Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 666 The world will remember this night! Lin Tian will not...

But if you don't raise your hand, will Lin Tian not try to steal the ball?

Of course not!

Lin Tian noticed out of the corner of his eye that it was Sean May and Okafor coming up again, so he stepped forward to get a better position and squeezed in front of them, causing their high double screen to fail before it could even be executed!

Felton noticed Lin Tianzhen pressing him closely, but still hesitated and chose to pass the ball!

He quickly passed the ball out, clearly intimidated by Lin Tian's close defense!

The little bit of confidence and courage he had just mustered by gritting his teeth was completely shattered by Lin Tian's single step forward to defend.

But Felton's pass was too hasty and rushed, and haste means there's a weakness!

Ariza, who was originally guarding Anderson, saw an opportunity, suddenly stepped forward to block the ball, grabbed it, and quickly passed it to Lin Tian!

After receiving the ball, Lin Tian was completely at ease. He didn't even accelerate, but instead dribbled across half-court in a strolling manner, until he was two steps away from the Bobcats' three-point line. Then, Lin Tian jumped again and launched a super long three-pointer!

At this moment, the Bobcats' interior defense was completely empty!

With no one around, Lin Tian launched another long-range three-pointer! He didn't even bother to get any closer to the three-point line!

This shooting style is absolutely unique and unparalleled!

"Whoosh!"

Then, a resounding, crisp sound rang out as Lin Tian hit his second three-pointer in a row!

「94分了！94分了！林已经轰下94分了！」巴克利兴奋的大吼道：「100分！他距离100分只有咫尺之遥！比赛时间还有2分4秒！」

"Go Lin!" Even Kenny couldn't hold back this time! A whole new history and the most insane single-game scoring show in NBA history were right before their eyes.

Even these two people had never witnessed Chamberlain's 100-point battle nearly 40 years ago.

But tonight, they will witness Lin Tian's perfect performance live.

It's impossible not to have expectations, and it's even more impossible for them to remain calm and neutral at this time!

No matter how experienced a commentator is, they cannot remain silent at this moment!

Their condition reflects the feelings of everyone watching this game!

I'm really looking forward to it!

They want to see Lin Tian break records; they want to see Lin Tian score over 100 points!

There's still plenty of time!

"Press it down! Press it down for me! You fucking slow down! Do you really want him to score 100 points?!" Brown couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and yelled at Felton on the sidelines, but what he wanted was to calm Felton down.

For the Bobcats right now, the most important thing is to slow down the pace of the attack and reduce the number of rounds, so that Lin Tian has as few opportunities and chances to attack as possible!

Otherwise, this guy would have really scored three digits!

As for winning?

Even though the team is only down by 6 points, Brown has forgotten about winning.

Not just Brown, but the entire Bobcats team seemed to have forgotten that they were still chasing victory.

I'm not considering it!

Don't even think about winning!

The most important thing now is to limit Lin Tian's scoring!

At the very least, it has to be limited to 99 points or below!

Under no circumstances can you let him score more than 100 points!

The Bobcats kept giving up, lowering their baseline again and again.

But tonight, they've encountered Lin Tian, ​​who is the most unreasonable and aggressive person imaginable!

Even though the Bobcats used up a full 22 seconds of their 24-second shot clock on their next possession before taking a shot, Shawn May's mid-range jumper still went in.

But Lin Tian completely ignored their idea of ​​slowing down the pace and reducing the number of rounds!

The instant Sean May scored, Lin Tian had already instructed his teammates to quickly pass the ball to the baseline. He then dribbled the ball with his head down and charged forward recklessly!

Lin Tian also knew that an opportunity like tonight was absolutely rare and hard to come by!

Now that the opportunity has arrived, we must seize it!

After driving all the way to the frontcourt, even though there were two Bobcats players, Felton and Anderson, in front of Lin Tian, ​​he ignored them and dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the free throw line before suddenly stopping, then pulling up and throwing it!

"Whoosh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian scored another two points!

Compared to the Lynx's 22 seconds to score, which successfully compressed the time, Lin Tian only took 6 seconds this time!

From receiving the ball to advancing to shooting, there was no pause, no waiting; he just drove to the frontcourt and shot!

A round ends in 6 seconds and a point is scored!

This is what makes Lin Tian so terrifying!

There are 1 minute and 38 seconds left in the game!

Score: 139-133!

The gap is still 6 points!

"96 points! 96 points! Lin has scored 96 points! Just 4 more points! He'll surpass double digits and break 100 points in a single game! Let's all cheer for Lin!"

Kenny was now completely unleashing his passion, spreading his arms and shouting excitedly.

Barkley, standing next to him, had clenched his fists so tightly that he couldn't even speak.

And the reactions of fans across the United States and even around the world who watched the game were basically the same two.

They either cheered wildly and shouted encouragement, or they were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that their breathing would cause Lin Tian to miss his next shot.

