I really play basketball

Chapter 119 Let's order first
At the end of the three quarters, the Warriors had a 19-point lead.

The game has entered garbage time.

During the break during the festival, old Nelson didn't even think about it, he just waved his hand and replaced all the main players.

The analyst on the side, Mike Budenholzer, who did not follow Popovich to San Antonio, was a little worried:

"Just play the main force like this, what if the bull doesn't follow?"

To be honest, his worries are justified, regardless of the Warriors leading by 19 points.

It is not impossible for the NBA to lose 20 points in a single quarter.

Especially for a team like the Warriors who have poor defensive discipline and only rely on offense to win.

When he comes off the bench, his best offense cannot be guaranteed.

If the opponent is allowed to play a wave of offensive, this game will not be directly reversed.

But it would be too bad if suspense reappeared in a game that had no suspense in the first place.

Worried about Budenholzer, Old Nelson shook his head. He is not the king of being reversed.

"Don't worry about it, Mike, it's just a regular season, Phil will make the right decision."

Sure enough, in the final quarter, Pippen continued to be pressed on the bench.

Kukoc led the team and played for a full 12 minutes, barely closing the gap to 11 points.

Then, the game is over.

"115 to 104, at home, the Warriors beat the Bulls!"

By the end of the game, the Oakland Coliseum had cooled off.

After all, the home team sealed the victory very early. In the last quarter, although the Bulls attacked fiercely.

But against the bench, no matter how fierce the offensive is, it can't arouse the interest of the fans on the sidelines.

This shows that the technical and tactical level on the basketball court is still very important.

It's like watching an action movie. If you are used to watching Saeko Matsushita, and then watch other teachers who are familiar with the style, you will feel the obvious gap.

It's not that I can't stand it anymore, but there must be a lot of interest.

In short, at the end of the game, the Oakland Stadium was only left with the noise everywhere.

It wasn't until Lin Xing stood up from the bench and accepted an interview with NBC TV station that there was a round of cheers in the stadium.

"Sta, I know the game ended too early. You have been sitting on the sidelines for a while, and your body is cold. Well, I will end this sideline interview as soon as possible."

The man who interviewed Lin Xing was Groom Albert. At the beginning of the interview, he gave a promise to end it as soon as possible.

Lin Xing ignored him, because he knew that even though Albert was grumpy, he himself had a way to end the sideline interview as quickly as possible.

"Okay, let's start with the first question. With regard to the 'strong showdown' that was hyped up before the game, the suspense was lost after three quarters. What do you think went wrong?"

Albert was looking forward to Lin Xing's answer of "The Bulls are too weak, Pippen is too weak", but the result——

"Strong duel? I never thought this game was a strong duel."

Albert was dumbfounded by this answer, but he quickly found the point of entry: "Why don't you think this game is a strong matchup? The Bulls are the top three in the Eastern Conference, the Warriors are the top three in the Western Conference, the top three vs. the top three..."

As a result, Lin Xing directly interrupted Albert with this question: "It's very simple, the Bulls are a fake strong team."

Albert, who was interrupted, couldn't speak up in one breath, but he understood what Lin Xing meant.

He stopped, thinking about how to proceed with the next interview.

But Lin Xing said: "Is there no problem?"

Then, without waiting for Albert to respond, he turned his head and left.

"No, no, Sta, and..."

By the time Albert realized it, Lin Xing had already gone far away.

He could only spread his hands and say, "Well, this is Si Da..."

Covering up his embarrassment at the moment...

Albert is already used to it. He often interviews Lin Xing, and Lin Xing's attitude has always been coping and hastily.

But the strange thing is that whether it is the home and away fans or the audience in front of the TV, they all love to watch Lin Xing's post-match interviews.

The reason? Lin Xing always has amazing words and unexpected actions.

It made the originally programmed post-match interview very interesting.

Just like this time, Lin Xingman did his best to answer a question.

He pointed out: The Bulls are a fake strong team.

So after the game, regarding Lin Xing's sentence "The Bulls are a pseudo-strong team", media reporters, experts, and football critics started a heated discussion.

Some people think that what Lin Xing said is correct.

"I don't think there is any problem. Judging from this game alone, the problem of the Bulls has been thoroughly exposed.

