NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 339 Fight against Michael Jordan again, the fierce collision of the strongest scorer on the surface! !

"Kevin, it's just the regular season. We still have a chance to improve. We'll have a good fight with him in the playoffs." Gugliotta comforted.

Garnett gasped and nodded, sweat dripping down his chin.

"Also, you have your strengths, so there's no need to confront Lin Hong head-on in the paint," Gugliotta said.

"Tom, you talk a lot." Lin Hong next to him said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you afraid?" Gugliota said.

"Ha ha!"

Lin Hong sneered and walked towards the free throw line.

"boom!"

Lin Hong missed the free throw, Gugliota got the rebound, and the Timberwolves attacked.

At the left wing corner, Garnett withdrew a step to ask for the ball.

Normally in this position, Lin Hong would not hit him again, he got the ball smoothly, but at this time Lin Hong forced him up.

With his left elbow against Lin Hong, Garnett suddenly used his strength to turn back and shoot a jumper.

Lin Hong was taken aback, finally enlightened?

He took off and blocked it, it was useless, it was a lot worse, the fadeaway jump shot of a 211 cm power forward couldn't be blocked at all.

"boom!"

But he missed. Garnett's turnaround jumper has not yet been practiced, and the range is too far, two steps away from the paint area, and there is a fallback, coupled with the interference of Lin Hong's long arm.

Garnett was very disappointed. With this kind of technical action at this distance, the hit rate is not high. If he has to avoid Lin Hong's defense, the hit rate will be even lower.

But if he forcibly takes a position on the edge of the paint area, he won't be able to stand at all, and if he forcibly turns over and makes a jump shot there, his shooting percentage will not be high.

As for entering the paint area, it is too difficult to pass Lin Hong's test.

At this time, Big Ben grabbed the rebound, the Lakers attacked, and Lin Hong entered the basket again.

Seeing him get into the basket again, Gugliota and Garnett frowned.

Garnett didn't try to defend this time, but went straight forward, but Lin Hong forcibly blocked him immediately.

"I want to gain muscle."

The moment he was pushed away, Garnett made up his mind that he must strengthen his ability to fight.

"Whoosh!"

When the ball arrived, Lin Hong jumped up to receive Kobe's pass, and was immediately double-teamed by Garnett and Gugliotta.

As soon as he landed, four thick arms were lifted above his head, like a big impenetrable net, binding him in a cage.

Lin Hong squatted down and used his strength, shouted angrily, and jumped up like a monster. The huge impact made him break the blockade in an instant.

"Dudududu!"

"Bang!"

The referee's whistle and the violent basket explosion sounded at the same time.

"Hohohoho..."

In the dead silence of the Target Center arena, the heavy breathing of Gugliota and Garnett could be clearly heard.

"Wow even!!"

The Lakers bench suddenly boiled.

"Today, you are doomed!"

Lin Hong yelled at Gugliota and Garnett, and also at the teammates who rushed forward.

The Celestial Giant, who had just returned from a suspension, was like a frantically hungry beast, trying to devour his opponent alive.

In the next round, the Lakers' offense.

The Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders directly put Lin Hong in the iron bucket formation.

Stanley Roberts, a center with a thick body, followed Lin's defense like a shadow.

And Garnett, who is equally talented, while defending Big Ben, moves laterally from time to time to interfere and help defend Lin Hong.

Don't let him get uncomfortable in the box and catch the ball.

Ray Allen, who was defending Snow on the weak side next to him, also quickly moved laterally from time to time, wandering in front of Snow and Lin Hong, interfering with Lin Hong receiving the ball.

Snow currently has basically no ability to host the ball and attack on his own. Ray Allen can boldly assist in double-teaming.

And Daben's offense can only eat cakes, and has no offensive ability with the ball.

Lin Hong raised the high post to cover Kobe's pick-and-roll.

"boom!"

The extremely impactful Chris Kyle chased and defended fiercely in this field, and directly ran into Lin Hong who was covering.

However, Lin Hong didn't move at all. As soon as he withdrew the pick-and-roll, he immediately went down. Timberwolves centers Stanley Roberts and Garnett immediately blocked it, and even Chris Kyle, who was staggered by the bump, immediately chased him to double-team.

He just let Kobe go!
Because everyone knows about Xiaoke's outside shooting, it's really unreliable! !

The Timberwolves adopted the tactic of packs of wolves devouring tigers, trying to drag Lin Hong down through fighting.

Silver Fox, who was standing on the sidelines, still had the demeanor of a calm and breezy master.

Just when the on-site commentator Albert praised Sanders' strategy again and again, and thought that Lin Hong would fall into a battle of trapped beasts.

