Chapter 162: Lin Tian who is worthy of the crazy robbery of most of the alliance!
"Steve, the 45-degree angle on the left is the most accurate place for you." Before walking onto the court to prepare for kickoff, Lin Tian suddenly grabbed Cole and said to him: "I remember that your shooting rate at this point this season is as high as 57%!" β
"yes, it's my favorite shooting area, what's wrong Lin?" Cole was a little curious, at this time, Lin Tian asked what he was doing with this.
"If you were given a chance, would you be able to shoot here?"
"Are you insulting me?" Cole snorted and looked at Lin Tiandao: "At any time, in any position, as long as it is a reasonable shot, I will not have any hesitation, I will definitely throw the ball, and I am 100% confident, I can shoot!" β
"I knew you could!" Lin Tian nodded at that position and said: "Wait for the round to start, I don't care what position you are in at the beginning and what you want to do, when I start to break through, I want you to appear here, and then prepare to catch the ball, and hit the lore!" Got it? I don't want to play overtime with them! β
"I'm going to take out the Miamins in regular time, I'm going to make them fall right here! 3οΌ0οΌ Tonight, it must be 3:0! β
"I see." Cole nodded and said, "I'll be here, as long as your ball can be passed, I'm sure I can hit!" β
After communicating with Kerr, Lin Tian stretched his waist, and then walked straight to the Heat five-man group who had just walked onto the court.
Mourning, Brown, Mashburn, Marley, Hardaway.
"Hey, you five, are you going to wait a while to be exterminated here?" Lin Tian said as he pointed to the 45-degree angle on the left side of the 3-point line that he had just agreed with Cole, with a provocative expression.
"What kid are you talking about? You're going to kill us here? Mo Ning was the boss of the team in the end, and stood up and looked at Lin Tian with an angry face: "Who do you think you are, Larry Bird?" Do you think you can say anything? β
Also confused, there is Cole.
Isn't it, you, Lin Tian or a person? Just let me stand here and wait to shoot the lore, and you will go and preview the tactics of waiting? If there is someone to defend it, then I will still vote for a P!
Cole knows his own knowledge very well! He knows that he is a pure shooter, defended and undefended, and the shooting percentage is far away, if the Heat team is here in advance and let one person wait here to defend the lore, then Kerr can score a fart lore!
"I'm so much more handsome than Bird!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said easily: "In short, this is it, 3 points lore!" We're not going to play overtime with you, and tonight, I'm going to get you off work early! β
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he didn't say much to this group of Heat players, but walked to the top of the arc, ready to catch the ball.
At this point, the referee had already walked to the sideline, and after everyone was in their positions, he blew the whistle violently and gave the ball to Kukoc, who was waiting to serve.
Hearing the whistle at the beginning of the game, Lin Tian immediately began to move quickly, first slashing from the top of the arc to the basket, and then suddenly changed the line when he came to the free throw line, and ran towards the 3-point line on the wing, which was the 45-degree angle that Lin Tian said just now!
Seeing Lin Tian running in that direction, the nerves of the entire Heat team suddenly tensed.
No way? This kid is really so arrogant, saying that he wants to kill here, just kill here?
Marley chased Lin Tian's pace faster, he wanted to bypass Lin Tian to prevent him from catching the ball, and at the same time he went into battle with both hands, grabbed Lin Tian's clothes and arms, and prevented Lin Tian from speeding up.
Mashburn next to him didn't hold back, and unconsciously moved two steps in that direction, so that he could help defend at any time.
"Fuck you!" When Lin Tian was about to get close to the 3-point line, he finally got a little impatient, stretched out his arm, and pushed it towards Marley's chest, pushing the guy and staggering, almost failing to stand firm.
It was at this moment that Lin Tian found the space to catch the ball, jumped out suddenly, and reached out to receive Kukochi's pass, and the position of receiving the ball was the position he predicted to kill just now!
Bend your knees, raise your hands, and aim!
After Lin Tian received the ball, he directly made a shooting pose!
Mashburn next to him reacted too aggressively, and jumped up directly, wanting to block Lin Tian's shot!
Unexpectedly, Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and turned around, turned directly from Mashburn's side, and rushed into the inner line!
It's really a lie!
Sure enough, it's a trick!
Mo Ning under the basket couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he watched Lin Tian rush towards him!
But then, the thoughts in Mo Ning's head made him a little scared!
The reason why he breathed a sigh of relief was not because he was confident that he could defend against Lin Tian.
