Chapter 164: Thomas and Ranbier are simple teenagers compared to them!
At the end of May 1997, the moment that fans all over the United States had been waiting for finally arrived!
As fans sit and wait for the historic moment to come, half of the league's top executives are on the television, waiting for what is about to begin and that could affect the development of several teams next season and even in the future.
Celebrities, executives, coaches and even owners of many NBA teams have been on the scene.
While waiting, there were many nervous fans who even closed their eyes and put their hands on their chests in prayer.
After all, next, when it comes to testing the results of their entire year's efforts, there is no room for nervousness.
As the atmosphere of the scene became more and more enthusiastic, with the expectation of countless people, a figure finally appeared on the TV screen, and the breath of countless people tightened in an instant, and many people directly held their breath, they were waiting for the next, that historic moment.
"13th pick in the 1997 draft, Cleveland Cavaliers!" Stern read out the first team name of the night.
Cavaliers fans reacted reasonably well and weren't too disappointed, after all, they had less than a 2% chance of being the top three picks.
Well, it's not the Finals, it's the NBA's annual draft picks!
This place, in a sense, is much more important for each team than the finals, after all, the finals are when two teams compete for the championship, and the draft draw is the weight and hope for half of the league's teams to turn over!
If you can get a champion pick in the big year of the draft, it will definitely make a super bad team turn over directly overnight!
As Stern broke out one after another in the draft, more and more fans wailed, but there were also fans of several teams who kept their excitement high!
"Fourth overall pick in 1997, Vancouver Grizzlies!"
As soon as Stern's words came out, the whole of Vancouver fell into a burst of sorrow and pain!
1997 is recognized as a small year for the draft, and except for the big man, the difference between everyone else is actually not that big!
Or to put it more bluntly: this year's champion is everything!
If you can't get the champion sign, the rest of the signatures are dispensable!
"Third pick, Boston Celtics."
“FUXX!” As soon as Stern's words fell, Auerbach, who was on behalf of the Celtics in the draw, angrily cursed a swear word, and the voice was so loud that it even overshadowed Stern's voice reading out the team's rank: "This old asshole who only knows how to make money!" We've been rotten for so long, and we won't give us a champion sign! FUXX! Lao Tzu will tear you up sooner or later! ”
Grumpy old man, squirting people online!
It's just a tanhua! Auerbach was waiting, hoping to get a No. 1 pick and take down the big man!
It's a pity, the third pick, the person who can be selected, is really not a Celtic revival hope!
Auerbach sighed, he can't get the top pick, he really doesn't have a rookie this year, why don't you try to get the sixth and third, and try to quote the top pick?
Who is the Spurs team, a rookie general manager, flickering, maybe it's not difficult, well, just come like this, let's try to deceive the rookie general manager of the Spurs first.
"Stern, old bastard!"
Auerbach, who felt uncomfortable, couldn't hold back, opened his mouth and scolded again.
The sound was so loud that it could still be heard by more than half of the people in the entire scene.
But......
Well, everyone, including Stern, acted as if they hadn't heard, and everyone had to do what they were supposed to do, and they didn't mean to stand up and accuse Auerbach at all.
You are old and have a high status, high achievements, and high seniority, don't say a few scoldings, really go up and smoke Stern's two big ear scrapers......
Forget it, the old man is so old, and it's really unnecessary to take out another good one.
Calm, must be calm.
"Second pick, Philadelphia 76ers!"
After Stern broke out that the second pick was Philadelphia, the Philadelphia fans let out a huge boo and complaint, how to describe their mood at this moment?
Second place is the number one loser!
Even if the 76ers don't make it to the top three, the fans won't be as disappointed as they are now.
Iverson, who attended the lottery on behalf of the 76ers, also smiled helplessly, who doesn't like that big man from Wake Forest University?
However, before Iverson could express too much frustration, his mood was interrupted, and an old man next to him took him into his arms!
That old man is the guy who drew lots on behalf of a small southwestern town.
It was not only the old man named Popovich who was extremely excited, but also the whole of San Antonio, who didn't need David Stern to read out the final result, and burst into cheers and shouts!
