Strickland's worth plummeted, and the corresponding to him was Lin Tian's worth growth.

Well, of course, it didn't skyrocket, because he was the biggest fish on the free market in the offseason!

Many teams are willing to make a lot of salary space for Lin Tian as much as possible, so as to introduce Lin Tian into the team, and this round of crushing performance is at most to make more teams want to participate in the battle for Lin Tian, and are willing to gamble for Lin Tian!

But those things are not things that Lin Tian needs to think about now, all their goals now are on their opponents in the next round!

There is a big difference between the first round of this year's playoffs and previous years, that is, there are a lot of swept crushing games!

In addition to the Bulls' easy dry bombs, the No. 1 Jazz in the West easily swept the Clippers, and the net win also reached as many as 18 points! Their net score difference is also second only to the Bulls in any first-round series.

The second-place Rockets in the West also swept the seventh-place Timberwolves, and the three Rockets taught the Timberwolves three young wolves a vivid lesson.

The SuperSonics, whose record has declined significantly due to the crisis of infighting this season, have also shown their good strength in the playoffs, and they have also defeated the newly reorganized Phoenix Suns with a score of 3:0, and will face the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals!

The last group of matchups in the West, the fourth and fifth Lakers and the Trail Blazers series, although not swept, but also suspenseful, the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers in the third game after two consecutive games at home, and then in the fourth game O'Neal was a big blow, with a big double-double of 38 points and 21 rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that Kobe Bryant, who scored a playoff high of 22 points in the last game, sat on the bench in this game and only played 6 minutes, except for 2 shots and 0 of 1 point, all the rest of the data are 0!

It's just that not too many people will pay attention to the performance of this high school student, who is now at most the fifth or even sixth person on the Lakers!

In the East, in addition to the Bulls, the Heat, the second in the East, easily swept the Magic, and Mourning showed the ferocity of his league's top center, averaging 25 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocks per game in the series.

It is worth mentioning that in the third game of this series, Hardaway suffered another knee injury and was carried off the court, which is already the third time he has caused a knee injury this season.

Multiple injuries in the same part in a short period of time have cast another shadow over Hardaway's career, which has only played 51 games this season.

The Knicks, who are third in the East, faced the Detroit Pistons led by Hill, and also did not leave any chance for the Pistons, Patrick Ewing used a 66% shooting rate to average 31 points and 10 rebounds per game! This guy, who is recognized as the bottom of the four centers, obviously knows that he will face the challenge of his junior Mo Ning in the next round, so he opened his full state in the first round and was ready for all battles!

Mourning, right? Come on!

The only series in the East that did not have a sweep was from the fourth-place Hawks and the fifth-place Hornets, these two teams were of equal strength and similar playing styles.

In the tie-break battle, the Hornets' Glenn Rice once again showed his strong strength, shooting 17 of 28 in the game, 3 of 4 3-pointers, and 6 free throws, and scored 43 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, leading his team to the Eastern Conference semifinals!

Here they are going to face the league hegemon, the Chicago Bulls!

It was after this life-and-death duel that the confident Les faced an interview with the media and showed a rare domineering spirit in his life!

"I'll take care of everything! I'll lead the team forward! I know I can do that, and I know there's a lot of potential in me! I will continue to prove to everyone that I am no worse than anyone else! ”

"Glenn, are you saying this to the next opponent, the Bulls?" A reporter sniffed the meaning of Rice's words and immediately began to dig a hole.

The reporter originally thought that he would have to dig a few more times and dig a deeper pit so that Rice could jump in, but he didn't expect that as soon as he waved the shovel, Rice looked disgusted that he was digging too slowly, snatched the shovel in his hand, dug the pit for himself, and then jumped directly into it!

