Chapter 572 Provocation? I'll fall for provocation!
A provocation tactic?
Lin Tian snorted, stopped wasting words with Bogut, and turned to start his defense.
Normally, Lin Tian wouldn't even bother to respond to such a low-level and unskilled attempt at provocation.
At other times, if Lin Tian said anything more, it would be an insult to his own intelligence.
But tonight...
The underlings launched wave after wave of attacks, humiliating Bogut time and time again. Now, it's time for Lin Tian to take action personally and give tonight's farce a perfect ending, letting Bogut know who he really messed with.
There are some people he has to avoid for the rest of his life.
Twenty seconds later, the Knicks had an offensive opportunity. Lin Tian continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, then waved his hand, signaling all his teammates to create space for him. Lin Tian was going to go one-on-one!
After two consecutive crossover dribbles to find his rhythm, Lin Tian, as if he couldn't see Ford in front of him at all, suddenly used a hovering ball and a forward attack step to build up his momentum. Then, he slammed his feet on the floor and unleashed his terrifying speed once again!
Even though Ford is known as one of the top three fastest in the NBA, and even though he is extremely confident in his speed, when facing Lin Tian who is accelerating at full speed to break through, Ford can do nothing but stare back with disbelief in his eyes.
Lin Tian is too fast!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian got past Ford, rushed to the free-throw line, then suddenly gathered the ball, started moving, and finally pulled up.
He charged straight at Bogut.
"I've been waiting for you!" Bogut's eyes flashed with ferocity. He judged the angle and timing of Lin Tian's charge and prepared to raise his elbow to deliver a vicious blow to Lin Tian in mid-air!
He was going to flip Lin Tian over in mid-air!
As for the consequences?
We'll see! Tonight, Bogut was humiliated, especially by the Asians he despises the most.
He has to vent his anger tonight!
However, Bogut overestimated himself and underestimated Lin Tian.
He didn't even have time to throw those two big elbows!
Just as he had gathered his strength and was about to deliver the elbow strike, Lin Tian had already climbed to his highest point and was flying towards Bogut!
It's too late for anything.
Bogut didn't have time to exert any force or make any movement because he had briefly lost consciousness.
Lin Tian's speed was too fast! His impact was also too strong!
Bogut suddenly remembered when he was 8 years old, he had a one-on-one fight with a kangaroo and was punched on the head by the adult kangaroo.
These two feelings are so similar!
Bogut didn't even have a chance to commit a malicious foul before Lin Tian collided head-on with his face, causing him to lose his balance.
Bogut's vision was still black. He didn't know what had happened. It was as if Lin Tian's impact had knocked his soul out first before hitting his body.
"boom!"
A deafeningly loud bang rang out, and this time Bogut saw it clearly: Lin Tian was hanging on the rim with both hands, swinging back and forth.
Bogut himself, on the other hand, was getting further and further away from Lin Tian.
He could feel that he had completely lost his weight and had completely lost the ability to resist his body.
At the same time, although Bogut regained his sight, his hearing seemed to have disappeared again, and he could not hear what the people at the scene were shouting or saying.
Then, a sensation of touch suddenly came.
He finally landed on the floor, waves of pain shooting through his back, but this pain brought Bogut a sense of relief.
I finally felt it again, I finally regained control of my body, and I finally landed.
"Snapped!"
Next to land was Lin Tian.
After completing this dunk, which was full of violent aesthetics and incredibly crazy, or rather, knocking someone away, he swayed twice on the rim using the momentum, and then when he landed again, he was right in front of Bogut.
"Little kangaroo, are you homesick?"
Faced with Lin Tian's provocation, Bogut finally fell silent this time. Not only did he remain silent, but he also lowered his head, no longer having the courage to meet Lin Tian's gaze.
Lin Tian's dunk really intimidated Bogut!
In particular, if Bogut were to describe to Lin Tian how he had just felt, Lin Tian would probably send him straight to the hospital.
What the hell? I dunked and you dunked me so badly that I lost all five senses?
So it's the Heavenly Dance Wheel! Depriving you of your five senses, huh?
If your hair is so badly damaged, you really need to go to the hospital to see a doctor right away.
"Separate! Separate! Separate immediately! Mind your behavior! If you make any further moves, I'll eject you right now!" The baseline referee quickly squeezed between Lin Tian and Bogut. He had seen how arrogant Lin Tian was and how provocative he was.
He was afraid that the two of them would actually have some kind of conflict!
However, the referees were clearly overthinking things; their tension and sense of impending doom were completely unnecessary.
Bogut has lost his courage. Let alone fighting Lin Tian, he probably wouldn't even dare to show his face under the basket tonight to stop the Knicks players from attacking the rim.
