"Isn't that unattended?" Jackson glanced at the court and found that Barkley was sitting obediently on the bench as he guessed, and then he realized that he had been tricked by Lin Tian!

When he wanted to trouble Lin Tian, he found that Lin Tian had already run to the end of the bench and chatted with the team's two water cooler players!

In the rest of the first quarter, both sides played a little uncomfortable after missing a very important point in their respective tactics!

There is only one of the Rockets' interior twin towers left, and the interior advantage is no longer so obvious, and the Bulls have no advance on Lin Tian's side, and they can only play with the Rockets to attack the position they don't like.

In this case, both sides were not very efficient in the second half of the first quarter, and the two sides only reached 21:24 in the end.

The Bulls relied on the advantage saved by the few fast breaks before Lin Tian went to the court, and at the end of the first quarter, they slightly led the Rockets by 3 points!

In the second quarter of the game, Olajuwon and Drexler on the Rockets' side were all rested, but they still sent Barkley and Kevin Willis to continue to maintain their advantage on the inside, and Eddie Johnson, who was poached from the Pacers, was also on the court as an important firepower point on the outside line, supporting the two insiders.

Then, the team's backup defenders, Brent Price and Mario Elie, were paired in the backcourt.

On the Bulls' side, Jackson showed off the depth of his roster again.

The five-member duo of Lin Tian, Rodman, Cole, Hubble and Winnington was put on the table.

In this combination, all three of them are pure defenders, although Rodman is the No. 4 position, but he is slightly taller than Barkley, and the real pure interior line is only Winnington!

"Lin, you go to Charles, Bill against the other one, Dennis, you defend and wait for their weakest, worst offensive player, and then be ready to help defend inside! It doesn't matter if they continue to play Olajuwon and Barkley or Willis and Barkley, you're in charge of supporting the defense and backing up Lin and Beal! ”

"On the offensive end, Lin is the core, he lets you run, he lets you run, he lets you vote, you vote! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

With a clear voice, the Bulls all took to the court, and the game continued in the second quarter!

The first offense was with the Bulls.

Lin Tian dribbled the ball, gesticulating unhurriedly, directing the running positions of his teammates.

After coming to the front court, Lin Tian faced Price's defense, did not rush to attack, but beckoned people again, and asked Wen Nington to come forward to cover him.

After the two of them crossed and exchanged positions in the high position, the 35-year-old Willis really couldn't defend it, and shrank near the free throw line, obviously to focus on defending Lin Tian's breakthrough!

Putting a shot to prevent a breakout?

Then let you guard against loneliness!

Lin Tian is transported to the 3-point line and immediately stopped urgently, pulled up and threw it!

"Huh!"

After another crisp sound, Tomjanovich couldn't help but shake his head.

What's going on with this kid today?

Obviously, mid-range shooting is just like that, it's not iron, but it's not too powerful, why is he playing his own team today, and he hits one by one?

After Lin Tian easily threw the ball in, the defensive end also met Barkley again, under this lineup, Barkley is the team's first offensive point without suspense, and he is still resolutely killing the inside line, blocking Lin Tian in the low position to ask for the ball.

"I'll just say Charles, you're better suited to play as a substitute! See how happy you are with the substitutes? No one grabs the ball with you, no one grabs the inside space with you, you can play however you want! If you want me to say, you can play as a substitute, and playing as a substitute is for you! ”

"Shut up! In my life, I will never play as a substitute! Barkley scolded, then suddenly became ruthless and crashed into Lin Tian again!

"Bang! Boom! ”

This time, Barkley didn't have to force his way to the basket to make a shot, this time he dribbled to the edge of the 3-second zone and then suddenly turned around, and then made a high-speed shot with an incredibly fast throw!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Barkley looked at Lin Tiandao and said, "Do you think you can defend me every round?" You think you can pinch me at will? Dream! No one can stop Charles Barkley! ”

"Idiot!"

Lin Tian won't be verbose with Barkley at this time, he has already begun to run towards the frontcourt, and because Olajuwon is not there, the Rockets have no one to interfere with the Bulls' baseline ball, and Winnington, who has a tacit understanding with Lin Tian, of course knows what he wants to do as a black-bellied partner, so he gave the ball out as soon as possible and let Lin Tian dribble forward!