The die is cast!
The champion sign is ours!
Tim Duncan, ours too!
At the scene of the lottery meeting, Popovich couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he excitedly hugged Iverson, whom he didn't know at all and had never communicated with before, and then excitedly shook hands with Grizzlies executives to celebrate, saying "It's a pity, but fourth is also good" and other weird words.
Popovich frantically celebrated that he had won the top pick, and he didn't care about the Grizzlies executives and Iverson beside him at all, he was simply impatient, and with Iverson's temper, he didn't punch Popovich on the spot, even if he knew that it was a national live broadcast today, and suppressed his temper.
What brought Popovich back to his senses and stopped celebrating frantically was not Stern's reading of this year's No. 1 pick, but Auerbach's mocking and murderous eyes.
Just one look made Popovich, who was still a rookie in the management and coaching circles, honest.
He didn't dare offend Auerbach here, or the devil knew what would happen to him.
But no matter what, Popovich, who is about to get Duncan, still can't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Duncan plus David Robinson! If Lin Tian is dealt with again this year, then with Duncan's instant combat power, Robinson's old and strong and Lin Tian's all-round talent, Popovich believes that the Spurs will be the super favorite for the championship next season!
Everything, it depends on whether this kid is willing to come!
How to convince him, and how to make Lin Tian fall in love with the small city of San Antonio?
Why don't you let him and Duncan meet and see if they can get along?
……
With the draw coming to an end, this year's NBA Finals has finally come to the road, and the final suspense of this season's NBA is about to be revealed!
Speaking of which, although this is the first time that the Jazz and Bulls have met in the playoffs, although the two teams have played twice a year, they are not old enemies at all, and there are no old hatreds.
That is, this year, there are suddenly a lot of new hatreds.
Jordan thinks Malone has robbed him of his MVP, Stockton feels that Lin Tian has taken away his Team of the Year, and Sloan has always disliked Jackson's style of bells and whistles and inaction, preferring to control everything in his hands, and even want to shout tactics on the court instead of the players.
The Bulls have played this season with a tactic similar to an all-offense and all-defense, in terms of offense, they are the first in the league, they are invincible in the world when they run, and no one can defend them individually.
In terms of defense, when the Bulls are fully defensive, their 'devil's third quarter' is not afraid to be brought up in the league, and whenever the Bulls raise their defensive intensity in the third quarter, using their up-and-out pressing and quick rotation to block the opponent's ball handlers, they can always quickly see results and play a wave of offensive climax, and then let the game go into garbage time.
It can be said that this year's Bulls, except for the slightly less interesting inside attack, can hardly find shortcomings in other aspects! Many people even say that although this year's Bulls have won 4 fewer games than last year, this year's Bulls are stronger than last year in terms of team integrity and oppression and hard power!
Sweeping the opponent out of the series in 3 consecutive rounds in the East, and the advantage of one round is more revealing!
Although the bullets in the first round were only more than 40 wins, their three-high lineup and five-high lineup of the whole team actually seem to be able to restrain the Bulls' mediocre and weak lineup.
But the result? Not only did the Bullets have no power to fight back, but Strickland, who was in the contract year, was also beaten by Lin Tianshengsheng by half of his value! Originally, Strickland could sign a contract of 5-6 million this year, but after this round of the series, it will be difficult to sign a contract of 3 million.
In the second round against the league's most accurate Hornets, Jordan first beat the provocative Glenn Rice like a kindergarten child, and then Lin Tian chased Boggs's ass and beat him crazy!
In the four games of the series, the Hornets didn't want to resist, they were beaten soft all over their bodies, and only one mouth was still very hard.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, facing the 61-win Heat, the absolute top team in the league, the Bulls are also bloodless, winning all three games, putting the game into garbage time early, and the only game that played to the last moment was the game in which Jordan and Pippen were absent because of violations of team discipline.
The Bulls, who really played an indomitable momentum in the first three rounds, played a feeling that all beings are chickens and dogs, and only I, the Chicago Bulls, can be called a strong team.
