Chapter 408 The Biggest Point Gap in History is Born! A Crushing Victory Over the Wizards is Just th
Less than 30 seconds after Jordan's coast-to-coast windmill dunk, he once again spun past Stackhouse in the low post, dashing towards the paint. Facing Brown, who was rushing towards him to help defend, Jordan suddenly unleashed all his strength, letting out a roar as he jumped up.
"puff!"
After a muffled thud, Brown was knocked aside by Jordan, who then slammed the ball into the basket with one arm over Brown!
"boom!"
"Playing with me is torture? I personally teaching you offense is a nightmare?" Jordan glared at Brown after scoring and said, "I'll show you that being my enemy is true hell!"
"This is just the beginning, kid. You're doomed!"
Jordan's words startled Brown so much that he stumbled and almost lost his balance. He even forgot to inbound the ball. It was only after Lue called out twice that the guy remembered that the basketball was still in his hands. He mechanically retreated to the three-point line, and thinking about what Jordan had just said, he was really trembling.
This resulted in his baseline serve being weak and powerless.
"Kwame!"
Brown finally reacted when Lu shouted again, but it was too late.
The ball he just passed was easily intercepted by Lin Tian, who then took only one step forward before fiercely pulling up!
Just then, Brown stepped into the paint and stood under the basket.
But he had no time to react defensively, nor could he make any effective defensive moves.
He was standing there when he felt an immense impact, then he lost his balance and fell backward, crashing out of bounds!
"boom!"
Then came another loud bang, and Lin Tian, like a god descending to earth, hung on the rim with both hands and looked at Brown, saying, "I told you, you became the number one draft pick not because you're amazing, but because Michael is blind!"
"If you draft 100 times, you won't be the number one draft pick 99 times. The one time you're drafted, McGrady is the team's general manager!"
What does it mean to speak indirectly or in a sarcastic or mocking way?
Lin Tian's performance was simply textbook-worthy!
He unleashed a torrent of trash talk at Brown, and while the dazed Brown might not have been able to hear much of it, Jordan certainly heard it all perfectly, not missing a single word!
Then?
Then Stackhouse began to experience real hell, how terrifying is a Jordan who is giving his all, furious and in his '98 form?
From the first timeout in the first quarter until the end of the first quarter, Stackhouse went 0-for-5 from the field, scoring no points and committing 3 turnovers!
What's alarming is that Stackhouse wasn't the only Wizards player who failed to score during this phase.
卢2投0中，布朗2投0中，休斯4投0中，莱特纳1投0中。
Not only were the starters unable to score, but substitutes like Dixon and Haywood were also completely unable to score under the crazy momentum of Lin Tian and Jordan!
With two top-tier defensive players of All-Defensive First Team caliber giving their all and engaging in intense, all-out defense, the Wizards simply couldn't find a way to counter them.
Not to mention that they also have Ben Wallace guarding the inside. Even if the Wizards manage to break in a few times, they are all repeatedly shut out by Wallace's giant palm strike!
In the first four minutes of the first quarter, the score was 13-4.
In the last 8 minutes of this quarter, the two sides were completely reversed, with the Pacers going on a crazy 24-0 run!
13: 28!
At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards were already down by 15 points!
What's even more frightening is that the Wizards' mentality was completely shattered in just one quarter!
Stackhouse was pale and panting heavily. He had never even made it past the second round of the playoffs and had spent most of his time playing for lottery teams. He had never experienced the intensity of a Finals game before.
Brown was trembling. He had been dunked on twice by Jordan and Lin Tian in the first quarter, and had been dunked on four times in one quarter. Brown's brain was already lacking oxygen at this point.
Even when the coach was giving instructions, this guy just said, "Coach, I don't want to play anymore."
Don't want to play?
Head coach Collins was looking at Brown like he was looking at an animal.
What kind of coward would someone have to be to be too afraid to play after only one quarter of the game?
You started this whole thing. You bastard, you said bad things about Jordan. You said being around him was like being in hell.