"I say this to anyone! I'm not afraid of anyone! Of course I know how strong the Bulls are and how many amazing things they've done over the last few years, but I would say that history keeps moving forward, and the NBA keeps improving. ”

"The era of the previous generation has almost passed, and the current alliance belongs to us! I'm going to prove in the Eastern Conference semifinals that I'm no worse than anyone else! ”

"Anyone, is that Michael Jordan?" The reporter picked up a lid and didn't need Rice to say yes, as long as Rice said something ambiguous or something that would make him take it out of context, the reporter immediately closed the lid! Fill in the holes, and then pick up a good pre-game war of words!

But what the reporter didn't expect was that Rice continued to take the initiative this time, grabbed the lid and covered himself in the pit.

"Yes, I'm talking about Jordan! I've watched his first round and that's it! I gotta say, Jordan is obviously old, and he's not even the guy we fear the most on the Bulls! What we're most worried about is actually Lin! We're worried that we won't be able to match the speed of Shanglin! ”

"So Glenn, will you face Jordan in the Eastern Conference semifinals and lock him up? Do you have the confidence to continue to play like tonight with Jordan's defense and prove that you are the best shooting guard in the East? ”

When he saw that Rice, who was bursting with self-confidence, opened his mouth and was about to say, 'Yes, that's right', little Anthony Mason, who had been sitting next to Rice, finally couldn't help it.

He grabbed Rice's shoulders, grabbed the microphone and said to the reporters, "Let's see you in the game!" No one knows what's going to happen until the game starts, does it? ”

After Mason finished speaking, he didn't give Les any chance to resist at all, half-dragged and half-hugged, and forcibly dragged Rice out of the press conference.

But honestly, it's too late.

Journalists get enough to write an entire page of news!

Rice's provocation of Jordan and the Bulls can certainly be completely correct and spread to the ears of the Bulls.

"What are you doing Anthony! You're afraid of bulls, aren't you? Why are you afraid of them? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid at all! I'll kill them! Rice struggled all the way, and finally broke free from Mason Jr. in the aisle, looking at the big brother of the team, the tough guy who only transferred from the Knicks at the beginning of the season.

"I'm trying to find a way to save your career, you idiot! Do you know what you just said to the media? Do you guess your words will reach Jordan's ears quickly in 3 hours? Mason looked at Les, and the look in his eyes was no different from that of his own crazy husky.

Pure and pure death!

"I'm just Anthony for him! I'm not afraid of him at all! I'm just going to step on them and win the championship! Les snorted, not feeling that he had done anything wrong, but said, "I know what you people are saying. ”

"The last thing you can mess with in this league is Jordan, and what you can do in the league, but don't off Michael! What else? It's not important, it's important that you're all scared of Jordan! You didn't plant! You're already cowardly! ”

"But I won't! I'm not afraid of him! What I did tonight, I'll do in the second round, time and time again! Until I knocked the Bulls out! ”

After Les finished speaking, he turned around and left the passage in a majestic manner, completely unaware that the way little Mason looked at him was no different from looking at a dead man.

The morning after the press conference, a large number of reporters poured outside the Bulls' training hall, hoping to stop a few Bulls players and continue the war of words.

The person who was caught this time, or took the initiative to stand up for an interview, was Lin Tian.

Lin Daguan drove his coquettish Corvette to find a large group of reporters squatting outside the stadium early, and with his sense of smell, he immediately guessed that there must be another mouth cannon to fight! So Lin Tian happily gave the car keys to a familiar stadium staff, and then swaggered towards the reporters.

"Lin is here!"

"Rush! Don't let him run! ”

"Hurry up! Grab a good spot! This is the number one trash talk king! ”

"God of Wealth! God of Wealth! The God of Wealth is here! ”

"What God of Wealth? This is Plotos! This is our god of wealth! ”

Dozens of reporters surrounded Lin Tian tightly in an instant, and a bunch of microphones were directly handed to him.

"Lin, do you know that Glenn Rice has spoken harshly about you?"

"Do you know that he said that you were the kings of the last era, so there is no need to worry about it at all?"

"Do you know he said he's going to blow you up and advance?"

"Rice said you're the hardest guy on the Bulls team to defend, what do you think?"