Without Mike, they can no longer play the triangle offense. For Phil Jackson, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow. "

Before this game, why did no one point out that the Bulls are a fake team?
Because Pippen, who averaged 22.4 points per game this season, gave everyone an illusion that without Jordan, Pippen could stand up and take over the singles position of the triangle offense.

But in this game, Lin Xing tore up this point.

He told everyone that Pippen's singles were a joke.

Throughout this game, facing Lin Xing's defense, Pippen only made 23 of 7 shots.

If only singles are counted, there should be 16 singles, and only 2 were successful.

What is the most important thing about the triangle offense?Some people may say that it is the axis responsible for supporting the attack.

But in fact, no matter what tactics, the most important thing is always the last one.

After all, in a basketball game, the competition is not about who has more rebounds or who has more assists, but who has more points.

The most important thing about the triangle offense is, of course, the last player who plays one-on-one and throws the basketball.

With Jordan, with Sharks and Kobe, the triangle offense was successful.

It can be said that without the incomprehensible singles, the Bulls are playing well, which is just a cruel version of the triangle offense.

The triangular offense of the abuse version can only abuse the vegetables, so the Bulls are a pseudo-strong team. Is there a problem? No problem!

But there are also people who don't agree, and who don't agree——

"Looking at the regular season, the Bulls' record against really strong teams is not bad. Against the Sonics, they won one and one loss. Against the Rockets, they won one and one loss. Against the Warriors, they still won one and one loss."

"In the East, against the Eagles, they have an advantage with 3 wins and 1 loss. Only the Knicks have [-] win and [-] losses, and they are temporarily at a disadvantage."

"The record against strong teams proves that the Bulls have nothing to do with pseudo-strong teams."

From the perspective of the regular season record, there are actually many slots.

After all, the regular season is the place where fake strong teams are born. To really prove whether a team is a fake strong team or not, we have to watch the playoffs.

The playoffs haven't started yet, so there's no conclusion.

When the two parties argue, that is, the public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right, and no one can argue with the other.

In Chicago, the depressed Danzi felt:

This bull without him is indeed a bit meaningless.

……

After the Warriors vs. Bulls game, few people mentioned the topic of the MVP battle again.

One is that in this game, Pippen really played too hips. He made 23 of 7 shots and only [-]% of his shots.

He was blasted from head to toe by Lin Xing, and was pushed to the bench by Phil Jackson in the second half of the third quarter.

For a leading star, the team is the moment to decide the outcome, but he was held off the court.

That is equivalent to his own head coach personally saying: the team will be better if he is not on the court.

The word "tumor" will be directly attached to Pippen's forehead.

And cancer is not worthy of participating in the selection of MVP.

It can be said that after this battle, Pippen has absolutely no chance of becoming the MVP of the regular season.

Second, although Lin Xing played well, he himself has no intention of competing for the MVP.

After this game, the topic became less popular.

But one thing is certain, Pippen hates Lin Xing very much now.

"He ruined what should have been my All-Star Game, and ruined my hopes of competing for the MVP of the regular season..."

But Pippen will never say these words, he will only keep them in his heart, and then wait for the right time to pour them all out.

Just like him and Danzi in 30 and [-] years, when they met occasionally, they would hug each other intimately, as if they were teammates who have been teammates for many years and are now good brothers.

Turning his head and facing the media, Pippen started spraying.

What about Danzi's selfishness, what GOAT should be Azhan instead of Danzi, and even the remarks that Danzi almost ruined basketball by not passing the ball, all came out.

Lin Xing knows Pippen very well. After all, he has experienced the period when Pippen talked freely in order to sell books.

But for Pippen, he really looked down on him.

"His ability is only worthy of being a second-in-command, so he can't compete with me."

When the Warriors were gossiping, Lin Xing said such big words.

Immediately afterwards, his official spokesman, Xiao Chong, spread the word.

It is conceivable that Pippen's hatred for Lin Xing will be further deepened.

But Lin Xing really doesn't matter, it's just Pippen, not Danzi.

Pippen really wanted revenge, but he could only wait for Danzi to come back, so that he would have a chance of revenge.

However, in this life, with Lin Xing, will Danzi come back?

……

In the first game of Lin Xing's comeback, the Warriors beat the Bulls hard.

而三节打卡下班的林星，还是有27分8个篮板7个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽入账。

MVP is still not possible, the best rookie is getting more and more stable, and he is getting closer and closer to the first team and the first defense.

After finishing this game, the time has entered late March.

