Chapter 74 The ultimate top five trendsetters! And this means: Jackson's lineup adjustment has finally come to an end.
Among the Bulls' latest starting lineup, apart from the unshakable Iron Triangle, the other two names belong to Kukoc and Longley! Jackson used a starting lineup that could be called 'huge' even in the 90s!
In this lineup, there is no point guard, and only Jordan plays guard.
But at the same time, they have two of the best point forwards in the league today: Pippen and Kukoc! Therefore, although the Bulls' starting lineup does not have a point guard, they will not have any problems organizing and sharing the ball.
Coupled with Longley's height, rebounding and defense, as well as Rodman's rebounding and hardness, this starting set has a uniqueness that is difficult to copy! The first is height!
Except for Jordan, who is only 198 centimeters, the heights of the others are all over 203 centimeters!
Well, of course, Rodman's height is a mystery, but at least he claims to be 206 centimeters.
Coupled with the 203cm Pippen, the 208cm Kukoc and the 213cm Longley, this lineup of the Bulls can be called the top five of death!
More importantly, this lineup is not only big, but also tough!
And very strong! In terms of defense, this lineup has three elite defenders at the All-Defensive First Team level, enough to kill 3% of the teams in the league, as well as Longley, a tall and strong top human shield.
In terms of offense, although the inside offensive ability of this lineup is mediocre, and even Longley and Rodman combined can't score 10 points in a game, but they have Jordan! When does a team with Jordan need to worry about offense?
Not to mention that Kukoc and Pippen have two muskets ready to fire at any time! The Bulls' starting lineup, in addition to having limited methods and mediocre results against small and quick guards like Stoudemire and Tim Hardaway, has been effective against more than 90% of the teams in the league. They can all display a crushing style!
As for Lin Tian, after Kukoc became the starter, he officially became the team's sixth man and top substitute!
And in the next few games after this lineup is determined, as long as Jordan rests, Lin Tian will definitely be on the court!In other words, although Jordan did not rest for a game, Lin Tian did not get the so-called unlimited firing rights.
But in those 10 minutes when Jordan rested, he was the team's number one offensive point! His speed, impact, fast breaks and shooting after the pick-and-roll, coupled with the fact that the Bulls also have Pippen and Kukoc, two passers with excellent vision after grabbing rebounds and strong first-pass ability, these This makes Lin Tian's firepower more and more stable! 在对阵湖人之前的3场比赛之中，林天虽然仍旧是替补出场，，命中率更是高达夸张的64%！
The reason for such a high shooting rate is that in these three games, Lin Tian averaged an exaggerated fast break score of points per game!Unknowingly, Lin Tian has become the number one fast-break sharpshooter in the league!
The points he scores in fast breaks and his super high efficiency in every game are definitely among the top in the league! Fast, strong finishing ability, good awareness, not greedy for credit after catching the ball, and can pass it to teammates in a better position as soon as possible!
Combined with these attributes, Lin Tian's fast break has begun to become an item that other teams need to focus on when facing the Bulls.
In these games, the Bulls have won 4 consecutive victories without any suspense!Their winning streak has reached 14 games! Then, on February 2, the Bulls finally waited for the Lakers! Magic, the former NBA icon, once again faced off against Jordan, the current NBA top player! This is the first time these two have competed together since Barcelona in 1992!
Therefore, the United Center was once again full for this game, and when Magic came on the stage, all the fans stood up and cheered! Everyone shouted 'magic' together! The big screen at the scene even played a tribute video to thank the magician! Bulls officials and fans definitely raised their respect for Magic to the highest level! In addition to the fact that they really respect this fat man who loves to laugh and is very popular, it is also because Malone has been criticizing Lin Tian while criticizing Magic and the league in recent days, so from the Bulls' point of view, Magic , on their side!
When the respect before the game reached its peak, Jordan and others also went to greet and chat with the Magic one after another.
As the team's most popular newcomer, Lin Tian also has the qualifications to step forward and talk to the magician.
Otherwise, ordinary rookies are not qualified to make friends with the magician before the game!
"Hey Erwin, I've always been your fan." Lin Tian smiled and high-fived the magician, hugged him and said, "I've always dreamed of being on your team and playing ball with you!"
"Huh?" Jordan, who was next to him, immediately pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what Lin Tian would say.
"That guy Michael can't pass the ball! He doesn't know the meaning of sharing the ball at all! If I were on the same team with you, my speed and fast break skills would be able to be used to the maximum extent! I can get at least 25 points per game. [-] points! You are the best in my mind, but it’s a pity that I was born too late and didn’t have the chance to compete with you at your peak.”
"Hahahaha, aren't you afraid that Michael will hear what you said?" Of course, Magic also noticed Jordan, who was listening with open ears. He was a little curious about the relationship between this kid and Jordan.
"I did it on purpose. This guy was very rough with me during training." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and deliberately increased his voice and said: "If I train with you, this kind of problem will definitely not happen, right? !”
"Train with me?" The magician continued with a smile: "Do you dare?"
"Except that I can't afford a house in Los Angeles, there's nothing I dare to do." Lin Tian patted the magician on the shoulder and said, "I support you 100%, and I really want to train with you!"
"Are you serious?" The magician said with a trace of surprise on his face: "Actually, I know that although I made a successful comeback, although many people expressed their welcome and support to me on the surface, in fact most people's In my heart, I have the same thoughts as Karl.”
"This can be seen from the fact that I can easily grab 7 or 8 rebounds in every game. They don't dare to fight me. They are afraid of me."
"I'm not afraid of you Erwin." Jordan, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly came over and pushed Lin Tiandao away: "I guarantee you won't catch a single rebound tonight! I will keep an eye on you! Also! I have you boy!”
Jordan glanced at Lin Tiandao: "Do you think I can't pass the ball?"