It's because Mourning thinks that as long as he doesn't foul, the Bulls can't overtake the score! At most, it's overtime!
As for preventing Lin Tian? In Mo Ning's mind, this idea never appeared! Tonight, all his self-confidence was really gone!
This very pessimistic mood made Mo Ning feel extremely irritable, he suddenly roared, moved a step sideways in front of Lin Tian, and shouted at the same time: "Come on, Lin!" Look who's afraid of whom! β
Also shouting and rushing at Lin Tian were Marley, who had just been pushed away by Lin Tian, and Mashburn, who was shaken away by Lin Tian!
These two people, one left and one right, suddenly chased after Lin Tian, plus Mo Ning in front of Lin Tian, they were about to form a three-person package for Lin Tian!
Then, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand disappeared!
At least from Mourning's point of view...... It was Lin Tianshang who dribbled and rushed towards him in an instant, and when he blinked, the basketball was gone!
And Marshburn and Marley, who were behind Lin Tian, were also in a trance! Just now, they seemed to feel some orange, lightning-like thing flying past their ears!
By the time Mo Ning and the other three finally reacted, that thing was a basketball just now, and when they looked back, it was already too late!
Kerr received the basketball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and there was not a single Heat player within a 3-meter radius of him!
A super big vacancy in the absolute sense of the word!
Instead of rushing to make a shot, Kerr looked up at the basket.
Unhurriedly, he adjusted his breathing and recalled the past when he was in high school.
At that time, there was a guy who looked very similar to Ewing and said that he would lead himself to dominate the country, and there was a guy who looked like Lin Tian with amazing physical fitness and was the ace of their high school team.
There is also a genius who won the state MVP in junior high school but mistakenly entered the gang, and he didn't play basketball for two years, oh! There's also a rebounding king on that team with weird hair color!
This is all Lao Tzu's youth!
Cole wanted to reminisce about his youthful years, but unfortunately, he didn't have 10 minutes to reminisce about his entire high school career, and he only had less than 2 seconds to adjust his body, because Hardaway next to him had already rushed over like a desperate person.
"The left hand is just holding it gently." After Cole finally silently recited a sentence from the fat coach in high school, the secret of shooting, he finally pulled it up and threw the ball!
The entire American Airlines arena was completely silent the moment Kerr made his move, and everyone's eyes widened to see if the goal that would have been related to the team's entire season was in the basket.
The first one who felt that it was over was Hardaway.
He's the closest to Cole, and even when Cole makes a move, he's already in a defensive position!
But Hardaway knew that Kerr did not interfere with this ball at all, whether it was the shape of the hand when shooting, the overall posture when shooting, the balance of his body or the extremely confident light in Cole's eyes, Hardaway felt that this goal was probably going to be scored.
Lin Tian and Rodman under the basket did not stupidly look at whether the basketball was scored, but turned around and stuck the Heat players behind them for the first time, Rodman resisted Mourning, Lin Tian stuck Brown, if this goal does not score, the rebound will most likely come to the hands of the Bulls.
It seemed like only two seconds later, and it seemed like a whole century, and the basketball finally flew to the top of the hoop, and then ......
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Kerr's desperate 3-pointer fell into the basket accurately!
130οΌ129οΌ
Bulls, overtake the score!
There are only 9 seconds left until the end of the race!
Kerr's desperate three-pointer allowed the Heat, who had maintained the lead for most of the entire fourth quarter, to fall from heaven to hell in an instant!
Throughout the American Airlines Center, there was a burst of gasping cold air.
They were expecting a win tonight, and they thought they would have won easily without Jordan and Pippen.
But the reality is so cruel!
Such a remnant Bull actually pushed the Heat team into a desperate situation!
A desperate Riley called out for the team's last timeout.
This is also the last chance for the Heat, and in the last 9 seconds, they need to hit a shot!
"Everybody pull away, Tim, you and Jamal block and dismantle, it's better to switch to you and Kukoc, you go and find a way to break through Kukoc to get points!"
Riley's brain is actually very fast, and after being tortured by the Bulls' endless blocking and dismantling in this game, he decided to treat him the way he did in the last round of the game!
He's going to use the dislocation after the pick-and-roll to deal with the Bulls!
