LRAB Chapter 251 A Perfect Record Night! An Impeccable Performance
Chapter 251 A Perfect Record Night! An Impeccable Performance
Chapter 251 A perfect night of record! An impeccable performance!
Because after Bryant grabbed the rebound, he didn't even think about protecting the ball, but instead exposed it directly, and Lin Tian was right in front of him at that moment!
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian slapped the basketball away, then caught it with one hand and passed it from behind in the same direction as before!
It's still Mullin! Still in the same position! Still 3 points!
"Whoosh!"
Mullin finally didn't disappoint with his third consecutive three-point attempt from the same position!
The "Golden Left Hand" finally hits his first three-pointer!
However, although Mullin hit his first three-pointer, he remains a weak link on the defensive end.
In particular, Bird, wanting the Bulls to score more points, assigned Mullin to match up against Kukoc, the Bulls' only reliable offensive option.
Mullin, a seasoned veteran, knew exactly why Bird had made those arrangements, so he completely went into a passive defensive mode, sometimes not even lifting his hand, letting Kukoc play however he wanted.
Kukoc lived up to expectations, scoring on his next three consecutive possessions! Not only that, he also drove hard to the basket, converting a 2+1 play against Schmitz!
Although the Bulls managed to narrow the gap slightly thanks to Kukoc's continuous attacks, this amount of firepower was clearly insufficient. With the Pacers' powerful offensive firepower, the gap could be reduced slightly, but further closing the gap was obviously just wishful thinking!
Fortunately, thanks to Kukoc's outburst, the score difference between the two sides hovered around 10 points, preventing it from becoming too ugly!
This balance lasted until there were 7 seconds left in the first quarter!
In the Pacers' final possession, Lin Tian held the ball and isolated his old friend Harper outside the three-point line. After a series of crossover dribbles and between-the-legs dribbles, Lin Tian shook Harper's center of gravity so much that he almost fell over. Even though Harper was experienced, he was able to regain his balance in time and avoid being completely disheveled.
But that's all he could do: avoid falling and maintain his dignity.
Defense? Impossible!
So when Lin Tian took a step to Hubble's side and suddenly launched a three-pointer, Hubble had no chance to react or prepare.
I could only look back and then I heard that crisp sound.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, there are 3 seconds left in the first quarter!
Kukoc grumbled and walked dejectedly to the baseline, slammed the basketball on the floor once, and then casually passed it out again.
He naturally assumed that the Pacers were already leading by so much that with 3 seconds left, they wouldn't be able to use a full-court press. So, his pass was exactly the same as the sideline pass made by a Polish player many years later!
Such a soft and careless pass naturally led to another interception by him!
Lin Tian suddenly appeared from behind Hubble, grabbed the basketball, and threw it into the air!
"boom!"
On the other side, Carter, who had also started sprinting towards the basket as soon as Lin Tian was about to steal the ball, once again leaped high, caught the basketball, drew his signature perfectly round windmill shape, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!
Less than a second remained in the first quarter!
This time, Kukoc was much more cautious when inbounding the ball from the baseline. He even had some PTSD, and worried that Lin Tian would steal the ball again. Kukoc went directly to Simpkins, who was far away in the Pacers' half of the court.
Simpkins did get the basketball, but having never attempted a three-pointer in his career, he clearly lacked any mid-court shooting ability. He easily caught the ball, effectively ending the first quarter.
At this point, the score was 40-23!
The Pacers extended their lead to 17 points with a 5-0 run in the final 7 seconds!
"What a fantastic match! Absolutely amazing! I've never commentated on such an exciting game before! I wish I could read out Lin's stats for every single round! I wish I could announce how far Lin is from tonight's goal every single round!"
Barkley said enthusiastically, "But after the first quarter, I think everyone could see one thing: Lin wasn't just talking nonsense! When it comes to stats, he really can get as much as he wants, however much he wants!"
"Data is just too easy for him!"
Kenny looked at the stats, his voice even tinged with excitement: "In the first quarter, Lin played all 12 minutes, scoring 15 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals! One quarter! One quarter!"
On NBC's end, Smith had just read out Lin's stats, then looked at Marcus and said, "I'm starting to think that Lin might actually get a quadruple-double, or even better, more amazing stats than we imagined?"
