Chapter 76 Someone come and feed Young Master Lin some cakes!
"FUXX!"
Jordan immediately swore and said, "You can't dunk because you jump low, and that's my fault?"
"Otherwise what?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "If I pass the ball to the top of the backboard and you can't catch it, is it because you're not Garnett? If I pass the ball to you over a 300-pound Shaq and you can't overpower him, is it because you're not strong enough? If I pass the ball to you 3 meters away and you don't catch it, is it because your arms are too short?"
Lin Tian unleashed a torrent of words, leaving Jordan speechless.
After all, what Lin Tian said did make sense.
"Wait, who's Garnett? Can he touch the top of the backboard?" Jordan frowned, suddenly realizing there was a name he hadn't heard before.
"Can you watch more basketball and do some research? Garnett was a rookie in my draft class, the fifth overall pick, touted as the strongest high school player in history. He has explosive athleticism; supposedly he can touch the top of the backboard and dunk like a madman! You don't even know that? Next time you face the Timberwolves, you're definitely going to get blocked by him!"
"Me? Get blocked by a rookie whose name I've never even heard of? Fine! I'll remember that. When are we playing the Timberwolves again? I'll see how he blocks me!" Jordan was so angry with Lin that he almost laughed.
What monsters and behemoths hasn't he seen in this league? The four great centers, "African Mountain" Mutombo, "Iron Man" Mourning—which one hasn't smelled his crotch? And now you, Lin Tian, say a rookie can block me to death?
This rookie is doomed!
"The first game after the All-Star break!" Lin Tian gave Jordan an answer without hesitation.
"Okay, see you then!"
In the next few minutes of the first quarter, Lin Tian received passes from Jordan twice and scored directly. Once was when Lin Tian made a layup after Jordan drew a double team, and the other was when Lin Tian received a pass from Jordan and hit a mid-range shot!
In the first quarter, Lin Tian made all four of his shots, scoring 8 points!
Jordan also dished out a total of 6 assists!
The two of them worked together so perfectly!
I, Jordan, am going to feed you, Young Master Lin, until you're stuffed and can't eat anymore!
In the second quarter, Jordan temporarily substituted off the court for a rest, while Lin Tian continued to control the ball on the court.
In the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, Lin Tian's efficiency finally started to decline.
He made 1 of 3 shots, scoring only 2 points.
但等到第二节比赛还有6分钟林天下场的时候，公牛队的领先优势，已经达到了18分！而林天也已经拿到了10分3助攻1抢断的漂亮数据，命中率也有7投5中！
"Without me, this is all you've got? 1 for 3 and 2 points?" When Jordan came on as a substitute, his smugness was completely undisguised!
This kid says I'm bad at passing?
Without my passes, they're playing like this?
"Can't you see the three assists? My focus in the second quarter was passing! It was about organizing the offense! I'm a point guard; let others handle the easy work of scoring!"
Scoring is such an easy job?
Jordan glared at Lin Tian, snorted, and then walked onto the court.
In the remaining minutes of the second quarter, Jordan once again unleashed his full array of skills!
No-look passes, high post passes directly to the inside, fast breaks after rebounds result in passes for teammates to dunk, low post passes to teammates on the weak side after drawing double teams, drives and passes, inside passes, offensive rebounds followed by passes to teammates on the other side for dunks...
During this period in the second quarter, Jordan only took 2 shots and scored 2 points, but he delivered 9 assists!
Including the 6 assists in the first quarter, this fanatic had an astonishing 15 assists by the end of the first half!
The score at the end of the first half was 63-40!
The Bulls once again built a lead of more than 20 points in the first half!
The game should have been set in stone, but unexpectedly, in the third quarter, Harris suddenly changed his strategy, no longer double-teaming Jordan and letting Jordan play alone. Perhaps it was because he didn't take many shots in the first half, or perhaps Jordan was too eager to prove his passing skills to Lin Tian.
In the third quarter, Jordan played terribly against Eddie Jones's one-on-one defense!
He only made 1 of his first 5 shots and committed 2 turnovers!
Meanwhile, on the opposing Lakers team, Nick Van Exel, known as "Madman Van," went crazy again!
He hit three three-pointers in the first five minutes of the third quarter, scoring a total of 15 points!
Led by Van Gundy, the Lakers quickly narrowed the score gap!
They narrowed the gap to just 15 points in just 3 minutes!
At this moment, Lin Tian reappeared!
Lin Tianyi returned to the court, first stealing the basketball from Nick Van Exel, who was playing with great enthusiasm, and then passing it directly to Jordan who was running down the court, assisting him to dunk.
Then Jordan and Pippen executed a perfect double-team defense at the high post, stealing the ball from Jones. Lin Tian then received the pass from Jordan after the steal and scored 2 points!
Then another incredibly exciting scene unfolded!
Lin Tian called for a screen from Longley at the top of the arc. With the Australian's screen, he blew past Nick Van Exel and drove to the mid-range. Suddenly, the basketball flew out of his hands and towards the basket. Jordan rose up from the other side, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and delivered a brutal two-handed dunk!
"boom!"
The Lakers seemed to be intimidated by the Bulls' sudden increase in intensity and were somewhat unable to play. Ceballos was once again stripped of the ball by Pippen's one-on-one defense! After getting the ball, Pippen originally wanted to pass it directly to Lin Tian, but Jordan roared at him in a near-furious manner.
Pippen could only quickly pass the ball to Jordan, who then made a brilliant one-handed bounce pass. The basketball went through Nick Van Exel's legs and flew directly into Lin Tian's hands!
"boom!"
After another crisp sound, Lin Tian dunked again with one hand!
The Lakers finally managed to score 2 points through Divac, but on the next possession, Jordan found Lin Tian outside the three-point line and passed the ball to him while driving to the basket.
Lin Tian received the ball and immediately launched a three-pointer!
"Whoosh!"
After that crisp sound, he had already scored 15 points tonight just from assists from Jordan!
He was definitely fed by Jordan!
The Bulls widened the score gap once again thanks to this sudden increase in defensive intensity and the resulting frantic counterattack!
This time, however, the Lakers' "Madman Van Gundy" failed to go on his scoring spree and was unable to score again to close the gap.
By the end of the third quarter, the score difference between the two sides had reached 30 points, and all suspense was over!
In the fourth quarter, Jackson decisively substituted all the starters. He needed to give the team's key players a good rest, as there was a back-to-back game against the league's bottom-ranked Grizzlies the following day!
