Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 750 Paul's New Approach! No Longer Afraid of Lin Tian's CP

In fact, Lin Tian was planning to do just that!

He couldn't wait to call Jordan and Bird during the preseason to launch a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

How could he possibly miss such a great opportunity in the regular season?

Lin Tian had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

Of course, no matter how impatient he was, Lin Tian had to wait until the match was over, right?

Halfway through the third quarter, the Warriors realized they couldn't continue like this; they had to change their lineup and their playing style.

Otherwise, the game will immediately become garbage time.

So Paul and Richardson went to rest, and Ellis and Morrow came on again!

In terms of ability, consistency, and star power, these two substitutes are clearly incomparable to Paul and Richardson.

But these two have another advantage.

That means I'm the best in the world, who the hell are you?

Ellis was a second-round pick, and Morrow was an undrafted player. In the world of the NBA, both of them are examples of players who have nothing left to lose and are fearless even with nothing to lose.

At worst, we'll just be eliminated from the NBA, right? We've already been eliminated once already!

Moro is alright. This sharpshooter is the introverted type, the kind who doesn't talk much but works like crazy and cherishes every opportunity.

But Ellis, he's a typical American slum player.

He could say things like, "He's the champion, I'm the runner-up..." No, that's not it.

He's the kind of person who can say things like, "Kobe is number one, I'm number two, and LeBron is at most number three."

The main theme is arrogance and a belief that one is invincible!

Sometimes, when a team's offense and overall condition are quite poor, you have to bring in some tough, clutch players to give them a shot.

Anyway, things can't get any worse, right?

The moment these two stepped onto the field, they immediately showed their effectiveness, with the two microwave-like players demonstrating their microwave-like nature.

Heats up quickly and gets to work in no time!

Ellis immediately accelerated and, ignoring Lin Tian's almost face-blocking defense, threw in a completely wild shot.

Then, when Anthony missed his shot, Morrow received the ball at the left 45-degree angle and, despite Wallace's face-blocking defense, hit a completely haphazard three-pointer.

In less than 30 seconds, the Warriors went on a 5-0 run!

"No need to rush!" Lin Tian smiled and waved his hand.

Lin Tian has never been afraid of the scoring effect brought about by these incredible shots.

Do you really think this league is full of players at my level, Lin?

Can this kind of ball keep going in?

Are you kidding me!

So, when the Warriors finally went on a scoring run, Lin Tian calmly waved to signal everyone to relax, then went to the frontcourt and quickly executed a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Then he drove into the basket himself, and in mid-air, he used his shoulder to push aside Biedrins, who was coming to defend him, and forced his way to the basket for a layup!

When the team encounters trouble and challenges, Lin Tian, ​​as the leader, always steps forward.

After that basket, the Knicks immediately regained their rhythm. Although Jackson and Aldridge, among others, started scoring for the Warriors, Stoudemire and Anthony also found their touch!

With Lin Tian controlling the game and delivering precise passes, the Knicks' efficiency has become increasingly high.

Normally, when Chris Paul is not on the Warriors, they play very chaotically and easily fall into a situation of individualistic play, constantly using 1-on-1 to finish offensive possessions.

Most of the time, this will reduce the team's efficiency and stagnate their offense.

But tonight, the Warriors players just got stronger and stronger, constantly hitting the ball with one-on-one shots, tough shots, and shots over defenders.

They maintained a fairly high level of performance and shooting percentage throughout the second half of the third quarter.

Of course, this doesn't mean they could have been better off without Paul.

This only shows that, apart from Lin Tian, ​​the rest of the Knicks' defense was really bad and that they had a great shooting night.

For example, LaMarcus Aldridge, this big man, dominated in his first official game with his new team, scoring 30 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in just three quarters.

Both 30 points and 14 rebounds are new career highs for him!

This poor guy really had his career severely delayed last year.

Even so, even with the Warriors playing at their absolute best, they still couldn't catch up.

The score remained unchanged until the end of the third quarter.

Still 20 points!

The Warriors' team played a lot of exciting games, but they were completely unable to catch up.

There is no way.

Trying to snatch 20 points back from a team like the Knicks is an incredibly difficult task!

Let alone the Warriors playing at a high level for only half a quarter, even if they maintain this efficiency and energy throughout the second half, whether they can close the 20-point gap depends on the Knicks' performance!

In the fourth quarter, Lin Tian once again watched from the sidelines!

He only played for 9 minutes in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter he acted like he was going to sit there for a long time.

Clearly, both Don Nelson and Lin Tian himself have fully decided on the strategy and approach of playing fewer games this season.

This year, there will be plenty of opportunities for the young players on the Knicks!

Will they be able to seize the opportunity?

At least not tonight!

