I really play basketball

Chapter 141 Kobe has started
Time: October 1994, 11.

Location: Manhattan, New York.

Michael Jordan visited Madison Square Garden for the first time after his comeback, so this Bulls vs. Knicks is also a real focus battle.

Before this game, Jordan had found his form.

In the games against the Hawks and the Nets, he scored 30+ in a row, and even completed a lore.

Before this focus battle, Jordan could already pat his chest and say: "I have found the state of my peak!"

At the beginning of the game, Jordan's state was very hot, and he succeeded in consecutive shots.

On the Knicks side, neither John Starks nor Anthony Mason can stop the fiery Jordan.

But at the same time, the Bulls also exposed the biggest problem of the new season, the weak inside.

They haven't touched the Spurs, Rockets and Magic. This Knicks is the first time the Bulls have played against the four major centers.

As a result, Ewing, who was at the bottom of the four major centers, couldn't stop him.

Jordan succeeded in consecutive shots, and Ewing also caused consecutive kills at the basket.

The two superstars faced each other, and at the end of halftime, the Bulls were still 6 points behind.

The main reason is that the role players of the Bulls are too bad. Compared with the previous life, there are fewer Steve Kerr and Luke Longley.

There are only two players who can pull out to play, and the remaining group of role players are just four words - rotten fish and rotten shrimp!
Of course, the fact that the Bulls' bench is so bad has a lot to do with Ron Harper's diving decline.

上个赛季场均20.1分6.4个篮板4.6个助攻1.9个抢断0.7个盖帽的罗恩·哈珀，

So far in the new season, he has averaged only 7.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

This performance cannot be said to be very bad.

It can only be said that the Bulls originally expected Harper to support the bench lineup.

As a result, let’s not mention it...

The role players made a lot of trouble, and Jordan had no choice but to support himself.

He scored 21 points at halftime and went further in the second half.

In the third quarter, he scored 18 points and led the Bulls to even out the trailing score gap.

In the decisive battle at the end of the quarter, Jordan scored 16 points.

A three-pointer at the critical moment sealed the victory.

At Madison Square Garden, cheers resounded all over the world, and the away fans turned their backs.

"55 points in a single game, the highest score in a single game since the start of the new NBA season, Michael dunks back!"

The audience was full of climax, but Jordan waved his hand, as if saying:

What's so exciting about looking at you guys who haven't seen the world?It's all small scenes!

But after the game, Danzi still couldn't hold back, he announced to the camera:

"No. 45 Jordan is no worse than No. 23 Jordan!"

As a result, the gust of Danzi's 55 points hit the Bay Area.

……

"Sta, let's evaluate Michael's performance during this period,
He has scored 30+ points in three consecutive games, and he even scored a league-high 55 points in the new season yesterday.
Are you still insisting that the size 45 Miko is far inferior to the 23 Miko? "

In the first match of Lin Xing's comeback, as usual, he showed up in the parking lot of the Oakland Stadium early.

The reporter stopped him, and then a very sensitive question was thrown over him.

Lin Xing didn't think about it at first, mainly because he was used to ignoring these reporters, and walked into the player tunnel of the Oakland Stadium on his own.

But this time, the reporters surrounded him so hard that Lin Xing remembered——

His official spokesperson, Xiao Chong, is gone, and there is no one to help him out.

Shaking his head, his mood suddenly became extremely bad.

Surrounded by reporters, the irritated Lin Xing could only stop, turn around, and habitually spread his hands.

"I don't think you need to come to me as soon as Michael has a good performance. Isn't it a rare thing for him to score 55 points?"

"Who still remembers that David Robinson scored 73 points at the end of last season? Even the general can score 73 points. Is the 55 points that Mai dunks worth bragging about?"

"As for the fact that No. 45 Miko is far inferior to No. 23 Miko, I still hold this view. From the beginning to the end, I am firm."

"I believe that time will prove my point of view correct."

When the reporters heard Lin Xing's answer, they felt that they couldn't refute it.

At the same time, I also understand that the play between Lin Xing and Danzi is far from over.

If they want to understand this, they will no longer hold on to it.

Instead, he pointed the finger at Lin Xing's comeback first battle. On the one hand, when Lin Xing just mentioned Danzi, he stomped on the general.