When Lin Tian once again quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt, the Rockets' Ally and Price both stood in front of him to prevent him from breaking through or shooting again.

As soon as he saw that it was a double bag, Lin Tian didn't squint, and it seemed that he was still aiming at the basket, but the basketball in his hand had already flown towards the 3-point line at a 45-degree angle.

"Vote! Steve! Lin Tian shouted, then lowered his head and rushed towards the inside line of Team Rocket.

"Boom!" Cole didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, he just pulled it up and threw it!

But he was unlucky today, and he didn't hit this big empty 3-pointer!

But Lin Tian has already rushed into the inner line at this time! He took advantage of the fact that Willis and Barkley were not yet under the basket, and after holding the basketball in his arms, he did not attack himself, but found Kerr again.

"There's a board! Cast! ”

"Huh!"

This time, Cole didn't disappoint Lin Tian again!

The second 3-pointer in the same position, pinpointed!

Bulls, keep the score!

"Boy! Are you polite or not! No one has ever taught you what the minimum politeness is? Barkley looked at Lin Tiandao menacingly: "I'm talking to you!" ”

"When you stuck your hands in Bird's arm and made Owen punch him in the nose, did you ever think about respect and politeness?" Lin Tian smiled and said, "When you left Philadelphia and left Phoenix, did you say polite to the local fans and teammates?" ”

"Did they agree? Did you fulfill the promise you made to them at the time? Oh, sorry, I forgot. Speaking of this, Lin Tian suddenly smiled very brightly: "The people of Philadelphia agreed, you were almost driven away by them back then!" Philadelphia people like handsome backcourt players who can fly and dunk, and they'd rather have a chubby, fat guy be their leader than a straight lotter! ”

At this point, Barkley finally realized one thing-

Bicker? Even if he has played in the NBA for more than ten years, he is not the opponent of this second-year boy!

This guy's mouth is too poisonous! And every word pierces the heart!

What does it mean to hit someone only in the face, and scold the mother when you scold someone?

Lin Tian is!

Barkley, who decisively chose to shut up and be quiet, came to the basket again, backed Lin Tian, and launched a strong attack!

This time, Barkley once again chose to suddenly turn and throw after the confrontation to avoid Lin Tian's defense and blocking, but this time the basketball failed to hit, but popped out of the frame.

"Smack!"

Lin Tian was the same as just now, first occupied the position, stuck Barkley, made him unable to jump, and his hand was eager to drag the hem of Barkley's jersey, and then Lin Tiancai jumped up easily and put the rebound in his arms under absolute safety!

Who says you have to bounce well to grab a rebound?

Third-rate rebounders rely on bounces, second-rate rebounders rely on height, first-rate rebounders rely on strength, and top rebounders rely on card positions!

“FUXX！ Who did you learn all this dirty stuff with? Barkley shook off Lin Tian's hand unhappily, he really hated these little actions.

"You learned from Dennis, you go and trouble him." Lin Tian did not hesitate to sell Rodman cleanly.

"! I've never taught you such a dirty trick to pull the corners of someone's clothes! I'm always asking you to pinch someone's ass and pinch someone's waist and eyes, or push someone else's thigh with your knees! Rodman immediately protested, saying that he had never used such a dirty trick.

"You guys! Don't discuss foul tactics in front of me! Crawford looked at Lin Tian with a gloomy face.

What's wrong with these guys?

Discuss this in front of me?

Be...... The league now encourages confrontation, and I can pretend not to see these non-serious fouls.

But you can't think of me as blind and deaf again! That's too much, isn't it?

In this round, because of Barkley's outstretched interference and on-the-spot pressing, the Bulls' fast attack did not start, and Lin Tian was not in a hurry, and slowly dribbled to the frontcourt.

Then he reached out and called for cover.

This time, it was Rodman who came to cover for him!

After another crossover, Lin Tian faced Barkley!

"Boy, are you going to challenge me? There is a kind of inner line, let's compare the strength again! Barkley slapped his face, looking full of energy.

"Huh!"

Lin Tiancai ignored him, and after walking into the 3-point line, he pulled it up and threw it!