"Do you know that Rice said that he wants to play at a 40+ level every game against you?"

"Who will you send to defend Rice?"

"Will you give Les a good look and let him know what he's doing wrong?"

Facing the reporters who were scrambling, Lin Tian raised his hand and said, "Stop!" Everyone, stop and come one by one! You, yes, that's you, repeat your question. ”

The reporter who was ordered by Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "Rice said that you are the most difficult person to defend on the Bulls, what do you think?" ”

That's it!

Lin Tian nodded, he didn't point out the wrong person, and then he said to the reporters: "This sentence, I think Rice is right!" I'm really the hardest guy on the team to deal with. ”

"What about the other parts? What about what else Royce said? ”

The reporters immediately turned on the questioning mode again, and Lin Tian immediately stretched out his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet, and then he smiled and said: "I don't care what else he says, because I'm already thinking about the opponent in the next round!" ”

"Tim Hardaway or Charlie Ward? I'm thinking about who it would be easier to play against in the Eastern Conference Finals. ”

Lin Tian's words made the reporters stunned for a moment, and then they reacted immediately! Pick up the pen and write it down quickly in your notebook!

He is recognized as the king of trash talk of the new generation!

What response could be more hurtful than this sentence?

I'm already thinking about my opponent for the next round?

The taunt is directly full!

After seeing the reporters frantically taking notes, Lin Tian took out his phone and said, "Then, as for other questions, compared to me to answer, I guess you must want to hear Michael answer you in person!" ”

"Of course!"

"But we can't find him!"

"Michael never gives interviews at this time."

"Can you help us communicate the problem?"

"Can you take us into the training gym?"

……

Facing the curiosity of the reporters, Lin Tian pressed down on his palm again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he said: "Keep quiet, I will give you everything you want!" ”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Michael? Where are you? Already in the locker room? Come to the entrance of the parking lot, the gate! What's the matter, if you want to come, you can come, can I let you come if it's okay? Hurry up! Definitely a good thing! When did I lie to you? Hold on! Velocity! Otherwise, it will be too late! ”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he hung up the phone, then looked at the group of reporters in front of him who were completely in a state of confusion, waved his hand and said, "Aren't you still hiding?" When Michael comes over and sees so many people, he just knows that he is fooled no matter how stupid he is, so he doesn't turn around and run? ”

"You all hurry up and hide it for me, and then when Michael comes here, rush out and surround him, and at that time, he will not say whatever you want to ask?"

Reporter, look at me, I'll look at you.

There are many senior journalists who have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and there are also a few real industry celebrities who have covered the Olympic Games.

But Lin Tian gave them this whole play, they really haven't seen it!

No one has ever seen anything like this!

But if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, who can be a reporter, who is slow to respond? After Lin Tian's words, a group of people scattered in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared!

Even Lin Tian couldn't help but admire, this group of people is really condescending to be reporters, to be spies, just this hiding ability, proper top talent!

Less than 10 minutes later, Jordan, wearing a jersey, staggered from the exit of the parking lot and cursed and said, "You'd better really have something, otherwise if I find out you're manipulating me, I'll make you look good!" ”

As soon as he saw Jordan coming, Lin Tian immediately hugged Jordan affectionately and said, "How can I fix you?" Let you come, of course, there is something good to share! ”

As soon as Lin Tian's words fell, reporters who had just hidden behind flower beds, under big trees, behind cars, and in front of chairs rushed out in a swarm!

Seeing dozens of people rushing towards him, Jordan was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot!

But Lin Tian's hand on his shoulder was really tight, even if Jordan's jumping ability was the top level in the NBA, he couldn't break free from Lin Tian's shackles at all.

Fortunately, Jordan saw clearly, this group of people was holding a microphone and a camera in their hands, not machetes and bricks, and he also reacted that this group of people was not here to seek revenge, but to interview his mother!

"Lin! You bastard! You still say you didn't fool me? Lao Tzu will wait a minute...... Where are you going? Come back! Halfway through Jordan's cruel words, he saw that Lin Tian had actually turned around and ran away.