Now, this bastard actually wants to leave his teammates in hell and run away himself?
Don't even think about it!
Forget about not playing, I won't even let you rest!
Collins was angered by Brown and directly called out Brown's name, ordering him to continue playing in the second quarter!
On the Pacers' side, Jordan, who scored 11 points in the first quarter, and Lin Tian, who scored 9 points, did not play. They played the entire first quarter and now need to rest.
Even without these two players, the Pacers' firepower is still incredibly fierce!
Carlisle immediately fielded a five-man lineup consisting of Miller, Christie, Arenas, Ginobili, and Parker!
One big player and four small players, one player grabbing and four players shooting, one player passing and four players attacking.
Call this lineup whatever you want, but it's just as insane as the starting lineup!
Arenas made a three-pointer after a double crossover from beyond the arc!
Miller grabbed the rebound and quickly made a pass, assisting Parker to score a layup on a fast break!
Ginobili emerged from behind Lue's dribble like a ghost, swatted the ball away, and then quickly spun around and drove to the basket. Parker grabbed the ball and made a bounce pass to Ginobili, assisting him for a powerful one-handed dunk!
Thirty seconds later, Ginobili returned the favor, driving into the paint in a very contorted and indescribable posture, and then suddenly making a no-look pass to Parker behind him. Parker caught the ball and immediately floated it in!
9: 0!
Two minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers went on a 9-0 run!
Adding to the 24-0 run in the first quarter, the Pacers' offensive onslaught has reached an astonishing 33-0!
Who just said the Pacers were going to lose tonight?
Anyway, neither Barkley nor Kenny admitted it at the moment. They completely ignored what had just happened and focused on commentating on the game in front of them!
In the next minute, both teams' shooting touch, or rather the Pacers' shooting touch, finally started to slip.
They missed several shots in a row, and the score remained unchanged for the time being.
Then Carlisle immediately waved his hand, sending Lin Tian and Jordan onto the court, while Arenas and Christie went to rest.
The roster is even smaller!
It's gotten even crazier!
Carlisle's stance is very simple: I'm going to beat you to a pulp. If you're so capable, go ahead and score on our heads!
If you're not capable, then be prepared to pay the price for your boss's mistakes!
Back on the court, Lin Tian immediately got into the game. After a screen from Miller at the top of the arc, he drove straight into the paint and jumped over Brown once again.
"boom!"
This time, Lin Tian's dunk was incredibly clean, without even colliding with Brown.
This guy has been completely terrified and doesn't even dare to make a defensive move!
"I thought you could at least last half a game, but one quarter and you're completely terrified?" Lin Tian scoffed disdainfully. "Softie, do you need me to provide you with diapers?"
It turns out that if diapers were to be provided, the entire Wizards team might need them!
In the next possession, Stackhouse finally got past Jordan with a screen and drove into the paint, trying to break the team's scoring drought.
But just as he jumped, before he even got into his shooting stance, a figure blocked his way.
Cover the sky.
This is Stackhouse's truest thought right now.
"Snapped!"
Then came a crisp sound. Lin Tian, as if ruling the world, slammed the basketball directly outside the three-point line with the motion of swatting a fly while still in mid-air.
"Get lost!" Hughes was about to grab the basketball, but Jordan suddenly roared. Hughes was stunned, not to mention grabbing the ball. He watched as Jordan picked up the basketball and started a fast break. He didn't even get back on defense and just watched as Jordan completed a one-handed dunk!
What's even more frightening is that no one, including head coach Collins, criticized Hughes or said he did something wrong.
They were completely stunned by the Pacers' offensive onslaught!
On the next offensive possession, the Wizards still failed to score. Brown's low post move was slapped away by Miller. Lin Tian received the ball and quickly dribbled it to the frontcourt. He then made a fake pass gesture, but instead of passing, he pulled up for a shot!
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian hit another three-pointer!
But his feint to pass the ball was completely unnecessary.
