Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 730 He inherited a glorious tradition! He was not alone.

"You're here to kill me again, Lin?" Ever since Pierce hit that game-winning shot, his confidence has skyrocketed! When facing Lin Tian, ​​his eyes are filled with nothing but fighting spirit.

No fear! Ever since that game-winning shot, Pierce has stopped dreaming about Lin Tian and no longer imagines being crushed by him during training. In short: I'm no longer a coward!

"If you utter another word of nonsense, I guarantee I'll beat the shit out of you!" Lin Tian lowered his center of gravity and stared intently at Pierce, like a beast waiting to pounce. The pressure of his defense was unmatched by many on the perimeter of the entire league.

To Lin Tian's surprise, Pierce didn't refute the trash talk; instead, he frowned slightly, looking rather serious.

Something's not right!

Something's really wrong!

Provoking someone and then not retaliating—that's not Pierce's style at all.

There's definitely something fishy about this guy!

As for what it is...

Lin Tiande studied it slowly.

But regardless of whether he was injured or not, Pierce's ferocity on offense was no less!

This guy was also in a bloodthirsty frenzy at this moment, and he mustered all his strength to charge at Lin Tian!

"Bang! Bang!!"

He usually enjoys bullying his opponents by taking advantage of his height and weight, but this time, although he attacked Lin Tian quite hard, Lin Tian noticed that he didn't stick his butt out to attack people like he usually does. Instead, he learned from Lin Tian, ​​Kobe, Jordan and others and attacked from the side.

It's getting more and more obvious!

Lin Tian looked through the pants at Pierce's glutes, which were noticeably tighter than usual, and some thoughts began to occupy Lin Tian's mind.

In another parallel universe, during Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston, the Lakers completely dominated the game, overwhelming the Celtics.

Then, at that moment, Pierce twisted his knee while making a breakthrough, his face contorted in pain. He clutched his knee and screamed in agony, unable to stand up despite several attempts, and was eventually carried off the court.

Everyone could see that Pierce was seriously injured at that moment; his knee was unable to move, bend, or straighten, and he could only remain in that one position.

Everyone thought the Celtics were finished! Without Pierce as their core player, they were destined to be unable to compete with the mighty Lakers!

Then, just when the entire TD Garden began to despair, thinking that the Lakers would easily defeat them and that their arch-rivals were about to triumph over them and win the championship, the savior returned!

Pierce returned to the court, riding a bicycle, waving his arms, and cheering. His return brought the entire North Shore Garden to a roar of applause.

Our souls have returned!

Then, Pierce, who returned to the court in the third quarter, transformed.

What did Pierce say in that section?

A great small forward from Boston! He carries on the glorious tradition of Boston. The spirits of Larry Bird, Reggie Lewis, and John Havlicek are with him at this moment!

Pierce represents the long history and tradition of Boston basketball. At this moment, he is not fighting alone; he is not alone!

然后，这一节的皮尔斯，5投5中，3分球3投3中，罚球3罚2中爆砍15分！

His outburst turned the tide for the Celtics, giving them a winning start in the Finals and ultimately securing the championship that year.

Finally, many years later, after Pierce and others had retired, this guy said on a TV show: Back then, I wasn't injured, I just had diarrhea that I couldn't hold in, but I was too embarrassed to go to the toilet.

That's why my buddy had no choice but to fake an injury, and in the end, he successfully proved a truth: no poop, no worries, no poop, no peace!

That was an absolute massacre!

As for the so-called high-definition photos of Pierce leaking poop that those nosy fans dug up later, Lin Tian said he hadn't seen a single one!

Not interested at all.

At the same time, Lin Tian also understood why Pierce was a Lakers fan.

It's not just because he's from Los Angeles, born and raised there, or anything like that.

That was preordained!

Imagine if Pierce had joined the Lakers, he would have worn the Lakers' traditional gold jersey on that day.

Can anyone tell he has diarrhea? Anyone?

Nobody's here!

But wearing the Celtics' white uniform would expose them quite thoroughly.

All I can say is, it's all fate!

As for this time, although the teams, locations, opposing sides, and even the year are completely different, Lin Tian looked at Pierce's expression and felt that this guy had reached this hurdle! The biggest hurdle in his life.

As for what kind of butterfly effect could cause someone to develop diarrhea a whole year earlier, Lin Tian didn't know and couldn't care less. Anyway, now that Lord Lin was convinced: Pierce, you're about to develop diarrhea! So I'll have to target you!

"Did you get sodomized last night, Paul? I couldn't feel any of your strength at all!" Lin Tian probed, trying to steer the conversation in that direction again. Sure enough, Pierce didn't respond this time!

confirmed!

This guy is definitely going to have diarrhea! He's probably just waiting for an opportunity! Waiting for a chance to take a dump.

Then you can go!

Well, Mr. Lin is quite kind. If you want to go, then I'll let you go.