Without looking back, he walked out of the reporter's encirclement and walked in the direction of the stadium.

Then, Jordan didn't have a chance to care about what Lin Tian was going to do, because dozens of microphones had already reached his mouth, and he couldn't wait to put them on his face!

"Michael, what do you think of Glenn Rice's words last night?"

"Will you defend Rice one-on-one the whole time and let him know who's the king of the league?"

"Do you think you're old?"

"Rice said that the new generation is going to seize power, when do you think they will be able to do it?"

"If you were to choose a number two to be your successor, who would you choose?"

The reporters' questions were like cannons, and Jordan was completely drowned out, he didn't have time to see what Lin Tian was doing, and he didn't have time to care, he had to deal with the reporters in front of him first......

30 minutes later, Lin Tian, who was changing clothes in the locker room, suddenly said to his teammates: "Michael is coming back, you better be careful, I bet he is in a bad mood now!" ”

"He was joking with us when he showed up in the dressing room half an hour ago." The honest man Winnington was curious: "How can it be so bad?" ”

"And guess where he's been for half an hour?" Lin Tian changed his clothes and stood up and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the first thing you have to do in today's training is to stay away from Michael!" ”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he was the first to turn around and walk out of the locker room.

Why did Lin Tian know that Jordan was in a very bad mood and was about to return to the locker room? Because the system gave Lin Tian a hint just now.

"Michael Jordan has a mood swing and drops 300 XP!"

With so many experience points, it exploded all at once, you can imagine how violent Jordan's mood swings are at this moment!

Even Lin Tian decided to hide a little farther, at least, after Jordan's first wave of anger was vented, he would appear in front of Jordan.

Well...... Or go to Phil Jackson.

Just make an excuse and take two days off.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer walked towards the training ground, but walked towards Jackson's office, he wanted to stay away from Jordan in a state of rage, not afraid, purely for world peace!

In order to protect world peace, there is always something to give!

For example, Lin Tian's cecum suddenly hurt.

"Where's Lin?" Less than 3 minutes after Lin Tian left the locker room, Jordan with a gloomy face appeared at the door of the locker room, his tone was cold and his face was full of murder, and he looked on the verge of rage.

Jordan's momentum frightened the entire locker room into silence, and everyone stopped what they were doing, but no one dared to answer Jordan's words.

“FUXX！ I ask you! Don't we even have a talking person in our locker room? Are we all dumb? As soon as Jordan saw that everyone was silent, he kicked angrily on the locker closest to the door, directly kicking the entire locker door and completely deforming.

"He's out training." In the end, it was Wen Nington who carried everything, pointed to the door and said, "I just went out, and it was less than 3 minutes." ”

As for Lin Tian, he had already asked Jackson for leave, and then he didn't even change his clothes, he walked straight out of the stadium, found the staff who helped him park just now, drove his car, and flashed quickly.

A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!

Then, less than 10 minutes later, when Lin Tian hadn't even arrived home, the system gave a prompt again.

"Michael Jordan has mood swings and drops 200 XP!"

Needless to say, this is Jordan who couldn't find Lin Tian, and his experience broke out again in a rage.

This famous basketball god, I'm afraid that throughout his entire career, he has never been so angry and manic!

Lao Tzu was actually tricked by Lin? Not only did he play it, but this bastard ran away directly after he finished it?

FUXX！

Lin Tian's leave is two days!

By the time he reappeared on the team, it was already the afternoon of Game 1 of the Bulls-Hornets-Hornets series!

Lin Tian, who walked into the locker room, could feel that Jordan's condition was obviously better, and his anger seemed to have disappeared a lot.

Although he didn't appear in the team in the past two days, Lin Tian didn't read the newspaper less, but he clearly saw that in the past two days, Jordan and Rice's verbal battles have been fought one after another!

