Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 7: Intra-team Training Match! A Stunning Performance!

Jackson's group assignment was actually quite fair.

The main force consists of Jordan, Pippen, Harper, Rodman, and Longley – five absolute starters, nothing much to say.

On the reserve team side, none of the Brown trio who had a grudge against Lin Tian played. Instead, Lin Tian was given the team's third-leading scorer, Kukoc, and the honest Bill Wennington, along with shooter Cole and forward Yad Butchler. This reserve lineup was quite reasonable!

However, in terms of ability, they are clearly only good as sparring partners and are destined to be beaten by the main team!

Since it was a training match, there was no jump ball; the main team started the game directly from midfield.

Lin Tian and Jordan went head-to-head right outside the three-point line!

"Kid, is that all you've got?"

"Is this all the skill you've got?"

"I can easily get past you with a single turn!"

"Did you ask your mom if you could go to her and cry for a while after you got beaten up?"

Before Jordan even started his attack, his mouth had already launched the first attack.

Indeed, it lives up to its reputation!

That mouth, like her personality, is just annoying!

Lin Tian didn't rush to retort. He knew better than anyone that there was a huge gap between his strength and Jordan's! He could only go toe-to-toe with Jordan in one or two abilities, but in all other abilities, he was obviously completely outmatched.

Therefore, he must concentrate fully and do his utmost!

Only by putting in all our mental and physical effort to deal with Jordan could we possibly avoid getting beaten up so badly!

Well, even with three top-tier talents protecting him, Lin Tian was very clear about the comparison between his strength and Jordan's!

"Whoosh!"

Lin Tian's self-awareness did nothing to help him. In less than 10 seconds, Jordan hit a signature turnaround jump shot, making it the first kill on Lin Tian! Then, a whole bunch of fancy trash talk came out of his mouth, and he started hurling insults at Lin Tian!

Lin Tian, ​​not yet familiar with his teammates, simply dribbled the ball quickly up the court against Jordan's defense, then passed it to Kukoc, and the ball never returned.

"Not bad speed." Jackson, sitting on the sidelines, nodded calmly. Lin Tian's speed across the half-court just now was indeed very good!

For several consecutive possessions, Lin Tian didn't make much of an impact on the court. On the contrary, Jordan was constantly demanding the ball in the low post, repeatedly backing down Lin Tian, ​​and using his elbows and dirty tricks to make Lin Tian look bad. Then he would turn around and shoot a jump shot again and again!

In less than 5 minutes, Jordan had already made 5 consecutive shots and scored 10 points. Lin Tian had no way to stop him!

Lin Tian, ​​on the other hand, only had one assist, and all other stats were zero, making him almost completely ineffective!

"Kid, you're really tough on the mouth! But apart from your mouth, you're really soft on the rest!" After making another basket, Jordan had completely figured out Lin Tian's weaknesses.

A newbie whose speed is okay, but otherwise he's not worth mentioning!

However, their defensive attitude was quite good. Even after being blown out like that, they didn't relax at all and continued to give it their all!

Okay!

"Tony, can you do me a favor?" Lin Tian knew that things couldn't go on like this. The practice match could only last for 10 minutes at most, and he hadn't made any progress in 5 minutes. He didn't want to be seen as a trash-talking king, and he didn't want to be looked down upon. Helpless, he could only ask for help!

"I'm not going to switch with you. You'll have to deal with Michael yourself." Kukoc thought Lin Tian wanted him to guard Jordan, so he quickly waved his hand to indicate that he wouldn't do it.

Lin Tian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. This Kukoc really seemed to have been psychologically traumatized by Jordan: "No, I mean, if they miss their shot and you get the rebound, can you throw it up the court? I can definitely catch it!"

"Throw it with all your might?" Kukoc was taken aback.

"Of course! You are the most talented and skilled passer in all of Europe. I believe you can definitely make some great passes!" Seeing that things were going well, Lin Tian quietly offered a compliment, thus reaching an agreement with Kukoc.

Then, Lin Tian approached Bill Winnington and said, "Bill, can you set a screen for me? I need your help; I can't do it alone."

With his towering height and weight of 213 cm, Winnington, as the team's third center, is the ideal candidate to be the screener.

After a slight hesitation, Wennington finally nodded.

So the attack continued!

Upon reaching the frontcourt, facing Jordan's close defense, Lin Tian carefully protected the ball and then quickly called for a screen from Wennington.

Jordan didn't expect Lin Tian to change his approach. Caught off guard, he was blocked by Wennington. Lin Tian then accelerated to the vicinity of the free throw line, then suddenly stopped and pulled up for his signature mid-range jump shot!

"Whoosh!"

After a crisp crack, Lin Tian finally hatched!

"Well done, kid, finally broke the deadlock? But how many did I score? 10? Or 9?" Jordan wasn't intimidated by the shot at all, and instead continued to trash talk.

"Only five, you idiot who can't even do addition and subtraction within 10!" Lin Tian wasn't going to put up with Jordan. Taking advantage of the fact that he had just made a basket, he started trash-talking and intensified his defense. Some of his moves even seemed to be fouls.

But Jackson showed no intention of praising him; instead, he allowed Lin Tian to face off against Jordan.

"Bang!"

Jordan's shot finally missed! After missing the shot, Jordan was about to say a few more trash words to Lin Tian, ​​like "You're lucky" or "You won't be so lucky next time," when he suddenly froze and then suddenly sprinted away!

Kukoc finally managed to beat Rodman under the basket, grabbing a rebound, and then he was stunned for a moment.

Lin Tian had already crossed the half-court line, leaving Jordan more than 3 meters behind!

"Tony!"

Lin Tian's shout finally made Kukoc react. He made a long swing, and the basketball flew through the air to the frontcourt. Lin Tian caught the basketball and then accelerated incredibly again!

The distance between him and Jordan increased to more than 5 meters in the blink of an eye!

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Tian completed the fast break and easily scored a layup!

Jackson, sitting in the audience, immediately brightened up!

Jordan knew better than anyone how fast he was!

Of all the 2-3 positions in the entire league, in terms of speed, perhaps only Drexler can compare with Jordan. But the speed that Lin Tian just displayed completely outclassed Jordan, and that would not be an exaggeration at all!

In addition, Lin Tian was almost unconscious just now.

The joy of accident!

An absolute killer weapon for fast-paced offense!

"Old man, go get your leg checked. My grandma is 10 times faster than you!" After scoring, Lin Tian didn't hold back and immediately trash-talked Jordan!

"Fuck, you're asking for it!" Jordan's eyes instantly turned red!

"Michael Jordan's emotions have fluctuated, resulting in a loss of 20 experience points!"

The emotions of the basketball god finally wavered!