Marcus continued, "Breaking news! The first half of the Nets vs. Bucks game, which started earlier, is over! Stephon Marbury scored 21 points in the first half, while Ray Allen had a terrible performance, going 0-for-5 from three-point range. The Nets lead the Bucks 50-44!"
"Get to the point." Smith rolled his eyes, signaling Marcus to stop with the small talk and get straight to the point.
"Kendall Kier scored 10 points in the first half, but! He didn't have a single steal in the first half!" Marcus exclaimed excitedly. "You know what that means, right!"
On the Huaxia Sports side, Su Qun excitedly exclaimed, "Lin Tian recorded 4 steals in the first quarter! Meanwhile, the Nets' shooting guard Kendall Geer, who is currently the steals leader this year, didn't have a single steal in the first half!"
"Based on their current stats, the gap between Lin Tian and Kiel in total steals has narrowed to 4! If Lin Tian gets another 5 steals in the second half, while Kiel still doesn't get a single steal, then Lin Tian can be crowned the steals king again tonight!"
Sun Zhengping also said, "For a guard to win the assists, steals, and scoring titles in the same year is truly an unprecedented and unparalleled achievement! No matter how many years pass, no matter how strong a point guard appears in the league, Lin Tian this season will always be a peak they can't overlook!"
At that moment, in the City Square arena, Bird looked at Lin Tian, who was covered in sweat, and asked, "How are you? Need a rest?"
"Of course not!" Lin Tian said with a smile, "What if the guys pull ahead to 35 points if we rest now? I really want those records!"
Bird nodded, glanced at the bench, and said with a smile, "Then, Rashad, El, Fred, and Eddrick, the four of you will play with Lin!"
Bird's words stunned even Lin Tian.
So you're really not hiding anything, you're coming out all out in the open, aren't you!
Of these four players, only Hofrid Hoiberg could be considered a player on the fringes of rotation; the other three were complete benchwarmers!
A set of data can show just how much of a background these four people are.
Rashard Lewis has played 32 games this season, averaging 2.1 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
Al Harrington has played 29 games this season, averaging 3.6 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
Eddrick Böhnon has played 14 games this season, averaging 1.1 points and 0.4 assists per game.
Fred Hoiberg played 49 games this season, averaging 5.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game.
In the second quarter, Bird brazenly put all four of them on the court together with Lin Tian!
"Ouch! Ouch! Hahahaha! Larry, that idiot Larry is killing me!" Barkley almost clutched his stomach, squatting on the floor laughing. "This lineup, Larry is really, really creative! Absolutely so creative! He's afraid the Pacers will pull ahead by more than 30 points, and then Lin will have to go to the bench to rest!"
Bulls head coach Floyd's face turned purple at this moment.
Being mocked and completely disregarded like this is an insult that no one could tolerate.
"FUXX! Damn it! Who do you think you are? Do you think you're so great just because you're second in the East? Do you think you're so great just because you've won three MVPs? Let me tell you, in my eyes you're just trash! Just a lucky piece of trash!" Floyd suddenly erupted, roaring at Bird across the scorer's table.
He was really angry!
He also wanted to use this opportunity to show his team some fighting spirit!
A technical foul buys you a chance for your own players to fight back and build momentum!
This was Floyd's last resort; it was his last way to motivate the players!
If these bastards under my command still can't wake up and keep getting beaten up like this, I'm going back and quit!
Ok……
Forget it, there's no need. Work is more important. Next season, let's focus on developing that top rookie the team is about to draft and then reshape the team culture.
Yes, there's no need to be stubborn! Absolutely no need!
Floyd's outburst earned him a technical foul from the referee and a look from Bird that made him look like an idiot.
"Greg, stand up." Bird glanced at Floyd, still not satisfied, and called Buckner up, then said to him, "Go punch him."
"Huh? Really? Coach?" Buckner stood up, bewildered, then swallowed hard and said, "You're not serious, are you?"
"Of course I'm not serious. If I really wanted to beat him up, I'd let Ben do it." Bird grinned mischievously. "You go to the scorer's table, pretend you're going to play, and tell that Floyd: if he can win against our lineup, then I'll apologize to him and play the proper lineup against him."
"But if you can't even beat our third-string team, then don't spout any nonsense about respect! You don't deserve it!"
"Trash talk, go ahead." Buckner immediately stood up and ran to the scorer's table. When he was about 2 meters away from Floyd, Buckner glanced at the referees and noticed that none of the three referees were paying attention to him. He immediately shouted.