It's not just tonight; this guy might be traumatized every time he faces the Knicks from now on, trembling with fear and afraid to stand under the basket to defend.
He's been dunked on more times tonight than he's had in his entire basketball career combined.
If Bogut doesn't have any psychological trauma, then his mental fortitude is truly remarkable.
It was so good that even Lin Tian was willing to give it a thumbs up.
As for Lin Tian?
He is not the kind of person who, even when he has the upper hand, will still be unforgiving, determined to beat someone to a pulp, or bully someone who is down on their luck.
Lin Da Guanren is responsible for beating all those who are reckless and ignorant of their place into stray dogs and drowned chickens.
He doesn't bully the weak.
Therefore, at least tonight, and at least until Bogut seeks his own death again, Lin Tian is not prepared to target him anymore.
Of course, Lord Lin is not prepared to retract the so-called "jianghu kill order" he issued earlier.
After all, you, Bogut, only admire me and the Knicks. There are 28 other teams in the league, and you don't admire them all.
If everyone is not convinced, then trouble might arise; if trouble continues, then people might get hurt.
I, Lord Lin, cannot stand this!
At this moment, it's time for Lin Tian, the "Martial Arts Alliance Leader," to raise his arm and roar.
"No need to be polite with this filthy dog who likes to cripple people. Let's all gang up on him and cripple him!"
It's easy to imagine that Bogut will have a very tough season, and there will likely be a lot of people who want to welcome him to the NBA.
At the same time, the Bucks' record this season will most likely be much worse than last season.
Last season, everyone treated them like pushovers, thinking they could just beat them easily. But they got too careless and ended up losing.
But this season is different.
This season, quite a few people, out of respect for Lin Tian, have decided to teach Bogut a lesson.
The inevitable result is that everyone will stop treating them as easy targets in the lottery and start treating them as serious opponents.
The Bucks' record this season...
There's a good chance they'll select the top scorer!
For the remainder of the game, Bogut became completely timid. He dared not protect the rim anymore, and no matter who came in from the outside, his first reaction was to move aside to avoid being dunked on.
Given the situation tonight, if he is detained again, it could very well make history.
The player who was dunked on most times in a single game, the player who appeared most often as a backdrop in today's, this week's, and this month's top ten plays...
Of course, even if he starts to dodge and stops getting penalized, he still can't escape the achievements mentioned above.
In the first two quarters, he was penalized too heavily and realized his mistake too late; it was somewhat too late.
131: 90!
The final score difference in this game was 41 points, which is also the Knicks' biggest win in recent games.
Next, the Knicks players can return to New York, rest for three days, and then enjoy a five-game home run!
Of course, before returning to New York, Lin Tian had to go to the press conference to deliver two more blows to Bogut.
"Andrew is one of the most aggressive defensive players I've ever seen! We had a lot of dunks tonight, and many of them were over Andrew's head."
"But he wasn't afraid! He didn't hide or run away! As a defender, he had the most basic dignity and bottom line. He would always hold his ground under the basket, making it his own backyard, and not allowing anyone to trample on his rim!"
"Having this mindset as a defender already fulfills one of the two essential elements to becoming a top defender!"
"Andrew has already accomplished half of this; he just needs to complete the other half to become one of the best defensive players in the league."
"Learn to defend! If he learns to defend, and with the courage he showed even after being dunked on 10 times in one night, he will definitely become the best defender."
Although Lin Tian's words sounded like he was praising Bogut, upon closer inspection, every single one of them was an insult.
Lin Tian's analysis is as follows: Bogut is a silly, naive guy who just stands there pretending to be cool. He doesn't even put up a fight when he gets dunked on. He can't even run away, and he has no defense at all. He claims that his biggest advantage after entering the league is his defense, but he just doesn't have any defensive ability.
In the past, if someone said that Bogut had no defense at all, it wouldn't have caused a huge uproar, but fans, players, and coaches would definitely think, "Who do you think you are, spouting such nonsense?"
But today, after the entire Knicks team took turns dunking on Bogut's head, and after Lin Tian's dunk completely stunned Bogut, causing him to run away, Lin Tian's statement makes perfect sense.
We dunked on him so badly he couldn't even stand up. I said he can't defend, is that a problem?
As for the fans, there's definitely no problem.
However, within the scope of the alliance, there are still some issues.
Especially after that night, Lin Tian sent another group message to everyone.
"You didn't turn Bogut into a defensive stalwart again after playing against the Bucks, did you?"
With just that one sentence, at least 10 phones were thrown out across the various cities of the alliance that night, uttering about 20 "FUXX" curses!
The team has decided that even if they can't punish Bogut in the same way the Knicks did with their entire team playing like animals, they still have to score 4-50 points on him to prove that this guy really can't defend!