Before the start of this round of finals, Las Vegas once again updated the latest championship odds.
The odds of the Chicago Bulls come to 5 to 1, which is almost the same as if you buy $500 for the Bulls to win the championship, then after the Bulls win the championship, you can get $600 with interest.
The odds for the Jazz to win the championship are 9 to 1, which means that if you buy $100 for the Jazz to win the championship, then you are equivalent to losing that $100.
At the same time, CBS also launched a nationwide voting for overall championship predictions.
Forty-seven percent of fans believe the Bulls can sweep the Jazz, 30 percent think the Jazz will make it to Game 5, and only 13% and 7% believe that the Jazz will make it to Game 6 or Game 7.
In other words, only 3% of fans believe that the Jazz can win the championship.
Well, at least 95% of those 3% fans are from Salt Lake City.
The Bleachers, a newspaper dominated by the players' union that often conducts internal voting and statistics of players, also published a questionnaire on 210 active players and 89 retired players.
88% of players believe that the Bulls can win the championship!
Only 12% of players believe the Jazz will be able to win this series.
In the voting that CBS invited its own reporters, directors, and commentators, only 2 of the 27 CBS internal employees who participated in the vote chose to support the Jazz, and the remaining 25 people all believed that the Bulls could win two consecutive championships!
Media, fans, players...... Almost everyone who can have something to do with the NBA, understand the game and watch the game, think that the Bulls can win this series bloodlessly and become the champion of the year!
This kind of prediction, in fact, can't blame everyone for being too crazy, it's not that the Jazz team is too weak, it's just that the Bulls are too strong! They completely beat the Heat team with 61 wins in the Eastern Conference finals, so the Jazz with 65 wins will obviously have no resistance to play.
Everyone felt that the series was just a formality, and after a formality, the Bulls could go straight to the awards.
This one-sided prediction and overwhelming superiority is obviously a huge mockery and insult to the Jazz! Everyone on the Jazz team, from top to bottom, is holding their breath and they can't wait to prove themselves!
You want to prove that you are the best team in the league!
And three hours before the start of the Finals, in the same place, with the same people, and for the same purpose, Jackson once again brought the players together for his final pre-game meeting of the season.
"Jazz, I don't think I need to introduce them too much, the league's number one villain team, led by two nasty bastards, is the roughest and most bottomless team in the league today, and the Knicks and Heat are simply 14-year-old virgins compared to them."
"Their movements are big, their movements are dirty, Malone's elbows, Stockton's black feet and the ubiquitous little movements, these things are much more difficult to deal with and headaches than the real strength they can show on the court."
"The first thing you need to think about when dealing with them is not how to defeat them, but how to protect yourself, because it's not just Malone and Stockton, the notorious team bigwigs, Hornacek, Russell, Ostertag, or the entire Jazz team, you can't find a few clean guys."
"They will do everything they can to provoke you, provoke you, make you lose your cool and get angry, this is their style, and PJ Brown gave Charlie Ward in the Eastern Conference semifinals compared to the style of the Jazz, which is nothing compared to the Jazz's style!"
"Everybody on the Jazz team, doing something like that every minute! They're the villains, the most hated team in the league. ”
"Of course, what they hate is that it's not just these off-the-board moves and small moves, what really annoying them is their dull style of play, and to be honest, even if I'm a coach, I despise their unaesthetic, heavy and lethargic style of play."
"They turned energetic basketball into a passionless assembly line, they yawned for all their tactics, and they played in a way that would make all the fans fall asleep in the arena."
"But I have to say that their tactics are very effective, they always let them score, and they always defend against the opponent's attack! Patience, dullness, and boredom are actually their weapons! They will drag their opponents into their rhythm and then use their experience to beat them all! ”
"If you want to beat them easily, the most important thing is not to get caught up in their rhythm, don't play with their way of playing, play our own basketball, and let the world see what offense is, what offensive basketball is, and what is the real NBA basketball!"