"After Rice Wild Words, there was only one person who supported him? Lin Tian bluntly said that he was right! 》

"Lin Tian's words expose the internal problems of the Bulls, they may have long been on the verge of collapse? 》

"Frankly say that he is more difficult to deal with than Jordan!" Lin Tian's mind is no longer in Chicago? 》

"Arrogant! Lin Tian's bold words may be selected into the garbage talk encyclopedia: I am already thinking about the opponent in the next round! 》

"After beating Strickland, can the Hornets' guard line block Lin Tian's impact? 》

Shocked! Industry insiders say that at least 3 teams have prepared offers of more than $100 million for Lin Tian, including the Knicks! 》

"Repeat the old trick! The contract that the Knicks put in front of Lin Tian is definitely far beyond imagination! 》

Well......

Seems to have gone astray?

Actually, no, because these were all reports that Pelinka showed to Lin Tian, and then Lin Tian only saw it from Pelinka's smug expression.

Nine times out of ten, these reports and news are the wind that Pelinka has let out!

For the sake of how much money Lin Tian will get this summer!

"Lin, it's time for you to tell me the truth, what are your plans for this summer? I don't want to work hard for months and end up doing a lot of useless work that goes completely against your ideas. ”

Before the start of the series between the Bulls and the Hornets, Pelinka took the opportunity to deliver newspapers to Lin Tian and came to Lin Tian's house to have a good chat with him.

"First, I will never compromise on money, I want to take a top contract worthy of me; Second, I'm not going to play with the Bulls anymore, I'm going to play somewhere where I'm the boss and I'm the centerpiece. ”

"In the case of these two points as the premise, everything else can be discussed again."

"Understood." Pelinka nodded, indicating that he had received it completely: "Then next, I will continue to build momentum for you, not to mention helping you get a contract of O'Neal's level last year, at least I can't make you worse than that Juwan Howard!" ”

After sending Pelinka away, Lin Tian didn't forget to continue to flip through the newspaper he sent, what he read just now was what Pelinka published in the newspaper through his own relationship, and those things were all to make his market hotter!

And now Lin Tian is looking at all hard goods!

That's the kind of thing, except for not pointing at the nose and scolding the mother directly, he sprays almost everything.

Absolute top hards!

"Rice bluntly said that Jordan is outdated, and the current league belongs to the post-70s! 》

"Jordan said that he will retire sooner or later, but the successor must not be Rice!" 》

"Rice says he's the best swingman in the East, and he can blow up all opponents!" 》

"Jordan said that the Eagles' forward line was blown up in the 80s, and it was not worth mentioning at all! 》

"Rice said that without Lin Tian, the Bulls would not have won the championship last season! 》

"Jordan said that without himself, Rice's mother would not have given birth to Rice! 》

……

In the further part, Lin Tian felt that it was no longer suitable for publication in newspapers, and he could only say that he was wild in the American media, and he really dared to publish anything in newspapers!

It's wonderful!

In short, Jordan and Rice didn't let anyone, and they scolded each other for two days, so that people from all walks of life who eat melons could watch it was enjoyable! Lin Tiandu said that he never thought that this Rice actually had such strong combat effectiveness, and he was no worse than Jordan when he spewed trash talk!

No matter how many people in the market think that Rice is self-defeating and does not know how to advance or retreat, but there are media stirring up trouble and fanning the flames in the middle, and the heat of this round of the series is completely noisy.

At the same time, Jordan's anger was also transferred from Lin Tian to Rice.

Jordan has been watching Rice's game footage in the past two days, in addition to training and spraying wildly at the media! He wants to study this guy carefully and see where he got the confidence to dare to provoke himself like this!

If you don't prevent this Glenn Rice from being a bubble of shit, Jordan won't have to mix in the NBA anymore!

Speaking of the relationship between this Hornets, the Hornets in the future, and Charlotte's other team, the Bobcats, the relationship between them is complicated, and many people can't tell who is who.

Ahem...... It's time for Lin Daguan's small class again!

The current Charlotte Hornets are the beginning of everything, they are a new team to join the NBA in the 88-89 season, and they have only been established for 8 years.

