I really play basketball

Chapter 161 Dan Zi's Visit
In January, the Warriors ushered in a wonderful schedule.

After two victories against the Kings and an away win over the Trail Blazers, the Warriors have won 7 games in a row.

Before the Bulls, the Warriors still have two games to play.

An away game against the Lakers, and another home game against the Cavaliers from afar.

The opponents in these two games are not very strong.

The Lakers played first. In this game, the old Nelson rested several veterans such as Mullin and the old chief.

And the process of this game is no different from playing the Lakers for the first time this season.

Lin Xing and Gatlin's pick-and-roll tore through the Lakers' already fragile line of defense, and they suppressed the Lakers just by attacking.

Afterwards, the madman also took advantage of Mullin's absence to control Lin Xing's remaining possession of the ball and played like an All-Star.

林星24分10个篮板10个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，拿下一个经济型三双。

The Warriors won comfortably, their eighth straight game in that span.

For the knights who played later, the process was also very easy.

Lin Xing's mid-range shots don't feel good, but relying on successful defense, Mark Price defended 12 for 4, and Trier Brandon, who came off the bench, scored 13 for 4.

The Cavaliers' two point guards scored a total of 25 of 8, and they were defended by Lin Xing alone into two big iron walls.

Relying on defense, the Warriors won easily and won their ninth consecutive victory in this period.

After the game, the headlines of the major media——

"Nine consecutive victories, the Warriors are in hot form!"

"In the next game, the Warriors will fight the Bulls. The battle for the top ticket and ten consecutive victories, will this match be a big loss?"

Ten consecutive victories, plus the wishful thinking of the Chicago media to compete for the top ticket.

It seems that this upcoming Warriors vs. Bulls game is of great significance.

But in fact……

In Chicago, Danzi also set his sights on this focus battle early.

After all, he is Michael Jordan, the Michael Jordan who never admits defeat.

He had already learned from the painful experience of losing the first game of his comeback, and wanted to use this game to regain his position.

Now with the dispute over the all-star ticket winner, Danzi understands that he must win this game.

But the problem is, winning is not that simple.

Not to mention anything else, during this period of time, the state of the Bulls can be said to be extremely bad.

On January 1995, 1, US time, the Bulls played against the Celtics.

This game was quite normal. Danzi scored 23 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. He acted like a father and a mother, and led the team to win.

But the next day, in a back-to-back game against the poor team of the 76ers, Danzi was 19 of 5, and his state fell to the bottom, and the Bulls lost the game because of this.

The most recent game was January 1, a game against the Nets at home.

The Bulls had a tough time against a Nets led by Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson.

The main reason is that no one can match Coleman inside. This very undisciplined but talented power forward single-handedly exploded the Bulls' weak inside.

Danzi was forced to fire infinitely, but he made 31 of 13 shots, a 41.9% shooting rate, although he scored 37 points.

But after all, he smashed 18 fine irons, and the Bulls still lost this game.

After losing the game, the Bulls left Chicago and set off for Oakland on the west coast.

Therefore, before this focus battle, the Bulls were in a bad state of two-game losing streak.

"Everybody thought it was going to be a showdown, but let's be honest—

The Bulls, who have lost two games in a row and are about to fall out of the Eastern Conference playoff ranks this season, really don't deserve to be compared with the Warriors, who have won nine games in a row and currently rank first in the league. "

Yes, that's right, the Warriors' winning streak has allowed them to surpass the Jazz and Supersonics.

Became No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the league.

The Warriors number one in the league, the Bulls on the verge of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The match between these two teams does not look like a strong match.

Before the game, a program on NBC mentioned this.

Don't think that they are praising the warriors and demoting the bulls. In fact, their purpose is-

Before the game, prevent the Bulls from losing, and weaken the impact of the game.

What is more important to emphasize in this game is Danzi's matchup victory against Lin Xing.

simply put--

Although Lin Xing has played a phenomenal personal performance this season;
Although Lin Xing's overall data this season is better than Danzi;
Although Lin Xing's 74 points are far higher than Dan Zi's 55 points;
But the public opinion is that the current Danzi is still better than Lin Xing, and he is much stronger.

Almost all media experts and journalists have identified:
In this game, Dan Zi, who has returned to the top, will give Lin Xing a hard lesson.

Lin Xing...