On the other hand, on the Spurs side, the Admiral's mouth is not very clean either——

"Sta Lin is back today? Isn't that a coincidence? I haven't settled with him for his bad words at the end of last season!"

Of course, the loyal message machine will not forget the general's half-threatening, half-provoking words to Lin Xing, and then asked Lin Xing:

"Do you have anything to say in response, Star?"

After all the stops, Lin Xing just lay flat and was very happy.

"At the end of last season? How do I remember that after he scored 73 points, we played for more than a month?"

Lin Xing scratched his head, pretending to make people want to laugh.

"Oh, yes, I forgot, after 73 points is the playoffs, and the Spurs are out of the playoffs after four games..."

"Sorry sorry, for David Robinson, that was really at the end of last season."

"But for me, that's far from the end of the season!"

The reporters smothered their laughter and secretly complained——

MD, this guy is so good at mocking!
Gary Pei Wuxin: No, don't look at who this guy hung out with when he was a kid!

Lin Xing taunted the general, which escalated the incident.

The reporters still wanted to get to the bottom of the fire, and asked further questions:
"So Star, what do you think of David Robinson's harsh words before the game?"

"Opinion? Why should I have an opinion on some nonsense from an old man out of date?"

Shaking his head, Lin Xing pretended to raise his hand to look at the time.

"Okay everyone, it's getting late, I should go in."

Before the group of reporters could react, he turned his head and left.

Reporters behind: This guy doesn't wear a watch, how does he know it's getting late?

……

Lin Xing pushed open the door of the locker room of the home team at the Oakland Stadium, and what came oncoming was a loud noise.

"I touch!"

"On the bar!"

"I'm crazy, hahaha, all hahahaha!"

"..."

Four or five mahjong tables, players plus coaches, more than a dozen people gathered around, rubbing mahjong frantically.

That is to say, the locker room is big enough, otherwise it won't fit.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xing was somewhat confused.

"Am I right? Is it the home team's locker room at the Oakland Stadium?"

Lin Xing, who was scratching his head, found his seat in a daze.

emmm...it's sitting under the madman's ass.

"Latlier? Latlier? Latlier!"

He called a few times, but the madman didn't answer.

This guy is already obsessed with playing mahjong, shouting all kinds of things, what are you touching, baring, Wonima, why are you playing so fast, Gan lost money again...

Lin Xing called him twice, but of course he couldn't hear him.

No way, Lin Xing could only stretch out his right hand.

Clap!
"Wonima, who is it?"

The madman stood up abruptly, turned his head, saw Lin Xing, and immediately froze.

"Ah, Sta, it's you, why are you here?"

"Nonsense, my suspension period is over, I won't come back to play, and watch you continue to lose?"

"Hey Hey……"

"Stop smirking and give me back my seat."

……

Sitting in his seat, Lin Xing took off his coat and changed into the game equipment.

At this time, Old Nelson also arrived.

As soon as he came in, he tapped on the tactical board.

The Ma friends who were doing circles in the locker room could only rush away even if they hadn't finished punching.

After all the players returned to their seats, Old Nelson remained silent.

The main reason is that he is still hesitating about what position he should give Lin Xing in this game.

"If Stahl continues to play the [-]th position, his defensive pressure will be too great."

To put it bluntly, without Xiao Chong, the Warriors' offensive firepower must have been weakened.

Although the madman can mend a little, the threat of the madman is still not comparable to that of Xiao Chong.

The ability to fight alone is a bit worse, and the ability to play the ball is even worse.

If you want to get back the offense that was the number one fault in the league before, you have to let Lin Xing focus on offense.

Furthermore, if you want Lin Xing to focus on offense, you need to put an extra big man on the court to free Lin Xing.

But put one more big man and the space on the court will be crowded.

At this time, the old Nelson will strongly hope to be able to trade from the Sonics for the space-type fifth position Sam Perkins, or Schramf, who can do three things and four.

Or trade from the Bulls to get Tony Kukoc, who can do three things and four things, it really doesn't work, so does Terry Mills of the Pistons!

But if they really want to trade, the Warriors will bleed, and even if they bleed, they may not be able to get one of these players.

Don't even think about trading, the old Nelson who is in a dilemma can only bite the bullet.