The first two people to cause Bogut trouble were Carter and Yao Ming.
The Nets faced the Bucks the day after New York. That night, Yao Ming gave Bogut a good talking-to, showing him what a true FIBA top center is and teaching him what offense is.
As for Carter, he found two opportunities to dunk while riding on Bogut's head.
Yao Ming, who scored 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks, said: "His defensive willingness, talent, and size are quite good, but his technique, ability, and awareness still need further development."
Carter, who completed two dunks, said: "Welcome to the NBA! He should watch more of Duncan's game film. He can never be out of position now, but just not being out of position will only make him a background character."
Just two days after the Nets played the Bucks, the Wizards, who are now rebuilding with Arenas as their leader, also faced the Bucks.
The Wizards, who recruited and assembled the Arenas-Jamies-Butler trio this year, are full of vigor and ambition.
Against the Bucks, Arenas repeatedly used screens and mismatches to isolate and attack Bogut. Due to the Bucks' overall defensive formation and tactics being inadequate, Bogut's disadvantage in mobility, and Arenas' powerful scoring ability, the Bucks suffered another crushing defeat that night.
Arenas scored a career-high 54 points, leading his team to a resounding victory over the Bucks.
Then there's Iverson.
The Timberwolves, who had traveled a long way, employed a different approach to target Bogut.
19 minutes!
Iverson's ability to penetrate and draw fouls meant that Bogut only played 19 minutes on the court before picking up 6 fouls and having to go to the bench early. Apart from the 6 fouls, Bogut only managed 3 points and 4 rebounds, a truly terrible performance.
About a week later, the Bucks faced the Lakers.
Then?
Then neither O'Neal nor Kobe could match up against Bogut. The Australian's performance has declined significantly due to being targeted by the entire league over the past two weeks. Recently, his average stats have been only 3.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. His 3.2 points are even less than his 3.6 fouls!
From his spirit to his body, from his soul to his actions, he was completely defeated by Lin Tian's leadership.
Who knows when this guy will get back into form?
As for the Knicks at the same time?
They're still on a winning streak!
The Knicks didn't lose a single game throughout November!
With the addition of the two games played in October, they achieved a perfect record of 17 wins and 0 losses in the first month of the regular season!
这17场比赛之中，林天场均能够拿下23.4分12.3个篮板和14.1次助攻！其中在赛季的前8场比赛之中他全部拿下三双！
Achieving a triple-double in eight consecutive games since the start of the season is also a new NBA record!
His eight consecutive triple-doubles also rank third in NBA history, second only to Chamberlain's nine and his own record of ten!
He was unable to continue challenging his previous record because he only played for 27 minutes in the ninth game and had to leave the field when the game was completely exhausted.
More importantly, in these 17 games, Lin Tian's average playing time has dropped to only 29.7 minutes! His average playing time has not even exceeded 30 minutes!
The last season in which he averaged less than 30 minutes of playing time was back in his rookie season when he was a substitute for the Bulls.
A career-low playing time and a season average of triple-doubles that could be the first time in over 30 years to appear in the league, coupled with the Knicks' terrifying 17-game winning streak at the start of the season, are enough to prove how crazy Lin Tian and the Knicks are this season!
The Knicks in their first month were definitely the hottest team in the entire league!
In addition to Lin Tian's triple-double average, winning the Player of the Month award, and ranking first in the MVP rankings, the Knicks also ranked first in the league in power rankings, championship odds, offensive efficiency, and points per game!
It's worth mentioning that they also have the highest average points allowed per game in the league! They are the most offensively capable team in the league, but also the worst defensive team.
As Don Nelson said, he is building a very trendy team and an extremely innovative new tactical system.
He wants to win an unprecedented championship, one that is extremely unbalanced in every subject, to prove himself!
Besides Lin Tian, the team's leading scorer is Amar'e Stoudemire, who has made significant progress again this year, averaging 26 points and 8 rebounds per game!
After developing his mid-range shooting skills, his face-up drives and rolls to the basket became easier and more lethal. His 56% field goal percentage is the second highest among all players in the league who average more than 25 points per game.
Second only to O'Neal.
Then there's Carmelo Anthony, who averages 22.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. He's now the team's top one-on-one scorer on the wing. With Stoudemire and Lin Tian drawing a lot of defensive attention from the opponent, Anthony can confidently go one-on-one with his opponents in this area and destroy almost everyone he's matched up against.
The team's Big Three can combine for an average of 70 points per game, a firepower that is unparalleled in the entire league!
If the Knicks can maintain their offensive firepower throughout the season, they will definitely set a lot of records this season!
The person who's most panicked in the entire league right now is definitely Kenny!
He felt his mouth getting closer and closer to Barkley's fat, smelly ass. (End of Chapter)
