Chapter 422 I am a traditional, good man, and you two...
Chapter 422 I'm a traditional, good man, and you two big black guys are pressuring me to get married?
"Michael, you're too slow! If Vince were here, I would have just thrown the ball into the air and he would have slammed it down with a spinning dunk!" After faking out Jordan and scoring, Lin Tian didn't forget to taunt him.
"You mean I'm not as good as Vince, that idiot kid who can only dunk?" Jordan snorted, his arrogance arriving late but surely.
"I mean, his dunks are really beautiful. But you can't be better than someone in every aspect, right? Of course, overall, you're still better than Vince." Lin Tian shrugged and praised Jordan.
"I'm better than him, why do I need to talk about the team?" Jordan rolled his eyes and said, "If he dared to fight me one-on-one, I could beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"
"Michael, Vince is my buddy! We played together for four years, he's like a younger brother to me," Lin Tian said with a smile. "Like you, you're both like younger brothers to me."
"I'm your father." Jordan wanted to say a few more words to Lin Tian, but the Hornets didn't wait for the two guys to argue and launched an attack directly.
Wesley took advantage of a spare moment, pulled up from beyond the three-point line and shot, making a three-pointer!
3: 4!
After getting two blocks in the opening game, the Hornets finally got their first win!
"Michael, defense! Vince and I never forget about defense when we're chatting on the court!" Lin Tian continued to provoke Jordan by mentioning his ex.
There are some things a man can't tolerate, and that has nothing to do with age or maturity!
He has nothing to do with anything else, except...
Ok……
The deeper the love, the more you care?
blah blah blah...
Lin Tian quickly banished this disgusting thought from his mind.
In the second game, the Pacers once again delivered a comfortable and easy victory. This game was somewhat similar to the previous one, yet completely different.
That night, everything turned upside down!
Tonight, Lin Tian relentlessly attacked Davis. Davis only played 24 minutes before committing 4 fouls and being substituted by the coach early. He didn't play at all in the fourth quarter.
Of course, it wasn't just because he couldn't contain Lin Tian at all, but also because he delivered a performance of 4 out of 15 shots and 4 turnovers on the offensive end.
Silas, we really don't dare let him play!
How could they be exposed so badly?
As for Mashburn, he was able to put up some great offensive plays in the last game, shooting 9 of 20 and scoring a team-high 23 points, which was worthy of his role as a leader.
But after Jordan chose not to take so many shots in this game, he focused a lot of his energy on defense. He stuck to Mashburn the whole game and made this "monster" suffer!
With 6 of 18 shots made, a shooting percentage of just over 30%, the 40-year-old Jordan proved that when he was on full defensive endeavors, he could still take down an All-Star caliber forward!
Apart from these two, the rest of the Hornets players were in a similar mood to the previous game.
So what if I get beaten up?
I've pretty much gotten used to it!
Two days later in New Orleans, fans finally got to see the new team's first playoff performance in the city!
Although in the first two games, his team was completely outmatched and practically humiliated, and the team suffered a complete defeat in both games, from the players and the coach to the final outcome.
For New Orleans fans, this is the first time in over 20 years that the city has had an NBA team and made it to the playoffs!
The fans have been waiting for almost 30 years! They can't wait to get to the stadium and cheer for their team!
Therefore, they don't care at all that their team isn't favored by everyone, nor do they care that the Hornets are ranked number one on the "first round sweeps list" provided in Las Vegas.
Even in the past two days, TNT, ESPN and other media outlets have included Davis and Mashburn on their lists of the most disappointing players in the first two playoff games!
None of this can dampen the New Orleans fans' passion for watching the playoffs live!
So, that night, the New Orleans arena was packed with fans!
Not only that, they also started yelling and shouting wildly from the moment the players entered the court, cheering for their team and booing Jordan and Lin Tian, the Pacers players!
"The team is so bad, yet the fans are so enthusiastic. You rarely see teams like this!" Ben Wallace picked at his ear, utterly bewildered by the New Orleans fans' excitement. "Are they treating this place like a carnival? So they only care about partying and not the game?"
"Ben, I have to tell you something," Lin Tian said, patting Ben on the shoulder, "When the fans are in a frenzy, their players will be just as frenzied! Their fighting spirit will increase exponentially! Don't you remember how much strength the fans' shouts have given you?"
"I remember!" Ben frowned slightly, then nodded, clearly recalling the Indians' madness.
"Therefore, we absolutely cannot let our guard down in tonight's match! Our opponents are definitely 120% prepared! They will give it their all, they will fight tooth and nail, just to take us down!"