Think about it, who is he, he is a mad scientist!

What is a scientist?Those who often do experiments are called scientists.

then--

"In this game, Star is back, we have to make some adjustments..."

Old Nelson, who made up his mind, first announced the starting lineup for this game.

"The starters for this game, center, Luke Longley, power forward Tyrone Hill..."

In the fourth position, Lin Xing couldn't hear his name, so his first reaction was: Fuck, I'm really going to play point guard!
"Small forward Chris Mullin, shooting guard Latrell Sprewell, and point guard Starr..."

Hearing that his name was above the point guard, Lin Xing just wanted to shout: I am really a point guard!

Point guard Lin was eager to try, but Old Nelson emphasized a few words to Lin Xing——

"Sta, your task in this game is very heavy. You not only have to take care of your personal offense, but you also have to drive the team's offense."

For Lin Xing, this task is indeed quite heavy.

In the past, he also had the task of leading the team's offense, but with Xiao Chong's help, even if Lin Xing couldn't lead it, the Warriors' overall offense would be orderly.

But now that Xiao Chong is gone, this will test Lin Xing's organizational skills.

"The passing ball has risen to 88. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with the regular season, right?"

……

In the infield of the Oakland Stadium, when Lin Xing played, the fans in the Bay Area welcomed Lin Xing's return with the warmest cheers.

Some fans even shouted: "Welcome back, Stalin!"

This made Lin Xing think of the scene where the Bulls fans in the United Center shouted "Welcome back, Mike" in the opening game.

"It's too much..."

Lin Xing shook his head and began to warm up.

Soon, the visiting team Spurs also played.

Because of the general's remarks before the game, the Oakland Stadium welcomed the Spurs' appearance with boos everywhere.

Speaking of the new season, the Spurs are indeed very strong.

Not only did they welcome back old teammate Sean Elliott, they also signed back another old teammate, Avery Johnson, plus Chuck Person from the Timberwolves.

The biggest problem of the Spurs last season-the lack of role players was completely solved.

At the beginning of the season, the Spurs' record has indeed improved. With 7 wins and 2 losses, they currently rank among the top two in the Western Conference.

Seeing that Dameng won almost all the honors last season, he is a very eager general.

Now he is full of ambition and feels that his season is finally coming.

But history will prove that the admiral is purely overthinking.

This Popovich's operation can indeed be described as excellent.

If the admiral is replaced by another big dream, or a shark, this Spurs really has the ability to wrestle with the Rockets.

But the problem is that the general is a dragon in the regular season and a bug in the playoffs.

No matter how good a role player is given to him, he won't be able to bring him in the playoffs.

That is to say, after waiting for Duncan, the ending of the general will only be worse than that of Ewing.

At the very least, Ewing also rushed out of the East.

The general did not have Duncan, and he never played a tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, no matter how underestimated the Spurs are, they are also the Spurs in the playoffs.

With Admiral Long in the regular season, the Spurs are still very good in the regular season.

"This game has to be won, I really can't lose..."

On the one hand, the Warriors really can't lose anymore, and if they lose again, their record at the beginning of the season will be rotten to the end.

On the other hand, all the verbal wars before the game were fought, and Lin Xing was faking it.

If you don't wear the opponent's sun, you will be slapped in the face.

In order to keep his Ying County's face, Lin Xing has to work hard?

While thinking about these, the game is also approaching.

The referee of this game, Dick Bavita, blew his whistle to urge the starters on both sides to come on the field.

Soon, Lin Xing stood on the field.

But in the next second, he began to hesitate: He is already a point guard, should he misplace to jump the ball?

Before he could make a decision, Langley had already given up his position.

The general on the opposite side also looked down at Lin Xing with that disdainful look.

When Lin Xing saw the general's eyes, he immediately refused to accept it.

He suddenly regretted not adding points to 90 for layups or dunks last time.

If there is a 90% layup or dunk in this game, if he doesn't rush to the frame and call the general to call Dad, he won't be called Stalin!
It doesn't matter if you can't break through the box, Lin Xing has already decided on this game——

"Show me how a tortoise with a golf dealer plays..."

Yes, that's right, this is a bit more direct, that is to say that Guigui has no golfers.

If you move forward three or four seasons, some people may still question: Turtles are averaging triple-doubles per game, how could they have no ball quotient.

