Chapter 23 O'Neal: I am the leader of the team!
At this time, the anger in O'Neal's heart was obviously rising. He did not rush out of the paint with Rodman to defend Lin Tian's pick-and-roll.
Rodman's screen was a combination of scratching and scratching, stopping Hardaway without saying anything. He also saw the opportunity and pinched Hardaway's stomach hard! With Rodman protecting him, Jordan attracted a lot of defensive energy from the Magic. Lin Tian naturally easily got an opportunity and made a mid-range jumper! "Shh!"
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored 6 points and 1 assist in a row, leading the team to a wave of offensive climax, directly tying the score! This 8:0 wave helped the Bulls reverse all the decline!
"Shaq! Why didn't you guard him? This kid just got too much space!" Hardaway spread his hands and complained to O'Neal.
"Anfernee, don't talk to me like that. I came to this team first, and I am the leader of the team!" O'Neal snorted, running towards the front court, and said to Hardaway: " You have wasted too many opportunities. Hit this ball for me! I want to play in the low post, and I can destroy the Bulls' entire defense!"
O'Neal's sudden strength and unreasonableness made Hardaway a little confused.
What's wrong with this big brother?What kind of psychosis?
Of course he didn't know that O'Neal was still thinking about what Lin Tian just said! O'Neal happily came to the inside and demanded the ball. Although he was a little puzzled, Hardaway did not hesitate and gave the ball to O'Neal. In terms of passing and vision, he is definitely the top player in the league! After getting the ball, O'Neal just started to attack. The basketball even hit the floor for a moment. The Bulls' double-team came. Lin Tian let go of his opponent and rushed directly into the paint. He didn't even bother to aim. , and slapped him out with a slap!
"Snapped!"
After a crisp sound, the slap hit O'Neal's hand with great precision!
"Thugs foul! Two free throws!"
The referee's whistle came very promptly. There was no suspense about this foul! Lin Tian didn't care at all and quickly raised his hand to indicate that he had indeed committed a foul.
Anyway, this time, his idea is to make money even if he loses blood. O'Neal on the free throw line is not a threat to a high school student!
"Rookie! Don't foul so easily! Just guard your own people, don't forget what I said, don't hold back!" Jordan finally found an opportunity and educated Lin Tian!
Did you ask your kid to educate me just now?Now it's my turn! But before Jordan could finish his words, Lin Tian suddenly pointed to the center circle and said: "Michael, let me grab the rebound! Just go to the center circle and wait for the attack. I have a way to make the Magic collapse directly! But we must Just stand under the basket."
"You think I'm a three-year-old? Would I believe this?" Jordan snorted coldly. Who do you think you are, standing under the basket and grabbing a rebound can make the Magic collapse?Who are you lying to?
"If you can't do it, do 500 intensive shooting training after the game, and don't miss a single ball!" Jordan said as he walked towards the midline.
Once again, he inexplicably listened to Lin Tian's instructions! "Boom!"
At this time, O'Neal had just missed his first free throw. He shook his head helplessly. He only made 11 of 4 free throws tonight, which was worse than his average. It was really a bad year!
"Shaq." Just when O'Neal was about to take his second free throw, Lin Tian, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "Don't you guys in Orlando shout MVP when the team leader takes a free throw? They must be Afraid of interfering with your free throws! What a considerate and good fan!"
Lin Tian's words directly hit O'Neal's heart! Yes, how long has it been since I heard fans call me MVP?I led the team to the finals last year, but what did the people in Orlando think and think?All on 'penny'! We only made it to the finals thanks to the versatile, handsome and gorgeous 'Penny'! Bullshit, it's bullshit! "Shh!"
With O'Neal's inner confusion, his second free throw went too far, hitting the net and directly out of the baseline!
"Shaquille O'Neal had mood swings and dropped a one-time item: 00-01 Season O'Neal Power (Shark Power) Experience Card (3 minutes)!"
Oops!Here it comes! Lin Tian only felt that his eyes lit up, O'Neal's power reached its peak!
Another good thing!
It's a pity that it only has the strength attribute, which is not as invincible as Jordan's 3-minute comprehensive experience card!
However, it is definitely enough for Lin Tian to take it out at a critical time and cause trouble!
At the same time, Lin Tian also learned a little more about the system.
Experience cards are also divided into levels! Jordan's experience card for the 92-93 season had all attributes and abilities added to it, so it was definitely the highest level experience card. Today's experience card only has a single item, and it must be a lower grade. I just don't know if there are other types. Woolen cloth? As O'Neal missed both free throws, the Bulls officially launched another offensive wave of their own! First, Lin Tian once again played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. After bypassing the screen, he hit a mid-range jumper and successfully overtook the score! Then the Magic finally changed their defensive strategy and asked Grant to help defend more in the mid-range to contain Lin Tian's jump shot. In addition, with O'Neal sitting at the basket, Lin Tian still lacks a lot of strength and skills. , it’s hard to get any benefits by rushing in.
After being locked out of the mid-range and driving to the basket, Lin Tian's performance once again dimmed.
But although Lin Tian no longer shines on the court, the Bulls still have the basketball god Jordan!
When things are in doubt, give the ball to Jordan!He will solve everything! Jordan, who rested on the court for a few minutes, immediately took over the offensive banner and started killing again!
In the ensuing positional battle, Lin Tian hardly got any chances. He failed to make several shots and only relied on fast break opportunities to score another 2 points.
Although Lin Tian did not perform any more brilliantly, the Bulls had already led the score to 77:72 at the end of the third quarter!
They lead the Magic by 5 points! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bulls' counterattack in the third quarter relied on the sudden appearance of Lin Tian! Throughout the third quarter, Lin Tian scored 10 points and 3 assists!Although it looks like that, these 10 points were obtained quickly in a short period of time!The powerful scoring explosion directly allowed the Bulls to go from being 8 points behind to being 2 points ahead! Not to mention that after Lin Tian continued to talk to O'Neal, the originally close cooperation between O'Neal and Hardaway also had obvious problems.
The two no longer play pick-and-rolls, and O'Neal no longer pulls out to provide space for Hardaway when he breaks through.
The chemistry between these two people suddenly disappeared!
And how could the veteran Bulls give up this opportunity?
In the fourth quarter of the game, Jackson continued to let the Iron Triangle play on the court. Coupled with Cole and Kukoc, the two most capable scoring players, the Bulls five-man team was able to solve the problem in less than 3 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter. They once again hit a 9:2 offensive climax, widening the point difference! (End of this chapter)
