Chapter 65: You're Given Unlimited Firepower!
Fortunately, the situation had stabilized by then, and the Bulls' team doctor quickly went to check Jordan's injury!
A few minutes later, under the watchful eyes of all the Chicago fans, the team doctor slowly stood up and looked at Jackson, saying, "It shouldn't be a big problem. There's no structural damage; it's most likely just a minor injury. But to be on the safe side, we still advise Michael not to play the second half of this game."
"We hope he can go to the hospital immediately for further examination to make sure he's really okay."
Jackson nodded without hesitation and told the team doctors to take Jordan away immediately!
For Jackson, the greatest record in history, the curse of 10 consecutive wins, and the desire to teach the Jazz a lesson are all unimportant!
His only goal this season is the championship!
And the team's leader, Jordan, absolutely cannot get injured at this time! He must stay healthy! So, it's not that he can't play with a minor injury, but it absolutely cannot be done during the regular season.
Even though Jordan was yelling that he could still play and that he could still go on the court, the team doctor and Jackson completely ignored him and dragged him off the court in a way that was almost like dragging him.
Around the same time, the referees also gave their rulings.
Rodman, the first to throw a punch, was ejected from the game. Pippen, Kukoc, Bennot, and others also received technical fouls. Stockton, on the other hand, was tripped before even getting into the fray and didn't receive a single technical foul.
These rulings were actually not that problematic.
In contrast, the home fans were more worried about Jordan's injury.
But the referee's next call completely blew up the United Center!
Malone only received one flagrant foul, and was neither ejected nor fouled out!
He used his elbows on Jordan and fought with Rodman, yet he wasn't even ejected from the game.
The fans at the stadium couldn't stand it!
A deafening chorus of boos and shouts of dissatisfaction with the referee surged onto the field!
The various foul curses and profanities continued for several minutes!
But clearly, no matter how much the fans complain, the referees won't change their calls, and Malone and Stockton will continue to play!
On the other hand, the Bulls lost two of their key players, Rodman and Jordan, after just one conflict!
The Bulls are in trouble!
This is the first thought of everyone watching this game!
"Lin, go ahead, remember what I told you." Jackson said calmly, as if his team wasn't in trouble at all, "Unlimited shooting rights, shoot however you want! Go."
Lin Tian rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and stood up.
He walked onto the court with Kukoc, Pippen, Longley, and Cole.
With 3 minutes and 40 seconds left in the first half, the score became 50-42 after a series of technical free throws!
The Bulls still lead by 8 points, and they have possession of the ball in the first wave!
"Kid, so it's your turn to get beaten up? I thought you were pretty tough, why didn't you dare come up earlier? Or did that scene scare you so much you peed your pants? Were you wearing a diaper? Is it soaked through? Huh?" Stockton started trash-talking Lin Tian before the game even started!
After destroying two of the Bulls' "Big Three," Stockton unleashed his full verbal barrage! He wanted to completely shatter the Bulls' mentality!
At the same time, Malone clapped his hands loudly and said, "Get your act together! Defend this ball, don't be as soft as those Chicago girls! We need to take the lead before the end of the first half!"
"Old dog." Lin Tian elbowed Stockton aside, creating space for himself to receive the ball, and said, "Have you even looked at my scouting report? Do you know how fast I am?"
After saying this, Lin Tian suddenly accelerated his dribbling, and in an instant, he transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, flashing past Stockton!
How to describe Stockton's physical attributes? You might say he's physically weak, but he's an incredibly hard-working player. In his 19-year career, he played every game in 17 seasons, missing only 22 games in two seasons!
This was a long career of 19 years. Even in Stockton's last season, the 02-03 season, Stockton, who was already 40 years old, still played all 82 games!
This person's physical endurance is absolutely top-tier.
But if you say he has good physical qualities? Speed, jumping ability, strength, flexibility... everything you can think of that represents physical qualities, he is mediocre, as if he has put all his talent points into endurance.
At this moment, the entire defense wanted to give Lin Tian a good beating, only to find to their surprise that Lin Tian not only passed them in one step, but also couldn't catch up with them!
Yes, even without dribbling, he couldn't catch up with Lin Tian when he was dribbling!
Seeing that Stockton couldn't catch up with him at all, Lin Tian wasn't about to give him a chance to get back into a defensive position. After sprinting all the way to the Jazz's three-point line, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and raised his hand, as if to call for a play. Then, just when everyone on the Jazz relaxed their vigilance a little and thought he was going to slow down the pace, Lin Tian accelerated again!
"Whoosh!"
Stockton, who had finally reached Lin Tian's side, heard another whooshing sound in his ear, and then Lin Tian disappeared again!
He was once again easily bypassed by Lin Tian!
The Jazz players never expected Lin Tian to be so fast, and they never imagined that Stockton's proud defense would be so easily bypassed by Lin Tian in one step twice in a row!
Lin Tian drove straight to the basket, facing Ma Long, who came to help defend, his face full of fierceness and provocation, without the slightest fear!
What's the point of not facing challenges head-on?
Lin Tian forcefully launched himself into the air and crashed into Ma Long! Then, with Ma Long's thick arm in his arms, Lin Tian magically flicked the basketball from his fingertips, just barely dodging Ma Long's blocking arm!
"Whoosh!"
"Beep beep! Karl Malone, foul! 2 points awarded, plus one free throw!"
The referee immediately blew his whistle, fearing that another conflict might break out between the two sides!
There have been enough people leaving the stadium tonight; there is no need for any further casualties!
Their year-end bonuses and performance bonuses couldn't withstand any more layoffs, but clearly, Lin Tian didn't care much about whether the referees would get their year-end bonuses!