"If there is no chance to change the defense, if they fill the gap in the first place, then Alonzo, you come up and cover Tim, Tim, you go straight to the basket and attack Luke Longley! Complete the layup! β
"Longley's strength is definitely not as strong as his stats, he doesn't need you to be afraid at all, to impact him, to kill him! Go play the inside line of the Bulls! No matter how good they are tonight, the interior and basket protection are the biggest problems for this Bulls team! Go to the impact, go to the breakthrough, and at worst you can get a free throw! β
"Don't shoot, especially don't shoot 3-pointers! I know you've hit 6 3-pointers tonight Tim, but don't shoot a 3-pointer! We're only one point behind, rush in, use a more efficient and surefire way to get points, how's that, is there a problem Tim? β
After Riley finished speaking, Hardaway nodded very firmly and said, "Coach, trust me, I can do it!" β
On the Bulls' side, Jackson looked at his teammates, first praised Kerr, and then he lifted his glasses and said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken......
After this almost mantra-like opening statement, Jackson said unhurriedly: "They will give the ball to Hardaway, let Hardaway finish the last offense, and, with Riley's character, he will definitely not let his players shoot long-range 3-pointers or long 2-pointers, their first choice will definitely be to impact the basket!" β
"Also, Riley is a 'god operator', and his head is awesome! He's probably going to emulate us and come up with a couple of pick-and-rolls to attack our weaknesses on the defensive end, and yes, I'm talking about Steve and Tony, you two, and you guys won't have to play in a minute. β
"Brian, you and Ron are on the pitch together to strengthen our defensive confrontation! Everyone, guard against your own people, don't allow people to leak, don't allow you to run away, communicate at any time when you encounter cover, I want everyone to shout, remind your teammates at any time, and keep communicating with your teammates! β
"Go, it's the last turn! Hold this turn, and then I'll take you out in style! Tonight, we're not taking Michael and Scott! Let those two bastards reflect in the hotel, desperately waiting for us to go back! β
Lin Tian was the first to stand up and said, "Tonight, squeeze Phil's wallet dry!" β
"Squeeze your wallet dry!"
"Spend 1 million!"
"Let Phil beg!"
"Drink him mortgage the house!"
"Blow up his credit card!"
β¦β¦
The players were more and more excited at this time, and they shouted that they wanted to kill Jackson well, and for the excitement of the disciples, Jackson just squinted and smiled, and didn't say a word.
The more the players are like this, the more confident they are now!
The more it shows that they have completely boosted their morale tonight!
Jackson believes that the Heat's last offense will definitely not go in!
Soon, when the timeout ended, Riley glanced at the five people on the Bulls walking onto the court and was immediately stunned.
Then Riley scolded angrily, with a look of frustration and regret.
He actually forgot that the Bulls can still make substitutions!
Such a low-level mistake, such a basic change of formation, he actually forgot it!
The tactics he just laid out didn't involve the Bulls going to make substitutions at all!
He really forgot!
The 'God Operator' has been thoroughly calculated! No...... It should be Riley himself who calculated himself!
At least, tonight's duel between the two top coaches in the league basically ended in Jackson's complete victory!
It's a pity that the Heat don't have any timeouts now, Riley doesn't have the time and opportunity to correct the low-level mistakes he made, and he can only trust Hardaway, Mashburn, and Mourning now.
There is nothing else he can do!
"Tim, I'm kind enough to advise you, you'd better not make a move." Lin Tian, who walked on the court, looked at Hardaway and said, "Although I guess your coach will most likely let you execute this attack, for your own good, you'd better choose to pass!" β
"Because you're going to be capped off by me!"
Hardaway bit his lip and didn't speak, but used one arm to prop up Lin Tian's defense, wanting to catch the ball to execute the last attack.
The referee blew the whistle from the sidelines, and Brown sent the ball quickly to Hardaway, who ran to the halfway line.
Hardaway held the ball all the way forward quickly, and when he came to the outside of the 3-point line, the first cover of the Heat team came up, Mashburn blocked Lin Tian sideways, Hardaway used the cover to quickly open the distance with Lin Tian, but what appeared in front of him was the Bulls' defensive giant, and the team's defensive ability was second only to Jordan Pippen's outside player Hubble!
A few feints failed to shake off any space, but the attack time passed quickly, and there were only 4 seconds left in the blink of an eye!
Fortunately, Mourning also rushed over at this time, and the second line of defense designed by Riley also came to Hardaway's side.
The two of them were dismantled as soon as they blocked, and this time, Hardaway finally faced Longley, who was not moving fast, and he immediately accelerated the pace of the dribble, and rushed in with his head down!
