condition!
As the saying goes, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? Any NBA player has a big explosion and plays a career night game.
And today's night obviously belongs to Lin Tian!
First, a dry pull-up 3-point shot after a block and a pick-and-roll, and then a step past Stockton and a direct mid-range pull-up and a long 2-point shot!
After two balls, Lin Tian was sure that he was in a good state tonight! So he no longer hesitated and used the "German cannon" he got from Schramf!
This is a two-time All-Star's three-point shooting!
Last season, Schramf shot 50 percent from three-point range.
Coupled with Lin Tian's absolute advantage in speed and 6 centimeters higher than Stockton, as well as his own state, he doesn't need to go inside to fight with Ma Long at all!
He used cover to bypass Stockton again and again, either pulling up directly and throwing 3-pointers, or rushing to the mid-range pull-up jump shot!
As Lin Tian shot again and again, the basketball also got into the basket again and again!
The point difference between the two sides began to widen, and Stockton also learned Lin Tian's terrifying scoring ability and superb speed.
He simply can't keep up!
Lin Tian can clean up his life with a very simple action, he can't even touch Lin Tian's taillights!
And even if the Jazz team comes to deal with Lin Tian and wants to slow down his scoring momentum, Lin Tian can find empty teammates again and again, and let his teammates end the offense!
That is, Malone and Hornacek were in too good shape in the second half, and in Rodman's absence, the Jazz couldn't prevent it, but they could still keep scoring.
At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 102:77!
In this era, 77 points in the third quarter is not a low score, and the Jazz's offensive state tonight is definitely not bad! But they were still 25 points behind!
Because they met the super-god Lin Tian! Lin Tian led the team to score more than 100 points in the third quarter! In this era, this is even rarer, except for the Warriors, Nuggets and other teams that only attack and don't defend can play this kind of score after going crazy, fans can only see this kind of performance in the All-Star Game.
As for Lin Tian, he scored 22 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals in the third quarter!
As of the end of the third quarter, Lin Tian had made 15 of 21 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 39 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 0 turnovers!
He completely blew up the league's steal king Stockton!
This night is destined to belong to Lin Tian!
In the fourth quarter, Sloan didn't replace Malone and Stockton, and he was determined to make a last stand! Finally, he didn't believe that Lin Tian could continue the terrifying touch of the third quarter, and he was even more unwilling to surrender easily in the absence of Jordan Rodman.
And Jackson apparently guessed Sloane's thoughts!
He also sent Pippen, Cole, Kukoc, Longley and Lin Tian as the strongest lineup he can come up with now!
If your Jazz team doesn't admit defeat, I'll completely convince you!