"Michael, you're going to prove in this series that you're the real MVP! You are the first person in the invincible alliance in the world! Marlon is a shameless thief who has stolen the glory that belongs to you! In this series, I want you to get back what belongs to you! ”
"Don't worry, coach, I will let Malone know that if it is not his, if he takes it, he will definitely be punished by God! And this time God's punishment for him was to meet me! Jordan nodded, completely ignoring the Jazz.
"Scott, if the Jazz were to use Russell to defend Michael, you would be our No. 1 point of attack! Because their two backcourts are very short, whether it is 191 cm Hornacek or 185 cm Stockton, whoever faces you in the two of them, let me know how good you are! ”
"Leave it to me! If they dare to defend me with a dwarf, I will let them know who is the dwarf nemesis, and I will fight the two cute little white sheep of the Jazz team. Pippen also nodded, he had played with the Jazz many times, and he was very aware of the weaknesses of the Jazz's two backcourts.
Although dirty, it is indeed short and slow, and the physical fitness league is at the bottom.
"Lin, against Stockton, you have to stay calm and don't beat him! Don't beat him! Don't beat him! Jackson looked at Lin Tian and said one of the things he feared the most in this series: "To be honest, if it were me, I would have been in the same position with Stockton for a maximum of 3 minutes, and I would have wanted to press him to the ground and blast him." ”
"But that's not right, you don't want that." Jackson sighed and said, "We need you to stay on the court, only then can you help the team, otherwise, you can't help the team win, can you?" ”
"Actually, if I do it, I can help the team." Lin Tian blinked his big innocent eyes and said, "If I do it, I promise to take at least three of them away!" ”
Lin Tian compared a three, and said: "Stockton, Ma Long, and then pick the unlucky ghost closest to me, I promise that no matter how many games I am banned, these guys will not be able to return to the court earlier than me!" They're going to stay in a hospital bed for longer than I'm banned! ”
"Like, it's not impossible...... Jackson touched his chin and muttered, then hurriedly said, "No, no!" Lin, you can't do that! It's better not to fight, or not to fight, we have more important things to do! ”
Jackson shook his head, shook off the idea of simply knocking down a few members of the Jazz team, and then looked at everyone, especially Lin Tiandao: "I hope that when we lift the championship trophy, everyone will be there!" And not someone is absent! ”
"I hope that all of us can feel the excitement of winning the championship on the spot, not in the dressing room alone through the TV screen!"
"That's it! Let's cheer up, let's be rightful and dignified, and kill the Jazz! Sweep them all away, and then lift our brand new, O'Brien Trophy! ”
The morale of the Bulls here was completely raised by Jackson, and in the Jazz's away locker room over there, Sloan had a gloomy face, and he said indifferently: "No one looks up to us, no one thinks we can win the championship, no one thinks that we are the champions, and no one even thinks that Carl is the MVP!" ”
"Because of what? Just because we don't look good, can't we give the audience one after another violent dunks and flashy, meaningless behind-the-back passes? Basketball is not like that! Basketball is simple and practical, and it is a machine-like art! And not random street rags! ”
"Go on, go to the court, go and let the world know what real basketball is! What a real basketball player! Go and say to all those who don't think well of us: they know a piece of! Tell them we're the champions! ”
With Sloan's tone of indifference, but full of aggressive agitation, the Jazz players also stood up from their stools, and Malone and Stockton walked out of the team's locker room with a fierce look on their faces.
Next, they want to let the world know who is the real king of the alliance!
The United Center in Chicago, they ushered in their fifth Finals battle in 7 years, and the crazy fans did not slack off at all because the team entered the Finals many times, as the most fervent fans in the United States, after the Bulls entered the Finals again, all Chicago fans fell into a carnival!
Not only did the Bulls open an additional area to sell tickets, selling an additional 3,000 tickets per game, and the home ticket price also increased significantly, but even so, the United Center's home stadium tickets are still in short supply!
With just over 2 hours to go, more than 20,000 fans poured into the United Center and began to eagerly release their energy and hormones.
And when the Jazz players entered the court, the fans at the Union Center certainly didn't give the league's most notorious villains any good looks, and the overwhelming scolding and boos were overwhelming.