He is very confident, and the reason for his self-confidence is not only the opener, he made a danzi.

At that time, Danzi gave him the feeling that this guy is a fortune now, and his comeback is just looking for abuse.

Of course, Danzi adjusted very quickly, and now he is indeed [-]% of his peak.

But Lin Xing still felt that Danzi on the 45th was not as good as the Danzi on the 23rd.

It shouldn't be difficult to win a number 45 Danzi, right?

……

While Lin Xing was thinking about how to win against Danzi, before the match, Old Nelson came up with a trick.

In fact, it was not a showy operation. Old Nelson watched a few games that the Bulls lost and found an easy way to win.

Simply put—

"Sta, for this game, we need you to return to the fourth position..."

Since the Bulls' inside line is weak, let Lin Xing return to the fourth position and stare at the Bulls' inside line for a while.

This match was hyped up by the outside world, what is the main event, what is the focus of the game, and what is the strong confrontation.

Old Nelson sneered: Don't be ridiculous, he only needs a small adjustment in this game, and the Warriors can win easily and casually.

When Lin Xing heard that he was going back to number four, he was taken aback for a moment.

Then, he accepted the old Nelson's adjustment.

It's okay to go back to the fourth position, among other things, for Master Zen, who should be used to defend Lin Xing will be a big problem.

For the Bulls, that's the problem.

For the Warriors and Lin Xing, this is a great benefit!

The only problem is-

"Don, I have a small question."

"what?"

"I'm going to the fourth position, who is going to guard against Michael?"

"you."

"Misplacement defense?"

"if not?"

Old Nelson still remembers the opening game, the madman's defense against Danzi was called a hip pull.

If it weren't for Lin Xing's defense and supplementary defense, it would have been impossible for Danzi to smash 21 irons in the opening game.

At that time, Danzi still didn't find the state of Danzi.

If Danzi, who had returned to the top, let the madman guard against him, wouldn't that be the end of it?
Therefore, the task of Fang Danzi can only be given to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing nodded, and took over this somewhat heavy task.

To be honest, although he is confident of winning this battle with Danzi, Lin Xing still has no confidence in defending Danzi.

After all, the current Danzi has indeed returned to his peak.

Even if it is only [-]% of the peak, it is enough to blow Lin Xing's defense.

Lin Xing has a good reference - supersonic.

In the game he played against the Supersonics not long ago, if it weren't for the A-Zhan-style anti-hip pull method, he might really be out of the sky like Danzi in the opener.

Later in the Finals, the Sonics' successful defense against Danzi was said to be a success, but Danzi still scored an average of 27.3 points per game.

The supersonic zone defense and systematic rotation defense can only defend against Danzi like this.

The Warriors rely on Lin Xing's single defense, and the ending can be imagined.

Lin Xing knew that he couldn't compare to defending.

If he wanted to win, he had to stand up on the offensive end and suppress Danzi.

……

Compared with the Warriors, there is a moth, but the Bulls are unchanged.

Before the game, Zen Master did not make any changes.

In the face of the enemy, Danzi also behaved as usual.

Arriving at noon in the Bay Area, Danzi was besieged by reporters, and even uttered harsh words in an interview——

"I know I was in a bad state at the beginning of the season, but now it's different, I've found myself at my peak..."

"A me at my peak is a scary moment for the NBA."

"Believe me, this game, I will let Stalin know that he just won an unreal me at the beginning of the season."

When Lin Xing saw the word "horrible moment" again, Lin Xing's first reaction was——

Danzi is infected?Doesn't he know that this is a typical flag-setting behavior?
While he was scratching his chin and thinking about all this, while cramming before the game and practicing three-pointers under the guidance of Tim Glover, Glover's cell phone rang.

A quick bell rang, and Glover made an apologetic gesture to Lin Xing and Fat Chong who was losing weight.

Then, he walked to the sidelines and connected the phone.

After exchanging a few words, he looked at Lin Xing with a very strange look.

"Well, Si Da, someone said he wanted to see you..."

Lin Xing's first reaction was that it was very strange.

This is his training hall, who would come here to have a look by name?

"Someone? Who is it?"

Fat Chong on the side rolled his eyes: "Are you being nonchalant? Si Da, who else can there be?"

As soon as Lin Xing was reminded by him, he immediately thought of——

"Rice cake Jordan?"

"It's him."

"This guy is coming, what's going on?"

