Chapter 151: Beating the Referee? Mona Lisa opened a bottle of pure raw!

"Oooo My God! What we saw! ”

"New Flyer! Brand new trapeze! ”

"Michael Ell Lim!"

"Crazy Stagnant! Terrifying gliding distance! At this moment of Lin, Drexler's soul possessed! ”

"It's horrible! What did I just see? ”

The fans and DJs at the scene all fell into a frenzy because of Lin Tian's ball!

Ultra-long gliding distance, perfect turning timing, strong confrontation ability and core strength, plus an almost unbelievable feel.

Together, these things are Lin Tian's incredible whistle layup!

"This one! Definitely a work of art! Lin's ball can be called the Mona Lisa on the basketball court! It's gorgeous! It's so imaginative! Let's watch it again, no, watch it 10 more times! Who is going to tell our choreographer, don't put ads during the break! ”

"Let's put Lin's layup! Play on a loop, play all the time! ”

Marcus, who was also commentating on the game tonight, fell into madness again! This whistle ball is so strong that he is incoherent!

Then, something happened that made him even more incoherent -

"Lin got up from the floor! He's going to celebrate! Let's see what kind of move he will use to celebrate this flawless round! What moves will he use to match this round that will go down in history? Let's see, Lin, Lin punched! Is he going to celebrate with a Void Jab? ”

"His direction, his direction seems to be a little wrong! Worst! Hit! Lin hits Crawford! ”

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from Lin Tian's fist!

After Lin Tian made the layup just now, the whole person lost his balance, and then, the first time after he got up from the ground, he opened his big mouth and cheered wildly, then clenched his fists, turned around and swung out behind him!

Looks like he wants to vent his excitement with a jab punch that slams into the air!

This type of celebration is not uncommon.

When Jordan threw 'the shoot' that eliminated the Cavaliers in the playoffs, he still jumped up and threw a combination punch into the sky!

And the 21st century audience is most familiar with similar celebrations, as well as Maddie's turnaround hook after 35 seconds and 13 minutes, as well as a set of Ruti chuck's serial punches after Tyson Chandler completed a fatal block, and Boozer's severed son and grandson punch after hitting 2+1 during the Bulls period, are all similar and similar celebrations!

Lin Tian's moment, to talk about it, the amplitude is more like Jordan's, the whole person is completely stretched, and he uses all his strength at a glance.

In terms of momentum, it is more like Chandler's, all of them open their mouths and celebrate and roar to their heart's content, and in terms of chic and demeanor, they are more like Maddie's!

Well, in terms of results, it's more like Boozer's, behind him, there are also people standing!

Crawford let out a scream and fell to his knees!

Lin Tian's punch almost knocked out his overnight meal!

Crawford fell to his knees, retching and coughing, feeling like his internal organs were tangled together.

"I didn't mean to, I swear." Lin Tian squatted beside Crawford and said, "I really didn't want to let you cut off your children and grandchildren, I really didn't want to beat you." ”

"Didn't hit it!" Crawford endured the severe pain, and after saying a word, he felt that his breath almost didn't come up, and he sat on the floor again.

I'm glad I didn't hit it.

Lin Tian swore that he really didn't see Crawford behind him, and he was startled just now.

What's going on, suddenly a big black mouse appeared behind him.

Lin Tian almost stumbled for himself.

At this time, the doctors on the field had already run into the court quickly, and they wanted to check if Crawford was okay, and Lin Tian kept looking at Crawford.

What to do?

I thought of it, but I still need to take revenge on him?

If not, isn't that in vain?

But if you continue to use it, it seems a little inhumane!

It's all pumped by itself!

Looking at Crawford's miserable appearance, Lin Tian kept scratching his head, thinking about whether to apologize?

But at this time, the fans of the entire United Center were already laughing, and at this time, the big screen at the scene was playing Lin Tian's whistle lever over and over again, and then, so immortal, every time the picture would be frozen at the moment when Lin Tian punched Crawford in the stomach.