Because there were no Wizards players guarding him, the only person he faked out was Jordan, who was quickly following up and thought Lin Tian was going to pass him the ball for a dunk.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Tian gave a "NO PASS LOOK"!
Jordan was so shaken that he almost fell over.
After Lin Tian hit that three-pointer, Collins finally broke down. He called a timeout, knowing that the game couldn't continue like this, even though he didn't have any solutions, he still had to call a timeout.
If this continues, the Wizards might lose by 100 points tonight!
"Fuck you! What are you doing?" During the timeout, Jordan ran over, cursing, "I almost fell over."
"I thought someone was chasing me," Lin Tian said with a grin. "Who knew I'd bump into you? What a surprise."
"Who would believe you!"
Jordan rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Lin Tian. Lin Tian's lies could no longer fool him.
But how should I put it?
After this barrage of attacks, Jordan was in a much better mood!
I've vented my anger!
But we haven't gotten to the point yet; we still need to keep giving him a good beating!
FUXX!
Saying I'm unimportant? Saying I'm a cancer on the team? Saying I'm too old?
Keep going!
After this timeout, a very interesting scene unfolded during the substitutions for both sides.
The Pacers substituted all their reserves and fielded their full starting lineup.
The Wizards, on the other hand, dropped all their starters and replaced them with a pure bench.
The Pacers want to press their advantage and keep going, while the Wizards want to change their luck and give their key players some psychological counseling.
Otherwise, I might really get beaten into a mental illness!
too exaggerated!
The Wizards' substitutions were effective!
At least as soon as they returned to the court, substitute center Haywood drew a foul from Ben Wallace while fighting for an offensive rebound, successfully getting to the free-throw line.
1 made out of 2 free throws!
The Wizards finally scored!
After scoring 13 points in the first 4 minutes of the first quarter, they went scoreless for more than a quarter!
A 13-minute scoring drought nearly drove the entire Wizards team to despair.
But thankfully, they've finally scored!
Then, in the remainder of the second quarter, they weren't beaten too badly.
Pedestrians need to rest too, don't they?
Lin Tian, Jordan, and these substitutes had no grudges against each other, and didn't even know each other, so their aggressiveness was slightly reduced.
But the so-called reduction in intensity only prevented the Wizards from going on a 13-minute scoring drought.
The gap between the two sides shows no sign of narrowing; in fact, it continues to widen!
By the end of the first half, the score had reached an incredibly high number!
21: 60!
The Wizards are down by 39 points!
If they continue playing at this pace and rhythm, they might actually break their all-time losing record in this game!
With that in mind, Collins emphasized only one thing during halftime.
"Slow down the pace! Control the ball steadily! Avoid mistakes, don't rush the attack! Slow down the pace, calm down, and let time pass quickly!"
"Then, let's try to lose by no more than 40 points!"
Well, the Wizards' last bit of courage right now is to let the team lose by no more than 40 points and stop widening the gap.
Well... he's quite promising!
As for the Pacers, Carlisle's setup was equally simple, even simpler than Collins'.
"Kill them!"
Kill them!
This is the attitude the Pacers showed after the two teams switched sides in the second half!
In the first round, Lin Tian and Jordan even double-teamed Stackhouse!
This caused the guy to make a mistake right at the high post, and then Jordan received the ball and launched another fast break, scoring again with a one-handed dunk!
This one round alone can illustrate everything the Wizards will face in the coming period.
In the first four minutes of the third quarter, it was another 12-3 score.
The Pacers' lead continues to widen rapidly!
Then, Collins finally discovered something!
That is, when the Pacers are playing against their main team, they play with extra effort and seriousness, but when they are playing against their substitutes, the effect seems to be average.
If you think of something, just do it!
Collins made another substitution, bringing on and off five players, taking all of his key players out of the game.
Regardless of the outcome, this gesture at least earned the heartfelt gratitude of Stackhouse and others.
We're liberated!
We are liberated!
too difficult!