Longley's speed and movement were not fast enough, he couldn't keep up with Hardaway's speed at all, and he was completely left behind by Hardaway's two changes of direction! The smug Hardaway pushed forward again, and was about to aim for the basket to complete the attack, when he suddenly felt a light in his hand!
The basketball that I was holding in my hand suddenly disappeared!
But although the basketball is gone, Hardaway's 3-step layup has not stopped at all, as if he is doing some strange performance art, and the whole person has made a coherent action of stepping, jumping, and shooting for the basket without a basketball.
This whole set of movements, except for the lack of basketball, everything is so smooth and beautiful!
At this time, the basketball had been held in Lin Tian's arms, and then when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the excited Lin Tian used all his strength to kick the basketball into the air!
Win!
Without Jordan and Pippen, in the face of the full Heat, the Bulls won a hard-fought battle on the road!
Cole, Hubble, Longley, Kukoc, Rodman......
Almost all the Bull players, at the moment of the end of the game, completely released their passion, rushed towards Lin Tian, and then pounced on Lin Tian one after another, crushing him to the ground!
Although it was Kerr who hit the killer three-pointer, everyone knew that tonight's game, the Bulls could win it, relying on Lin Tian alone!
"The Bulls won! The Bulls won! Marcus excitedly yelled in the CBS studio: "Who would have thought that this would be the case? Who would have thought it would be such a game? The remnants of the Bulls actually defeated the Heat! β
"Still in Miami! Remember this night! Remember this game! This will be a rare classic battle in the history of the NBA, and it will be a battle that will go down in history! This is the best interpretation of defeating the strong with the weak, and it is also a declaration from the Bulls to the world! β
"With Jordan and Pippen, we're the strongest ever! Even without the two of them, we're definitely not some kind of rotten team that will collapse at the touch of a button! β
"Not bad! Let's remember tonight's heroes, and let's remember all they gave to us tonight! Smith looked at the latest technical stats, a tremor in his voice.
"Steve Kerr, who hit the ultimate shot, made seven 3-pointers tonight and scored 24 points! In addition to the lore ball, he also has a crucial 3+1! β
"Luke Longley, who hit 20+10 data in the playoffs for the first time in his career, completely blew up Alonzo Mourning tonight, he scored 26 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks! Tonight's Longley is definitely the league's top center! β
"And Toni Kukoc, who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and he also showed us the finesse, versatility and versatility of European players!"
"Don't forget Dennis Rodman, who scored only 6 points but grabbed 21 rebounds! He single-handedly turned the Heat's interior line upside down! Whether it's Mourning or Brown, there's nothing he can do with his rebounding sense! β
"Of course, there is also Williams, who started tonight and scored 7 points and 6 rebounds despite only playing 11 minutes, and Ron Hubble, who scored 5 points and contributed many beautiful defenses! Everyone contributed everything they could! β
"And, the most important thing that cannot be ignored, played epic statistics, and almost the whole court faced the Heat's bag but was always at ease, playing with the Heat's entire defense, breaking several historical records, and showing ......the superstar style with the last pass."
"Lin Tian, who scored 38 points, 25 assists, 10 rebounds, 7 steals and only 4 turnovers!"
"Tonight's Lin delivered a game-high 25 assists in NBA playoff history! At the same time, his 38 points also made him the first person in NBA history to score 30 points + 20 assists in a single game! This record, I want a long time before someone breaks it! β
In particular, in the crucial fourth quarter, or in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, when the Heat relaxed their defense against Lin a little, Lin immediately showed what it means to score explosively! 13 points in a row! Lin Tian used his offensive frenzy of scoring 13 points in a row to save the Bulls from the quagmire of falling behind by 10 points! β
And at the last moment of the game, when the Heat team refocused all their attention on Lin, Lin was able to find his teammates calmly and accurately, assist Kerr, and complete a desperate blow! And in the last 1 second of the game, he cut off Hardaway's dribble and ended his inevitable layup! β
"Attacking individually, defending, organizing attacks, commanding the whole team, boosting morale, hitting opponents with trash talk. Tonight's forest makes people unable to find fault with anything! He played a perfect game! β
The two commentators hissed for the final commentary, such a heart-wrenching game is destined to make countless people remember for a long time, and it is destined to become one of the most exciting games in NBA history!