"Wow!!"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation at the target center.

Lin Hong did not choose to pass the ball hastily, but played with the ball!

He has an absolute strength advantage!
And also has the most abundant physical strength!
With so many long-handed monsters in the Timberwolves, choosing to pass blindly at this moment will most likely be intercepted or made a mistake.

That being the case, why not hit a hundred punches with one punch.

"boom!"

Lin Hong took advantage of the Bucks center's defense and was not stable. While dribbling the ball with his right hand, his body slammed into the opponent's chest to the left.

"Walter, Falk!"

Stanley Roberts couldn't help but gasped, feeling a pain in his chest after being hit by a heavy truck at high speed.

Vicious physical confrontation.

Raw power contest!
Standing on guard, the tank-type center Stanley Roberts was directly pushed back several meters by Lin Hong's continuous strides.

Followed by.

Facing Garnett, who came to make up the defense, Lin Hong turned right flexibly.

"boom!"

There was also a fierce confrontation between his back and Garnett.

The nearly 30-jin weight and strength gap between the two is vividly displayed at this moment.

Garnett has a long wingspan, jumps high, and is fast, but he still retreats after being hit by Lin Hong.

He used all the strength of his feet, but he just couldn't stop the car.

no way.

It's that powerful! !
Who made Lin Hong a taller, longer wingspan, and heavier, flexible and powerful center forward! !

next second.

Taking advantage of Garnett's retreat, Lin Hong kicked his feet off the ground.

"Snapped!"

The second-generation wolf king Tom Gugliota, who was double-teaming from behind and tried to block the cover, slapped Lin Hong's Tianling cover with a slap.

Ran and egg.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Lin Hong grabbed the ball with both hands and forcibly staged a violent dunk!
"Bang!"

The tiger roars!

The wolves tremble!

Pulling the deformed basket, it bounced back violently.

The basketball hoop is shaking up and down!
The giants of the Celestial Dynasty broke through the double-teaming of three people and staged a domineering dunk!
"Dududu!!"

The referee's whistle blew.

Blow Gugliotta's defensive foul! !
The three players including Garnett, who participated in the double-team, walked over slowly in great frustration.

Unexpectedly, in the fourth quarter, their tight and suffocated iron barrel formation was actually broken by Lin Hong.

Moreover, he directly crushed them with an extremely physical-intensive tyrannical style of play.

"See how long you can fight hard, and use up your physical strength in wheel battles!"

Garnett stared at Lin Hong who walked to the free throw line, and said secretly angrily.

Platypus Garnett is so stubborn! !

Next, under Lin Hong's frantic attack, Garnett and Gugliota, who were too physically exhausted, failed to hold on, and the Lakers directly opened the point difference to double digits.

In the last 5 minutes, he couldn't hold on anymore, and Gugliota was replaced.

Garnett was even more unable to support himself. He fouled Lin Hong consecutively and ended up with six fouls.

Lin Hong watched Garnett want to end the game, how could he let him go so easily.

"Hey, Kevin, you're so smart, you know how to blew up to save the last decency!"

Garnett, who was about to end, stopped instantly after hearing Lin Hong's words.

The meaning in Lin Hong's words is very simple.

Garnett understood in an instant.

Lin Hong is mocking him as a deserter!

Garnett felt his cheeks burn instantly.

If there is a gap in the ground now, Garnett will never hesitate to get into it.

damn it!Garnett has never loathed a person so much.

Lin Hong was the first!
This beam is knotted!
There will be a long future in Japan!

You are the enemy of my life Kevin Garnett! !
Back on the bench, Garnett looked at Lin Hong, who was tirelessly chopping melons and vegetables, with a puzzled expression on his face.

What kind of monster is this!
Timberwolves lost, but he Kevin Garnett did not lose! !
Since Gugliota and Garnett both went off the court, Ray Allen was unable to support himself, and the Lakers directly dragged the game into garbage time.

Lin Hong also left early.

全场打了40分钟，投篮30投19中，命中率63.3%，罚球13罚8中，命中率61.5%，拿到了46分14篮板5助攻1抢断7盖帽3失误3犯规。

Directly beat the ferocious Timberwolves into cute huskies.

When he was off the court, Lin Hong also gasped a little. Today, he broke out with all his strength, attacking, defending, rebounding, and some organization, all with one hand.

Especially on the defensive end, not only have to keep an eye on Garnett, but also keep returning to the basket, which consumes a lot of energy.

Fortunately, with Chamberlain's physical fitness, he recovered blood quickly, and he was basically fine after a few hours of rest.

"Any ideas?"

After the game, Gugliota looked at Garnett in a daze.