"Incredible!" Kobe stared at the big screen of his TV, his mouth slightly agape, but that was all he could say. Besides being amazed, he also knew very well that he could never do anything like Lin Tian.

This guy is way better than me!

Once again, Kobe gave in to Lin Tian in his heart!

Besides Kobe, countless other players across the United States were also drawn to their televisions early on by a phone call or shout from their family, friends, teammates, agents, or other acquaintances.

They were amazed, incredulous. Their eyes widened as they repeatedly checked Lin Tian's data before they had no choice but to believe it was true.

That's terrifying! That's so scary!

Besides the players, fans across the United States were kneeling in front of their television sets watching the game.

Lin Tian has once again shocked the basketball world tonight!

But the competition isn't over yet!

His performance tonight has only just reached its climax!

Everyone was incredibly nervous at that moment! But beyond the nervousness, there was an overwhelming sense of anticipation!

The Bobcats had fallen silent; their once-mighty momentum had vanished, replaced by fear and unease.

Are we going to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever?

This fear and anxiety, when applied to the basketball court, translates into a chaotic and disorganized offense, completely unable to organize any effective or reliable attacks.

The good news is that the Bobcats didn't make any mistakes. They used up almost the entire 24-second shot clock before Carroll, who was incredibly accurate tonight, hit a three-pointer, which then missed.

Smith jumped up again to grab the rebound, and then immediately passed it to Lin Tian.

The final 1 minute and 14 seconds!

At this moment, fans across the United States and even the world are incredibly impatient!

They hope Lin Tian can launch a fast break and shoot as quickly as possible, taking as many shots as possible, in order to achieve the second miracle in NBA history!

But at this moment, Lin Tian was no longer in a hurry.

He completely relaxed and dribbled to the frontcourt at a leisurely pace. He had barely crossed halfway when three Bobcats players pounced on him!

Starting from midfield, three players double-teamed them!

This wasn't Brown's doing.

But at this point, Brown no longer needed to make any arrangements.

If the Bobcats players have any self-respect and don't want to be etched in shame for the rest of their lives, they have to do this right now!

96 points is already very high and terrifying, but it's not the highest in history yet. If Lin Tian gets another 4 points, they'll never be able to hold their heads high again!

Facing a triple team and Smith unguarded in the paint, Lin Tian didn't hesitate. He jumped up and made a long pass to Smith under the basket.

Facing an open basket, Smith, who was unguarded, did not jump to dunk. Instead, he turned around and passed the ball to Hill on the wing.

Hill received the ball and, without hesitation, bounced it to the middle!

There, Lin Tian, ​​disregarding the double team, frantically cut towards the inside!

He's incredibly fast!

He managed to leave behind all three Bobcats players who were trying to defend him!

"The Bobcats are so worried they've lost their minds! They've completely lost their composure! They've spread their defensive zone way too wide! They shouldn't have spread it so wide! Because once Lin Chong gets going, they simply won't be able to catch him!" Barkley shouted. "They've lost their minds!"

"No, it's not that they've lost their minds," Kenny added. "They've left the paint wide open; their entire three-second zone is unguarded! They're hoping Smith will just dunk!"

"But the Knicks were too smart! The Knicks didn't fall for it at all! They didn't dunk on the open layup! They were going to pass it to Lin! They were going to pass it to Lin! Everyone knew what Lin was doing! Everyone was waiting! Lin, Lin took the shot! A close-range floater!"

"Bang!"

Amidst great anticipation, Lin Tian's near-basket shot missed. Okafor mustered all his strength, grabbed the basketball, and held it tightly in his arms as if it were his son whom he had finally found after three years of separation.

It was as if if she let go, she would lose her son again, whom she had finally reunited with.

Only after Okafor was sure there were no Knicks players around and that he was safe did he calmly pass the ball to Felton.

"Hold on, guys, hold on! Let's finish this round steadily!"

Lin Tian's missed shot finally gave the Bobcats players a sigh of relief! Felton also recovered somewhat.

This missed shot is not a good time for Lin Tian.

With 58 seconds left, the Bobcats have possession! They can run out another full 24 seconds!

"Stay calm! Everyone stay calm!" Brown had almost walked all the way from the Bobcats' bench to the Lakers' bench. He was really anxious. In this last minute, his tension was no less than when he led the Pistons against the Lakers in the Finals.

100 points!

No matter what, we can't let Lin Tian get it!

The Bobcats still play the same style of play: aiming to avoid mistakes rather than achieve great things.

The whole team calmed down and tried to kill as much time as possible.

To everyone's surprise, the Knicks didn't press them! Lin Tian and the others simply stood in their defensive positions and watched the Bobcats run down the clock.

"Go! Everyone go up and defend!" Barkley was so anxious that he was scratching his head, wishing he could take the court himself to steal the ball and assist Lin Tian for another 2 points.

