Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 679 The craziest month is finally over! The entire alliance

"3+1! With one second left, Lin actually made a 3+1!" Barkley shouted excitedly, "That's why I like Lin! He's so tough! That's what a real man does! I don't care about stats, but you can't bully my brother!"

"We all know Lin has never cared about 80 points or breaking records! He chose to prove he really doesn't care by committing a 24-second violation and leaving the game early!"

"But after James knocked Muhammad down, Lin went back onto the court without hesitation! And then, in the most direct and humiliating way, he scored a three-pointer! And it was a 3+1!"

"Honestly, from a pragmatic point of view, it would have been better for Lin not to shoot! If he had shot and missed, his perfect night would have become somewhat awful, and someone would definitely have mocked his choice."

"But if he gets in, it will only improve his popularity; it won't do him any other good."

"But Lin obviously doesn't need better interpersonal relationships, because with his disgusting mouth, his soul full of wicked humor and his detestable personality, he hasn't become a public enemy yet. On the contrary, many players are good friends with him."

"This alone shows that Lin is very popular!"

"It's hard for me to say whether you're praising Lin or criticizing him," Kenny said with a smile. "But if he hadn't made that shot or if LeBron had defended it, his perfect night would have been terrible, and a lot of people would have used that to make fun of Lin."

"But Lin still did it, didn't he? And he did it in a way that was quite difficult."

"So that's it! This is Lin!"

Barkley laughed and said, "He has a unique, one-of-a-kind, and irreplaceable charm! He's just that likable."

"Alright, now it's Lin's time for extra punishment."

"That's it! Great shot!" Kenny laughed. "Let's congratulate Lin on another 80+ point game in his career!"

"81 points! Lin sealed the game with a 3+1 play that was completely meaningless from a game perspective, but incredibly significant for him personally and for his reputation!"

「这个晚上的林，24投19中，其中3分球11投7中，罚球40罚36中！轰下81分！1个多月以来，林的第二个80+！」

"In addition, after that 81-point performance, Lin's average points per game in January reached 53.25! A record in NBA history!"

"He became the NBA's all-time leader in monthly scoring averages! He surpassed Wilt Chamberlain's 52.44 points by almost a full point!"

"A monstrous performance, a monstrous single-month performance! Furthermore, with two key players suspended for fighting and unable to play, Lin, through his phenomenal play, led the team to a perfect record of 12 wins and 4 losses in 16 games this month!"

"Their current record is 37 wins and 11 losses!"

"Lin delivered on his promise! He didn't let his team fall behind while his teammates were absent; he didn't let them be overtaken by the teams behind them!"

"They are still second in the East and third in the league! If there is anything lacking this month, it is that they lost twice to the Celtics, who widened the gap between the two teams in wins."

"This season, the Knicks may miss out on the top seed in the East, but the good news is that their second place is quite secure! After all, the third-place Cavaliers are already seven games behind them! That's an even more impossible number to catch up with."

"Now, I think Lin can take a short rest! Stoudemire and Anthony have completed 19 games of suspension! After the first game in February, they will be able to return! This is definitely good news that the Knicks have been waiting for all month!"

"Let's see just how strong the Knicks will be when they're fully assembled!"

巴克利道：「林这个月值得一提的可不仅仅是他的得分！他的效率同样惊人，他这个月的三项命中率达到了49.5%，44.1%和89.6%！同时除了53.2分的得分之外，林场均还有11.8个篮板和7.6次助攻入帐！」

"A performance so comprehensive it's astonishing and unbelievable!"

"Of course, as Kenny said, Lin definitely needs some rest and help. He averaged over 45 minutes per game throughout January, and he hardly rested at all. He gave his all in almost every game, carrying the team on his shoulders as they struggled forward!"

"Now, Lin can take a good rest before the All-Star Game!"

Kenny continued, "By the way, let's also look at the stats of the other players in this game. The Spurs also had some outstanding players! JR hit five three-pointers and scored 20 points, while James had a phenomenal triple-double with 41 points, 15 rebounds, and 14 assists!"

「另外波什也有19分11篮板入帐！奥尼尔虽然只拿到14分7篮板，但他8投6中，效率奇高！」

"The Spurs really gave it their all tonight! They gave it their all, but unfortunately, they still lost! Now I'm really interested in both teams' upcoming season! I'm even looking forward to them meeting again in the Finals!"