"Playing against Shaq is much easier than playing against Lin Hong.

Fighting Lin Hong, the confrontation was too fierce and the physical energy wasted too much. "

Garnett was still a little out of breath when speaking, looking sluggish.

Gugliotta nodded: "Shaq's confrontation ability is not as good as Lin's.

In his rookie season, Lin played so hard that Shaq didn't dare to fight against him. At that time, his tonnage was not so big.

You can't hold him, no shame.

In addition, I think Lin's confrontation this season is a bit weird. "

Garnett also nodded: "I have never encountered such a strange way of confrontation.

His top defense is like waves, wave after wave, sometimes hard top, sometimes suddenly withdrawn, false and solid, I can't adapt to it at all.

In short, his command of power is terrifying. "

Gugliotta looked up and sighed: "Last season, everyone thought that Lin Hong was already at his peak, but now it seems that he has only entered his peak this season, what a misjudgment!
The most frightening thing is that this kid has no injuries yet. "

"Tom, I'm going to gain weight." Garnett said after thinking about it.

"With the existence of Lin, you really should gain weight, the confrontation ability is too poor, you can't cross his Mount Everest.

When playing against him, your shot consistency is seriously affected.But how much are you going to increase? ’ Gugliota asked.

"Let's gain weight to 120 kg first!"

Garnett thought for a while and sighed heavily.

at the same time.

Lin Hong was interviewed by the media after the game on the sidelines.

"Lin, defeating the Timberwolves, what do you think is the greatest significance for the Lakers?"

Minnesota "Star Tribune" reporter asked.

"It proves that as long as our team has a neat lineup, it is absolutely strong enough to defeat any opponent." Lin Hong said with a smile.

"Lin Hong, what's your opinion on Kevin Garnett?" The reporter continued to ask.

"I was amazed that he was able to play [-] percent offensively against my full defense, which is really good.

Come on Kevin, look after you. Lin Hong shrugged.

"Do you think it is possible for the Timberwolves to beat the Lakers in the playoffs this season?" the reporter asked again.

"Are you sure you're not kidding? It's impossible."

The smile on Lin Hong's face gradually disappeared, and he felt that the reporter's question was a bit stupid.

"Why are you so sure? Do you think Kevin's performance won't improve even more when facing you in the playoffs after being tempered in the regular season?"

"He should improve, but do you think my teammates won't improve after the regular season?
Also, do you think I am at my strongest state tonight? ?

Don't forget, I just came back and only scored 46 points. I only shot in the early [-]s. These statistics are not ideal. "

Lin Hong said with a smile.

The corner of the reporter's mouth twitched. Under the double-teaming of Garnett and Gugliota, he shot 46% of the shots and scored [-] points. Do you still think it is not ideal? !

After finishing the on-site interview, Lin Hong greeted Da Ben and others, and walked into the player tunnel together.

After beating the Timberwolves into Huskies,

The Lakers continued to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, making great strides, catching up, and achieved a wave of four consecutive victories.

In the four games Lin Hong returned to, he averaged 20 points better than his opponents per game. The Lin Ke combination clocked in three quarters per game, and the Los Angeles Lakers returned to the winning streak.

US time, June 1.

The NBA officially announced the league player of the week for the first full week after 1998.

Don't ask, it's Lin Hong.

After Lin Hong won the Best of the Week again, the media in Los Angeles said:

"The only thing that can stop Lin Hong from winning the award is the suspension!"

"As long as Lin Hong stands on the court, he is the best player in the league!"

"Lin Hong is back, the Los Angeles Lakers will regain the top spot in the league!!"

no doubt.

After Lin Hong showed his dominance in all aspects.

He has gradually replaced Michael Jordan and has become the new No.1 in the minds of fans.

The change of times is so unexpected.

Before Michael Jordan abdicated and retired from the peak, Lin Hong had already snatched his throne.

US time, June 1.

chicago.

United Center Arena.

The Chicago Bulls, since the disintegration of the Big Three, ushered in the old opponent of the finals-the Los Angeles Lakers!
As the previous No.1 in the league, Michael Jordan, the eternal king of Chicago, finally ushered in his first duel with the current No.1 in the league.

"This is the first confrontation between Lin Hong and Michael Jordan since last season's Finals!"

"Both teams have had a lot to tell this season!"

As TNT commentator Albert said.

The Los Angeles Lakers have sparked so many stories this season that they could be made into a TV series.

If I really want to list them one by one, I am afraid that I will be in a daze.

Albert and Kenny Smith can chat for hours.

But they are worried that the content will be too much and will be sprayed by the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

Therefore, after briefly chatting about the famous scenes of the Lakers this season, Albert focused more on the Chicago Bulls.