"Our coach said that if you can beat our third unit, he'll apologize and then he'll bring out his full lineup and crush you, just as you wish! He'll beat you so badly you'll have nightmares and cry your eyes out to your mom all summer long!"
It has to be said that the point guards in this league, especially those who rely on their brains to play, may have varying skill levels, but their hearts are truly dirtier than the next!
Take Buckner, for example. Due to his physical limitations, his playing level might be just so-so, but his heart is truly dirty.
Especially his ability to understand the superior's intentions, fully comprehend the head coach's thoughts, and even add his own extra touches is truly remarkable!
Anyway, just because of Buckner's words, Floyd's temper, which had just calmed down, suddenly flared up again. If the assistant coach next to him hadn't held him down and calmed him down, or he would have been ejected, Floyd would have stood up and said a few more words to Bird!
In particular, this bastard didn't even bother to criticize it himself, but instead sent someone else to do it.
Whom do you look down on?
I'm not worthy to talk to you directly, not worthy to chat with you face to face, right?
They sent someone to insult me?
Larry Bird, your insults are really sophisticated!
Floyd's blood pressure was soaring, but to be honest, he was actually quite happy at that moment!
What he wanted was to ignite the players' fighting spirit, to get them playing with passion and momentum, to catch up in the score. Even if they were to lose today, even if Lin Tian put up some epic stats, they should at least lose with dignity.
Floyd believed that with Bird on the court, his technical foul going in, and Buckner coming over to spray bullets, it would be like they were pissing on the Bulls' heads! Floyd was sure that this would ignite the players' fighting spirit and make them play with grit!
But when he confidently turned to look at his Bulls players, hoping to see a group of players with a shared sense of righteous indignation and bloodshot eyes, he was met with blank and numb faces. Not a single player on the entire bench empathized with him or felt insulted.
Even... Floyd heard a few faint laughs; the players were mocking him!
It's hopeless!
Absolutely hopeless! Die! All of you, die!
Floyd looked at the players behind him, seething with hatred.
Then, without saying a word, he plopped down on the bench.
This offseason, I'm definitely going to get rid of all these unambitious bastards!
Leave none alive!
As for this match, whatever!
Aren't you all ashamed? I'm not afraid of anything!
"Work hard during the offseason, and I'll consider giving you more opportunities next season." Buckner had barely sat down on the bench and hadn't even had a chance to speak when Bird put his arm around his shoulder and said, "I believe in you!"
"Thank you, Coach! I will definitely work hard! I definitely will!" Buckner's eyes lit up when he heard Bird's words!
Who knew that a single trash talk could win over the head coach!
At this moment, on the bench...
Well, there weren't any envious or jealous looks. The few people who might envy or be jealous of Buckner are all on the field right now.
Those sitting on the bench right now are all key players from the Pacers.
With all this commotion, Bird and the others completely lost focus on the court, and the entire bench was filled with laughter and chatter, showing no regard for the game.
Bird chatted with Buckner for a while, then fed him a ton of cookies until Buckner was burping.
What? Next year we'll play with two point guards? What? If Reggie isn't in good form, you'll get a lot of playing time? What? You should practice your shooting and passing more. Lin-Vince-Greg is our team's future backcourt trio.
Young Buckner had never eaten so many biscuits before, and for a moment he wished he could give his life for Bird!
Bird looked at the burning dreams and passion in the young man's eyes, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then looked up at the score.
55: 33!
The Pacers' lead has reached 22 points.
The second quarter has only been going on for about 4 minutes.
"They really can't beat our third unit." Bird was stunned for a moment. His original intention for using this lineup was to let Lin Tian pad his stats so that the Bulls could catch up. But he never expected that the Bulls would be unable to beat such a bunch of rookies and benchwarmers.
"What about the technical statistics? Let me see." Bird reached out and asked for a copy of the technical statistics, then began to study them.
Then his eyes widened.
Bird doubted he was seeing things, but after squinting and looking at it again, he was certain that he wasn't mistaken; Lin Tian was just too strong!
No wonder the cheers in the arena were so loud and clear; Bird probably thought they were celebrating the Bulls' rookie head coach getting a technical foul.
But the fans didn't care about it at all.
The fans' attention is all on Lin Tian!