"Stockton, you're a liar who brushes up on seniority! You don't want to be on the best team again in your life! ”
"The gap between Stockton and Lin is bigger than the gap between Batman and Afu! If you come to Chicago, you'll have to mop and wash your socks! ”
"Stockton, you're a shameless villain! If you dare to put away those little moves of yours, Lin will let you know what a real man is! He's going to crush you completely! ”
"What's that bald idiot called? Russell? You can start praying now, because you're going to be beaten to death by Michael! ”
"Carl, the 14-year-old girl you assaulted is crying! If you're still a human being, you'll go to jail to serve your sentence first! ”
"More than 100 of your bastards are crying, too! Can a man manage his crotch first? ”
"The most notorious criminals I've ever seen are more like a person than Malone!"
"Jazz stinking shit!"
"Sloan is not worthy of a shoeshine for Pat Riley! And Pat Riley is barely rationed to wash Jackson's feet! So, Sloan, you better go back to Salt Lake City! There is no place for you here! ”
"If you want to learn more advanced tactics, you can start with the Bulls' cleaners! We will give you the highest standard treatment in the industry! ”
In the face of bursts of boos and insults from fans, everyone in the Jazz team looked like they were all right, from top to bottom, all of them achieved the highest level of treating boos as wind.
Or is it good to be the league's number one villain and the top street rat?
It's not easy for other teams to get so many boos and scolding.
Today's league, that is, the Jazz, is a street rat everywhere they go, and they are scolded everywhere they go.
With 41 road trips in the regular season each year, each road trip is a great opportunity for the Jazz to learn about the latest local curse quotes! Every away from home they get the highest level of 'welcome' from the local fans.
In fact, although Stockton and Malone are villains, although there are many victims in front of their elbows and feet, they really haven't reached the point of being covered with bones and blood all over the place, and two-thirds of the teams in this league have really not suffered much from their plots.
But how to say it...... The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
The big guy just sees the Jazz team, and he wants to open his mouth and scold!
It is precisely for this reason that they have long been familiar with and accustomed to all this, just a few scoldings, it's a fart!
From Sloan to the water cooler keeper on the edge of the bench, no one on the Jazz would take this boo to heart!
Soon, when the first wave of fans was over, when their voices began to subside, the ten starters from both sides also took to the court, ready to start the first showdown of the finals!
Luke Longley and Greg Ostertag, two blue-collar shield-shaped centers who are both over 210 centimeters tall, walked together in the center circle, ready to wait for a jump ball.
This season's Ostertag can contribute 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and he can be regarded as the No. 1 defensive center in the league.
As the referee's whistle blew, Ostertag took the lead in jumping, with a taller stature and relatively faster bounce speed, allowing him to win the first wave of offensive possession for the Jazz!
Stockton grabbed the basketball and did not rush forward, but stretched out his hand and walked through the half court without hurrying while shouting tactics.
"Old dog, I heard that your style of playing is very insidious, vicious, like a brute?" Lin Tian, who has not been a rookie for a long time, has experienced the baptism of various point guards along the way, and now he can be regarded as notorious.
Of course, in the circle of players, everyone knows how bad Lin Tian's mouth is.
But in the fandom......
No way! My brother is so handsome, he will definitely not be able to hurt people, let alone open his mouth to be foul language! It's you ugly people who are jealous of my brother's handsome appearance and handsome style, so they slander and slander, spread rumors, and smear our brother!
Well...... That's it!
"Boy, do you know you're underwhelmed?" Stockton turned sideways, shielded the basketball with his elbow, and watched his teammates' movements as he moved toward the 3-point line.
"I know, a lot of people want to beat me, but no one beats me! Didn't Carl tell you? I can beat him to his knees and beg for mercy in a second! Lin Tian continued to spew trash talk, while looking for an opportunity to pull the ball, even if he couldn't cut the ball directly, he had to find a way to disrupt Stockton's dribbling rhythm.
It's just that Lin Tian didn't expect that although Stockton doesn't look tall or strong, he has no strengths except for being dirty and hard enough, but when he is really in the position with him, this guy's ball protection ability is actually very good!