And after the Bulls played such a wonderful performance, the players of the Heat team, one by one, were like frosted eggplants, some sat on the floor for a long time and did not want to get up, some covered their faces with towels, did not want to believe the facts in front of them, and some even left tears and blamed themselves for this loss.
In this game, in fact, the Heat played well enough, Hardaway scored 12 points again in the fourth quarter, and scored 41 points and 8 assists in the whole game!
Also setting a new career playoff high was Mashburn, who scored 12 points in the final quarter tonight and scored 30 points in the game, and he continued to crush Kukoc in the low post and maintained an excellent hand all night, and once scored 7 points in a row in the fourth quarter, almost helping the Heat take the game away!
Coupled with Leonard, who hit 5 3-pointers and scored 20 points, the three main players of the Heat teamed up to score 91 points! This firepower is not far behind the Warriors' 'RUN-TMC' back then!
However, they still lost the game!
Perhaps, Mourning, who was blown up by Longley and only scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in the whole game, has to pay the biggest responsibility.
It was he who was completely blown out by Longley and did not play his value as a super center when Jordan and Pippen were not there, which allowed the Bulls to win the game and win the match point!
Of course, within the Heat team, no one will definitely criticize Moring, because they all know that if it weren't for Mourning's efforts, Jordan and Pippen would not be absent tonight!
It's just that there is no way to say these words to the outside world.
But no matter what, no matter who is to blame for the loss, the Heat have lost their best chance, and now the big score has become 0:3, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated by the Bulls.
No one would think that a team losing to the Bulls without Qiaopi can bring any suspense to the Bulls and this series.
In the arena, Lin Tian finally got out of the madness of all his teammates, flashed out of the layers of arhats, and then he yelled at Cole, Kukoc, Rodman and others who were still lying on the ground: "You bastards! Don't rush over like this next time! β
"Lao Tzu thought of the celebration and pretending to be POSS, but none of them stepped on the horse and didn't put it out! As soon as I made a preparatory move, I was knocked down by you! A bunch of bastards! β
After waving an iron fist at his teammates, Lin Tian felt a thick palm on his shoulder.
Mo Ning patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said, "We played very well, we lost convincingly, let's see you in the next game!" We're not going to just throw in the towel! β
Maybe it was because he knew that Lin Tian couldn't say anything good in his mouth, but after patting Lin Tian, this iron man turned around and left directly, without giving Lin Tian a chance to spew trash talk at him.
Just after Mo Ning left, Hardaway also walked towards Lin Tian.
It can be seen that this guy is nine times out of ten, and he wants to show his demeanor like Mo Ning.
But Lin Daguan, how could he give him such an opportunity?
"Alonzo just invited me to Miami next season." Lin Tian opened his mouth to say nonsense, and pushed back the little smile that Hardaway had managed to squeeze out.
Just when Hardaway was a little overwhelmed and didn't know whether to turn around and leave or stay where he was, Lin Tian smiled again and said: "Okay, I'm kidding, Alonzo didn't say that, although you were completely blown up by me and became the background board for the strongest point guard in history and the strongest single-game performance, but you played okay." β
"Alonzo isn't the kind of heartless person who wouldn't say that, but Pat said that to me! Just after the game, you can ask him, and he said he's going to do everything he can to get me to Miami, and if possible, he's going to start a sign-and-trade and use you plus a couple of picks and other additions to get me. β
βFUXXοΌβ Even though Hardaway knew that Lin Tian was talking nonsense, he just couldn't help but want to curse.
Lin Tian, what kind of bastard is this?
What's the difference between trading me in front of me and having couch exercises with my wife in front of me?
There is no difference at all!
And the reason why he was so angry was because he knew that what Lin Tian said was right!
Whether it is Mourning or Riley, if there is really a chance to trade himself to get Lin Tian, these two guys will definitely agree without hesitation, if Mourning will still save face and will not be so ugly, Riley will definitely tie himself up directly and throw him on the plane in Chicago.
Going late, what if the Bulls regret it?
How can you say this feeling?
That's the kind of feeling that although Hardaway's wife didn't cheat, Hardaway knew that as long as Lin Tian hooked his fingers, his wife would definitely climb into Lin Tian's bed.
This horse rider is 10 times more uncomfortable than being directly bullborn!
I'm not green yet, but I'm actually green.
SchrΓΆdinger's Minotaur!
Hardaway snapped a middle finger at Lin Tianbi, then turned around and left.
With his back as he turned away, the system finally rang again.