The nightmare is finally over!
At least, it's temporarily over!
Although the main players were substituted, the situation on the field remained unchanged.
The Pacers proved with their actions that what looked like a small lead in the second quarter was just a result of them getting tired and taking a break.
We're not tired now, so we don't care if you're a starter or a substitute, we'll beat you to a pulp.
Within 2 minutes, another 9-1 scoring run!
The Pacers are truly determined to beat the Wizards to a pulp tonight!
Collins, sitting on the sidelines, felt numb in his hands and feet. Right now, all he could do was curse his boss Pauline's long-deceased grandmother and mother!
He could only watch as his team was slaughtered!
By the end of the third quarter, the score had become even more exaggerated.
40: 95!
The point difference between the two sides has reached 55 points!
Collins's only thought at that moment was: Stop fighting! Stop!
55 points is quite a lot!
Give us a way out, don't kill us all!
Let your substitutes have some fun!
In response to Collins's silent plea, Carlisle replied: "Received! We're calling it a day for this match!"
At the start of the fourth quarter, none of the four key players – Lin Tian, Jordan, Webber, and Ben Wallace – were on the court.
Replacing them were the perimeter trio of Arenas, Parker, and Ginobili, and the twin towers combination of Jeff Foster and Zahn Tabak.
Especially these two inside players, they are pure benchwarmers. If there are no injuries or other accidents, they only appear during garbage time.
Seeing the Pacers' roster, Collins breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Carlisle was still quite considerate!
He felt that this colleague was a decent person!
Unfortunately, although Carlisle was a decent person and too lazy to really beat people to death, Lin Tian and Jordan were both wicked!
Before Arenas and the others took the court, Lin Tian stopped them: "If we break an NBA record tonight, we'll take you to the best venue in all of Indiana! It'll be a completely new experience you've never seen before!"
"Michael will pay for everything!"
Lin Tian's words ignited the fighting spirit of these people, especially Arenas!
At the start of the fourth quarter, Arenas had only one attitude.
Full power, let's wipe you out!
He immediately hit another signature three-pointer, followed by Parker's sports car breakthrough and Ginobili's serpentine dribble, all of which were displayed on the court for the home fans to see!
Even Tabak and Foster, who are usually benchwarmers, are putting on a good show and making continuous contributions on the field.
The gap between the two sides did not narrow at all due to the departure of the key players; on the contrary, it continued to widen!
With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was 51-111!
The score difference between the two teams has reached 60 points! They are now only 8 points away from setting an NBA record!
Seeing this, Collins gritted his teeth and called a timeout.
Replace him!
Bring on the main players!
In any case, the point difference tonight cannot exceed 68 points!
Even though they were unwilling, even though they were stunned, Collins's rant about honors, being nailed to the pillar of shame, and being the record holder for the biggest point loss in NBA history finally cheered up Stackhouse, Hughes, and the others.
What else can we do? Fight!
Basically, we just need to beat up a bunch of substitutes, and if we don't lose by 8 points in 6 minutes, that's fine. Can we even do that?
"Coach, Lin and Michael are standing up too!" Stackhouse glanced at the scorer's table after standing up, then quickly sat back down. "I don't think we should go on the court and keep provoking them."
"Letting substitutes play as substitutes is a good thing, I have faith in my guys!"
on?
Collins couldn't help but shudder. He glanced back and saw Lin Tian and Jordan each holding a stat sheet that was probably a statistics sheet, before walking back to the bench.
"Cowards! Softies! So what if those two went in?!" Collins yelled as soon as the two men left, "You don't even have the guts? How dare you call yourselves NBA players?"
"Immediately! Right now! Get up there! Reduce the score difference to 50 points!"
Collins was so imposing that anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to let Stackhouse and his team turn the game around!
With the head coach saying so, and the opposing team's key players returning to their seats, Stackhouse and the others didn't say anything more. They stood up, ready to try and turn the game around even a little bit!
