Chapter 70: After the Black Elbow comes the Black Foot! The Utah Twin Blacks truly live up to their
"Three minutes, guys, three minutes!"
Phil Jackson clapped his hands and said, "Give me a 30-point lead, then you can come down and start thinking about where to hold Lin Kai's victory celebration tonight!"
"A victory celebration banquet!"
"I'll book a room!"
"Dry to death, just like others!"
Amidst cheers, the Bulls, united as one, stepped back onto the court!
In the first round between the two sides, Stockton finally found an opportunity.
He received the ball beyond the three-point line, and forced a three-pointer over Lin Tian's defense, which went in!
After being dominated for almost the entire game, Stockton scored and then grinned arrogantly, unleashing a barrage of trash talk at Lin Tian.
"9:39!" Lin Tian casually stated the score between the two players in front of Stockton.
Then, less than 10 seconds later, he blew past Stockton again and hit another mid-range pull-up jumper! Lin Tian was absolutely on fire tonight! He entered that kind of godlike state that many people might only experience once in their lifetime!
"9:41!"
After scoring, Lin Tian turned to Stockton and said two more numbers: "Even if I played against my dog, I wouldn't beat him this badly! You should consider retiring, old dog!"
"Kid, what are you so smug about?" Stockton said. "You're just a substitute! You're less important to your team than a water boy!"
"Yes, yes, you are very important. You are the second-in-command of your team, but do you know why you can't make it to the finals and always get crushed in the West?" Lin Tian used his body to block Stockton and suddenly made a move. Although he didn't break Stockton's arm, he still made him break out in a cold sweat!
"Because no matter what team it is, if the second-in-command is someone like you, then even if the leader is God, he can't win the championship! You're too bad!" Lin Tian said, while winking at Pippen next door. Pippen, who was also a cunning old fox, immediately rushed over and double-teamed Stockton with Lin Tian!
After Lin Tian noticed that Pippen was blocking the referee's view, he raised his hand and gave Stockton a hard pinch on the waist!
Before Stockton could even let out a scream, Pippen had already snatched the basketball away!
Lin Tian immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt, then easily received a pass from Pippen and slammed it home with one hand!
When Lin Tian faced Stockton again, Stockton's eyes were filled with resentment and anger!
"Kid, you tricked me!"
"Yeah, I tricked you, so what?" Lin Tian shrugged, completely unfazed by Stockton's threat. "Also, 9:43!"
A frustrated Stockton gritted his teeth as he attacked!
As he broke through, he seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful elbow strike to Lin Tian's chest!
He originally thought that Lin Tian would continue to fight him head-on, and that this time he could hit Lin Tian hard and make him suffer a real loss.
Stockton didn't expect Lin Tian to scream and fall backward! The elbow barely touched Lin Tian! But Stockton's elbow was completely exposed to the referee and was caught precisely!
"Offensive foul!"
This is the Joint Center!
The referee, of course, wouldn't give Stockton any leeway and immediately issued an offensive foul!
"So that's all you're capable of. I thought you were some kind of genius." Lin Tian shrugged. "Poor offense, poor defense, poor speed, poor strength, and even your basic skills are terrible? What else do you have? Huh? Tell me, what else do you have?"
As Lin Tian advanced, he kept spewing trash talk at Stockton.
At the same time, they were also observing the situation on the field.
"Even if you can stop me just once, just once, don't let me get past you so easily!" Lin Tian continued to provoke Stockton with words as he advanced all the way to the frontcourt.
Then, seizing the opportunity, he accelerated again and forced his way through!
This time, Stockton gritted his teeth and refused to give up an inch, sticking tightly to Lin Tian and managing not to lose his defensive position!
But this was exactly what Lin Tian had been waiting for!
He was just waiting for Stockton to catch up with him!
Therefore, Lin Tian's speed was not actually at its limit; he was moving forward at a constant speed!
The Jazz's defense, which had been tormented by Lin Tian all night, quickly collapsed the moment Lin Tian charged into the paint. Malone and Hornacek rushed towards Lin Tian from two directions at the same time, forming a triple-team!
Normally, Lin Tian would definitely choose to pass the ball.
But this time, he saw the resentment and ferocity in Malone and Stockton's eyes!
He knew that these two weren't there to protect him!
So, Lin Tian immediately equipped the 'Invincible Iron Elbow' that he had just acquired in the first half!
One second later, three Jazz players surrounded Lin Tian.
Malone's iron elbow slammed towards Lin Tian's face! He had been waiting for this for so long, just waiting for Lin Tian to rush into the paint so he could give him a hard blow!
This time, he didn't hold back at all!
Stockton was even more insidious. He had already placed his foot under Lin Tian's feet. If Lin Tian was unlucky enough to step on his foot, he would at least get a sprained ankle and have to rest for at least ten days to half a month!
On the contrary, Hornacek did not play dirty tricks on Lin Tianxia; his eyes were only on basketball!
Just as Malone and Stockton were feeling incredibly smug and were about to completely defeat Lin Tian, Lin Tian's speed suddenly changed!
He first leaned heavily against Stockton to dodge Malone's iron elbow, and then his elbow swung fiercely, hitting Stockton's side!
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, Stockton's eyes widened, and then he let out a groan before collapsing to the floor!
Lin Tian also took the opportunity to "fake fall," cleverly losing his balance and dodging Malone and Hornacek while also charging towards Stockton.
"Snapped!"
After a moment of chaos, Lin Tian and Stockton both fell to the floor. Most people didn't know what had just happened. The fans in the United Center thought that Malone and Stockton had taken down Lin Tian again, and immediately started booing and cursing!
You took down Jordan in one game, and now you've even ruined our Lin?
Damn it! If these Salt Lake City bastards leave Chicago alive tonight, Chicago fans will never be able to leave the house again!
I can't bear the shame!
Lin Tian, who was lying on the floor, was completely unharmed. In fact, he was quite excited!
The relentless pressure and complete domination throughout the night, culminating in that final iron elbow, finally forced Stockton to unleash his full potential!
"Stockton's emotional state caused him to drop a one-time-use item: Insidious Black Kick (3 times)!"
"Insidious Black Kick: Increases the chance of the opponent suffering serious injury by 5% when using the Backstab!"