首节拿下15分8次助攻6篮板4抢断的林天，在这一节只打了4分钟的情况下，数据已经变成了23分12次助攻8篮板5抢断。
No wonder the score gap has widened again.
In just a short while, Lin Tian has already scored 8 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 steal!
At this point in the game, the suspense of Lin Tian surpassing Kidd to become the season's assist leader is almost gone. With only 5 assists, Lin Tian's efficiency means he can finish it in the first half!
Breaking Chamberlain's record and achieving a triple-double in 10 consecutive games to become the all-time leader is practically no problem.
With just two rebounds short, how could we possibly miss it?
While Bird was looking down at the statistics, Lin Tian leaped up and grabbed the Bulls' missed shot, then dribbled the ball coast-to-coast and sped forward!
After arriving at the frontcourt, facing a double-team defense, he suddenly threw the basketball towards the backboard, then accelerated past the two defenders, jumped high, grabbed the basketball, and then slammed it towards the basket with all his might!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Lin Tian's stats list showed an additional 2 points and 2 rebounds!
Three pairs, and that's it?
Bird could hardly believe his eyes. This was too fast! How long had it taken? 16 minutes and 36 seconds?
Bird glanced at the time and the data, then suddenly stood up and called a timeout!
He called this pause specifically for Lin Tian!
The timeout will take effect when the ball goes dead or when possession is returned to the Pacers!
Then, as expected, the Bulls' next attack missed, and Lin Tian grabbed the rebound again, triggering a timeout! Both teams' players prepared to go to the bench!
Lin Tian was still a little confused by Bird's sudden timeout.
What happened? I was planning to launch another fast break, why did it suddenly stop?
In response to Lin Tian's question, Bird pointed expressionlessly to the large screen.
The above shows Lin Tian's current stats and playing time; he has already achieved a triple-double!
And more importantly...
Next to Lin Tian, another person's avatar and data appeared.
The profile picture is even in black and white.
吉姆·塔克：1955年用时17分12秒，拿下12分10篮板12次助攻。
然后是林天的：1999年用时16分36秒，拿下25分12次助攻10篮板5抢断。
A new NBA record has been set! The fastest triple-double in history has been achieved!
Jim Tucker's 44-year-old record for the fastest triple-double in NBA history has finally been broken by Lin Tian! Although it was only 36 seconds faster, it was still a record broken!
Even if the NBA had revoked the offensive rebound that Lin Tian grabbed after his self-alley-oop dunk, Lin Tian would have grabbed another defensive rebound in less than 15 seconds!
This record belongs 100% to Lin Tian!
The only difference is whether it's 16 minutes and 36 seconds or 16 minutes and 51 seconds.
But clearly, this isn't a problem at all! Nobody cares about this thing!
Anyway, Lin Tian broke the record tonight!
Then, the big screen changed its interface. Lin Tian's avatar remained the same, but the last line changed from numbers to session number!
10 consecutive games with triple-doubles!
Next to him is the famous Wilt Chamberlain!
Below his name was another line of text.
Three consecutive games with triple-doubles: 9 games!
Lin Tian broke two almost impossible historical records at the same time!
Record for the fastest single-game triple-double! And consecutive triple-double games!
Both of these records now belong to Lin Tian!
That's why Bird specifically called a timeout!
Lin Tian deserves to stop and enjoy the cheers of the fans, and the fans also need a moment to breathe and shout for their superhero!
"You, don't go back to the bench. I don't have any tactics to set up. Go stand on the court and wave to the fans. You don't need to do anything else. Go, go, hurry up!" Bird waved his hand dismissively, indicating that this court belonged to him for the next minute!
So Lin Tian simply stood in the middle of the field, waving to the fans in all directions to thank them for their support and love!
In addition, tens of thousands of fans gathered in the square outside the City Square Stadium. They also saw Lin Tian break the record on the big screen. The fans outside the square cheered, jumped and roared wildly!
In a sense, the fans gathered outside the stadium are actually more loyal and more enthusiastic than the fans inside!
After all, the viewing environment here is much worse than inside!
For a moment, some Indians living nearby who knew nothing about the NBA even thought it was an earthquake or some serious incident, and many of them rushed out of their houses in fright!
"Triple-double! Lin did it! Triple-double! The tenth in a row!" Barkley raised his arms in celebration. If it weren't for his contract with TNT, he would have flown to Indiana immediately to celebrate with Lin Tian!