In a sense, they're still leading by 8 points, aren't they?
But when the timeout ended, Stackhouse and the others were completely bewildered.
First, Hughes's drive was blocked by Zahn Tabak, a complete substitute. Then Parker dribbled up the court quickly, drove to the basket, and turned around, leaving Lue completely out of reach. Then Parker flicked the ball up for another 2 points!
Then Stackhouse asked for the ball, wanting to redeem himself for the team, but his mid-range jump shot also missed. Not only that, when he turned around to defend Ginobili, Ginobili used a footwork that he couldn't understand at all to fake him out and almost made him stand still!
Kwame Brown, the center, was also completely bewildered by Ginobili's "snake step". He was completely faked out by Ginobili, and not only did he fail to defend the ball, but Ginobili also scored a 2+1!
With Ginobili making the free throw, the Wizards' 8-point lead was reduced to just 3 points in the blink of an eye!
The main players not only failed to turn the tide, but were instead defeated 5-0!
The entire Conceco Arena erupted in cheers and shouts!
"70! 70! 70! 70!"
"For Michael!"
"Dry them to death!"
"Avenge Michael!"
The cheers and shouts of the fans undoubtedly became the best driving force for the players. Although the Wizards finally scored, they were completely unable to stop the Pacers players who were playing with great excitement.
With 2 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game, Arenas received the ball beyond the three-point line, and after his signature crossover step, he pulled up and shot, powerfully throwing down a three-pointer over Hughes!
"Whoosh!"
After a crisp crack, the score difference between the two sides finally exceeded that critical point!
66: 136!
70 points!
The point difference between the two sides has reached 70 points!
"80! 80! 80! 80!"
The fans at the stadium were clearly not satisfied yet; they continued to roar wildly, cheering for their team!
"Hold on! You fucking hold onto this 2-point lead! Otherwise, you can all go home and eat your bananas tonight!" Lin Tian shouted at the court, reminding his teammates to strengthen their defense.
By this point in the game, the Wizards players had lost all their energy and spirit; they barely remembered their all-time biggest point deficits of 68 or 70.
I'm numb, completely numb from being hit!
Fortunately, the Pacers weren't that crazy, and the point difference between the two sides didn't break 80, or even exceed 75 points!
70: 143!
When the final whistle blew, the score difference between the two teams was 73 points!
It surpassed the first massacre in history in 1991, becoming the most brutal massacre and crushing battle in history!
After this game, Jordan fans across the United States breathed a huge sigh of relief! They were ecstatic! The streets of Chicago even saw another wave of crazy marches that night to celebrate the Wizards' loss!
At the same time, this game also became the Pacers' biggest single-game margin of victory in franchise history!
Jordan scored 29 points, Lin Tian 31 points, Webber 15 points, Arenas 20 points, Parker 19 points, and Ginobili 16 points.
With six players scoring in double figures, the Pacers showed everyone what they're here for this season with their performance in their very first game.
We're here to slaughter!
At the same time, what chilled the entire league was not just the massacre of the Wizards in this game.
After all, this is a team that everyone recognizes as a weak and lousy team, so whether you beat them by 20 or 40 points makes no difference.
Well, winning by 70 points is a bit difficult, but they are still a weak team, aren't they?
But at the post-game press conference, when Lin Tian and Jordan came to be interviewed, their reactions really sent shivers down the spines of the entire league.
"I'm here for revenge this year. I haven't forgotten anything that happened last year or in the offseason," Jordan said. "I hope all the teams we face are ready, or rather: get ready to die!"
Compared to Jordan's vulgarity, Lin Tian's expression was more refined.
"We still have three more games to play against the Wizards, don't we? No rush. For them, it's just the beginning of a long night, and dawn is still a long way off!"
Shaking!
The entire population of Washington trembled at those words!
Their target was naturally their boss, Pauline, and Washington once again saw marches and petitions demanding Pauline's dismissal.