Even Marcus and Smith in the CBS live broadcast room can't help it at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were both veterans who had worked in the commentary industry for more than ten years, they would have to hold their stomachs and laugh at this moment.

It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

What do you say about the image of hitting an epic layup and then giving the referee a punch?

It's as if the Mona Lisa, after smiling, suddenly picked up a bottle of pure raw, bit it open with her teeth, and then shouted, "Yo! We're all brothers who have a good life together! ”

Anyway, it's very disobedient!

But no matter how much it violates, it just happens, and in the next 20 years, whenever someone looks back at Lin Tian's wonderful 1-on-4 layup, they have to take another look at the picture of Lin Tian angrily hitting Crawford's stomach

What is the contrast cute?

This is the contrast moe!

"You say, did Lin do it on purpose? Was his punch to avenge the technical foul he inexplicably ate in the first second of the game? Marcus suddenly smirked and threw the question to Smith.

"I think instead of making up for Lin here on purpose, let's go and see what Crawford will do now, will he give Lin a second technical foul and send him off the court?"

How could an old man like Smith be so easily fooled, he quickly gave a near-perfect answer, turning all the audience's attention back to the game.

At this time, Crawford was already rubbing his stomach and stood up with a pale face, he walked to the monitor step by step, turned on the replay, and watched.

Once, twice, three times.

Crawford looked at the surveillance footage of the previous round over and over again.

The audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV also watched the replay on the big screen in the center of the stadium over and over again.

The more closely Crawford looked, the happier the fans laughed.

Otherwise, why is it said that the core of comedy, he is a tragedy?

This punch is the best proof!

After watching the replay of the monitor more than 20 times, Crawford finally turned around, found the technical desk personnel, and said his penalty.

"2 points valid!"

Gone!

That's it!

Crawford watched it 20 times, and only saw that Lin Tian's goal was indeed shot before the lights came on, so it definitely worked!

As for Lin Tian's punch......

Crawford looked at it more than 20 times, but couldn't find any evidence to prove that Lin Tian was intentional.

Because Lin Tian didn't look in his direction from beginning to end, he did look like he was randomly waving his fists in celebration.

Anyway, no matter whether Crawford admits it or not, this punch, he can only think that Lin Tian is unintentional.

After all, even if it was a punch, it was an accident after the game time was over, and Crawford really couldn't find an excuse to give Lin Tian another technical foul.

After all, according to the rules of the NBA and the basketball world, during the game, the referee is a non-existent wall of air, and any basketball or player touching them will be treated as if they only touched the air.

Since Lin Tian couldn't find evidence that it was deliberate, Crawford could only endure it.

At least, it didn't hurt the children and grandchildren, did it? Even if Crawford doesn't have much of a need for it......

During the break in the first quarter, Cowens didn't say anything to Rice this time, and he felt that Rice hadn't been beaten enough hard.

He had to be beaten a few more times before this guy could know his good intentions.

Not to mention the almost 30-point difference at the end of the first quarter, instead of wasting energy here to think about how to recover the score, it is better to lie flat and let the Bulls wake up Rice completely!

Cowens has even made up his mind to prepare, if Rice can be woken up, can wake up and listen to him play, then Cowens will study some useful tactics, and go to the Bulls and Phil Jackson to teach well, even if they really can't beat the Bulls and are swept, Cowens also believes that the future prospects of this Hornets team must be bright!

But if the Bulls can't wake up Rice, if this guy looks like this for four consecutive games, then he will resign at the end of the series! He doesn't want the rest of his salary! is such a dead brain, and if he continues to coach, Cowens feels that he must have a life to make money and not a life to spend!

He's going to be!

In order not to be by Rice, the first thing Cowens did was to stop talking to Rice, and at the same time, not to give Rice a chance to talk to himself!

Let's go on the court and get abused!

Lao Tzu doesn't bother with that!

fell behind by nearly 30 points in the first quarter, the team's first core was completely locked by the opponent, and the performance was no different from that of an undercover agent, and the head coach was completely flat and didn't think about how to close the score.