"I believe they'll definitely create something truly unique!"

"Alright, that concludes our live broadcast for tonight! Now, please watch the post-match press conferences for both teams!"

With Kenny's closing remarks, tonight's fierce and intense battle, which, although it didn't have overtime, still kept the referees working overtime like crazy, has finally come to an end!

The match, which lasted over three hours and left the referees with sore cheeks from blowing the whistles, has finally come to an end.

At the post-game press conference, Lin Tian spent too much time changing clothes and interacting with fans on the court, so by the time he entered the locker room, the Spurs' post-game press conference had already ended.

He only needed to glance at the group of reporters who were staring at him like idiots to know what had just happened.

"What's wrong? Did someone from the Spurs just say something?" Lin Tian was quite relaxed at this moment, and seeing that the reporters were about to spill the beans, he immediately showed his cooperation.

"LeBron! It's LeBron!" a reporter exclaimed impatiently. "He said you were a fraudster tonight! You kept using dirty tricks to draw fouls, you kept going to the free-throw line and ruined the game, the referees' calls ruined the game."

"You don't deserve this victory."

"I thought he said something." Lin Tian curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "He's right, I did play very dirty, and I kept trying to draw fouls."

Just as the reporters gasped in surprise, thinking Lin Tian had actually admitted it, Lin Tian continued, "So I decided to send him a complete NBA rulebook and a highlight reel of all the fouls I drew tonight, so he can go through them frame by frame, one by one!"

"Then he'll realize that all my actions and all the referee's calls were in accordance with the rules! They were all correct!"

"By the way, that rulebook contains a lot of advanced technical terms and words, which he might not be able to understand with his level of education. So I can also give him an Oxford English dictionary so that he can learn the rules while looking up words in the dictionary."

vicious!

The reporters were all thinking to themselves, "This is the crushing power of a high school diploma over a top student from Changchun University!"

"So Lin, will you continue playing like this in the future? Will you continue with this offensive style?"

"No! Hmm, I won't use it first!" Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Unless someone uses this move against me, I will absolutely not be the first to use it!"

"Why? This move is clearly very efficient and allows you to score points easily. For example, tonight you only took 24 shots and scored 81 points, with a true shooting percentage of over 95%! This efficiency is unbelievable!"

"You're actually willing to give up this method of attack?"

"Because it's so ugly! This style of play is too ugly and contemptible! My grandma could average 15 points a game playing like that! Isn't it just dribbling, physical contact, then screaming and falling to the ground to shoot free throws?"

"Moreover, I used a similar style of play many years ago, and I've always played like this. I've always known that playing like this makes my stats look really good! But I don't want to, and I'm unwilling to, do this kind of thing."

"To reiterate, this style of play can indeed lead to an explosive surge in player statistics, but it can also destroy the game, making it quite boring and unwatchable, and causing fans to only look at the post-game statistics instead of watching the game."

"If I wanted to, I could get 20 free throws every night, but I don't want that. I don't want the next time I'm on offense, the player guarding me to have their hands behind their back or simply stand behind me. I think that's an insult to basketball!"

"Or to give another example, LeBron scored 41 points tonight, including 6 points in the last minute. If you only look at the statistics, this is definitely a heroic act of turning the tide, never giving up, and hoping to give the team a chance to survive."

"But we watched the game, and we all know what he did in the final moments." Lin Tian shrugged. "Now tell me, do impressive stats really have that much of an impact?"

Lin Tian's renewed attack on James not only excited the reporters but also prompted many to reflect.

Is it really correct to judge who is stronger or weaker based solely on post-match statistics without watching the game?

Of course, these are all things to consider later. Right now, the reporters have one last question for Lin Tian.

"LeBron said, 'See you in the Finals,' and he's waiting for you there! What do you think, Lin? Are you confident you can lead your team back to the Finals?"

"What did he say?" Lin Tian grinned and said, "Since I entered the league, I've only missed the Finals twice, but why haven't I seen LeBron even once? Am I lost, or am I in the wrong place? Maybe the Finals LeBron is talking about isn't the same as the Finals I'm talking about?"

"So what I'm saying is, I'm there every year, and every year I'm waiting for someone to challenge me. So if he really has the determination and ability, I'll be waiting for him in the finals. I'll be waiting for him to challenge me!"