Basketball is another call to the net!

It's still the same sentence, the strongest mid-range shot among all interior players in the 90s, he is amazing!

"Next time, next time I have a chance, I will definitely go to the inside line to beat you up!" After Lin Tian scored, he shrugged his shoulders easily and said, "Wait until I score another 10 mid-range shots." ”

"Damn it! Charles, rush up, Charles! Damn it! "Tomjanovic off the field can't sit still, what's going on with this Lin Tian today? Soaring power and exploding touch? How can we encounter anything?

Angry Tomjanovich vented his anger on Barkley: "You still want him to cast a few more!" Go up on top! Don't let him vote again! He's already scored 100 middle distances! Are you all blind? Can't you see that he feels explosive today? ”

"The dog who lost his family was scolded again." After Tomjanovich finished spraying, Lin Tian said to Barkley with a smile: "After the game, I'll buy you a black pot, you carry it well, adapt more, you will definitely like the feeling of carrying a black pot!" ”

"By the way, I guess that's how your head coach set it up before the game, right? Let me shoot, don't let me break through? Well? Do what he says, but he sprays him wildly? Charles, I said, you don't get any respect here! ”

"You think you get respect for winning the championship? The truth is: you don't get a championship, and you don't get respect! You're just a mercenary! ”

"Shut up! That's enough! Barkley finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and put his head against Lin Tian's head, and squirted at him: "Lao Tzu doesn't need you to teach me to play!" I don't need you to say anything to me, I can play wherever I want! You don't care! You can't control the horse! ”

"Toot toot! Toot toot! The referee's whistle immediately sounded frantically, and he rushed over quickly, separating the two people, Crawford looked at Barkley angrily and said, "Charles, are you going to ruin Christmas for all of us?" Are you going to ruin Christmas for all of us? You idiot! ”

Compared to Barkley's angry glare, Lin Tian didn't care, he didn't mean to fight back at all, but smiled and took two steps back.

There are two reasons why he is so calm.

The first is that his purpose tonight was to destroy Barkley, but he wasn't prepared to do it at all.

It's a Christmas fight, and it's a national live broadcast!

At this time of the All-Star voting, Lin Tian knows how much trouble he will cause if he is banned for fighting tonight, and he also knows how many fans will lose to vote, American fans don't like guys who hit people at Christmas.

On the contrary, if fans across the United States can see how calm and rational Lin Tian is on this night, it will definitely bring Lin Tian a lot of All-Star votes!

As Crawford said, fighting, will definitely ruin everyone's Christmas!

As for the second reason, at the moment when Barkley was angry and made a move, Lin Tian's system moved!

"Charles Barkley's mood swing drops the permanent Feature: Flying Pig LV1 (0/2000)."

"Flying God Pig LV1: Strength increased by 10%, rebounding ability increased by 5%, and bounce increased by 3%!"

Tut-tut...... Good stuff again!

The supplements are all the shortcomings that Lin Tian is not very good at at at present, and the skill introduction is clean, simple and direct, clear at a glance, and the bonuses are reasonable and well-founded, and the effect is comprehensive!

What makes a good skill? That's the best skill!

After obtaining this Flying God Pig, Lin Tian thought about it and used a one-time experience card that he had kept since the All-Star last season.

Flying Pig (1st section): Increases bounce by 5%, if you weigh more than 90 kg, increase bounce by an additional 2% for each additional kg!

After being pulled away, Barkley also slowly calmed down, although he was whistled for a technical foul, but he was not sent off the court.

And this guy looked at Lin Tian's eyes at this moment...... It's also a little weird.

Barkley was a little puzzled.

This guy can KO Ma Long in one second, kill the New York Three villains in seconds, and chase supersonic players to beat him, why didn't he fight back just now?

Scared of yourself, shocked by yourself? !

He's not even afraid of Marlon, can he be afraid of me Barkley?

Barkley couldn't understand why Lin Tian didn't do it just now, his brain capacity must not have imagined what Lin Tian deliberately tolerated for the sake of the All-Star starting votes.

After all, the All-Star starter is really dispensable for a veteran like him who has played for more than ten years, and he doesn't care about it at all.