To not even let someone take a dump, how shameless is that! But Master Lin's bottom line isn't that low.

Of course, the main reason is that Lin Tian is currently facing off against Pierce, and if they really don't let him go, what if this guy actually shows up on the court...

hiss……

terrible!

Shaking!

"Whoosh!"

Then, Pierce suddenly felt that the defense he was facing had loosened up a lot. He easily turned and entered the paint, then raised his hand and put the ball into the basket.

It was so easy?

Pierce couldn't believe it!

Could Lin Tian be injured? Otherwise, how could his defense be so bad?

Take advantage of his injury and kill him?

Pierce tightened his sphincter muscles; he decided to hold on a little longer…

But Lin Tian was quite afraid of Pierce at this moment.

A deep-seated fear, or rather, disgust?

He was genuinely afraid that his fantasy would become reality; he didn't want to earn a nickname like "the one who beat the shit out of people."

I can't afford to lose face like that.

Could you let your teammates defend Pierce?

That's unreliable too.

Tonight, these guys are all incredibly fierce and aggressive. They've been waiting for an opportunity to defend Pierce, and they can't wait to kill him.

They hope to gain a chance to stand out and get more playing time.

Let them defend Pierce; Pierce is more likely to explode...

What should I do?

What should we do?

For the first time in his life, Lin Tian found himself in a dilemma on the basketball court, completely at a disadvantage!

On the court, this meant that Pierce completely dominated Lin Tian!

This guy attacked Lin Tian four times in a row and scored three times! He scored eight points in just three minutes!

Pierce's touch is burning hot right now!

The hotter it is, the more excited he gets!

Lin Tian even felt that this guy was so excited that he forgot to tighten his sphincter muscles.

No!

This can't go on! Absolutely not!

Lin Tian muttered curses under his breath, then decided to take the initiative.

We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Pierce's celebration might end up with two roars instead of one.

"Lin got really badly beaten by Pierce! With Lin's defensive ability, how long has it been since he's been beaten like this? This kind of thing is rare in Lin's entire career!" Barkley said with some concern. "But I'm pretty sure Pierce doesn't have that kind of ability!"

"Lin, what's wrong?"

"Could he be feeling unwell or injured?" Kenny said with some concern. "His defensive effort and focus have clearly decreased! Lin is definitely not at his best right now!"

"Perhaps it would be a good idea to let him rest for a while?" Peyton chimed in.

"But regardless of whether Lin gets a rest or not, I think Don Nelson needs to call a timeout. The Knicks haven't played well in these last three minutes. Apart from that one amazing offensive play at the beginning, their success rate hasn't been high! Now the Suns have narrowed the gap to 2 points!"

"The Knicks need to come up with something!"

"Ouch! Something's wrong! Something's wrong! They've fallen! Lin and Pierce have both fallen! What's going on?" Barkley suddenly interrupted everyone and shouted loudly.

Because right now the field is in complete chaos!

Pierce just tried to force his way past Lin Tian again, driving all the way to the basket and then jumping to force a layup.

This time, Lin Tian didn't let him off the hook. Instead, he jumped high into the air and collided heavily with Pierce!

Then, he secretly exerted his strength, grabbed Pierce's arm, and threw him directly to the floor from mid-air!

At the same time, Lin Tian lost his balance after exerting force and fell to the floor with Pierce.

The difference between Lin Tian and Pierce is that Pierce was somewhat bewildered when he fell to the ground; he never expected Lin Tian to suddenly attack him.

But Lin Tian deliberately lay down next to Pierce and whispered in his ear, "Get the hell back to the locker room and relieve yourself, or if you do it on the court, I guarantee you'll never be able to come back to Phoenix!"

"And stop your fucking nonsense! I've already given you a way out. If you're even human, if you want to live, you'd better grab your knees and scream in pain right now! Then get off the field!"

"If you say another word, I guarantee you won't be leaving the stadium tonight. I guarantee you'll be exhausted on the field tonight!"

Lin Tian's threat was swift and decisive, and it hit Pierce right where it hurt!

And then?

Then Lin Tian started screaming in agony.

"My knees! FUXX! My knees! FUXX! I can't feel my knees! Someone! Someone help me!" Lin Tian screamed in agony, his eyes tightly shut.

This scene undoubtedly gripped the hearts of all the fans at Madison Square Garden, those watching on television, and everyone else who cared about Lin Tian.

What happened to Lin?

At the same time, the people of Phoenix were not happy at all; they also felt like their world had collapsed.

Because Pierce reacted just as quickly, after hearing Lin Tian's words and screams, he made a swift decision.

"Ah! My knee! My knee! FUXX! I can't feel my knee! Someone help me! My knee!"

The two people let out almost identical screams at the same time!

The players on both sides were extremely worried because they didn't know what was going on.

They rushed forward quickly, but there was no intention of any conflict. They all looked at their leader with concern.