Because Paul came back in the fourth quarter!

The Warriors fielded a lineup of one big man and four small men, consisting of Paul, Morrow, Richardson, Jackson, and Aldridge. All five players in this lineup can shoot, and all five have the ability to shoot off the catch. In addition, apart from Aldridge, the other four are top-class shooters.

By fielding this lineup, the Warriors are clearly going all in to score points!

Whether they can achieve their goal depends most importantly on Paul!

If Paul continues in the same form he was at the beginning of the third quarter, it's clearly wishful thinking for the Warriors to close the 20-point gap!

Fortunately, Paul is one of the best point guards in the league, and also possibly the most mature-yet-young guy in the league.

Clearly, Paul figured out what he hadn't figured out during halftime while sitting in his chair in the second half of the third quarter!

This guy was incredibly energetic after he came on in the fourth quarter!

He was even more excited than when he was in his normal state.

Drives, three-point shots, mid-range jumpers after pick-and-rolls, outplaying Stoudemire...

In the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, Paul took four consecutive shots, scoring nine points for the team!

During this time, he also found Morrow and Richardson, assisting the two sharpshooters to hit three-pointers!

15 points!

In just 4 minutes, the Warriors scored a whopping 15 points!

On the Knicks' side, Anthony failed to gain the upper hand in his confrontation with Jackson. "Melo" was completely crushed by "Martial Saint" with "Azure Dragon Blade". He did not score a single point in the first 4 minutes of this quarter and missed two shots.

In other words, even with Stoudemire playing a big man and four small men on the Warriors, and Jackson guarding Anthony, he could match up against Richardson, who was less than 2 meters tall and not good at defense, so he could score at will.

Otherwise, the Warriors would have been able to close the gap to within 10 points in one fell swoop.

But now, although it's not quite within 10 points, it's close.

99: 110!

The gap between the two sides has narrowed to 11 points!

If the Warriors can defend well once more and make the next shot, the point difference will be reduced to single digits!

In previous seasons, the Knicks would have called a timeout at this point to strategize and make personnel adjustments. Even if they didn't call a timeout, they would at least have put Lin Tian back on the court.

But not Nelson.

Or perhaps he simply didn't bring Lin Tian onto the court. He called a timeout and then carefully laid out a tactic. This time he was incredibly serious and cautious. Throughout the timeout, he kept talking and giving instructions before signaling everyone to come on.

Then, Lin Tian sat down on the bench again, watching the game on the field with a relaxed and leisurely expression.

No matter how you look at it, it's clear that Don Nelson won't bring Lin Tian back onto the court until the last six minutes!

After the timeout, both teams returned to the court.

Anthony received the ball at the top of the key and then executed a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire who came up to him. Stoudemire then quickly cut to the basket, and Anthony bounced the ball to Stoudemire while simultaneously retreating to the outside. Jackson hesitated for a moment but still chose to double-team Stoudemire, who was on fire in the fourth quarter.

But just as he was moving toward the inside, Stoudemire had already passed the ball out.

He returned the ball to Anthony!

Although Jackson quickly retreated to defend, trying to block Anthony's shot, it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp crack, the Knicks extended their lead once again!

"Let me go, you bitch! Let me go again, you bitch! FUXX! FUXX!"

Anthony breathed a long sigh of relief after finally scoring, cursing under his breath, waving his arms excitedly, and shouting.

This shot will definitely help him regain his confidence!

After that play, the two teams entered a tense situation on the court once again, exchanging blows and showing great skill. The score remained close, fluctuating between 10 and 14 points.

With five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the score temporarily set at 110-121, Don Nelson finally called another timeout.

At this point in the match, Lin Tian absolutely had to come up and end the game.

After all, Lin Tian is just taking a break and giving young people some extra opportunities. He's not really being eliminated or anything like that. He has to participate in this final stage of the competition!

"Lin, I'm not afraid of you anymore!"

Back on the court, Paul, who hadn't faced Lin Tian for almost the entire quarter, looked at Lin Tian and said what was on his mind: "I'm not afraid of you at all now!"

"Oh? You've found a way to restrain or defeat me?" Lin Tian had barely finished speaking when, before Paul could even retort, he suddenly accelerated and broke through, simultaneously shoving Paul hard on the shoulder. Then, Lin Tian abruptly stopped, pulled up, and launched a mid-range jump shot!

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Tian's hand did not cool down at all despite sitting on the sidelines for so long; it remained hot and scalding!

"Chris, I didn't see that you were afraid of me! I also didn't see that you had any way to restrain me." After scoring, Lin Tian immediately found Paul and continued to trash talk him.

There was nothing he could do; Lord Lin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see promising young people lose hope and dreams because of him, nor could he bear to see young people suffer too much.