This kid, I heard that this attitude is also the same towards Michael? Squirting to death every day, and almost fighting several times during training?

Isn't it?,This kid is like this.,The more you respect whom.,The more you treat anyone as a character.,The more you like to dance in front of whom!

He doesn't look down on Malone, Ewing and Kemp, so he doesn't blink when he beats them, but he respects Michael, so he only spews trash talk and doesn't do anything.

So he ...... Respect me too?

I heard that those young people who have crossed the ocean without relatives by their side will be such a character, eager to be noticed by respectful people, eager to be discovered, eager to have a sense of existence, but sensitive and fragile, he is so able to fight, he must have been bullied when he was in school, so he practiced hard......

When Kerr, who had the highest free throw shooting percentage of the Bulls, stood on the free throw line, when Lin Tian stood there with his neck dangling, he couldn't have imagined that Barkley's mind had already made up a whole part of Lin Tian's mental journey, and even why Lin Tian was so good, he had made up a whole story in his mind.

If Lin Tian knew that Buckley's imagination was so rich, he would definitely introduce Buckley to Spike Lee and ask Buckley to write a script for him.

"Lin, why didn't you fight back just now? Don't say you're afraid of me or I'm Michael's friend, Patrick is also Michael's friend, and you didn't show mercy when you beat him! After hesitating for a long time, Barkley finally couldn't help it, and took advantage of Kerr's free throw to hit the gap before the Bulls served, and asked the question.

Even if he has made up a 90-episode urban emotional drama, he still has to confirm it himself to believe his judgment!

"Because I respect you, Charles! I see you as my mentor and idol! My dream is to play like you! Like a man! I admire you, bravely choose your own path, regardless of other people's opinions, for the sake of the championship, you took the most difficult road! I know! ”

"I also know that you are not a super team at all, you are just an ordinary team that was eliminated in the first round with 45 wins the year before, Charles, you have been misunderstood by the world too much! What's wrong with joining the opponent if you can't beat it? A real man who can bend and stretch is a real man! ”

"What about changing 3 teams? Bringing your talents to different places is a matter of charity! ”

Lin Tian swore that his call was all nonsense, most of which was ridicule and rhetoric, and he felt that anyone who was a normal person could hear that there was no praise in his words.

But Barkley just didn't hear it!

In his big eyes, there was actually a faint splash!

"Lin! No one has ever said that to me! Really, I'm really tired! Everyone was taunting me, calling me a softass, saying that I had run away again and sought refuge from others, but I didn't! I really don't! If I'm going to find someone else's shelter, wouldn't it be good for me to join the bull? Isn't it good for me to join the supersonic or jazz? ”

"Why should I choose a team with 45 wins? Just because they won the championship two years ago? Lin, your words, every word of yours, have spoken to my heart, I have indeed taken the most difficult road! ”

Lin Tian was stunned!

Lin Tian was completely stunned!

What's that?

Did Buckley's brain drop w?

He can't hear what he says, so why does he still look like he is the soul mate of life and death?

This guy's head can't be the same as his appearance, really that stupid......

However, no matter what Lin Tian thinks in his heart, Lin Daguan has always paid attention to a person who does not hit a smiling face.

Seeing Barkley say this, he simply added: "Charles, what I said to you just now, in fact, it is a little upset for you, I am a little sad, I can't bear to see you like this, think about it, even if you win the championship in Houston, what can you get?" Can you imagine what people who don't like you say about you? ”

"Before you even came, Houston won the championship! What if you don't win the championship? Since you've come, we've never been able to win a championship again! ”

"You have to spend your whole life in such public opinion and doubts! Charles, if you believe me, if you consider me a friend......"

Lin Tian said this, the person disappeared again, he suddenly accelerated and shook off Barkley, rushed towards the inside line of the Rockets, Cole, who sent the out-of-bounds, saw the opportunity and passed the ball directly into the inside, Lin Tian received the ball and resisted Willis, who could not react, jumped up to make a huge pull-up layup, and scored another 2 points for the team!

"Charles, where did we just go? Oh yes, if you consider me a friend. "Or do you say that Lin Tian has a thick skin? He just sneaked up on one, and in less than 3 seconds, he immediately changed his face again, as if the person who had just sneaked up was not him.