Needless to say, the outcome of the Hornets in this game can be guessed.

In this game, Jordan finally didn't score another 50 points, but he once again only needed 3 quarters to shoot 18 of 22, 1 of 1 3-pointers, and scored 37 points without a single free throw! Although the shooting rate is still above 80%, at least Jordan tonight did not score 50 points.

The only good news for the Hornets is probably that Rice didn't break the NBA's all-time turnover record tonight, but he just didn't.

He ended up with only 10 turnovers, tying the NBA playoffs for first place with Kevin Johnson in '88-89 and Anfernee Hardaway in '93-'94!

Aside from a nightmarish 10 turnovers that didn't set a new record, the Hornets really didn't have any good news tonight......

Rice continued to head the game and made a performance that completely distorted the United Center basket: only 1 of 15 shots, and only 3 points in the game!

Jordan's close defense, coupled with the Bulls' team-wide tacit coordination, supplemental defense and rotation defense, made it not feel like Rice played a game in Chicago tonight, but like going to hell for a spin.

It's so miserable!

Even Rice, even if he was extremely confident before tonight, even if he dared to yell at Jordan during the game.

After this night, he finally quieted down.

As Cowens wished, he was finally instigated, and Rice finally began to think about whether he shouldn't play like this, whether he had made the wrong choice.

At least, in the post-game press conference, Rice didn't say anything more about I'm going to blow Jordan, I'm going to let the world know my name, know I'm not worse than Jordan or anything like that.

The war of words between him and Jordan has finally come to an end slightly.

Jordan himself had no interest in chasing the Reservoir Dogs, especially the Reservoir Dogs who were so embarrassed and so defenseless by himself, and he hardly answered the reporters' questions about Rice.

Bullying the weak, just come once in a while, chase and beat every day, it's a bit boring.

After another comfortable two-game winning streak at home, the Bulls have won 13 games in a row since last year's Eastern Conference Finals, and they have not lost in four series, and the dominance of this team has become more and more frightening and frightening.

And what they have to do next is to bring this fear and oppression to Charlotte, so that Charlottes can feel the horror of Jordan and the Bulls up close!

At this time, the Charlotte Hornets are in the home training hall, and the Hornets are preparing for their first practice after returning to their home court.

At this time, Cowens did not rush to start training, but sat on the chair, looked at Rice and said: "Glenn, let's talk about it, after playing such a bad performance in a row away from home, what do you think of our next two games at home." ”

"Coach, I'm confident! I still believe we can win! At the very least, we haven't lost a single home game, and we still have a chance to pull the big score back to 2:2 at home! I believe that my brother and I can do it! ”

Looking at Rice's confident and resolute eyes, Cowens couldn't help but nod.

This guy, although he has a tendon, a small brain capacity, and likes to deceive himself, and he can't see his position clearly at all and has no self-knowledge, but at least he is very good in terms of desire to win and self-confidence!

At the very least, when the Hornets are now disheartened and everyone wants to end the season and start a vacation, Rice still maintains a very strong desire to win!

Don't waste yourself spending so much energy on him!

As long as there is progress, then everything is easy to say!

Next, it's up to me to see how Cowens uses his tactics to play two games with the Bulls in Charlotte! Let the world know that we Charlotte Hornets are definitely not persimmons to pinch!

"I already know why we lost the first two games!" Rice patted his chest and said: "I lost because I was too high-profile, I lost because I was too public, I provoked Jordan and the Bulls too much too early, so that they were well prepared and studied my style of play, so I will repeatedly fall into their defensive trap!" ”

Cowens listened to Rice's words and kept nodding.

This kid, that's good!

Otherwise, failure is the mother of success?