And a few years later, after the 01-02 season, they will relocate to New Orleans and become the New Orleans Hornets.

Then came the 04-05 season, when the NBA expanded again and introduced the 30th team in the league, which was Charlotte Bobcats, which Michael Jordan created as the owner!

Then, in August 2005, New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and the entire city was almost completely destroyed, but by this time, the Hornets could not move back to Charlotte because there were already Bobcats there.

They had to relocate to Oklahoma, where they played for two years on an improvised basis before returning to New Orleans and becoming the New Orleans Hornets again.

Then, in 2011, the owners of the Hornets were short of money and couldn't find a new buyer for a while, so the Hornets were briefly handed over to the league to manage, during which the very famous 'basketball reason' incident occurred.

Then, in 2012, the Hornets finally found a new buyer, and the new owner took over the team and focused on creating a new team culture of his own, and the first thing he did was to change the name of the Hornets to the Pelicans, and the New Orleans Hornets disappeared into history.

Finally, Jordan and Charlotte fans who are far away in Charlotte, because the Bobcats' record has never improved, the team has not been able to succeed in either the draft or the trade, the team has never won even one round of the playoffs, and even their total has only made the playoffs twice!

So, the superstitious Jordan thinks that all this is because the team's feng shui is not good, the team name does not match his own characters, and the local fans in Charlotte have a different kind of feelings for the Hornets.

Charlotte Hornets are back in the league!

But it must be remembered that although they are all Charlotte Hornets, the last Charlotte Hornet is actually the current New Orleans Pelicans, and the current Charlotte Hornets are the former Charlotte Bobcats!

It's two completely different teams with no shared team history and no side to eye!

The Hornets that the Bulls are about to face now are the future New Orleans Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans!

Well, that's probably how it goes!

As the start of the game drew closer, Jackson finally got late, and walked into the locker room with three hours left before the start of the game.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Jackson easily lifted his glasses, and then said with a smile: "I think in this round of the game, I don't need to do anything for you to mobilize and swear, right?" At least Michael, you definitely don't need it, right? ”

"I'm just waiting for the game to start and shred that bastard of Rice!" Jordan's eyes were full of fierce light, Glenn Rice, he really provoked him!

"Very well, so, how do you want to shred him, do you need the help of your teammates? Do you need to help? Jackson squinted his eyes and continued to ask.

"Of course not!" Jordan snorted coldly, as if Jackson's question was insulting him, he looked at Jackson and said, "I will let him know in a 1-on-1 situation that the gap between him and me is farther than the distance from Earth to Mars!" ”

"Excellent! Well, Glenn is over to you, Michael! Jackson laughed and said, "As for the rest of the Hornets." ”

"Their starting power forward is an old acquaintance of ours, the Knicks veteran, known as the New York Vices King, well, of course, now Charlotte Evildoers, Anthony Mason Jr.! Strong, brute force, impactful, able to grab rebounds, and finishing. ”

"I'll get his Phil." Rodman raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Just like every time we met before, I could easily kill him!" The king of evildoers? Paper tiger, I'm going to see if he dares to foul me maliciously! ”

"Excellent! Dennis is good! Jackson continued: "Then there's Divac, a standard European center with a well-rounded skill set, a range that can even reach beyond the three-point line, and a knack for tackling and passing!" The most important thing in defending him is not to prevent him from scoring, but to keep him from leading his teammates to score! ”

"Luke, don't stick to him too tightly, let him shoot if he wants to, but make sure you cover his passing vision and don't let him pass the ball to his teammates easily, you know?"

"I'll do my best, coach!" Longley also nodded, in the 90s, an era when centers dominated and various top centers emerged one after another, Longley, who was considered to be the weakest link in the Bulls' starting lineup, always had to deal with those famous super interior players.

But fortunately, although Longley's ability is indeed not as good as those super centers, he can always do his job well, and never let any top interior player get any exaggerated super data on the head of the Bulls.