"What would it be like to play next to Michael Jordan?"

While Albert was explaining.

Rookie Tracy McGrady is doing pregame interviews with courtside reporters.

"I love playing next to Michael because he's the best scorer on the planet."

"Wait, Tracy, are you sure Michael is the best scorer on the planet?"

The reporters at the scene keenly caught the loophole in McGrady's words: "What about Lin Hong?"

"By comparison, Lin Hong, who scores more and is more efficient, shouldn't he be the strongest scorer on the planet?"

"Tracey, in your opinion, Lin or Michael, who is the strongest scorer?"

The reporter who asked the question showed an intriguing smile, obviously thinking that McGrady is still too tender!
His seemingly perfect answer was still found by the reporter, circled out, and thrown in front of McGrady again.

Now this question is hard to answer.

On the one hand, the fans only look at the eyes.

The most popular scorer at the moment is the only one Lin Hong.

Under him, it was the other players' turn.

on the other hand.

Jordan is McGrady's big brother now, and with one order, McGrady may be put on the shelves.

The most terrifying scorer in the league at the moment VS the team's big brother + basketball god Jordan.

Who is the strongest scorer on the surface?

The reporter's questioning directly forced McGrady into a dilemma.

"Who is the strongest scorer on the surface? You can find the answer from today's game!!"

McGrady shrugged and avoided a positive answer: "Perhaps today's game will give us an answer to this question."

Realizing that the reporter was digging a hole for himself, McGrady jumped over the big hole in the most direct way.

Want to dig a hole for me?
There are no doors!

Even the windows are sealed for you! !

McGrady gets away with this question though.

But regarding Lin Hong and Jordan, who is the strongest scorer in the league today has become the focus of commentators.

"To be honest, I like Tracy's answer very much. Although he didn't give the answer directly, he gave a solution to the problem: find the answer from this game!!"

The commentator Albert talked eloquently: "We can start to look forward to what kind of scoring feast Michael and Lin will present today!!"

after all.

No one on the Bulls side can match Lin Hong, who is the killer in the penalty area.

same.

Lakers here.

Bruce Bowen, who is the most defensive outsider, is still in the suspension stage.

Is it okay for Eric Snow to limit the point guard and let him deal with Jordan?
That is purely dreaming! !

As for Kobe? ?
The defense is characterized by his explosive power and speed, which can move almost any distance in a short period of time, which allows him to control the opponent's actions very well.

But facing the old hooligan Michael Jordan, it's still not enough to watch! !
So, in the eyes of the two narrators.

This game must be a battle between the core players of both sides!

"Michael, long time no see."

what is interesting.

Before the game, live footage captured Dennis Rodman offering to greet Michael Jordan.

"Long time no see, Dennis."

Seeing his teammates who fought side by side in the previous two seasons, Jordan also smiled, and stayed directly with his compatriots: "How is life in Los Angeles?"

"It's more comfortable than you can imagine. Los Angeles is a good place."

Rodman smiled and patted Jordan on the back: "You may not believe it, but I haven't played much this season. I have paid vacation every day, and no one cares about it. Life is so cool."

"This is Chicago, but it's the life I've always dreamed of living."

Having said that, the smile on Rodman's face became even brighter.

He's not kidding.

During this period of time with the Lakers, apart from fighting, they are resting in rotation, and they don't even need to go out with the team.

Paid vacation, pick up all kinds of girls in Los Angeles bars and casinos.

Such a life is simply not too comfortable.

During the few months in Los Angeles, Rodman deeply realized that the 2 beheading that Chamberlain once boasted is entirely possible.

In the colorful world of Los Angeles, Rodman felt that he was late.

Otherwise, day and night, managing tens of thousands of chickens every day, it is entirely possible to break Dashuai Zhang's record of 2 beheads!
However, Rodman felt that it was not too late.

If you come a few more at a time, you still have a chance to catch up with the record of the Marshal!

Cough!

In short, life in Los Angeles is like his hair, colorful and colorful! !

Finally, Rodman patted Jordan's shoulder earnestly and gave him an intriguing look:
"Michael, if you have a chance, come to Los Angeles too."

As for whether to come to Los Angeles for vacation or to come to Los Angeles to gamble.

Or come to Los Angeles to play?
Rodman didn't say it explicitly, so let's stop.

But did he mean it?

I think there must be some.

"If given the chance, I
Will seriously consider. "

Jordan responded with a smile.

As for whether he was talking about going to Los Angeles for vacation, or going to Los Angeles for free prostitution, or going to Los Angeles to play basketball?
That may only be clear to Jordan himself.