"Tim Hardaway has a mood swing and drops the permanent ability: Killer Beetle LV1 (0/2000)."
"Killer Beetle LV1: Increases the host's dribbling ability by 10% and breakthrough ability by 10%!"
Good stuff again!
This thing can make Lin Tian's dribbling even more incomprehensible!
You must know that Lin Tian now has the top speed in the league, or the only speed in the league, but at such a top speed, his breakthrough has never been considered the top in the league, especially in the 1-on-1 breakthrough, Lin Tian can barely get on the edge at most.
His breakthroughs often require the cover of his teammates and the space behind the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for himself to speed up.
The biggest reason for this situation is that Lin Tian's dribbling is actually not top-notch, his dribbling is about average, and he does not have the perverted body and strength of James to allow him to walk that kind of bullish path.
But now, everything is different!
Who is Tim Hardaway?
Nicknamed 'the bug'!
Some say it's bug, describing him as short but strong, but a more plausible explanation, apparently his breakthrough and dribbling, unsolvable like a bug, is like a hole in the court!
Magic, Bird, Barkley, Drexler...... Countless league bigwigs have praised Hardaway's dribbling, saying that Hardaway's dribbling and breakthrough are something they are willing to pay for tickets to watch and will not get bored of watching it all day long.
And Hardaway's signature 'killer change of direction', that is, a small and rapid double change of direction after dribbling under the crotch, led the trend of the entire 90s, before Iverson's set of wide opening and closing, fierce and explosive style appeared and caused a sensation, Hardaway's change of direction is the most popular trick in the United States and even the world!
Countless young people will imitate his dribbling, and countless NBA stars will study Hardaway's dribbling and turn it into their own movements.
But now, this set of things belongs to Lin Tian!
Lin Tian's ball control and breakthrough ability can definitely have a qualitative leap!
Lin Tian looked at Hardaway's back and saluted him.
Just thank Hardaway for his selfless dedication!
Representing the Heat at the press conference after the game were Mourning and Riley, both of whom looked lost their souls, and as soon as they sat there, reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions.
In the chaos, Mo Ning stretched out his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet first, and then said lightly: "The responsibility for tonight is mine, I was completely blown up by Longley, this is the worst, worst and most difficult game I played in my career, the responsibility for losing is mine, I didn't take on the responsibility of the leader, I'm sorry for this team." β
"I'm sorry for the trust of the manager and my team-mates, but also for disappointing the fans in the whole city, and I'm willing to accept all criticism! But what I'm going to say is that the series isn't over yet, and I know it's just going to make people laugh at it and think I'm talking about it, but the series is not over. β
"We will continue to defend our dignity, and we will continue to fight for victory! See you in the next game! β
Mo Ning's words made Riley, who has always been cold-blooded and ruthless next to him, couldn't help but bite his lip, because Riley knew better than everyone that if he hadn't asked Mo Ning to pour Jordan's wine, even if he would have lost tonight, Mo Ning could definitely walk out of the arena with his head held high! He can definitely continue to blow up Longley.
But now, because of Riley's decision, Mourning has not only lost the game, but also lost his dignity.
But Mo Ning did not complain and consciously took all the responsibility.
I, Pat Riley, will definitely win a championship for the Heat and for Mourning in this life! Certain!
Compared with the heaviness of the Heat press conference, at the Bulls' press conference, Lin Tian and Jackson were naturally giggling and full of excitement.
"Congratulations on such a perfect, unexpected victory! Lin, if Michael is right in front of you right now, is there anything you want to say to him? β
"Team safety, don't read it, don't be in a hurry to come back!" Lin Tian looked at the reporter with a smile, the experience of dealing with reporters in the past two years told Lin Tian that this guy asked like this, it was absolutely bad!
"So why didn't Michael and Scott come back? When will they come back? As soon as the reporter saw Lin Tian's words, he immediately followed and asked!
After all, although the reporters scattered out that night, trying to find the real reason for Jordan and Pippen's absence, they did get a lot of news, but now no one knows whether the news is true or false, and there is no way to determine what the situation of these two people is!
"Gotta ask Phil." Lin Tian threw the pot to Jackson without hesitation and said, "Phil knows." β
Seeing that all the reporters were looking at him, Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said: "They violated some small discipline in the team, so I banned them, it's as simple as that, they don't have any injuries, they don't have any danger, if they admit their mistakes in a good attitude, they will come back for the next game." β
As soon as Jackson's words came out, the reporters sitting below were stunned.
