Chapter 309 Lin Long: Michael, how about a bet?
Ewing deliberately jumped over Iverson when he sent the baseline ball, and wanted to pass it to Jordan in the distance, but Kobe made a direct steal and rushed to the basket, which was a dunk on his head!
"Ask yourself, who made your eyes grow on your ass!"
Iverson is not the kind of guy who shows mercy, and scolded him directly.
So angry that Ewing almost took the ball and blasted him in the head.
Fortunately, Hill, an honest man, came between the two in time and stopped the dispute in time. Ewing's ball was still not given to Iverson, but passed to the nearest Hill.
The helpless Hill could only shrug his shoulders and move forward with the ball.
The disunity of the East Army has been completely put on the bright side of the game.
Hill is fine with the ball, he will distribute it to the right person or attack by himself according to the situation.
But Iverson's eyes were left with only the basket and 9 wooden men, completely ignoring Ewing or Jordan under the basket.
When Ewing or Jordan send the baseline ball, they will also deliberately ignore point guard Iverson and prevent him from holding the ball.
Under this circumstance, it is naturally impossible for the East Army to compete with the West, and the score will soon be drawn again.
The second half started just 3 minutes later, and the score behind the East team came to 15 points again.
In desperation, Bird called for the first timeout in the second half. Looking at the starting five who were more distant, Bird quickly made a rotation. Lin Long and Iverson went off the court and were replaced by Larry. Johnson and Alan Houston.
Following the Celtics 410 five in the first half, the lineup on the court became the Knicks four plus Grant Hill, which is also a tacit understanding and a very reasonable lineup.
"Don't worry, I agreed to Michael's request to let him play more in the second half, and I'll let you guys play later."
Bird looked at Iverson, who was in a hurry to get on the court, and gagged his mouth before he opened his mouth to ask. At the same time, he gave Lin Long a wink.
Lin Long had no choice but to hug Iverson again and said, "You scored 20 points in the first half, and he hasn't even scored five points so far, so it's impossible to surpass you. Let them have a good time in the third quarter. , The fourth quarter is our stage! I will pass you more balls at that time, and make sure you get this year's mvp."5
Hearing this, the straight-minded Iverson immediately nodded happily and said: "I'm afraid that they are too useless, and they will be completely destroyed in the third quarter.
"Don't worry, even if I fall behind by 30 points, I have the confidence to pull the score back!"
Lin Long confidently patted Iverson's shoulder and sat aside.
At the same time, I can't help but feel that when did I become such an enlightening and intimate brother?
Last year, it was Barkley who told himself not to be too impulsive and not to fight against Jordan. This year, he has persuaded Iverson to calm down.
This year and last year are really similar.
It was all Jordan and his friends for some reason against the first-time All-Star rookie, and had a dispute, and finally divided into two teams to play.
The only difference is that last year, apart from Barkley and Miller, who hated Jordan himself, he was almost helpless.
And this year's Iverson has himself and a whole team of All-Stars from the Celtics.
The game in the third quarter was going fast.
Both Lin Long and Iverson did not play again, and Jordan and Ewing simply played the full quarter.
Throughout the third quarter, the two sides fought back and forth, and the East Army recovered a little point again, only 7 points behind with 100:93.
During the break between quarters, Lin Long watched Jordan, who scored 13 points in a single quarter and was drinking water to replenish his strength, took the initiative to meet him and said, "Michael, how about a bet. 35
Hearing the bet, Jordan raised his head excitedly and looked at Lin Long: "How do you play?"
It was his gambler's instinct.
Lin Long knew that as long as he heard the word bet, Jordan would immediately turn into a traveler who had walked in the desert for ten days to see the oasis, and would turn green with excitement from head to toe.
"It's the old rule, one person and half a section, and the details are up to you." Lin Long shrugged, as if you were free to do so.