"I am the king of this alliance! I am the highest mountain in this alliance. No one can say those things to me, no one can tell me to wait for me there, or to defeat me there."

"Only I have the right to say such things to others!"

Arrogant! Overbearing! Disdainful of everyone!

As soon as Lin Tian said those words, all the reporters had the same thought.

But then, the group of reporters had another idea.

In this alliance, only Lin Tian is truly qualified to say this!

This guy is now the true king of the league!

And it's the only one!

But regardless of whether Lin Tian is a king or not, James has no right to make Lin Tian wait for him. After these two games this season, the feud between the two has been completely formed!

These two may not say they're going to fight to the death, but the atmosphere of "you're my mentor and I'll help you improve" that they had before is absolutely gone. These two have completely fallen out!

Now, we'll see who comes out on top between Lin Tian and James!

Then, this crazy January finally came to an end.

Of course, it only ended in a temporal sense.

The shock that Lin Tian brought to the league and the basketball world this January is far from over!

This shock may even last for decades.

The most direct impact was that Lin Tian single-handedly devalued the entire league's data!

Previously, a star player scoring 40 points could be described as a scoring spree or a scoring frenzy, scoring 50 points was considered an amazing explosion, and scoring 60 points was a rare occurrence that was only seen once every few years.

Now?

These days, scores of 40 or 50 aren't even worth a page, let alone the front page.

It's absolutely not worth mentioning!

Who can blame Lin Tian, ​​this monster, for scoring dozens of 50-point games, 7 or 8 60-point games, and even 80-point games twice in just two months?

A true scoring monster!

Moreover, after this incident, whether it was Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Allen, Arenas, or Wade, they all admired Lin Tian wholeheartedly.

No matter how arrogant and domineering these people are, when asked by reporters about Lin Tian this time, they were all incredibly honest, each one saying that Lin Tian was too powerful for them to handle or beat!

"Stay away" is everyone's true feeling right now.

Besides the players being thoroughly defeated, the media outlets also really didn't dare to cause any more trouble this time, and they were all behaving themselves.

Even the Los Angeles media, who hate Lin Tian the most, and the people of San Antonio, the victims of this incident, were all obedient and didn't dare to say a bad word about Lin Tian!

They're really terrified of being beaten!

To put it another way, if any media outlet dared to speak out now and say that Lin Tian is no good, that he's just a slacker, the football team in the city where that media outlet is located would have to quickly shut its mouth and then laugh and say it was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding!

The brothers' admiration for Master Lin was like a surging river, never-ending!

Don't take it to heart!

As for those fans who were originally eager to stir up trouble and loved to create chaos, this time they were almost all wiped out by Lin Tian.

Honest, obedient, and well-behaved, he is very careful about his tone and manner of speaking.

They were afraid of incurring the jealousy of Lin Tian or his fans, who would then direct that hatred towards their own favorite player.

After all, even if everyone now admits that their favorite team and their favorite star player are no match for Lin Tian, ​​no one wants to see their star player become a victim, and no one wants to see their favorite team being bullied by someone urinating on their head.

Everyone enjoys watching the excitement, but nobody wants to get caught up in the drama themselves!

In other words, the fans of this era are still relatively innocent and haven't evolved yet.

What about the fans 20 years from now?

They'll throw a bunch of random aliases at you in no time, impersonating each other and splashing dirty water on you like crazy!

Allen Iverson fan: I'm a Kobe fan. To be honest, if it weren't for Shaquille O'Neal holding us back, Kobe would have won five consecutive championships by now.

Kobe fans: You're talking nonsense! It was McGrady who held Duncan back, otherwise the Magic would have already established a dynasty!

McGrady fans: Duncan is the best! This year's championship belongs to the Celtics!

Kidd fans: Nash is the best point guard, and the Suns are the most offensively capable run-and-gun team in the league!

Duncan fan: Oh.

pity.

Since Lin Tian had nothing to do, he browsed various forums in the United States and felt it was a pity.

There was no fight!

What he wanted to see was a scene of chaos and utter pandemonium throughout northwestern Shanxi.

The fact that this scene didn't happen can only be blamed on the lack of imagination and creativity among American fans.

Hopefully, they can improve quickly and complete their evolution soon! (End of Chapter)