The team doctors were incredibly fast; they even reached the two players before the players themselves and began checking their injuries.

The referee kept shouting for all the players to step back, clear space, and make room for the team doctors.

Stern, who had been calm and satisfied with the series, also lost all his smile and composure. He stood up anxiously and observed the situation on the court.

If Lin Tian and Pierce get injured, how will this perfect finals series end?

"Two star players down in one possession! This is absolutely something no one wanted to see! It's heartbreaking for both New York and Phoenix!" Kenny exclaimed. "I really hope they're both okay!"

"Let's watch the replay." Barkley's tone was no longer cheerful and carefree, but worried. "At least we can see how those two are doing from the replay. As long as we can see how they were injured, we can roughly guess their condition."

……

After watching the replay multiple times, all four commentators fell silent.

Unfortunately, even with their combined basketball experience of over 100 years, the four of them couldn't figure out how the two men got injured.

There was no problem when jumping, no problem when competing, and no problem when landing.

But it was these two who ran into trouble.

After a moment of silence among the four, Barkley finally sighed and said, "Injuries caused by non-contact are often more serious."

That statement itself is correct.

But even so-called non-contact injuries must have a cause, a specific moment of injury, and a clearly visible time of injury.

But looking at the process of Lin Tian and Pierce jumping, battling, and landing, how should we describe their injuries?

It appeared out of thin air.

It's like, how should I put it?

Barkley was sitting there giving a commentary when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee, and then he checked it.

Snap! The cruciate ligament ruptured.

That's just outrageous.

At least from what everyone can see, this is just so outrageous.

But no matter how outrageous it may seem, all four of them are athletes and possess the most basic professional ethics expected of commentators.

They would never speculate here that the two people were actually alright, or that the collision wasn't fierce enough to cause injury.

This is not only because they have professional ethics, but also because they know that players have many outrageous injuries. For example, Barkley once injured his eye while attending a Madonna concert because the sound and light effects were too amazing, causing him to miss a period of games.

So, although they couldn't understand the collision between Pierce and Lin Tian, ​​since both of them were lying on the ground, they must have been injured.

We can't fake an injury at this crucial moment in the finals, can we?

impossible!

Who could do something like this?

In any case, as players, the four of them would never steer the conversation toward conspiracy theories like 'faking an injury'.

They all have their own bottom lines.

They are worried right now.

They were worried that these two players might not be able to play anymore, and they were worried that their injuries might be serious enough to affect the competition.

At this moment, the hearts of all the fans at Madison Square Garden were in turmoil. They were worried and afraid. They all knew what would happen to the team without Lin Tian.

They were all scared.

In the center of the court, the team doctors of the two teams surrounded Lin Tian and Pierce respectively, both of them looking completely bewildered.

what's going on?

Our friend is perfectly fine! Very healthy!

If it weren't for the fact that this was the finals, and that countless people were watching the game live both in person and on television, the team doctors from both sides would definitely be grabbing each other's arms right now, saying, "Brother, can you take a look at our guy? I can't find anything wrong with him."

Even the best doctor cannot find problems in a healthy person; only quacks and charlatans can do that.

But neither the Knicks' team doctor nor Phoenix's miracle doctor were willing to ask questions out of politeness, and since they couldn't find the problem, they were both in a state of confusion and bewilderment.

After all, it's fine to ask questions in private, on the operating table, or in the office, but to openly ask a question to your opponent in such a high-profile moment...

It might affect my future job!

Fortunately, Lin Tian and Pierce were quite considerate at this point and didn't just lie there pretending to be dead.

Almost simultaneously, the two said to their team doctor, "I'm fine, I don't feel as much pain anymore."

Then Pierce said, "I have to go to the locker room! I need to go back and rest."

Lin Tian said, "I want a bicycle. I need to stretch my muscles on the sidelines first."

At that moment, the team doctors' eyes lit up! These two people still had self-awareness, spoke clearly and logically, and even their voices didn't sound as painful and tired as before.

I feel much more energetic now!

It seems like everything's really alright!

Then, both team doctors chose to comply.

On the Suns' side, they called in a wheelchair, lifted Pierce onto the court, and quickly pushed him off the court towards the locker room.

The entire process was completed in one go, smoothly and efficiently, and incredibly fast!

Because Pierce kept shouting, "Hurry! Hurry! I can't take it anymore!"

Meanwhile, the Knicks' actions were much quieter and more measured.

The team doctors first helped Lin Tian to the entrance of the players' tunnel, which caused a stir among the fans.

TNT's four commentators all expressed their lament!

If Lin Tian and Pierce are both carried off the field, and if both of them suffer serious injuries, then the excitement of this game and this round of games will be greatly reduced!

Nobody wants to see that happen.

Right now, everyone except the two people directly involved is quite anxious; they all want to know what exactly happened to them. (End of Chapter)