"So! This time I didn't give any interviews before the game, I didn't say even a big word to the media, I want the whole world to think, I'm scared, I'm scared! In this way, the Bulls will take it lightly! ”

"Well said! That's it, Glenn! Remember, temporary failures are not terrible, they will only be a stepping stone on our way to success! It will be the most wonderful scenery on our way to success! The more painful the failure, the sweeter the success! Glenn, I'm glad you recognized this! ”

"Thank you, Coach!" After Cowens's encouragement, Rice became more confident and said: "Therefore, the Bulls will definitely not play any high-intensity targeted defense against me in the third game, they will definitely take it lightly, at this time, if you pull away and let me continue to play Jordan alone, I will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and beat Jordan with his head!" ”

"That's ......," Cowens said halfway through his sentence, and then his eyes widened and he looked at Rice in disbelief.

What did you just say about this idiot?

Am I too old to have auditory hallucinations?

"Coach, do you think I'm right!" When Rice saw Cowens looking at him, he thought that Cowens was impressed by his courage and self-confidence, and immediately asked with a smile.

"Rock Candy Sydney Walking Hammer on you!" Cowens angrily yelled, "Are you sick in the head? Do you even know how to play basketball? If you like to fight alone, you can play tennis on a horse or simply go to the boxing ring! What a ball to play here! ”

"Challenge Jordan and challenge Jordan! Are you brainless? Can't you see that Jordan can blow you up with one hand? Can I hang you up and whip you casually? You two are not players of the same level at all! ”

"You, in the end, when, can recognize, this!"

Cowens's voice grew louder and louder, and finally it even turned into a roar, and he roared at Rice, "You idiot! If you want to continue losing by 5-60 points in two consecutive games at home, then you keep giving me singles! But if you still want to win, a damn idiot, then give me an obedience! ”

"Understood! Be obedient to Lao Tzu! Play under Lao Tzu's command! And not to provoke what the damn Jordan! Got it? You can't beat him! Lao Tzu repeatedly, you rookie, you can't beat Jordan in this life, you know! ”

"Teach... Train? Rice never thought that Cowens, who has always been elegant and calm, and personable, could burst out with such a big series of crazy roars, and he was a little confused by the roar, and he tentatively said: "Coach, in fact, I can try again, even if it's a section?" ”

"Try a fart! You're going to try, right? Yes! I'm quitting now! I'm not going to serve you anymore! I'm going to go to management right now and submit my resignation! Then, you can fight as much as you want, okay? If you're happy, you can be a coach yourself! Is that possible? "Cowens has completely entered a state of rage, and he roared at Rice.

"No, Coach, I'm willing to listen to you." Les was horrified by Cowens's almost crazy roar and ferocious attitude.

He swallowed his saliva and confessed directly.

"I will fight whatever you tell me."

Cowens gasped, looked at Rice, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he also scolded himself in his heart.

FUXX! I knew it was so simple, I knew that a roar would solve the problem, and I yelled at you at halftime in the first game! Roared at that time, maybe it's 1:1 now!

But fortunately, it's not too late!

In addition, from the evening of the end of Game 2 of the series between the two sides, the league finally stopped holding back, and they began to announce the major awards of this season's regular season one after another!

Moreover, as soon as it was announced this time, it was announced together with many awards!

First up were two management awards, Best Manager and Best Head Coach.

The best manager was awarded to Donnie Walsh of the Knicks, who overhauled the team after taking office, sending away Mason Jr. and welcoming Houston and Johnson to make the team more powerful and balanced!

Of course, the biggest reason why he can win this award is actually for Ewing to sign the one-year contract of 3 million! Although he couldn't wait for Jordan in the end, Walsh's move directly saved the Knicks owner at least 15 million! What boss wouldn't like this kind of general manager?

It's done, the money is saved, and there's no better manager than this!

As for the best head coach award, it was won by Pat Riley of the Miami Heat, who has been changing the team since last season.

He managed to take Mashburn at a low price in exchange for Hardaway 'Beetle', reused two second-year players, Leonard and Danilovic, and also brought in defensive stalwart PJ Brown and recruited veteran Dan Marley.