It would be such a shame if Lin Tian didn't get 100 points after all this!

Moreover, if Lin Tian doesn't get it tonight, he will most likely never get 100 points in his life.

There couldn't be a better opportunity.

Go!

This is what almost everyone is thinking now: Knicks, you should go for it!

At this point, what are we waiting for?

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious or worried others were, the Knicks stood firm on their defensive positions, calmly watching the Bobcats run out of 24 seconds, until Felton casually took a three-pointer and missed.

Smith grabbed the rebound once again, and this time he quickly called a timeout. The team needed to make some arrangements and inbound the ball from the frontcourt.

Save time!

There are only 34 seconds left.

"These New York bastards! Don't even think about getting 100 points on us!" Brown's eyes were already red. The Knicks were leading by 6 points, and he had already given up on winning. The outcome was obviously decided, but the Knicks still called a timeout! It was clear that they wanted to help Lin Tian get the remaining 4 points.

Deceiving too much!

But you've gone too far. You have a way to call a pause to let Lin Tian score points, but I have plenty of ways to deal with that!

"After the ball is set off, two of you stick with Lin, don't let him get away even for a second, don't let him receive the ball! The rest of you, no matter who gets the ball, no matter who the ball is passed to, you all foul him immediately!"

"Send everyone except Lin to the free-throw line! Understand? I don't want Lin to receive the ball! As for the others, let them take the free throws however they want!"

"clear!"

The Bobcats players nodded in unison, agreeing with Brown's tactics.

That's a really dirty trick!

We'd rather let the Knicks score easily from the free-throw line than give Lin Tian any chance to get the ball!

But let me tell you, this is absolutely a golden opportunity! It's also the best way for the Lynx team to stop Lin Tian from getting 100 points.

"Based on my understanding of that old slacker Larry, he'll definitely go all out on defense to shut down Lin, preventing him from receiving the ball and touching it. Then, he'll foul whoever gets the ball immediately, sending us to the free-throw line!"

"What he wants is possession of the ball, he wants Lin to not get the ball."

During the timeout, Don Nelson casually said, "So, our solution is simple: don't give Lin a chance to receive the ball? Then we won't receive the ball."

"Nazir, you catch the ball later!"

Old Nelson looked around at everyone and suddenly pointed to the team's third center and absolute benchwarmer, Nazir Muhammad.

"Just take the free throw normally. If you can control it, tilt it a little to the left. If you can't, just let it be." There was only one reason why Old Nelson let Muhammad come on to receive the ball at this time.

This guy's free throw percentage this season is only 48%, and his career free throw percentage is only 55%.

Definitely a poor free throw shooter.

At this point, it's time for the free-throw shooter to step in!

His purpose was as simple as it gets.

Your job, Muhammad, is to miss free throws, then Lin Tian goes for the rebound and makes a putback!

Not giving me a chance to get the ball?

Then we'll just grab it ourselves!

Furthermore, after instructing Mohammed to receive the ball and take the free throw, Old Nelson grinned mischievously and proceeded with the second phase of tactical instructions!

With 34 seconds left, he was determined to get Lin Tian the 100 points!

"Do you think that old bastard Nelson will suddenly substitute Lin at this point?" Just as the two head coaches were playing mind games, Barkley suddenly stroked his chin and said, "After all, theoretically speaking, the Bobcats have already lost, they have no chance."

"Given Lin's personality and past choices, he might just quit at this point and go to rest instead of playing."

"If I were Don Nelson," Kenny shook his head immediately, "I'd tie Lin up and bring him to the court!"

"In other competitions, if you don't want to play, you don't have to; in other competitions, you can show your sportsmanship! But tonight, in this situation, is this the time for you to show your sportsmanship? 100 points are right in front of you; whether you get them or not, you have to fight tooth and nail for them!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"At least for Lin, this isn't a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Barkley said again. "Have you forgotten the game where he scored 80 points? He went to the bench early to rest, and the playoff game where he scored 40+ points in a single quarter, he didn't play the fourth quarter either."

"The things we pursue, yearn for, and dream about, that bastard Lin has never cared about at all!"

"He might really just not play! I know this guy too well, I even think he might be doing this on purpose because he knows we expect him to break the record, he might be deliberately choosing to give up!"

"Hey, I won't let you see! Prank successful!"

"Lin, he just has this kind of low-class, perverse sense of humor!"

Barkley's analysis truly made countless fans feel anxious.

Because they knew that Barkley was right; Lin Tian really was such a bastard, and he genuinely enjoyed this kind of bullshit, perverse pleasure.

"Beep beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the timeout ended, and both teams' players went onto the court.

Looking at the lineups of both teams, all the fans breathed a sigh of relief, while inwardly cursing Barkley.

That fatso is stirring up trouble! He almost scared us to death!

Our Lin, isn't he up there now?! (End of Chapter)