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Less than 17 minutes! Less than 17 minutes! I thought Lin would definitely achieve a triple-double tonight, but I really didn't expect it to be this fast, this ruthless! He directly gave us a brand new record!" Marcus sincerely expressed his respect for Lin Tian's efficiency!
"After tonight, two of the NBA's most unbreakable super records will bear the names of the Chinese! Lin Tian! He is absolutely the pride of the Chinese people!" Su Qun was equally excited!
"At least two!" Sun Zhengping maintained his smile and professionalism, slightly correcting Su Qun.
Fans around the world who support Lin Tian and are eager to see him set a new record went wild after he achieved a triple-double!
"3700 million! 3700 million! The number of viewers has exceeded 3700 million!" Backstage staff at both TNT and NBC exclaimed in unison!
On the court, Bird's timeout had ended, and the players returned to the court to prepare for the game!
Lin Tian, of course, will remain here! He still has the main tasks of scoring and assisting, as well as the side tasks of stealing!
Although it's the final night of the regular season, there are 11 games tonight.
But it has to be said that 99% of NBA fans are watching this game tonight, and watching Lin Tian!
After returning to the court, Lin Tian showed no intention of slowing down or calming down; he continued his relentless attack!
Three-pointer, layup, pull-up jumper!
After his three consecutive individual offensive attacks, Lin Tian found his teammates one after another, providing assists to Carter and Christie, who had just come on the court!
During this time, Lin Tian also managed to steal the ball again!
After this frenzy, the Pacers' lead has reached 30 points!
They're only 5 points away from stopping when Lin Tian said he'd stop after 35 points!
At this moment, Floyd on the sidelines was truly resigned and desperate. He no longer thought about winning, hindering Lin Tian's record-breaking night, or giving the world a surprise.
His only thought was for the team to lose by 35 points as soon as possible, so that Lin Tian could keep his promise and rest on the bench.
Freud swore that he had never prayed to God so devoutly in his life, nor had he ever longed for God's help so much.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
However, Floyd's response came from two Bulls players, Harper and Barry, each hitting a three-pointer, and Simpkins, who had never made a three-pointer in his career, throwing up a super long three-pointer when he was forced into a near 24-second violation.
The Bulls have scored in three consecutive rounds!
Freud has gone mad!
What the hell were you guys doing all this time?
Down by 30 points, are you starting to explode?
They're afraid Lin Tian's stats aren't impressive enough, or that he hasn't broken enough records, so they're giving him a hand, right?
Floyd was furious with his players, so much so that he actually called a timeout and berated them for making the shot at that crucial moment.
Then, in a fit of rage, Floyd substituted all three of the team's top scorers: Harper, Kukoc, and Barry!
He substituted in Keith Brown, Charles Jones, and Corey Benjamin, who couldn't even get playing time on the terrible Bulls team!
These three guys barely average 10 points per game combined. Floyd just couldn't believe that these three benchwarmers could put on a great performance in the game!
Can it be done?
can!
Benjamin immediately launched a step-back three-pointer, sinking an incredibly difficult three-pointer from a great distance over Lin Tian! This guy looks just as fierce as Ray Allen!
Although the Pacers scored two more baskets in a row, just as they widened the gap a little, Jones came again! This guy forced his way to the basket against the Pacers' drive, scored the ball, and drew a foul from Ben Wallace!
"FUXX!" Freud was completely enraged!
He threw the tactical board directly on the ground.
Are you all messing with me? Are you all fucking acting against me? When we should have won the regular season, you guys were playing like high schoolers, but now that we should have lost, you all have some kind of epic performance?
Next season, all of you get the hell out! Don't even think about keeping any of you on the team!
Fueled by Floyd's rage, the first half of the game progressed rapidly.
In reality, these benchwarmers only have a few tricks up their sleeves. Although the Pacers' defensive intensity was already very low, they really didn't have any outstanding skills. At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides was 31 points!
48: 79!
"33 points, 15 assists, 13 rebounds, and 7 steals!" Barkley eagerly read out Lin Tian's stats as the halftime whistle blew!
"Only 7 points and 2 assists left! Can the Bulls stop them? Can they extend their lead to 35 points before Lin Tian breaks the record?" Kenny was getting excited too. After all, when a historic record-breaking moment is right in front of you, no one can stay calm!