With a pen operation and reinforcements, a beautiful draft vision and good use of people, Riley only took one year to make the Heat from 45 wins last season to barely enter the playoffs, and become the top powerhouse in the league this year, with the best regular season record in team history of 61 wins!

The name of the god operator resounded through the rivers and lakes again!

Even many people say that it is because Riley's operations started last season and lasted intermittently for two seasons that he missed the best manager and suffered a big loss.

But if last year's and this year's best general managers were combined into one, then Riley would be 100% elected with a high vote!

Maybe it was because he suffered a loss in the selection of the best manager that he was able to get another best coach trophy in the hands of Jackson and Sloan!

It can only be said that everything is human.

Then, the league announced the Rookie of the Year and Rookie of the Year lineup for the season.

With an All-Star level of 23.5 points, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, Allen Iverson was elected the best rookie without suspense!

The best rookie team is composed of Iverson, Rahim, Camby, Marbury and Walker!

Ray Allen, Kobe, Kittels, Knight and Maronny were selected for the best rookie second team!

Then, the Sixth Man of the Year was won by the Knicks' John Starks, and the Best Defensive Player was awarded to the 'African Mountain' Dekembe Mutombo, which was also the second time in Mutombo's career that Mutombo won this award, and more and more people believe that he is the best defensive center in the league today!

and the best defensive player, which has always been the best defensive team for Meng Bujiao, was also announced by the league almost at the same time.

Jordan and Pippen were once again selected together, along with Malone, Mutombo and Gary Payton, who together make up the league's most defensive five.

The second team of the All-Defensive Team is made up of Blaylock, PJ Brown, Anthony Mason Jr., Olajuwon and Stockton.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Tian relied on 1.8 steals per game and also won several votes for the best defensive team, although there is still a long way to go, but at least his name can be seen!

Then the winners of this season's Most Improved Player Award were announced!

As soon as the results of this award were announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the community!

The reason is also very simple, no matter how you look at it, his winners are somewhat unworthy of this award.

The award went to Isaac Austin from the Heat, and 99% of people who said his name would say with a question mark on their faces: Who is this dude.

It's no surprise that no one knows him, because he hasn't appeared in the NBA for two seasons, and the last time he played in the NBA was in the 93-94 season, when he played 14 games with the 76ers, averaging only 5 points and 5 rebounds per game.

After that, he didn't find a job for two whole years, and it wasn't until this season that he joined the Heat and became an important member of the Heat team, averaging 9.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season, and is a complete blue-collar eater.

His award also made many people question the results of the league's selection, after all, after Austin, there are Rashid Wallace, Doug Christie, Glenn Rice and others lined up!

In terms of the pace of progress, the role of the team, the popularity among the fans and the actual combat effectiveness, which of these people is not better than Austin?

Unless the league's selection criteria for selection is that Austin didn't play a game last season, all the data is 0, this season he played a full 82 games, averaging 9+5 per game, the league counted his progress from 0+0 to 9+5, so calculated, then he deserves it.

In addition, in addition to the speculation, the league also gave their explanation, saying that one of the biggest criteria for the selection of the most improved player is the unexpected huge progress! This award is for players who you can't imagine they can actually improve.

As a result, the progress of people like Rashid, Christie, and Rice was summed up by the coalition and voters as 'expected progress', while Austin was 'unexpected progress', so the award was given to Austin.

But no matter how the league explains it, this award has caused huge dissatisfaction and a lot of discussion among fans, and almost no one thinks that Austin deserves this award!

There is even speculation that Austin is not Stern's illegitimate son, so he can get an award that he definitely shouldn't have won under the protection of his father.

Of course, in the selection of this award, the most noteworthy thing is that the player who ranks second is Lin Tian!

This season, Lin Tian averaged 18.3 points, 9.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game, and no matter how you look at it, he has entered the ranks of first-class guards! There are definitely no more than 5 playmaking guards in the league who have better stats than him!

Compared with last season's 15.2 points, 4.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals, Lin Tian's scores increased by 3.1, assists increased by 4.8, rebounds increased by 1.8, and steals also increased by 0.2.