"At the same time, they certainly don't want their first game after moving to New Orleans to end in a loss or a crushing defeat!"
"This is the dignity of a team, the dignity of a city!"
"We cannot underestimate them, and we absolutely cannot let our guard down! Otherwise, we are likely to face a crushing defeat!"
"Give it your all! Treat this game like a Game 7! Beat them to a pulp!"
"Dry them to death!"
"WIN OR GO HOME!"
"Kill New Orleans!"
"Victory is certain! Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"
The Pacers' veteran players and youngsters were also fired up by Lin Tian's words, and their fighting spirit was completely ignited!
Damn it, they think they can beat us by relying on the passion of their home fans?
dream!
Even if you put 20,000 Playboy cover girls in the stands, you won't be able to take this victory from us today!
It's that hard!
Game start!
Inspired by Lin Tian, Ben Wallace was on edge from the jump ball, and for the first time in the series, he beat Magloire in the jump ball, giving the Pacers their first possession.
After a series of dribbling breakthroughs, Lin Tian found Christie, who had been left out. Christie received the ball and, without hesitation, pulled up and threw it!
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, the Pacers missed their first shot of the game, but before Magloire could even get into position under the basket, he found himself out of position!
Big Ben elbowed him aside, then leaped high and grabbed the rebound, using tremendous force with both hands as he caught the ball!
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, Magloire was so startled that he almost didn't dare to go over to defend, but fortunately, Ben Wallace wasn't preparing to attack either, and instead passed the ball to Christie who was cutting in!
After receiving the ball, Christie didn't need to dribble or adjust. He simply took off, knocked Magloire aside in mid-air, and then slammed the ball down with one hand to score!
"Nice dunk, Doug!" Ben grinned and gave Christie a high five.
"Your version is even better!" Christie bared her fangs, looking fierce!
Lin Tian was stunned.
Was my speech just now really that brilliant?
Even someone like Christie was motivated by himself to dunk?
You should know that this guy is a typical pragmatist. He would never dunk if he could go for a layup, and he would never drive to the basket if he could shoot. He focuses on something simple and practical, but it's boring and uninteresting.
Lin Tian remembered the statistics he saw at the end of the season: Christie played 78 games and dunked a total of 4 times.
In the entire league, apart from Nash of the Mavericks and Parker, Lin Tian's backup, no one has fewer dunks than him!
Well, of course, out of politeness, Boykins is not on this list. Including him would be an insult.
"Doug, it's been a long time since I've seen you this excited!" Lin Tian reached out and touched hands with Christie.
"My baby's waiting for me at the door! She's come to New Orleans too." Christie's eyes gleamed with anxiety. "We need to finish the game quickly, I want to leave a little early! Otherwise, we'll miss the 10 pm concert tonight! My baby's been looking forward to this concert for so long!"
vomit!
Nausea.
This guy has been married for so many years, and he still calls his wife "baby"?
Lin Tian couldn't help but look at Christie and ask a pointed question: "Doug, tell me the truth, do you even remember your wife's name? Have you forgotten her name, which is why you're calling her 'baby'?"
"Of course not!" Christie declared righteously, "I will always love Jackie! She's my absolute favorite!"
"Including the time she burned your car and prevented the female doctor from giving you CPR, almost killing you?" Lin Tian always had questions about the way Christie and his wife got along!
"Everything! I love everything about her!"
Christie continued proudly, "A heartless scumbag like you would never understand the love between us, Lin! Let me tell you, I..."
"You don't need to tell me that I will never refer to or adopt the way you and your wife get along in my entire life," Lin Tian said without hesitation. "I'm not envious of you at all."
"Honestly, Lin, you should find a true soulmate! Finding a soulmate will truly elevate your life! How about this, after the competition, you and I will go to a concert together and let the music cleanse your soul!"
"Shut up! From now on, when our team has a get-together, you go to the kids' table!" Lin Tian muttered before quickly running away.
terrible!
This guy not only got himself manipulated and controlled, but he didn't even dare to glance at the cheerleaders during a timeout. Now he actually wants to drag me down with him.
Evil spirits, begone!
No taboos!
While Lin Tian and Christie were chatting, the Hornets' offense had already reached the frontcourt. Wesley received the ball, asked for a screen, and then suddenly accelerated towards the basket, aiming to challenge Ben Wallace's defense!
"Bang!"
The two collided violently in mid-air, and then Ben slapped the ball with his hand. Instead of hitting the ball far, he caught it in his arms!