"That's what it says!" For Jordan, there was no need to use any aggressive tactics at all. It's just that Jordan paused and said: "It's just, you go first today, 6 minutes. If you can get the score 5 points ahead, then the second half is yours. If you can't do it, go with that shorty. Apologised to me in the post-match press conference.39
"no problem.
Lin Long nodded and turned back to his seat.
This year is really the same as last year.
While thinking, Lin Long called everyone on his side over. Except for the four Celtics, Iverson naturally followed, and even Miller stuck his head out curiously.
"Everyone, I made a bet with Michael again, if we overtake the score by five points in the first half, he won't make it in the fourth quarter!" Lin Long looked at the excited crowd and nodded with satisfaction.
Obviously, in the 1990s, except for Jordan's teammates, everyone (dbdd) was very enthusiastic about the opportunity to deflate Jordan.
"You should bet $10 million with him! This bet is too small." Barkley roared in dissatisfaction.
Obviously, knowing that Ewing won 10 million last night, his jealous eyes turned red.
"Then you go and tell him, just one cent and ten million, how about we rely on betting against Jordan in the future to support our family? Lin Long gave Barkley an angry look, and continued: "In the fourth quarter, Allen, Me, Reggie, Charles, Tralier, the five of us go first, Rasheed, you and Chauncey wait a bit, okay?
Billups and Rasheed nodded obediently, without any objection.
Reggie didn't do anything but said, "Wait, damn, I'm just here to take a look, and I'll be yours?"
"Then why don't you go there?" Lin Long pouted at Jordan.
Miller glanced at it and quickly shook his head: "I don't want to die.
2 minutes later, Lin Long, Iverson and others went back to the court. In the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, they wanted to turn a 7-point deficit into a 5-point lead and have a 12-point advantage. It's easy.
Phil Jackson seems to have guessed the lineup of the East team.
Instead of letting Stockton continue to play with the Lakers' foursome, he went to the younger and more defensive Jason Kidd.
Iverson couldn't help but scolded and said, "Damn, it's not Stockton, if it was Stockton, I could beat him until he didn't even know him."
"What if it's Jason?" Lin Long vaguely remembers that in the match between the 76ers and the Suns half a month ago, Kidd played against Iverson in the audience, and he only made 4 of 18 shots in defense. One of the most embarrassing games of my career.
Lin Long couldn't help but wonder if someone like Iverson would admit to Kidd?
"His face is so big and recognizable that his mother will surely remember his face."
Iverson tugged at his armguard and said, "But that's because his mother has a good memory, not because I can't beat his dog face."
Lin Long smiled and sent the basketball to Iverson. Sure enough, he thought too much.
People like Iverson have never known what is cowardice and what is fear.
Iverson grabbed the basketball and moved forward steadily. Kidd's defense really put a lot of pressure on him, preventing him from using his speed to the fullest. Lin Long immediately stepped forward to cover, and Ai Fossen changed direction quickly, and did not give Kidd and Pippen a chance to react. He turned into lightning and rushed directly into the interior.
Inside O'Neal stepped forward.
Oooo screamed that he was going to show Iverson a good look, but he just wanted to jump up.
I felt a sinking behind my back, and when I looked back, I found that it was actually Barkley who secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes!
Between this hesitation, Iverson has taken off and shot, a high throw hit the board, and quickly scored 2 points.
"Beautiful block! Lin!"
Iverson shouted excitedly, he had never experienced such a solid and reliable cover.
The attack of the West Army, the East Army once again collectively indented the inside line, completely emptied Pippen and Kidd, the two famously unstable shooting guys.
"Who cares!
Kidd looked at Iverson, who was 800 meters away from him, and cursed in annoyance, and shot directly with 3 points.
It's a pity... Kidd's shot was unstable, and the ball bounced high on the basket.
Lin Long jumped up immediately and copied the basketball into his hands.
When he was still in the air, Lin Long saw Iverson who was about to get off the ground. Lin Long raised his waist and used his hands hard. Before he landed, the basketball had already passed out long, and it flew directly to the half court of the west team.