Is there really someone who bans two of the league's top superstars for violating a little discipline?
How small is this 'little discipline'?
If it's really small, can you be banned in the Eastern Conference Finals?
If it's not that small, is it enough to ban only one game?
"What mistake did they make, Phil? Some people say that these two guys fell out in the locker room because of gambling money, and they directly pulled out their guns to confront each other! A reporter finally couldn't help it and threw out the question directly.
After this question is raised, it is called a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!
All the reporters immediately blew up.
"Some people say it's Pippen who slept with Jordan's mother!"
"There were also people who said that Pippen slept with a woman, and as a result, the defendant raped her, and Pippen said at the police station, 'Michael did it too,' so Jordan was also arrested in the bureau."
"I heard that Pippen and Jordan offended the gang in a bar, and the two of them were stabbed 11 times together!"
"You're stupid! How to return to the next game after being cut 11 times? The two of them quarreled because Jordan said that they leaked their mouths, right? Pippen took Jordan to find happiness, and as a result, Jordan took a video and told Pippen's wife, so the two of them are now completely falling out, right? β
"You're not right! The real reason is ......"
The reporters were still arguing with each other, Lin Tian and Jackson looked at each other, and then stood up at the same time with full tacit understanding, and then opened the door of the press conference, and ran away directly before all the reporters reacted!
Guess for yourselves! We don't go with you!
As for what 'little mistake' did Jordan and Pippen make to be suspended for one game?
Wait for the next game and ask them to go! Let these two guys worry about themselves, Lin Tian and Jackson, they didn't bother to ask for half an hour about the crazy questions they were asked by reporters here!
Similarly, after this game, Nelson Sr., who has been recuperating in Oakland, called his agent: "Christie, turn down the invitation from Dallas first, I'm not going to Dallas." β
"Why Don? It's not like you asked me to help you find a job in the league, and you went for an interview, so why didn't you go? Christie asked, what kind of nerve did this old man make?
"I want to see which team Lin will go to in the offseason and then make a decision." Old Nelson was on the phone while watching Lin Tian's game highlights on TV, and his eyes were about to light up at this moment: "I want to coach this kid!" He's amazing! He fits all my fantasies about a playmaking defender! β
"If I can coach him, I will definitely be able to build a dynasty! A true dynasty team! β
At the same time, in San Antonio, Spurs head coach Popovich, who had just finished a trial, was in a good mood! Today's tryout turned out to be even better than he expected.
That young man from Wake Forest actually blew David Robinson out in training!
Gotta get him!
Even if you can't win the champion lottery this year, you have to get a champion lottery if you smash the pot and sell iron!
Popovich drank the last glass of wine in the glass, looked at the two big men in front of him, and said with a smile: "David, Tim, you two can be the best twin tower combination in the world!" And Lin, I'll do everything I can to poach him to the team in the offseason! β
"The three of you are the best trio in the world! We can win countless championships together! We're going to be the greatest! β
Miller, who was on vacation in Hawaii, also made a call after watching the game.
"Larry, you're coming to Indiana next month, aren't you?"
"Yes, Reggie, I'm thinking about how to get the team back on track." Bird's voice came out, he is also the head coach and general manager of next season that the Pacers have just decided and have not yet been officially announced!
"Take down the forest!" Miller didn't hesitate, and said directly: "If you can take Lin, I am willing to accept a basic salary contract!" I can do something else for you if necessary. β
Hanging up Miller's phone, Bird looked up helplessly at the famous 'Cardinal' Auerbach, who was having dinner with him.
"What's wrong? Reggie wants you to take Lin? Auerbach looked at this disciple who had already become famous and was now about to go elsewhere to take office, and couldn't help but laugh: "I really didn't expect that the first thing you did when you took office was to compete with me for a free agent, and I thought that we could help each other and cooperate a few times." β
β¦β¦
"I know, I know you're not going to let me coach or manage the team." In Detroit, 'Smiling Assassin' Isaiah Thomas yelled into the other end of the phone, "But I'm a team celebrity, and I'm not even qualified to give advice to the team?" β
"I don't care if you listen to it or not, I'm going to say my advice: take down Lin! He, along with Grant Hill, can definitely surpass me and Joe's combination! They can become the ace twin guns of the new generation of the league! β
β¦β¦
After such a crazy game, the undercurrent hidden under the surface of the water of the league is surging even more turbulent.