It's a bit of that kind of heavy sword without a blade, and the feeling of being ingenious and unworked.
In the first round of the finals, the Jazz team played of course their best blocking and dismantling cooperation, and Lin Tian had been on guard against this matter, and at the same time that he suddenly felt that it was dark around him, the whole person had already taken two steps back very wittily!
The next thing he saw was Marlon rushing up with a pair of iron elbows.
If Lin Tian hadn't taken two steps back quickly, just now, not to mention being injured, Ma Long would have to let Lin Tian take a good beat, and his head would be stunned for a while.
"Count you fast boy!" Ma Long failed to succeed for the first time, and sneered at Lin Tian, he just wanted to tell Lin Tian: Lao Tzu did it on purpose!
Stockton, who was next to him, didn't care if there was a physical altercation between Lin Tian and Ma Long, but used the cover to start breaking through, and after attracting Longley's pinch, he distributed the ball to Ostertag, and the tower-like guy immediately jumped up and completed a powerful dunk with both hands.
"You won't pee your pants, I thought you were hard." Stockton looked at Lin Tian when he returned to the defense and sprayed at him.
Interesting!
I like it!
Lin Tian licked his lips, took the baseline ball, and then quickly sent it to Jordan: "Michael, you organize." ”
"My organization?" Jordan was stunned for a moment, what is this kid crazy about? Were you really scared by Ma Long's large-scale action?
No way!
Jordan hesitated for less than a second, and then felt that he was thinking too much, this bastard is not even afraid of me, will he be afraid of Malone?
If you don't organize an attack, it will definitely be bad!
Seeing that Lin Tian didn't take the ball, Stockton hugged him closely, and at the same time quietly stretched his foot towards Lin Tian's foothold, wanting to trip Lin Tian, after seeing Lin Tian easily dodge, this guy continued to taunt: "Boy, I really didn't expect you to be scared in one round, what's wrong?" Do you need to change a diaper? ”
Lin Tian didn't take Stockton, but ran all the way to the waist position, that is, after Jordan's longest offensive area, he directly stuck Stockton with his back and reached out for the ball!
"Are you crazy? Do you want to hit me in the back? Have you checked my success rate in defending in the low post? Well? Stockton saw that Lin Tian was going to hit him in the back and continued to laugh.
Jordan over there saw that Lin Tian was asking for the ball in the low position, and immediately gave the ball to Lin Tian, wanting to see how he could take revenge.
"Can you shut up, no one told you that your mouth stinks?" Lin Tian got the basketball, and suddenly pushed it to the back, and his shoulder directly hit Stockton's chest who just wanted to open his mouth to speak.
"Huh!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Tian turned around and stepped back to shoot, and after scoring the goal, he looked at Stockton and said, "Can you shut up now?" You old pug who eats 3 pounds of poop and doesn't brush his teeth? ”
Lin Tian's set of back beatings is smooth, although there are no flashy movements, but every detail is just right, and there is no superfluity.
Needless to say, Lin Tian used up the last experience card on his body now!
Karen Mok Peak Experience......
Bah!
09-10 Season Andre Miller Experience Card (Full Field)!
Miller's ability to organize and pass the ball, Lin Tian is now a little disdainful, and it's hard to say who is better than whom!
But Miller's back-to-back singles and turnaround jumpers......
Tut-tut...... If Lin Tian's prediction is correct, this card, nine times out of ten, is the peak state of the season on the night when Miller exploded with 50 points!
After using this card, Lin Tian has only one goal tonight-
Kill Stockton!
"You're looking for death!" Stockton scolded, and then glanced at Malone next to him.
"Watch out for Lin! These two guys, they're not ready to pretend at all, they're going to take out the dirtiest stuff as soon as they come up! Rodman caught this small detail and immediately reminded Lin Tian to be careful.
"The only thing I need to be careful on the pitch is your long pass Dennis!" Lin Tian didn't look back, but lowered his center of gravity and looked at Stockton and continued: "It's you, be careful of Ma Long's iron elbows. ”
As he spoke, Stockton's dribble had come to the frontcourt, and he waved his arms again, and this time, Lin Tian felt that it was Ostertag running from his left side.