Tim Glover spread his hands, he didn't know what was going on.

Lin Xing also had no choice but to...

"Okay, let him come."

Lin Xing was sweating profusely, shooting three-pointers one after another.

He realized that in this game against the Bulls, maybe Zen Master would use the supersonic's abnormal pinch defense to deal with him.

At that time, three points will be very important.

After voting for about half an hour, Tim Glover received another call.

After a brief exchange of two sentences, he hung up the phone and said to Lin Xing, "He's here, I'll pick him up."

Lin Xing was inexplicably excited when he heard that Danzi was about to appear in his training hall and face to face with himself in private.

Excited, even the hand that had been steadily hitting the wide open three-pointer in the training trembled twice.

Bang dang, bang dang...

Two slaps on the refined iron made Fat Chong look contemptuous.

"Look at your bear, isn't it just rice cake Jordan? It's not like I haven't seen it before, and it's not like I haven't beaten it..."

bang, bang...

With two beeps, the solid ball that Fei Chong was holding in his hand became unstable and fell.

Lin Xing rolled his eyes: "You still talk about me, don't you do the same?"

To put it bluntly, both of them have met Danzi and fought...

emmm, don't get me wrong, it's for playing basketball.

They also beat Danzi, but in private, they didn't have much friendship with Danzi.

After all, Danzi is also a recognized GOAT these days, not by himself.

Perhaps in private, everyone will clamor: "What about Jordan, Danzi is Danzi, everyone says he is GOAT, that is just my chance, my future has not yet begun, wait, I will overtake him!"

But we really met, who can't call "God Qiao"?

This is the same reason as online Sun Dog and offline Sun Ge...

When GOAT visited, Lin Xing and Fei Chong couldn't help being a little excited.

Lin Xing is even thinking about it, if Danzi asks for a one-on-one later, will he accept it or accept it?

Soon, there was a burst of intensive footsteps at the door of the training hall.

Tim Glover leads the way, followed by a man wearing sunglasses, not Danzi, who else could it be?

"Long time no see, Sta, hey, Tim Hardaway, you're here too..."

As soon as he entered the door, Danzi originally wanted to say: I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty to visit.

But the unexpected presence of Fei Chong disrupted his plan.

He was a little surprised, but Fei Chong smiled: "Yes, yes, Mike, didn't Tim tell you, I'm training here too?"

"Aren't you injured, why are you training?"

"You have to train even if you're injured, Mike, after all, you can succeed only by working hard!"

Seeing Fat Chong's very inspirational, hard-working, and motivated appearance, Lin Xing looked contemptuous.

I don't know who, some time ago I was too fat to look like a human being.

If it wasn't for Lin Xing's urging, would Fei Chong lose weight?
Danzi didn't know all this, he patted Fei Chong on the shoulder: "Now, I understand why the Warriors' record is so good this season."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xing had question marks on his face again.

What the hell, the Warriors have an excellent record, what does it have to do with Fat Worm who only played three and a half games?
What Lin Xing didn't know was that Danzi only wanted to get Fei Chong to go as soon as possible, and he didn't know what he said.

Passing Feichong, Danzi stood in front of Lin Xing, he stretched out his right hand, solemnly: "Si Da, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

Lin Xing smiled, stretched out his right hand, and shook hands with Danzi: "It's all right, Maikou, actually I welcome you very much."

Although there is a smile on his face, it would be strange if he really wanted to say welcome.

Lin Xing really does not rule out that the purpose of Danzi's trip is to spy on the enemy.

Or even if it's not spying on the enemy, there is a high probability that they are here to poach corners.

Who doesn't know Tim Glover is good, after all, Danzi has owned it.

Just like some people know the benefits of big breasts, those who haven't had them can't tell why.

Only those who have owned it can understand the advantages of big breasts.

Danzi nodded with a smile, and then had nothing to say.

He asked Lin Xing to continue practicing, but he looked around, not intending to get down to business at all.

Lin Xing was surprised, did you come here just to see it?

A few minutes later, Lin Xing, who shot a few three-pointers, couldn't help it——

"Mike, should we take advantage of the present and let's play a game first?"

What he didn't expect was that Danzi actually waved his hand: "No, tomorrow, there are plenty of opportunities..."

Lin Xing was stunned, and co-authored, this guy really just came here to spy on the enemy?