"The way you're saying it makes it sound like the Bulls are leading by 31 points!" Barkley laughed. "But I think right now, all the fans in Chicago are hoping the difference will reach 35 so Lin can rest! His performance tonight was truly terrifying!"
"For the Nets, the game is still very close, and it's hard to tell who will win! The third quarter is over! Marbury has 33 points so far, while Ray Allen has gone 0-for-7 from three-point range!" Marcus read out the stats from another game.
But before he could finish reading, Smith snatched the data sheet from his hand, glanced at it, and said, "I know what everyone wants to ask! Kendall Geer still hasn't had a single steal! I bet countless Lin Tian fans are now cheering for the Bucks' Cassell and Ray Allen!"
"They must be praying, praying that Kier doesn't get a steal! After all, Lin already has 7 steals, and he only needs 2 more to become the steals leader! He also needs 3 more steals to reach the second-ever quadruple-double in NBA history! Can Lin do it?"
Su Qun, still young, was already getting restless, his face flushed with excitement: "Lin can definitely do it! He can! He'll accomplish far more tonight than we ever imagined!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in both locker rooms was surprisingly the same.
Silence! Utter silence!
However, the reasons for the quiet were completely different.
On the Pacers' side, Lin Tian played the entire 24 minutes of the first half, and he was currently panting heavily, constantly recovering his energy.
After all, he took charge of every single attack in the first half, handling the ball himself in every possession! That kind of exertion is far greater than what he would normally experience in a game! Even though his stamina has reached S+, he still needs enough time to recover!
The Pacers players didn't want their words to hinder Lin Tian's recovery.
In the Bulls' locker room, Floyd was in utter despair. He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and remained silent.
Destroy everything! Destroy all of it!
This is what Freud is thinking right now!
As for the Bulls players?
Even though they've lost so badly this season, they're not stupid. They can tell the head coach is in a bad mood, so no one speaks up. No one wants to be the one to stick their neck out or be the punching bag.
Soon, halftime ended, and Bird was the first to stand up, uttering his first words during the break: "Let's go, just keep playing at the same pace as the first half!"
At the same time, Floyd uttered his only words during halftime: "There's only one goal for the second half: lose by 35 points as quickly as possible! I don't care if Lin is really going to go out or not, you guys need to lose by 35 as soon as possible! Got it?"
The state of both coaches is enough to illustrate how strange and magical this match is!
The second half of the game continued amidst everyone's anticipation!
"By the way, Lin, I just caught a glimpse of the Nets' game," Bird suddenly said before Lin Tian went on the court. "If you want a quadruple-double or the steals title, Geer got his first steal of the night. If you want to surpass him, you'll need at least 10 steals!"
"And this is all under the premise that Kiel didn't make a single steal in their last 7 minutes! Go ahead, I'll give you the live stats!"
Lin Tian nodded and stepped onto the court once again!
Actually, before today's game, Lin Tian had never thought about getting 10 steals. But now that the Bulls are so disappointing, stealing the ball from them is as easy as stealing from high school students. Of course, Lin Tian wouldn't miss such a natural opportunity!
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Tian's goal had changed from a triple-double of 40+17 to a quadruple-double!
Then, at the start of the third quarter, the Pacers had their first attack against Harper. Lin Tian could clearly sense that Harper was becoming increasingly distracted while playing.
After joining the Bulls, he had a bit of a "civil servant" vibe on the court, working nine to five, clocking out, never slacking off, but definitely never working overtime.
Now that Jordan, Pippen, and Jackson are gone, and Kukoc is an introverted European, Harper is practically the team's leader in this Bulls team.
So, with no one paying any attention to him, this guy truly began his career as a slacker civil servant.
The main point is to be absent-minded and just get by!
He's been criticized by Floyd countless times this season for his attitude on the court.
But now, his listless state has become Freud's hope!
Floyd genuinely hoped that Hubble would be outplayed by Lin Tian even more, and that the point difference would soon reach over 35 points, so that Lin Tian could be forced off the court!
From this perspective, Hubble truly did not disappoint Freud!
On the first offensive play of the third quarter, he was intercepted face-to-face by Lin Tian!
With a "snap," the basketball passed from Hubble's hands to Lin Tian's. Lin Tian then sprinted back to the frontcourt, glanced at the ball, and passed it to Carter!
Carter once again soared into the air and slammed home a one-handed dunk!