Isn't it Marlon?
Lin Tian glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and then he quickly chose to retreat like in the previous round.
Then, another pair of iron elbows appeared in front of his eyes.
"You who ride horses will not cover without elbows, will you?" Lin Tian saw that the elbow was less than 30 centimeters away from him, but if he withdrew slowly, he would have to be smashed directly on the head!
No wonder your Jazz team's pick-and-roll works so well and works.
If you put a blade or glass shard on your elbow, it will definitely work better on your horse!
Because Lin Tian chose to step back again, Stockton got a shot from outside the 3-point line, and he immediately shot a 3-pointer.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, his perfect touch in the Western Conference Finals didn't seem to be able to continue, and the open 3-point was a basket that didn't score.
Pippen grabbed the rebound and just wanted to throw the ball forward, but found that Lin Tian didn't run a fast attack, but instead stretched out his hand to signal Pippen not to worry, stabilize and play slowly.
"Looks like it's Stockton who is unlucky tonight!" Pippen didn't force a counterattack, but stabilized his rhythm and said to Jordan beside him: "Lin has completely entered the state. ”
"Then give him the ball." Jordan said as he ran away towards Lin Tian's other side, completely giving up the offensive space to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian also received the ball again in the low post and resisted Stockton again.
As soon as the two people came into contact, all kinds of small actions were used crazily! Stockton pinched the soft flesh on Lin Tian's waist with his claws, but Lin Tian turned around and elbowed Stockton's stomach again, and then turned around, and at the same time took his shoulder and slammed it towards Stockton's nose!
Stockton saw a big shoulder coming towards his nose, how dare he go up hard? Frightened, he quickly leaned back and dodged this blow with difficulty.
This time he dodged, but Lin Tian's shooting, he had absolutely no way to interfere, he could only watch Lin Tian turn over and hit another jumper, and score another 2 points!
"Are you afraid? I thought you were tough. Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, and said to Stockton: "I gave you the opportunity to make me maliciously foul, you didn't plant, then you can't blame me!" ”
The first two rounds set the tone for the style of the match.
That's ferocity, hand-to-hand combat, and all kinds of small actions!
Whoever is harder on both sides and who is less afraid of death will be able to take the lead!
Almost every cover on the Jazz side is elbows to open the way, and everyone on this team seems to have 8 elbows, and all their movements are elbows in front of them and behind them, as if the elbow, the hardest part of the human body, is their body.
In the face of this ferocious style of play, the Bulls, a group of guys who have just finished hand-to-hand combat with the Heat, are of course not afraid at all! Not only are they not afraid, but they also give the Jazz a very tough counterattack!
Rodman took the lead in fighting with Malone under the basket, and Longley and Ostertag, two 7-foot-long men, also let no one let anyone, playing with their lives on each other's arms and fighting.
As for Jordan and Pippen? These two guys, in this life, are not the kind of people who suffer on the court, rushing to the players who are opposite them on the defensive end, that is, all kinds of physical contact and small actions!
As for why only crazy on the defensive end? Because on the offensive end, most of the Bulls' scenes were taken by Lin Tian!
He almost never came to the 3-point line tonight, but kept sinking in the low post, constantly bullying Stockton with his height and strength!
Elbows, knees, shoulders and fingers, as long as they can be used and will not be blown foul by the referee, Lin Tian has never stopped, he basically does not treat Stockton as an opponent, but purely treats him as a punching bag.
All kinds of actions that I usually want to use but dare not use, and I learned from Rodman but didn't have the opportunity to practice them, were used by Lin Tian one after another!
Beat! Today's beating is you old bastard!
As for Jackson...... Although he arranged before the game to focus on Jordan first, and then let Pippen bully the opponent's short man according to the matchup, the current game process is completely different from what he arranged.
But Jackson didn't care at all, and he didn't have any intention of stopping the game and letting the players play according to what he had arranged.
People are fighting very well, why stop it?
Let Lin Tian feel refreshed!
What about the referee at this time?
