After Chapter 22, which focused on PUA, it was time for the green tea b*tch to make her appearance!
This time, perhaps influenced by Lin Tian's two consecutive fast breaks, the Magic's three perimeter players didn't penetrate too deeply. They passed the ball to "Cobra" Grant, a key player in the Bulls' first three-peat, allowing him to make a mid-range jump shot.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, Grant's shot missed, and the basketball bounced off the rim. O'Neal, who was about to unleash his power under the basket, raised his elbow to grab the backboard, but the sudden noise from the side made him pause.
"Get out of my way, you fat idiot!" Jordan's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed his elbows into O'Neal's chest, causing the behemoth to feel waves of pain. The most terrifying beast in NBA history involuntarily took a step back!
Then Jordan grabbed the rebound, landing with a powerful one-handed grip on the ball.
"I told you, get the hell out of here!" After landing, Jordan glared at O'Neal, his eyes filled with ferocity and the murderous intent of a terrorist. O'Neal, who had originally wanted to press closer, didn't dare to come up and defend him closely!
I was startled by Jordan twice in one second!
This is absolutely an unprecedented experience in O'Neal's career!
After Jordan got the basketball, he didn't bounce it once again, and threw it out directly again!
This time, the basketball's trajectory was clearly controlled, with the flight angle and speed just right. Lin Tian, who had already reached the Magic's three-point line, easily got the basketball without having to bend over or adjust at all!
This time, however, after Lin Tian scored two fast breaks in a row, the Magic's defense was clearly prepared, and they retreated very quickly!
Hardaway rushed to Lin Tian's side immediately, spreading his arms to teach this newbie a lesson!
Facing Hardaway's defense, Lin Tian didn't rush to break through. After all, the Magic's defense was already in place, and he lacked both skill and strength. If he tried to force his way through, he was likely to make a mistake. So he took a small step back and created some distance!
Just then, Hadaway suddenly felt a shadow appear beside him.
Kukoc arrived as promised to set a screen for Lin Tian!
Using the cover, Lin Tian took a step forward and charged straight towards the Magic's interior!
Anderson and Grant, who had just arrived, were on high alert and immediately moved to the side, trying to block Lin Tian's breakthrough route!
But they forgot that, in terms of star power, Lin Tian was the youngest on the court, and in terms of offensive ability, he was only slightly better than Rodman!
Facing the Magic's interior defense, which was completely vulnerable due to Lin Tian's amazing performance, Jordan had already completed his cut and was heading towards the paint!
The basketball in Lin Tian's hand flew out and was thrown into the air!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Jordan completed an alley-oop and slammed the ball into the rim with both hands!
The point difference between the two sides has narrowed to only 2 points!
"Michael! That was a great run!" After passing the ball, Lin Tian actually praised Jordan!
Lin Tian's words made Jordan's lips twitch slightly.
He really felt like hitting someone!
Do I, Jordan, need a rookie like you to praise me?
Hmm, he had already forgotten that he was annoyed earlier because Lin Tian's praise of him wasn't quite right!
Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but squint his eyes. He seemed to have never seen this situation on the court before!
Jordan is...
Lin Tian has him wrapped around his little finger?
If Jackson asked Lin Tian how he did it, Lin Tian would tell him: This is PUA!
After further provoking Jordan, Lin Tian quickly shifted his target!
While he was defending, he walked alongside O'Neal, who had just crossed halfway.
"Shaq, how many rounds have you gone without touching the ball?" Lin Tian suddenly asked out of the blue.
"What did you say?" O'Neal frowned; Lin Tian's words made him quite unhappy.
I only didn't touch the ball for 3 rounds, what's there to ask?
"What I mean is, if I had a center as good as you, the greatest center in history, on my team, I would never let you go three possessions without the ball. But don't say that to Anfernee, he'll get angry."
"I don't want Anfernee and you to have a falling out over this."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he didn't give O'Neal a chance to react and turned to leave!
Hehe, after PUA comes the "green tea" quotes!
This is the power from the future!
After Lin Tian said that, O'Neal's behavior was noticeably different!
During the Magic's offensive possession, Hardaway had the ball beyond the three-point line. Facing Pippen's defense, he waved, signaling O'Neal to come up and set a screen for him.
But O'Neal seemed oblivious to this. Instead of setting a screen, he backed down Rodman in the paint and reached out for the ball!
"Anfernee, over here! I can kill that weakling Dennis!"
Hardaway's rhythm became somewhat chaotic as he faced O'Neal, who was raising his hand and shouting but refusing to leave the paint. He couldn't decide for a moment whether to pass the ball or let O'Neal come out first. This delay caused the referee's whistle to blow immediately!
"Shaq O'Neal, three-second violation!"
O'Neal committed an extra turnover for no reason!
"Anfernee, why didn't you give me the ball!" O'Neal spread his hands, his face full of confusion and dissatisfaction!
He was almost in the three-second zone when Hardaway didn't pass the ball to him immediately!
"Dennis, you defended brilliantly!" Lin Tian happened to be at the baseline, ready to receive the ball, and deliberately shouted, "You're the only one in the entire league who can defend a monster like Shaq like this!"
Rodman, flattered, chuckled excitedly and said, "Kid, I'll take you to Disneyland tonight, we'll go find the princess!"
Rodman was pleased to hear this, but O'Neal didn't like it at all.
His defense is rubbish! If you give me the ball, I'll crush him in a heartbeat!
Lin Tian's words just now resurfaced in O'Neal's mind once again.
"If we had a center of that caliber in history on our team, I would never let him go three possessions without the ball!"
The greatest center of all time!
Listen! Look!
O'Neal suddenly realized... Lin Tian really does know a lot about basketball!
O'Neal didn't know why he took Lin Tian's words to heart, since he hadn't even memorized Lin Tian's name yet.
But Lin Tian's words kept echoing in his mind!
At this moment, Lin Tian once again had the ball at the top of the arc. Just as Jordan was about to come up to receive the ball, Lin Tian suddenly waved his hand, letting Jordan walk away!
"Let me take this shot, Michael. I know their weaknesses. If I miss, I'll practice 500 extra shots after the game!" Lin Tian said, making a bold statement as he directed Jordan to move aside.
Lin Tian's words made Jordan laugh in anger.
You little rascal, getting addicted to bossing me around, huh?
Despite his thoughts, Jordan inexplicably moved towards the baseline, silently thinking, "500 shots aren't enough! It has to be 500 high-intensity shots! One less, and I'll cripple you!"
"Shaq! They're going to run a pick and roll, watch out for help defense, don't let him shoot!" Hardaway, like Lin Tian, gave the same instruction to O'Neal.
But O'Neal's reaction was completely different from Jordan's.
He remained crouched inside, ignoring Rodman who had run out.
O'Neal's mind was still replaying Lin Tian's words.
I didn't want to be lured in, but he called me the greatest center in history!