"After this season, whether you win a championship or not, you leave the Rockets immediately!" Lin Tian looked at Barkley sincerely and said: "Go to play in a team that is very strong, but has not won the championship!" Only then will people stop talking about you if you win the championship in a new team! ”

"People will forget the fact that you are running around and changing teams everywhere, and people will see you as a real champion! Think about it, Charles, my words, but very seriously! ”

After Lin Tian said this, Barkley really fell into deep thought, he stopped talking to Lin Tian, although he still worked the court, still played seriously, and could score points from time to time, but he just stopped talking.

3 minutes later, the coaches of both sides changed their players on the field at the same time, and the starting forces of both sides returned to the court, and Lin Tian no longer played against Barkley, but returned to the outside.

With Olajuwon on the court, the Rockets once again controlled and mastered the rebound, and because Olajuwon's 213 cm tall stature could also well contain the Bulls' fast passing and advancement after grabbing the rebound, the Bulls' fast offense that had just played disappeared again.

But tonight, whether it is Jordan or Lin Tian, the two of them have a very good shooting touch, one for you and one for me, constantly punishing the Rockets' squatting defense in the middle distance, while Tomjanovic sees his team's mid-range becoming the Bulls' backyard, but he is always unwilling to change his defensive strategy.

Because he knows that if he doesn't change his defensive strategy, that is, he can't prevent these two points, and if he changes his defensive strategy, even if the team is going to leak everywhere, he will be completely blown up by the Bulls!

In this way, at the end of the first half, the two sides temporarily tied 51:57!

The Bulls took a 6-point lead!

In terms of data, Lin Tian performed comprehensively tonight, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Jordan scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, the highest score in the game.

In addition, Pippen scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Kerr also hit 2 3-pointers to score 6 points!

On the Rockets' side, Olajuwon scored 17 points and 6 rebounds, Barkley scored 12 points and 5 rebounds, and Drexler also scored 11 points, and the Big Three scored 40 points together in the half, once again showing what the core combat power of this team is.

When the whistle blew at the end of halftime, Lin Tian originally wanted to leave the court directly, but he didn't expect Barkley to stop Lin Tian.

"Lin, what you just said to me, don't you mean ......" Barkley looked tentatively at Lin Tian, waiting for his answer.

What did I just say? Which sentence?

For so many nonsense words he just said, Lin Tian really had no impression at all.

Nonsense trash talk, who can remember it so clearly!

But who is Lin Daguan? A top genius with acting skills to win the Oscar!

So, he looked at Barkley, and the doubts and curiosity in his eyes disappeared for a moment, replaced by firmness and trust: "Yes Charles, that's what you think!" Trust me, you can't go wrong! ”

"So, do you really want to team up with me next season and compete for a championship?" Barkley looked at Lin Tiandao with some emotion: "Don't you think I'm a loser and an old fat man who wants to compete with me for the championship?" ”

What? The overall winner? With you?

Lin Tian really couldn't react this time.

"I know, it's early to say this, but Lin, I decided to believe you! Whether I can succeed with the Rockets this season, whether I can win a championship or not, I'll wait for your news in the offseason, no matter which team you choose to go to next summer, as long as you still want to team up with me at that time, I'll go! ”

"I still get a basic salary! I'm not short of money, I've never been short of money! I just want to be respected, I just want people to know that I'm no worse than Michael and Hakim! ”

Speaking of this, Barkley patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, nodded firmly at him, and then turned towards the player's tunnel, leaving Lin Tian with a confused face.

What's that? Do I have an All-Star caliber teammate? Or is he willing to take only the basic salary?

"Lin, what's wrong? What did Charles say to you? This idiot won't be inviting you to join the rocket! Jordan also came over with a skeptical look at this time, he knew better than anyone that the Bulls would definitely lose Lin Tian in the next offseason, and they would definitely not be able to match the contract offered to Lin Tian by other teams.

No way, the rules are like this, who let the Bulls not have Lin Tian's bird rights?