Not to mention that when Lin Tian led the team alone this season, he also played a perfect data of 27+10 in a single month, not only led the team to win all, but also was selected as an All-Star and won the MVP of the All-Star Game!

Whether it is the extent of improvement or the record of his team, or the exposure and highlight moments, Lin Tian is obviously the 'fastest improving player'.

It's a pity that the only thing he doesn't meet may be the inexplicable rules of the alliance.

As a player who won the championship last season, Lin Tian's progress is obviously 'expected progress', which also made him unable to surpass Austin, and can only be relegated to the second place of the most improved player!

When the fans were frantically denouncing, and even racial discrimination was brought up to talk about it, it was Lin Tian himself, who was dispensable for this award.

MIP only, not MVP, with or without, there really is not much difference!

If the MVP of any year is snatched away from him by the alliance like this, then it can't be said, Lin Tian will have to spray it well, and there will be a wave of tongue battles!

Now, it's just the most improved player, nothing to say!

Not to mention that although this award sounds very powerful, Lin Tianke is very aware of the curse under this award!

Maddie, O'Neal Jr., Arenas, Simmons, Ellis, Granger, Brooks, Paul George......

These talented guys, which one was not attacked by serious injuries within two years after winning the award, in this group of people, there are no less than 5 unlucky ghosts who have been reimbursed for the entire season because of injuries alone, and have taken a year off!

This award is really not to be won!

Then, on the night before the start of this game, the league may feel that so many awards have been released anyway, or maybe it thinks that since you all spray the award selection of the most improved player, then we will come up with a hard product that is more worthy of your fans' arguments, and let you fight for it!

After all, my dignified NBA, can I make countless fans blush because of an Austin and MIP fight? What a shame! If you want to quarrel, go and quarrel for the lineup of the year! This is worthy of the image and strength of our NBA!

So, the Team of the Year is officially released!

Just one day before Game 3 of the series between the Bulls and the Hornets, one of the biggest cliffhangers of the regular season this season was revealed!

The first is the First Team of the Year, with Hakim Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Grant Hill, Michael Jordan and Tim Hardaway all selected.

These five people were selected for the first team of the year, which can basically be regarded as expected, except for Hardaway's data is a little flat, and he is not the team boss in the Heat, which leads to a slight controversy in the selection, the remaining four can be said to have no controversy.

The second team is Patrick Ewing, Scott Pippen, Glenn Rice, Gary Payton and Mitch Richmond.

In fact, there is basically nothing to dispute about this lineup, and the five players are either the dominant players or the second leaders of the top teams.

Perhaps the biggest controversy is that Payton and Hardaway are about the same personal data, Payton is better defensively or the team boss, and many people think he is more worthy of the first team of the year!

Then the third lineup is Shaq O'Neal, Vin Baker, Anthony Mason Jr., Anfernee Hardaway and Lin Tian!

To be honest, the controversial part of this lineup is also not big, except for Lin Tian, who has been a famous star in the NBA for a long time, whether it is data or record, it is definitely worthy of a position in the best team!

But Lin Tian's selection is somewhat controversial, because the person who was squeezed out of the best team by Lin Tian is none other than the NBA veteran guard, John Stockton from the Jazz!

In fact, compared with these two people, in terms of data, Lin Tian's 18+9 is better than Stockton's 14+10, which can be regarded as a tie, but the Bulls have 70 wins in hand, even if the Jazz have 64 wins, but the Bulls always have a slight advantage.

It seems that it makes sense for both men to be selected for the third team.

But many fans feel that Stockton has a higher status, deeper qualifications, and is the second leader of the Jazz team, which is more important to the team, while Lin Tian is only the third leader of the Bulls, and his importance is far less than that of Stockton.

Of course, there are also many fans who think: Lin Tian's performance is more brilliant, his performance in January's absence when Jordan is not there, Stockton has never played in his life, and at the same time, he averages 4 more points per game than Stockton, but only 1 less assist, even in terms of data, Lin Tian is better!