"And then, Ricky Pearce." Jackson continued: "He's won the Sixth Man of the Year twice, he's been an All-Star, but at the end of the day, he's got an unknown number of injuries, and he's 38 years old! Now he is a mediocre player in every way. ”

"The only thing to pay attention to is his three-point shooting touch, although his career 3-point shooting rate is only a measly 33%, but in the Hornets this season, he can shoot 1.4 three-pointers per game with 52% 3-point shooting, and in the playoffs, he can still use 42% shooting rate to average 1.3 three-pointers per game, which is definitely the output ability of a top shooter!"

"Scott, watch out for his threes." Jackson looked at Pippen, then opened his mouth again, looking at him, obviously trying to get Pippen to wrap up Rice, but after a moment's hesitation, Jackson still didn't speak.

Since Jordan has already said that he wants to take care of Rice himself, then it will be completely left to Jordan!

"Then, it's their starting point guard, and the shortest player in NBA history, only 160 cm 'bug' Boggs, Lin, are you confident against him?"

"I know he's beautiful on the dribble, he's fast, he's very good at passing, and with his height to play in the NBA for so long, his stamina, mentality and mental attributes are certainly not to be underestimated!" When Lin Tian said this, he suddenly smiled and said, "But no matter what he can do on the offensive end, I will say a word to him." ”

"Kid, uncle is going to start backstabbing!"

For Lin Tian's words, Jackson nodded with a smile, and then continued: "In addition to their starting five, their sixth man should not be underestimated, Dale Curry, although he is a substitute, is the Hornets' No. 3 scorer and No. 1 3-point expert!" ”

"He also won the best sixth man, as long as the basketball is passed to his hand, he can complete the shot immediately! At the same time, he also has a good breakthrough skill, Ron, when you deal with him, you must be careful, not only to pay attention to his 3-point shot, but also to be careful of the smooth breakthrough after he shakes you! ”

After introducing the main players of the Hornets, Jackson looked at the players below, paused for a moment and continued: "The Hornets are a completely different team from the Bullets. ”

"Many of their players have shot above their career average 3-point percentage and 3-point shooting this season! For example, Rice, who can shoot more than 2 3-pointers with a 47% shooting rate per game, and Curry also has a 43% three-point shooting rate! ”

"Including Divac, even though he doesn't shoot many 3-pointers and hits like that, if we really relax, he will really punish us with 3-pointers! And you, Rin, Boggs is really short, and he has never been known in the league for his projection ability. ”

But Boggs is also shooting 41 percent from 3-point range this season! In the first round, his 3-point shooting rate was even as high as 85%! You can score 3 goals per game, which is almost a hundred shots! His 3-pointer can't be ignored! ”

Also, several of their bench players, Tony Decker and Anthony Goldwiell, all have a 3-point shooting percentage of more than 4 percent. There are also Tony Smith, Rafael Edison, and Scott Burrell, although these three guys are all team tricks, waiting for no more than 15 minutes per game. ”

"But each of them has a good 3-pointer! The Hornets' 3-point shooting ability is definitely in the top three in the league! This time, we are facing an offensive team that has a completely different style from most teams at the moment, focusing on outside attack and projection, and then supplemented by an all-round center as the axis! ”

"If you don't do well on the defensive end and just want to fight with them to attack, then you will definitely suffer, and you will definitely be kicked in the ass! Got it? ”

"Understood!" The entire Bulls team of players while answering Jackson's questions.

"Of course, if you really don't want to defend well." Jackson suddenly changed his tone again, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to fight offensively, I am also confident that we will not lose to any team in the league!" But that's not the way I want to win! ”

"To win, you have to strangle what your opponent is best at, so that they can't play what they want, so that you can completely defeat them, so that you can beat the opponent and the entire alliance, and be convinced! Got it? ”

"Understood!"

"Now that you understand, let's go! Give the Hornets a look! ”

As Jackson's speech ended, the Bulls got up from their chairs in the locker room and walked towards the arena at the United Center.