Therefore, Jordan also knows very well that this season, as long as he has ideas about Lin Tian and wants him to join the team, he will definitely do everything he can to find all opportunities anytime and anywhere to recruit Lin Tian so that Lin Tian can join them!

If the group of bastards recruiting Lin Tian in front of Jackson and Jordan during the All-Star period last year was more or less joking, then this year, when Lin Tian officially started and his ability was significantly improved, their recruitment of Lin Tian will only be more straightforward and fierce!

Even if he knew that Lin Tian's departure was an unavoidable and unsolvable problem, Jordan definitely couldn't stand it, those old bastards, poaching him in front of him!

At the very least, before the end of this season, no one is allowed to blatantly rob people!

"No, he didn't let me go to Houston, and unless I was stupid, I would never have joined a team like Houston, where old men are in a group and don't have a future or hope, I'm so young, of course I'm looking for a young team to continue playing!"

"Well, that's pretty much it." Jordan nodded, then looked at Lin Tiandao again: "FUXX!" Can't you just hide it? You're not going to say you're never going to leave the Bulls and you're going to play for this team forever? What about your work ethic? ”

"Unless you learn from Patrick Ewing next season and sign a one-year $3 million contract to make room for the team to sign me, how can I stay? Is it true to sign a one-year salary and take a child labor contract for another year? ”

Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, Jordan is a smart person, and there are some things, he is too lazy to play tricks in front of Jordan: "Both of these things are impossible to happen, so it's only a matter of time before I leave the Bulls, this matter, we don't need to discuss Michael, our goal is to win another championship!" It's that simple! ”

Having said this, Jordan knew that it would be useless to keep talking, so he nodded, patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, and walked into the players' tunnel first.

What Lin Tian and Jordan didn't notice was that not far behind the two of them, Phil Jackson was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up.

"These two guys are so honest that people want to curse." Jackson shook his head, as someone who shares Riley's goals and wants to take full control of a team, he knows all too well about the rules of salary space.

This season's salary cap is $24 million, and according to the current NBA development situation, the NBA salary cap next season is likely to be between 26 million and 28 million.

And even if the salary cap for next season is 28 million, the Bulls account for 120% of the team's salary cap with Jordan's 30 million annual salary contract alone, and it is impossible to renew Lin Tian's contract.

And what if Jordan really develops his style next season and Xueyoun signs a contract with an annual salary of 3 million or even less? Jackson thinks: It's still no fun! If Lin Tian was bent on asking for money, then they still had no possibility of signing Lin Tian!

As of now, the Bulls have 6 people under contract next season, namely Hubble, Rodman and Hokukoczy, one person can take 4.5 million, plus Longley's 3.2 million, Hopippen's 2.8 million, and Winnington's 1.8 million, these 6 people alone will use up the Bulls' salary space of more than 21 million next season!

Even if Jordan signs a 1 million one-year contract, the team fills the player roster with base salary players to comply with the rules, so far, the Bulls' salary space is only about 3 million. Anyway, Jackson believes that this is a fool's dream!

Players can negotiate a friendship price with the team, and they can sign smaller contracts at a lower price to keep the team competitive, but there are limits to that.

You let a person who can take 10 million take 9 million, that can be discussed, but you let a person who can take 10 million take 3 million? Lin Tian doesn't slap your face, it's considered that he has a good temper!

Of course, the Bulls can also use trades, free gifts, etc., such as sending Hubble, Kukoc, or Longley away, to clear up salary space for Lin Tian and open a 10-million-level contract for him.

But in this way, the team's competitiveness may fall to the bottom all of a sudden, and it will be even more difficult to win the championship!

At the end of the day, it's a matter of the rules, and the cap-on-to-cap renewal allowed by Bird's treaty requires the player to be with the team for three years before it takes effect.

And Lin Tian just only played for two years and did not meet the trigger conditions of the Bird clause.

It would be nice if the rules were changed.

Changing the rules?

Thinking of this, Jackson's eyes lit up!

This, maybe there's a play!

In order to keep Bird with the Celtics and maintain the popularity and topicality of the yellow-green hegemony, Stern added a Bird clause to allow Bird to renew his contract with the Celtics.

