Continue to Run Wild, with 38 Points in a Single Quarter, There Is No Need to Defend in Such a Game!
On the basketball court, nothing else matters—strength is everything!
The best way to face an opponent's provocation is to break the doubt with action.
Come on, who's afraid of who?
The Suns regrouped and started the next round of offense.
Jason Kidd's control of the rhythm was flawless; "juvenile and mature" is the best interpretation of him.
As he dribbled the ball forward, he always kept an eye on his teammates' positions.
The legendary career of "Kidd the distributor" began to take shape from this summer league game!
When Kidd looked around, Allen Iverson's eyes were fixed on him.
On the court, there must be no slack whatsoever.
Kidd's all-encompassing command made his teammates move more smoothly, but it also made the basketball in his hands more vulnerable!
Iverson, seeing an opportunity, lowered his center of gravity and prepared to make a gamble steal.
Moving like a rabbit, he instantly lunged at the basketball in Kidd's hands.
"Whoosh!"
The scene was a bit unreal!
But the imagined steal did not happen.
Although Kidd had been watching his teammates, he never let up on protecting the ball.
As a point guard, he knew his job.
This kind of low-level mistake might be okay for a rookie, but Kidd had been in the league for two years—such a mistake was impossible!
Even if he was facing Allen Iverson!
With a dexterous back turn, Kidd smartly escaped Iverson's fatal blow.
Then, planting his feet firmly, he raised the basketball above his head with both hands, followed by a smashing dunk, transporting the ball inside.
"Boom!"
Lin Tianhui, who had just run out of position, finished with a powerful dunk when he caught the pass!
"Boom!"
Damn, that was satisfying!
This dunk felt incredibly good.
It didn't require much skill at all, just a simple baseline movement to bypass his defender, and Kidd's pass had come!
One thing to say, this passing level is absolutely masterful!
Playing with such teammates, if you run actively, you'll really score so much that you'll get cramps!
"Nice pass, I love this guy!"
Shaquille O'Neal was really inexplicably sad at this moment.
He had just watched Lin Tianhui's stable shooting from the outside, and now he experienced Kidd's precise guidance. The attacking style of these two was exactly what he desired the most!
It's a pity that this is just someone else's teammate after all—it's Barkley's teammate on the Suns...
"Grandma, I want to go to the Suns!"
In the course of history, O'Neal has made many amazing remarks.
And the most interesting one was after a game with the Bulls, when he said, "My grandma and Jordan can win 6 championships on the same team!"
At this moment, he seemed to have found the secret weapon to defeat the Bulls and Jordan—joining the Suns!
Of course, this can only be a joke.
With the current salary cap of the Suns, they couldn't satisfy O'Neal's demands!
"I can't wait to start the new season, it's going to be a crazy season!"
Charles Barkley was also getting more and more excited.
Such a pass master is really what every inside player desires the most!
In this era, hand-to-hand combat had become commonplace.
After every game, if you weren't feeling exhausted, you weren't really playing!
So in this case, the inside players had it very hard.
They needed to take the initiative to lock positions, attack with the ball, and deal with all possible troubles.
If there was a pass master like Kidd who could feed the ball at the right time, it would be a dream come true!
And now, Barkley could hope to enjoy such treatment, which made it hard for him to control his emotions!
"I don't know what kind of response Iverson will give this time."
In addition to their emotions, the two still had more expectations for the next game.
Great opponents make great games.
Today's Lin Tianhui and Kidd were playing dazzlingly, but Iverson of the 76ers was equally good.
His offensive efficiency had kept the 76ers close in score, and judging by the state of the game, this form would continue!
Iverson didn't dwell on the last steal.
This was his way of playing, and only by gambling could there be infinite possibilities!
He attacked with the ball again and launched an attack inside.
Kidd, who could control the offense, struggled a bit in defense.
Iverson's speed and technical means made him feel the pressure of the NBA's top stars.
On offense alone, Iverson was indeed a formidable opponent.
Another afterimage skipped, and Iverson easily broke through Kidd's defense and went straight to the inside.
Holding the ball with one hand, Iverson stretched his body. At only 1.83 meters tall, he aimed to end the attack with a slam dunk!
"Crack!"
It's a pity he couldn't dunk the ball into the basket that was so close at hand!
"Lin blocked Iverson's dunk; he blocked Allen's offense in an incredible way!"
"This is a beautiful block. From beginning to end, Lin only touched the basketball. He is like a warrior, guarding his glory with his life!"
"What should I say at this moment? I think I really need to organize my words well. Lin is really a desperate guy; he always affects the progress of the game on both ends of the court!"
O'Neal and Barkley are famous for their commentary!
But at this moment, the two were at a loss for words.
It seemed that all words were insignificant when describing Lin Tianhui at this time.
All I can say is, this shot was amazing!
Explosively impressive!
"Without Camby's penalty area, you still have no points!"
Lin Tianhui, who completed the block, finally responded positively to Iverson's taunt!
It's still the same principle: speak with strength; everything else is nonsense!
"By the way, please open your eyes next, and welcome to my scoring show!"
After responding to the ridicule, Lin Tianhui didn't forget to add some flair!
Since it's a competition, it's normal to have a back-and-forth!
In line with the principle of reciprocation, Lin Tianhui naturally had to give Iverson a taste of his own medicine!