To save money and for profit, a boss fired the person who could have helped the team revive, and then refused to renew the contract of a young guard who performed exceptionally well last season, which led to the league's dominant team issuing a kind of assassination order against the team.
Heavily sinful!
In short, for the next few days, and even for the entire season, Polin's life is destined to get worse day by day!
Of course, if we only said these things, it wouldn't be enough to make the entire alliance tremble.
It's only Washington that's shaking.
But when Lin Tian took out a piece of paper and started reading the data at the end of the press conference, some people really couldn't hold back anymore.
"In the 2001-2002 season, a total of 11 perimeter players scored more than 40 points in a single game against the Wizards 14 times. Kobe and Iverson each scored twice, while Pierce, McGrady, Sprewell, Ray Allen, Finley, Francis Peja, and Raheem each scored once."
"We'll see! We're waiting for you to give me another 40+ on the head! Bullying an old man halfway to the grave is no skill at all! Come at me! Come at me this year!"
"Fuck!" Jordan slammed the roll of his stats onto Lin Tian's head. "If you don't say anything, nobody's going to think you're mute!"
Lin Tian shrugged and remained silent, but the reporters below were anything but silent.
Who are they? They deal with technical statistics and numbers every day.
They counted it out immediately; the number Lin Tian had just given didn't match!
Wasn't it supposed to be 11 people and 14 times? They only said 9 people and 11 times!
Where did the other two people and the three times go?
Where have you been?
When a reporter posed this question to Lin Tian, he scratched his head and said with rare embarrassment, "Sorry, I'm the one who bullies the elderly the most. I've never been one to respect the elderly."
「我上个赛季对阵奇才的时候分别拿下了51分11篮板9助攻4抢断2盖帽以及一次44分6篮板14助攻2抢断1盖帽，值得一提的是，这两场比赛我们都赢了超过20分。」
"And what's even more noteworthy is that Michael's total stats in these two games were 41 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals! He was pretty much evenly matched with me!"
"That's enough!" Jordan rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. This kid, is he showing off to me?
What are you bragging about! It wasn't me who defended you!
"Of course, Michael probably thinks I wasn't the one he was guarding last season, so it doesn't have much to do with him. So the last player to score more than 40 points against the Wizards last season was Vince Carter, my good man."
"In the game on February 27th last season, he scored a career-high 56 points, setting a new career record. It's worth mentioning that Michael was matched up against him for the entire game! He was completely dominated! I think this was the most unforgettable first game of Michael's career."
"I didn't want to mention this game, I was worried Michael would be upset. Look, he really is upset, he stood up and walked away! Michael, Michael? Michael! Wait for me! Are you really leaving?"
"Well then, this press conference is now adjourned!"
Seeing Jordan stand up and leave, Lin Tian also stood up. Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned back and said into the microphone, "One last thing worth mentioning is that on the night Vince scored 56 points, I dished out 21 assists, 9 of which were to Vince!"
"No, there's one more thing worth mentioning."
"Everyone should respect the elderly and care for the young. Vince and I set a bad example, so don't follow our example, or the elderly will get angry and just walk away, just like Michael did! Okay, that's all, bye!"
.........
Lin Tian and Jordan's performance at the post-game press conference really changed the atmosphere of the entire league.
Iverson: "Is Lin giving me a stand-up comedy routine at the post-game press conference? Humph, I'm going to crush them!"
Kobe: "McClean + Lin, interesting! Andre, are you confident you can handle both of them?"
"You can choose first, and then I'll take care of the rest!" Kirilenko said expressionlessly, like a cold-blooded killer devoid of emotion.
Malone: "Then together, we'll take down that damn championship!"
Boston.
Walker: "I told you not to listen to that bastard Lin! You insisted on beating Michael, and what happened? You got sold out!"
Pierce: "You're talking nonsense. Don't you want to score high points? You were just having a bad game against the Wizards last season. Otherwise, explain to me how you went 9-for-28 in that game. If you didn't want to score high points, why did you take so many shots?" (End of Chapter)