So today, let Stern come up with another 'Lin Tian clause', so that Lin Tian can continue to stay with the Bulls and maintain the intensity and topicality of the Bulls, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, Jackson decided that in his free time this season, he would have to study the strategy carefully to see how to get Stern to agree to add such a clause so that Lin Tian could stay with the Bulls reasonably and legally!

Jackson's wishful thinking can be said to be very good.

But the only thing he didn't expect and expected, and the biggest obstacle to the emergence of the new rules, was Stern himself!

Stern, I'm afraid he is the last person in this league who doesn't want Lin Tian to continue to stay with the Bulls!

The reason is also very simple: he believes that the existence of Jordan and Pippen has caused Lin Tian to fail to maximize his potential and attract fans to the maximum!

As an important step in Stern's globalization plan, Stern dreams of wanting Lin Tian to be the boss of a new team, to play as beautiful statistics and results as possible, and get rid of the shadow of Jordan and Pippen! Only in this way can Lintian's commercial value and popularity be maximized!

Therefore, in fact, there is now a discussion within the league about Lin Tian and the second contract of Lin Tian's second-round show who played an amazing performance.

The league needs to protect the interests of players and the parent team of such special players, how to balance, how to specify a new rule, has been the league's top topic recently.

In Stern's mind, he actually had some basic ideas and plans for a long time, but Stern had already made a decision.

Before Lin Tian's new contract is heard, and before Lin Tian makes a good decision to complete the transfer, he will definitely not let this new rule land!

He is aimed at Lin Tian, and he is aimed at the bull!

He doesn't want a super team like the Bulls to continue to exist, and he doesn't want a player like Lin Tian to be the third in the Bulls all the time!

Not to mention that once Lin Tian transfers, just the story of his grievances with the Bulls and Jordan and the story of fighting the old master again, Stern can hype it for at least 5 years!

That's all white silver!

From Stern's point of view, Lin Tian can only maximize the interests of the alliance when he leaves the Bulls!

Therefore, the Bulls can only be wronged!

Of course, the Bulls players don't know these little ninety-nines in Stern's heart, and their current focus is all on the game!

The Christmas war with the rocket has officially entered the white-hot stage!

The two sides have now played the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter!

The score between the two sides is 89-92 for the time being, and the Bulls still have a slight three-point lead.

But the bad thing for the Bulls at the moment is that Rodman just got his sixth foul and was knocked out by Barkley, who was in great form tonight!

Barkley, who stood at the free throw line, made his first free throw steadily, narrowing the gap between the two sides to 2 points!

Off the court, Jackson kept shaking his feet, and then, before Barkley made his second free throw, Jackson made his choice.

"Steve, get on the field! If you have a chance, just shoot! Then tell Forest, Michael, and Scott that then we're going to shrink the defense, play dense defense, and no longer pursue fast offense, but protect rebounds and inside as our number one goal, you know? ”

"Understood!"

Cole nodded and walked straight to the court.

As he got on the field, many fans at the scene let out an exclamation!

Because the five people on the Bulls are now on the court, they have actually become Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan, Lin Tian and Kerr!

Facing the Rockets, who are likely to have the league's No. 1 interior line, the Bulls actually released a five-out lineup at this time!

Jackson's boldness is really extraordinary!

Tom Janovic on the opposite side watched Jackson make a substitution, and after a little thought, he also made a move, and he took Ocella Harrington!

A striker who is also just announced by the team this year, with a height of 206 cm and a burst of physical fitness but rough skills!

And before that, Harrington didn't play for 1 minute tonight!

After Harrington came on the court, the Rockets' lineup changed to Olajuwon, Barkley, Drexler, Eddie Johnson and Harrington.

This lineup, a complete five lineups! Among the five players, the shortest is actually 198 cm Barkley, and the remaining four are all over 2 meters!

Moreover, the Rockets lineup does not have even one genuine guard on the court, four forwards and one center in the five people.

However, no one will worry about their organization and passing, after all, when a team has a big three, many things in their team will be simple!

Anyway, when the game came to the last 5 minutes, the coaches of both sides began to fight head-to-head!

Jackson's centerless small man lineup against the Rockets' five lineups without guards!

At this time, Barkley hit his second free throw steadily, and the difference between the two sides was only one point!

91:92！
