Chapter 16: From being booed all over the place to becoming Chicago’s new favorite in 5 minutes!
"Good pass Lin!" Cole stepped forward and gave Lin Tian a high-five, which was considered an encouragement to Lin Tian.
But the fans don't buy it. You Lin Tian recorded an assist, but 90% of the credit for this assist was due to Cole's accurate shot? If their grandma comes up, she can still pass the ball in place! But the fans' dissatisfaction with Lin Tian ends here!In less than 10 seconds, their eyes widened!
After the Bucks missed a shot, Lin Tian happened to grab the rebound. After grabbing the rebound, Lin Tian did not dribble forward step by step, but turned around to observe the situation on the court, and suddenly made a one-handed pass to the ground. The ball was passed directly to the opposite three-point line!
This ground pass sounds ordinary, but you know, the place where Lin Tian got the ball was near the Bulls' free throw line!
The basketball flew out of his hand, hit the ground near the center circle, bounced back, and then flew into the hands of Buechler, who was about to drop!
Along the way, the basketball passed through the crotch of two Bucks players, like a missile, directly penetrating the entire defense line of the Bucks! As for Lin Tian, he only took a look!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Buechler dunked with both hands, scoring another 2 points for the team! "Beautiful pass Lin!" Buechler excitedly raised a hand and high-fived Lin Tian. He felt that since he and Lin Tian partnered, it became easier and easier to score. As long as he was responsible for running, the basketball could come at any time. Get it in hand and score easily! After this goal, the boos at the scene finally stopped being so loud.
Lin Tian's pass is absolutely amazing!
And Lin Tian's performance has just begun! After one round, the Bucks finally broke the scoring drought with a 3-pointer from John Newman and slightly recovered some points.
But they didn't have time to be happy at all! Kukoc on the baseline once again demonstrated his super talent as the King of Europe. He held a basketball and quickly served, and the basketball flew to Lin Tian's hands near the three-point line in the blink of an eye.
After getting the ball, Lin Tian didn't care about the Bucks' defense at all. His feet suddenly exerted force, and his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning in an instant! Before the entire Bucks defense could react, Lin Tian had already rushed through half the court and reached the Bucks' basket!At this time, let alone the Bucks returning to defense, they had never thought that a little-known rookie whose name had not even been heard before could be so fast!
"Shh!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Tian easily succeeded in a layup!
At this time, the time on the timer has elapsed for less than 5 seconds! It only took Lin Tian less than 3 seconds from receiving the ball at his own 5-point line to succeeding in a layup! This speed, described as lightning fast, is definitely not an exaggeration! And those who are more worthy of the word "speedy" than Lin Tian's speed are undoubtedly the fans in Chicago! After Lin Tian had an assist and a lightning layup, the boos towards him had almost disappeared.
There are even sporadic fans who have begun to cheer for Lin Tian! "Come on, little rookie!"
"I've always been your fan!"
"I remember he graduated from Pennsylvania State University! He is indeed from a famous basketball school! He is so awesome!"
"I've always been a fan of his! Ever since he played at Penn State!"
"I am a Penn State graduate! I have watched many of his games! I have always loved him!"
"Come on, junior! Come on!"
What slightly hindered the speed of the fans' 180-degree turn was the live DJ at the United Center. "Wonderful boy! Let us give our most sincere cheers to our magical boy! Let me introduce our magical rookie to everyone again!"
"From China, 22 years old, 191 cm tall, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, plays point guard, LLL Lin Tian!"
University of Pennsylvania? Not a state university?
Many fans at the scene started chanting "Come on, junior fellow", but under the playful eyes of the fans around them, they silently chose to be quiet.
They were wronged! Who would have thought that a guy from the Ivy League would come to play in the NBA and play so well! What is the difference between this and Clinton living in a ghetto in Washington and being as close to the local blacks as brothers? Lin Tian enjoyed the rapid change in the fans' attitude and the exclusive cheers for him!
No wonder so many people like the scenes of "Don't bully young people who are poor" and the scenes of pretending to be pigs, eating tigers, and getting slapped in the face. Although they are vulgar, they are really fun!
Purely cool!
In the next few minutes, Lin Tian did not suppress his desire to attack and his talent that was about to overflow. After all, he was facing the third lineup of the league's middle and lower-tier teams. Lin Tian's game was called getting what he asked for, easily. Freehand!
After the pick-and-roll, he succeeded directly from mid-range!
After receiving the pass from Kukoc, he quickly went down again and started a fast break! During the transition between offense and defense, he found Buechler who was cutting through the air. He passed the ball behind his back and assisted his teammate to take off and hit the basket! After another set of three consecutive hits, Lin Tian scored 5 points and 6 assists in less than 3 minutes!Although the data looks like that, his offense and passing are all wonderful and amazing! Breakthroughs and fast breaks are fast and ruthless! The passing organization is full of imagination and unconstrained style!
Even though Lin Tian made two consecutive mistakes in the next two rounds because he wanted to pursue the chic passing game, the Chicago fans did not criticize him any more.
Some people even complained that Buechler and Wennington, who caught the ball, were unable to be successful, and they were sorry for Lin Tian's genius passing.
In the last attack of the third quarter, Lin Tian once again held the ball from outside the 3-point line to face Murdoch, who was a head shorter than him. He didn't even think about it, didn't even make a fake move, but just forced it. Quick, kill Murdoch cleanly in one step!
The only thing about Murdoch's body that could keep up with Lin Tian's speed was his hair that fluttered with the gusts of wind caused by the breakthrough!
"Whoa!" After all the way to the basket, Lin Tian faced the Bucks' substitute center and not only forced a layup, but also caused a foul on his opponent!
2+1!
At the last second of the third quarter, Lin Tian made an extremely tough 2+1, once again proving that the team is absolutely right to choose itself! "MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!"
When Lin Tian stood on the free throw line, there were even a few fans who were completely excited and shouted MVP at Lin Tian!
Because it was a preseason game, no one played for too long.
Lin Tian only played less than 5 minutes in the fourth quarter and stopped playing. In the total 10 minutes he played, although he made 3 mistakes, he made 7 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points and had 6 assists, including several wonderful goals! (End of this chapter)