For a while, discussions about who is more worthy of the best lineup between Lin Tian and Stockton can be seen almost everywhere, and the major media have seized the time to carry out various programs before the start of the game, which has made Lin Tian and Stockton who is more worthy of the best lineup extremely hot!

Finally, when the time came to the next day, when Stockton and Lin Tian appeared in Los Angeles and Charlotte respectively, countless reporters couldn't wait to rush towards the two people, they wanted to ask these two people's opinions on the best team!

Facing reporters, Stockton looked very indifferent, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care, I've been in the best team many times, I don't need to be selected to prove my strength, everyone knows how good I am, Lin was selected, it is well deserved." ”

"So, do you think Lin is better than you and more deserving of the Team of the Year?" How could the reporters have let Stockton go so easily and immediately dug a big hole for him.

In the face of this obvious pitfall, Stockton, who thinks highly of himself, didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "Lin definitely deserves to be in the annual lineup, but if you ask me who deserves to be selected, I will definitely tell you that it's me!" I'm better than Ring, I'm better than anyone else to be in the best lineup, it's just that I don't care at all! ”

Stockton's words are light, but every reporter can see the unwillingness in his eyes, and they can also see that this old guy is definitely not as indifferent and free as he looks!

He cares a lot! It's just that, as an old Jianghu, there are some things that I am really embarrassed to say.

Almost at the same time, Lin Tian was also caught by the media outside the Spectrum Center Arena in Charlotte, and in the face of almost the same question as Stockton, Lin Tian's answer was full of aggression: "I deserve any honor!" I have this confidence, I don't care what other people think. ”

"If someone doesn't agree, then get on the court first, we're here, we're in Chicago, we're going to win all the way!"

"Someone is not convinced? No problem! If you have the ability, stand in front of me, let's compete on the court! I am confident that I will defeat all the challengers! I have the confidence to overturn all those who think I am unworthy! If some people don't accept the old, if some people feel that they have better qualifications, they should be in the annual lineup. ”

"Then I can only pray for their stupidity, that they will be smarter, and not say stupid things about status, seniority, and seniority in the arena of competitive sports! If you are experienced and old enough, have you forgotten that we still have Parrish in our team? ”

"He's a living fossil, he's the oldest guy in the Alliance! With him here, can we just claim the championship trophy? ”

Lin Tian and Stockton's hostile speeches made many people feel a burst of excitement! In particular, the Jazz and Bulls, as the No. 1 seeds in the East and West, and now both leading their opponents 2-0, have a good chance of meeting each other in this year's Finals!

Now, more and more people are looking forward to the meeting of the Bulls and Jazz in the Finals!

In Charlotte's visiting locker room, Jackson once again sat comfortably at the table in the middle of the locker room, this time with no tactical board, no television, and no technical statistics.

Jackson just sat there and said, "If this old guy Cowens wasn't an idiot, the Hornets would definitely not play with us in a near-suicidal way in this game like they did in the last two games, and they would definitely start playing the right basketball." ”

"It's the offensive tactics they relied on to survive in the regular season."

"To put it simply, Rice is the main point of attack, but he doesn't have too much ball, basketball is more often in the hands of Divac near the free throw line and point guard Boggs, what the Hornets are best at, in fact, is not a single, but after the whole team pulls away, take advantage of their ability to shoot and fully open up the space on the court."

"Use passing and range to attack and mobilize the opponent's defense, use blocking and strategy to find space for shooters, they can shoot too many people, which will make us unable to find their real strength and main point of attack, we dare not let any of us go, which will make our defense line very long!"

"Regardless of the other, their shooters will find a lot of opportunities, or direct shooting, or breaking through the trend, or blocking and then cutting into the air, which is the real skill of the Hornets!"

"So, in this game, we no longer target Rice, but hit people and mark people, everyone finds their own defensive object, don't get distracted, don't lose it, communicate in time on the field, meet their cover, according to the situation, shout out!"