Iverson didn't speak. This time he was blocked; his opponent was simple and efficient. He had nothing to say!
Like Lin Tianhui, he was more accustomed to responding with actions!
In the remaining 5 seconds of offensive time, the 76ers did not seize the opportunity. With the shooting guard's hasty shot, the ball was returned to the Suns.
"Shh!"
After taking the ball, Kidd, who was the first to play the ball, found Lin Tianhui again in perfect sync.
The latter made an easy shot from outside the three-point line, and the basketball entered the net!
"It's starting, it's starting, Lin's three-point rain is already on its way!"
"I don't know how many points he'll score in this game, but to be honest, I'm really looking forward to another 80!"
Shaquille O'Neal and "Flying Pig" Charles Barkley were getting more and more excited.
No matter what level of competition, continuous scoring will always inadvertently stir everyone's enthusiasm.
Now, Lin Tianhui's three-pointer had ignited their inner frenzy, and they were ready to cheer wildly.
The 76ers attacked. Iverson did not challenge the penalty area again this time, and a mid-range step within the three-point line finally stabilized the situation.
But before they had time to celebrate, Kidd started to push the next attack with Lin Tianhui.
Kidd ran wildly all the way to the basket.
The 76ers were forced to defend and respond to his rhythm.
But Kidd's attack was a feint, a real pass.
In the situation of already having a layup, he still chose to pass the ball.
With a beautiful look-back at the last moment, Kidd once again found Lin Tianhui, who was ambushed on the baseline.
It's an unreasonable three-point shot, and it's a pass that breaks the heart!
And such a scene was constantly repeated in the next 8 minutes.
What was even more hopeless than the last game was that Lin Tianhui rarely attacked with the ball.
Most of his points came from Kidd's passing.
This off-ball attack, on the one hand, preserved his physical fitness, and on the other hand, made the defenders more headache-prone, because they had no idea when he would attack!
In the first quarter, Lin Tianhui scored 38 points alone, and Kidd also delivered an unreasonable 11 assists!
The cooperation between the two was as good as designed, with no loopholes at all!
"Ugh!"
In the audience on the sidelines, everyone was speechless with excitement.
This extreme offensive experience was really eye-catching.
Only you can't think of it; they can do it!
Under the leadership of Lin Tianhui and Kidd, the Suns led the 76ers by 15 points in the first quarter!
It can be said that from the first quarter of this game, there was no suspense!
This time, Iverson had different teammates, and their overall strength was even better.
But this still couldn't change the fate of being dominated by Lin Tianhui.
In the battle between the two, Iverson scored 25 points in the first quarter, which was really good.
It's a pity that such a score was not worth mentioning in front of Lin Tianhui!
"The Suns' offense was so fluid, it looked like an All-Star game, it was so easy to score!"
O'Neal couldn't help shaking his head; he
was really envious, jealous, and full of hate!
As the same inside player, why didn't he have the same treatment as Barkley?
If he had Kidd and Lin Tianhui by his side, he could guarantee that he would have a good time with Jordan's Bulls!
No comparison, no harm...
It seems that the Magic team really couldn't be his place; maybe leaving was his best choice!
Although the Lakers had given him a sincere offer, in his heart, he was still eager to stay with the Magic.
As long as Orlando was willing to match the Lakers' offer, he would definitely decide to stay without hesitation.
But today, after seeing Lin Tianhui and Kidd, he knew exactly what he needed!
What he needed was a team that could make him better and bring him closer to the championship, followed by cold hard cash!
From this point of view, Jerry West thought the same way as he did, and the Lakers really seemed to be his best bet!
Maybe Lin Tianhui and Kidd did not expect that the two of them would also affect the future pattern of the league!
Although even without this game, the Shark's departure from the Magic had basically become a fact.
But today's game definitely made his inner thoughts firmer!
Sometimes, having good teammates is really more important than anything else!
In the second quarter, Lin Tianhui threw all his energy into the attack and turned on the infinite firepower mode again!
As for the defensive end, he started to play paddling with everyone!
After all, it is a summer league game, so there is no need to be too serious.
And with such a strong attack as a guarantee, even if the opponent could always score, it was impossible to catch up.
There was no suspense about the victory; what was the point of defense!
Just attack!
Kidd also played completely today.
Today, he felt like he got Jordan's teammate experience card.
As long as he dared to pass, Lin Tianhui really dared to make the shot!
With everyone paddling together on the defensive end, they had plenty of energy, and wonderful cooperation followed!
By the end of the half, Lin Tianhui had already scored 78 points, just 4 points away from 82!
And Kidd had already delivered his 17th assist.
If the 76ers hadn't started the infinite foul tactics in the second quarter, his assists would definitely not just be 17 times!
"Damn it, the Raptors aren't the worst!"
The current 76ers head coach wore an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
Before the game started, he couldn't help but tease the Raptors, who had just been blown out.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they became the object of torture.
And from the perspective of the game's progress, this game was even more extreme than the last game. Lin scored 78 points in the half-time. This is crazy; couldn't he score over 100 in the whole game?
Let's just say it's a summer league, but when did scoring become so easy?
Moreover, now a very helpless question has been raised again.
In the original draft, why didn't the 76ers select Lin Tianhui?