But the fact is that the tortoise on the court knows not only to grab rebounds when defending, but also to pass the ball more to his teammates when he has 9 assists.

The rest of the time, he's just sprinting toward the rim with a single-minded drive.

Golf business?really doesn't exist...

Even if Guigui is his fan in this life, Lin Xing has to say it so honestly!

Turtles with ball dealers are very fierce.

On the offensive end, when he holds the ball, he can't stop it when he rushes up. He organizes offense, connects teammates, protects rebounds, and defends very well.

Four words - omnipotent!

In this game, Lin Xing wanted to show himself as an omnipotent individual.

Everything starts with the jump ball.

The general looked down on Lin Xing, a young man, mainly because at the end of last season, when he had nothing to do with Lin Xing, Lin Xing criticized his performance of scoring 73 points in a single game.

In a word-

Stalin, Stalin, what are you doing to provoke me?
If you mess with me, you must pay the price!

With a beep, Dick Bavetta tossed the basketball into the air.

Lin Xing jumped up high, from looking up at the admiral to not being able to see the admiral's scalp.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, there was a snap!
"It's no problem to win the jump ball when Star is out, and the Warriors still got the ball at the beginning."

The ball was in the hands of the madman, he controlled half of the court, and then passed the ball to Lin Xing.

At the top of the arc, Lin Xing began to organize an attack.

In this game, he mainly plays the point guard position, which is a big test for the Spurs' defense.

The main reason is that the defense of the Spurs' leading general Avery Johnson is so-so. After all, his registered height is only 1 meters.

The little general will definitely not be able to guard Lin Xing, and the Spurs head coach Bob Hill did not expect Lin Xing to be placed at the point guard position by the old Nelson.

So at the beginning, Lin Xing, who organized the attack, jumped directly at the little general.

The difference in height is still secondary, mainly because the gap in strength and confrontation is too large, the little general is not Lin Xing's all-in-one enemy at all.

Lin Xing, who was sprinting faster, threw off the little general, stopped suddenly at a mid-distance step, and shot directly.

Swish-!
At the beginning, he didn't hide any tricks, and directly exposed his current accurate and stable mid-range shot.

But on the sidelines, Bob Hill didn't respond.

Because Lin Xing invested in CIC, that is nothing new.

It can only be said that a ball can't explain the problem.

"It's 2 to 0. The opening wave of organizational offense was very successful!"

Lin Xing stretched out his hand and gave the madman a high five.

What, you said that you broke through and made a pull-up jumper, isn't that called an organization attack?
Then your understanding of basketball is too poor. To organize an offense and organize an offense, you must first open up your own offense before you can organize it.

Lin Xing made a mid-range shot himself, and the Spurs' defense felt the pressure.

After a while, the opponent will be on the pinch defense, and this organization will attack, won't it come?

Of course, the point is, wait a minute...

For the time being, the Spurs have not yet reacted. Lin Xing's current mid-range shot needs to be restricted by pinch defense.

3 minutes later……

"Si Da, as usual, a mediocre breakthrough, and an emergency stop in the middle distance!"

Swish!
"Go in again!"

"Three minutes into the game, Star has already scored 3 points in a row relying on mid-range shots!"

"His mid-range shot in this game is really surprising!"

NBC's commentator, Matt Gutica, was surprised.

Lin Xing can shoot mid-range shots, but there has never been a game like this game, from the beginning to the end, he shot mid-range shots uninterruptedly.

However, the most important thing is that the four mid-range shots made in the opening game all scored!
On the sidelines, Bob Hill frowned.

If it weren't for the Spurs, Sean Elliott hit a three-pointer, plus two goals scored by the general inside.

In 3 minutes, the Spurs also scored 7 points in total.

He must have called a timeout without hesitation and held down Lin Xing.

On the court, the score was 7-8, the Spurs' round.

Lin Xing confronted the little general. He was the main point guard in this game, and he really felt the ease of the defensive end.

As far as the little general's offensive threat is concerned, is it any different in front of him?

With this ball, Lin Xing pressed against the little general.

The little general seems to be controlling the ball in a calm manner, but in fact, the steps under his feet are already chaotic.

When the chaos arrived, Lin Xing suddenly sensed the opportunity to steal.