Let's throw some trash talk at Paul, give him something to look forward to, and let him forget those painful 6 minutes in the first half.

"I have no way to control you, Lin! You'll beat me to a pulp tonight, and maybe every time we meet again, you'll beat me to a pulp!"

"So what?" Paul looked at Lin Tian and sneered, "At most, you can go to Golden State and crush me again this year. Even if we make it to the Finals, you can only crush me for one more series! And then what?"

"And then you retired! And then I became the best point guard in the league! And then, nobody could beat me! I was the best!"

Paul looked at Lin Tian with confidence and anticipation for the future: "There's only one Lin in the league! And you're the only one I can't handle, so I'm not afraid at all! So what if you score 50 or 70 points tonight?"

"So what if your whole team explodes and beats us by 58 points one day?"

"How many more chances do you have?"

hiss……

Paul's line of thinking makes a lot of sense!

Unless Lin Tian changes his mind and suddenly decides not to retire, Paul's words make perfect sense!

In today's league, besides Lin Tian, ​​who else can restrain and reliably beat Paul...?

There really is one!

And there's Deron Williams, who eats, sleeps, and beats up Paul!

Hehe, as long as it's there, it's fine!

I'm just afraid there won't be any!

Moreover, one is not enough, Master Lin. He insists on finding a way to increase that number by a little more.

Seeing Paul's smug and irritating expression, as if to say, "I may not be your match, but you won't stay 18 forever," Lin Tian was very annoyed.

For no particular reason, Master Lin simply dislikes people showing off in front of him.

Let you be so cocky, you know the truth and tell everything, so if I don't mess with you, who else should I mess with?

As Lin Tian thought this, he leaned against Paul with a mischievous grin on his face!

Paul's decision was his own business, but that didn't mean Lin Tian would just let it go!

The more you want to lie down and enjoy yourself, the more I'll give you a good, hard fucking. Enjoy?

Go to the hospital, you brat!

Lin Tian once again unleashed his high-pressure defense, while Paul, true to his mindset of lying flat and letting Lin Tian trample on him, quickly passed the ball around without even thinking about organizing the team's offense.

After all, Paul's idea was absolutely right.

One is from the East, the other from the West. They only play two out of 82 regular season games. No matter how badly Lin Tian beats them, it's only a matter of 96 minutes, right?

Even if my Warriors team really dominate and sweep all the way to the Finals this year, it's just another series that you, Lin, will crush us.

What can you do!

I'm Chris, and I'm twenty-four this year!

You have so much of your life ahead of you, Lin Tianhao!

After realizing this, Paul was not afraid at all!

If you just close your eyes and fight it out, won't it be over?

make life difficult for!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three fierce, rhinoceros-like impacts slammed into Paul in quick succession.

Richardson made a dribbling mistake and was intercepted by Wallace. Wallace passed the ball to Lin Tian, ​​who was still at his own three-point line when he turned around, stuck out his butt, and hit Paul, who was a little distracted, three times in a row!

I don't care if you've figured things out or you want to die.

Anyway, I'm going to kill you tonight!

Paul was caught off guard. Instead of running away immediately, he stood in front of Lin Tian and began to defend.

Seeing that Paul wasn't running away, Lin Tian wasn't going to be polite to him anymore.

With his buttocks sticking out and his shoulder thrusting, he began a series of brutal and almost inhumane ramming attacks on Paul!

He drove all the way from his own three-point line to the Warriors' three-point line.

That was incredibly brutal!

During this period, Paul was hit hard by Lin Tian at least ten times!

From his buttocks to his shoulders and then to his elbows, once Lin Tian gets serious, he unleashes a series of small, vicious moves, leaving no room for retreat!

Honestly, even Nash in last year's Finals wasn't beaten this badly by Lin Tian.

The main reason is that Nash was smart; he knew when to run away and ran away incredibly fast.

Nash could never carry the ball from the backcourt all the way to the frontcourt like Paul did!

After being relentlessly attacked by Lin Tian more than ten times, leaving him dizzy and his internal organs churning, Paul finally came to his senses.

Dude, you don't need to keep putting on this act!

Why did you have to be so stupid as to endure Lin Tian's repeated impacts?

Lin Tian: You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

But by the time Paul realized what was happening, it was too late.

Even if Paul turns and runs away from the backcourt, he will still defend when he comes to the frontcourt.

But now that he's already beyond his own three-point line, where can Paul run to? Let Lin shoot from open space?

Just as Paul realized what was happening and was secretly regretting his actions, Lin Tian had already slammed into him several more times, almost reaching the edge of the three-second zone.

At that moment, Paul truly felt like his bones were about to shatter!

For Paul, the only good news was that the referee finally blew the whistle! (End of Chapter)
