Chapter 25 Veterans of the SHOW TIME Era
Lin Ze knew that this guy was the kind of person who would eject someone just because of a smile, and he didn't want to be ejected right after setting a new career high for a quarter.
"Go for it!" Jackson said, then also started coughing violently.
Clearly, the old man was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.
Although he didn't say who would go, Lin Ze immediately understood what he meant.
Because Lin Ze saw Garnett go down, Sanders told Garnett to go down and rest, and to calm down.
So, Lin Ze strode confidently and arrogantly onto the court.
O'Neal was also a troublemaker. As soon as he saw Lin Ze come up, he waved his hand to signal Lin Ze to take the technical free throw.
Lin Ze walked to the free throw line, his eyes fixed on Garnett. Although he kept quiet for fear of being called for a second technical foul for going against the flow, his eyes said a lot.
"Come on, you coward! Why are you running?"
Garnett felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
The last time he felt this frustrated was when he drank too much one night and spent $5000 on an all-nighter, only to be rendered limp the entire time and ridiculed by the girl…
But he was powerless; Sanders held him down and wouldn't let him go on!
The second quarter ended quickly amidst Lin Ze's arrogant smile and Garnett's murderous glare.
In the first half, Lin Ze scored a game-high 21 points, with his efficiency rating at its peak.
Garnett, who was specifically targeted by the Lakers, only scored 6 points on 2-of-9 shooting in the first half. Although he also had 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, making his stats look quite comprehensive, anyone who watched the game knows that he played terribly tonight!
The Lakers led the Timberwolves 60-40 at halftime, a 20-point advantage. If the game continues at this pace in the third quarter, the Timberwolves will suffer a crushing defeat tonight!
The third quarter was basically a repeat of the first quarter. Garnett was still determined to have a good match with Lin Ze, but Lin Ze ignored him. After playing for 3 minutes in the third quarter, Garnett went to rest early again.
After Garnett left, Lin Ze came up again, swaggering around.
However, Lin Ze's shooting touch dipped in this quarter, and with the Timberwolves intentionally tightening their defense, even though he played off-peak, he only managed 8 points and his efficiency wasn't very high. Fortunately, he grabbed a few rebounds in this quarter, which made his overall stats still quite impressive.
Garnett also showed signs of recovery in this quarter, scoring 7 points and successfully helping the team narrow the gap to 13 points, preventing the fourth quarter from becoming garbage time!
In the fourth quarter, Lin Ze sat on the bench to rest again at the beginning of the game, but this time, when Green was about to go up, Lin Ze called out to him.
"AC, remember your promise!"
"Got it." Green shrugged; he was another of Lin Ze's backup plans.
Although Green is a puritan, doesn't drink or have relationships with women, and is still a virgin even as he approaches retirement, he is a really good guy and has a great relationship with everyone on the team.
Although he's a nice guy, he's been playing in the league since the 80s, and has faced off against infamous teams like the Detroit Pistons, the Indiana Barbarians, the Charlotte Thugs, the New York mob, the Miami scum, and the Salt Lake City filthy gang countless times.
There are some tricks he doesn't like to use, but he knows them!
What Lin Ze asked Green to do was to be a little wicked and bring out all those things that aren't usually used, like things for poking eyes, anal penetration, and kidney stabbing.
Enrage Garnett!
What will Garnett do after he gets angry?
Of course, it should be left to Lin Ze!
Off-peak travel is something we can try during the first three holidays!
But in the fourth quarter, there's no choice; it's a real battle, a head-to-head fight!
In times like these, the brave prevail when paths cross!
Everything Lin Ze did in the first three quarters and before the game was to build up his advantage and narrow the gap between himself and Garnett.
His goal was to take advantage of Garnett's mental breakdown and frustration in the fourth quarter to truly suppress him!
Garnett was on the court for the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, and he was clearly going to play the entire fourth quarter.
But in those four minutes, he truly felt the care and attention from his senior.
Green took out his usual little gadgets and started hitting Garnett relentlessly.
When the game went into a break and both sides made substitutions again, Garnett was even a little dazed when he saw Lin Ze walk onto the court.
"Get that old man up here! Let's see if I can kill him!"
"Huh?" Lin Ze couldn't help but turn around and look at Green. What kind of tricks did this guy use on Garnett?
Did it just take away all the hatred I'd accumulated all night?
It's time to work overtime, bro!
Fortunately, Lin Ze knew how to be sarcastic: "So you're scared, you sissy? You ran all night, too afraid to face me, and now that I've finally caught you, your first reaction is to run away? Coward!"
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
Lin Ze's act of falsely accusing him made Garnett gasp, then he glared at Lin Ze and said, "Just you wait!"
The game continues!
91: 82!
The Timberwolves are now only 9 points behind the Lakers.
加内特在第四节前几分钟拿到了4次罚球且全部命中，他现在的数据已经是17投5中，罚球11罚7中，拿到17分13篮板5助攻3抢断2盖帽，但也有4次失误。
His all-around abilities were not diminished by Lin Ze's provocation.
至于林泽，他现在17投11中，3分球7投4中，罚球3罚全中，拿下29分9篮板2助攻2抢断！
While he wasn't as well-rounded as Garnett, his efficiency completely outclassed Garnett!
"Shoot, you trash!" On the first possession back on the court, Lin Ze gave Garnett half a step of space as soon as he got the ball and started taunting him: "Do I have to ask you to shoot before you dare to take a shot?"
Lin Ze believed that Garnett would miss! His shooting touch tonight had dropped to a rather poor level due to his mentality.
Garnett couldn't tolerate such provocation.
He immediately raised the ball, looked at the basket, and threw it towards the hoop.
*Bang!*
His signature jump shot, and it's still off!
After missing that shot, which had almost no interference, Lin Ze knew that tonight was in the bag!
Garnett is finished!
"I gave you a chance and you still failed, you piece of trash!" Lin Ze berated Garnett, becoming increasingly smug. "Even if you scored just one, how many goals did you score against me tonight? Let me think? It wasn't a damn zero, was it? Are you using this method to confess to your boyfriend that you're a zero?"
While mocking, Lin Ze also took advantage of the referee's inability to see, crossing his hands together and making a very subtle and lewd gesture.
Lin Ze has never felt guilty about criticizing bastards like Garnett!