Catch the ball in mid-air!
In the future "Street Basketball" game that will be popular in China, this move is called steal or block!
This is absolutely the most humiliating defense on the court! When this move comes out, it means absolute domination!
Ben Wallace didn't even snarl at Wesley; instead, he passed the ball to Lin Tian and sprinted forward, eager to join the counter-attack!
Lin Tian didn't disappoint Ben either. His little brother was running so hard, so he had to be rewarded!
After dribbling the ball all the way, Lin Tian arrived at the basket, glanced at the positions of both teams' players, and then suddenly threw the ball into the air with one hand.
Before the Hornets' defenders could even turn their heads to see what Lin Tian was up to, a yellow number 3 figure had already leaped into the air, caught the basketball in mid-air, and slammed it into the basket!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Lin Tian and Ben Affleck completed an alley-oop, and the team scored 2 more points!
"Roar roar roar!"
After completing the dunk, Ben Wallace was unleashing his energy like crazy. Judging from his appearance, Lin Tian even wondered if the Hornets had some kind of blood feud with him.
No, we've known each other for so long, why is this jerk so excited today?
There can't be a 'baby' waiting at the door, can there?
"Ben, conserve your energy, don't rush." Lin Tian couldn't help but comfort him. In Ben's current state, such over-excitement could easily lead to injury. He needed to let his little brother calm down. If he couldn't take it, he could spit out some of the chicken soup.
"I want to leave early." Ben chuckled sheepishly. "The sooner the game enters garbage time, the faster it'll end, right? I have plans tonight!"
"You have a treasure in New Orleans too?" Lin Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I thought my words had worked, but it turns out they all have events going on, right?
"No, no baby," Ben shook his head. "There's an angel waiting for me! She really is like an angel; she can warm my heart, she can bring me everything! She is my angel!"
"Boss, honestly, you can't keep drifting around like this! You're almost 30, I think you need a more stable life!"
"Marriage can make a man feel secure."
"FUXX! Shut up." Lin Tian turned and left again, getting away from Da Ben.
These two are really acting strangely tonight. One is an angel, the other a baby. Are they playing with puns here?
Moreover, I'm a traditional Chinese man, and you two American black men are pressuring me to get married.
It's the other way around!
Damn it, Hitler is a peace-loving Frenchman who would rather die than submit!
Irritability!
Neither Mr. Lin Sen nor Mr. Lin Jun, those two old men, have been pressuring us to get married. Oh, it's you two big, dark-skinned men who are here to pressure us?
This is insane!
"Bang!" Just as Lin Tian was wondering if Ben Wallace and Christie had lost their minds, Davis dribbled the ball and crashed into Lin Tian!
Because Lin Tian was distracted, he wasn't fully prepared and was knocked back by Davis, stumbling back two steps!
Davis then took a step back and stepped out of the three-point line. He even had time to glance at Lin Tian before pulling up for a shot and launching a three-pointer!
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp click, Davis opened for business!
"Lin! You're finished tonight! You can't stop me tonight! Back in New Orleans, we're invincible! I'll crush you!" Davis was incredibly excited and fierce after scoring, his teeth hidden under his beard were incredibly white!
Am I finished? I can't defend against you?
Go back to New Orleans?
I'll send you back to your run-down slums in Los Angeles!
"ball!"
After being hit by Davis, and then feeling strangely overwhelmed by Ben Wallace and Christie, Lin Tian became somewhat rough when asking for the ball.
FUXX, I'll beat you to death!
Who told you to run into my line of fire?
Live it!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt!
Seeing Davis lower his center of gravity and go all out to defend, Lin Tian didn't waste any words or gestures to call out tactics. Instead, amidst the frenzied chants of "Defense! Defense!" from the entire stadium, he immediately launched an attack!
Lin Tian suddenly accelerated and broke through on the left dribble, and in the blink of an eye, he was right next to Davis. Then, Lin Tian used his shoulder to push Davis towards the three-point line. Immediately after, Lin Tian dribbled between his legs and took a step back to jump out of the three-point line.
Davis was forced to take two steps back before he could stand up after Lin Tian's angry retort.
Even if he managed to stay upright, he just wouldn't have fallen so badly. As for rushing out to the three-point line to defend Lin Tian, it would be too late!
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian's three-pointer went in, responding with an incredibly tough shot in the same way!
"Come on! Let me see how you're going to beat me! Come on!"
From this point onward, Lin Tian began to look fierce and menacing!
He's in the zone!