In the away game, the Warriors played another game against the Mavericks.

This season, the Mavericks are at the bottom again. The regular season is at the end, and they have only won 9 games, so miserable that they can't breathe.

But you have to admit, the Mavericks are on the right track.

After the game, Mashburn was interviewed and also mentioned:

"Sta comforted me. He felt that the path we were taking was the right one. He made me believe in the process."

After thrashing the Mavericks, the Warriors flew to the East for a magic game.

Penny held back his energy, still wanting to prove himself.

But as a result, the Warriors once again relied on the shark-slashing tactic to win the game.

Penny, who has held back his strength, is just a supporting role from beginning to end.

林星24分11个篮板6个助攻3个抢断2个盖帽，带队取胜。

魔术那边，鲨鱼32分15个篮板4个助攻1个抢断4个盖帽，数据仍然华丽。

But in this game, the Warriors' hacking of the shark can be described as frenzied.

Because in this era, the off-the-ball foul rule in the last 2 minutes only takes effect for the final quarter or overtime, and does not take effect for the first three quarters.

Therefore, in the first three quarters, the Warriors slashed and slashed, and the Sharks made 33 free throws and missed 22. The Magic finally lost 8 points.

So, at the end of the game, Penny still had a look of resentment on his face.

It's really not his fault that he lost this game!
After winning this magic trick, Lin Xing also unlocked another achievement, namely——

He completed the killing of most of the most popular rookies this year!

Against Webb, he won both games. Of course, he didn't play in the second game.

Against Penny, he won both games, and against Ryder, he also won two games.

Even against Mashburn, against Sean Bradley, he won all four.

In the words of media reporters: "This year's best rookie, there is really no suspense!"

Not only is Lin Xing significantly ahead of the rookies of the same class in terms of statistics and record, but even the record in the fight against each other is crushed.

This best rookie, still need to comment?Just give the award directly!

But when Lin Xing was touted all over the United States, the Warriors lost.

They played against the Rockets for the fourth time this season and lost again.

Dameng once again hit the inside line, so there is no need to mention it.

Compared with the Sharks, Dameng has no flaws in free throws, so the Warriors really have no way to deal with him.

The most exaggerated thing about this game was that Otis Thorpe grabbed a full 21 rebounds.

With the addition of Dameng and Horry, the Rockets grabbed a full 18 offensive rebounds, which made it impossible for the Warriors to counterattack.

Without a counterattack, the Warriors are no match for the Rockets at all.

In this way, they ended in a disastrous defeat, and were killed four times by the Rockets throughout the regular season.

Because it was a home game and lost the game, the generals of the Warriors were not in a good mood and didn't want to go home, so they made an appointment to go to the Great Nate BBQ together.

It is said that I want to use the time of supper to sum up the experience of failure.

But when we got there, everyone was silent.

In the end, it was a madman who said, "Forget it, let's order first..."

For a moment, Lin Xing had an impulse, he wanted to point at the madman's nose and spray: "You are the best."

But after thinking about it, it seems that I am also pretty good, and I can't even protect the rebounds. Before spraying others, I should spray myself first.

……

Time flies, and the March journey is over.

This month, the Warriors lost more games. They lost the Knicks, the Cavaliers, the Bulls, and the Rockets.

At the end of the month, they also lost a game to the Spurs and a game to the Sonics.

Yes, that's right, the Warriors lost to the Sonics again.

Although Lin Xing was there, they just hadn't fought.

The reason is actually very simple.

At the end of the season, everyone is sprinting, and the Sonics are no exception.

In this game, they went directly to the intensity of the playoffs, using Payton to face Lin Xing from beginning to end.

As a result, Lin Xing was abused by his good brother.

He shot 24 of 8 shots, which can be said to be the first time in his career, and the hit rate is only more than [-]%.

Lin Xing has stretched his hips like this, let alone the entire Warriors.

There was nothing wrong with losing this game.

In the past three months, the Warriors lost as many as 6 games, and the loss in one month was equal to the games in the previous two months.

Don't even think about breaking into the top two.

It can only be said that it's okay, the Spurs and the Suns are also losing.

So for the time being, the Warriors' third place in the Western Conference is still sitting pretty firmly.

In this way, the Warriors ushered in the last month of the regular season with a record of 52 wins and 17 losses.

The pace of the playoffs is getting closer.