Without even thinking about it, he just stretched out his hand.

Snapped!
The long arm poked away the basketball. In this wave, Lin Xing not only defended against the little general's offensive threat, it was zero.

The offensive threat of the little general who defended was directly negative.

After completing the steal, he controlled the basketball and accelerated.

Single-handedly rushed to the front court, jumped up directly.

While gliding, it buckled a big windmill.

With a bang, the Oakland Stadium was overwhelmed, and cheers swept across the sky.

Lin Xing on the field was calm.

It's just a slam dunk, it's a routine operation, what's there to get excited about?Sit down!

Lin Xing, who had no waves in Gujing, returned to the backcourt. He hadn't realized that he had already scored 4 points in less than 10 minutes.

What about organizing the attack?

Lin Xing organized the offense until later, the admiral missed a mid-range Jagged jumper.

Turning around, Lin Xing hit another mid-range shot. In the opening 4 minutes, he scored 6 points on 6-for-12, forcing a timeout from Bob Hill.

After a pause, it really starts.

After the timeout, the score was 7 to 12, another round for the Spurs.

They still looked for the generals who were in urgent need of scoring. To put it bluntly, the Spurs' configuration is still flawed compared to the Rockets.

They're missing a perimeter ballhandler like Sam Cassell, or Glider Drexler, who hasn't arrived yet.

The general and Sean Elliott can hold the ball, but the threat is really not that great.

It can only be said that in this era when insiders are king, the style of play centered on the center is the mainstream.

In the regular season, the general's pass can connect the Spurs.

So, after halftime, the admiral was found, and then the admiral hit Longley with a hook.

9 to 12, the Spurs pulled back 2 points.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Warriors' turn.

It was still Lin Xing, another unstoppable breakthrough against the little general's defense.

But this time, the Spurs have changed.

They went to the false zone defense, and Del Negro, who was close to Lin Xing's side, rushed up directly, which was a pinch defense.

As soon as the defense arrived, Lin Xing scored the ball in the next second.

The madman who caught the ball missed the ball without strong interference in front of him.

There was a bang, and the sound of iron striking did not make Lin Xing alert.

He also stretched out his right hand and patted the madman.

"It's okay, I'll make another one later, just find the texture!"

Moments later, another round for the Warriors.

Lin Xingyi hit another one in a gourd-like manner, and the moment he attracted the pinch defense, he distributed the ball.

As far as the passing of 88 is concerned, it is still slightly improved compared to 83.

Lin Xing gave the ball to the madman again, and it was still very comfortable.

but……

With a bang, the madman struck again.

Lin Xing opened his mouth, sensing something was wrong.

"There is nothing wrong with my pass. If you don't make the pass, it can't be considered that I failed to organize the attack, right?"

A few minutes later, the Spurs slowly grinded by relying on positional warfare, grinding to overtake the score.

Of course, in the final analysis, the Warriors' offense is still unqualified.

I don't know what's wrong, Lin Xing's pass is fine, but the madman who catches his pass is crazy.

Lin Xing wondered if this guy went to Big Bird for a walk last night.

Mullin scored two goals when he received the pass, but the overall efficiency was not very high.

Half of Lin Xing's organized attack failed.

Looking at the score again, at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs took a 28-point lead with a score of 26 to 2.

The remaining half is also a failure.

"What does this mean? Passing the ball can't win the game?"

In the second quarter, Lin Xing tried again, but the result was still the same as the second half of the first quarter.

Mullin can advance, but the efficiency is not high; the madman is not in the state, crazily strikes iron;

Steve Kerr and Dale Ellis, who came off the bench, are both in good shape, but it is too much to expect them to change the situation.

At the end of the halftime game, with Lin Xing scoring 23 points, the Warriors still trailed the Spurs by as much as 52 points with a score of 56 to 4.

The admiral who scored 17 points and 11 rebounds in the half was very embarrassed. He felt that there was a high probability that he would win this game.

Lin Xing, who didn't want to lose, was heartbroken——

"Damn it, don't be a tortoise, I'm going to be Kobe!"

In short, he's going to be alone!

Since passing the ball can't win the game, then do it yourself and use your own scoring to kill this Spurs!
Anyway, in this match, Lin Xing was in very good condition...
