Chapter 46: Payton's Signature Skill!
Chapter 46: Payton's Signature Skill!
What do you mean by "unless he can't hold back"? Does it mean I should be more careful during training, or he's going to beat me up?
Jordan looked at Lin Tian and said, "You think I'll be afraid of you just because you beat three weaklings? Let me tell you, if you were my opponent, you'd be the one falling! I can take you down in 20 seconds at most! You can't scare me!"
What is that?
Lin Tian pursed his lips. He didn't expect Jordan to suddenly say such a thing. Originally, Lin Tian wanted to say a few more words, but the referee had already blown the whistle!
The referee was urging Lin Tian to leave the court as soon as possible so as not to disrupt the game. At the same time, they were waiting for Jordan to return to the court so that the game could continue.
Lin Tian chuckled and patted Jordan on the shoulder again, saying, "The rest of the game is yours! I think you can score 50 points tonight! At least 50! Good luck, Michael, I'll be waiting in the locker room to celebrate with you!"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, ignoring Jordan's strange expression again, he walked back into the player tunnel amidst the cheers of the entire stadium!
Jordan had Nick Young's signature expression on his face at that moment.
"What the hell? This kid is cheering me on like this? What gives him the right?!" Jordan almost wanted to rush into the player tunnel and ask Lin Tian why he was encouraging him to play well.
Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle again, urging Jordan to get back on the court.
The three Supersonics players who had been beaten up also stood up one after another.
Lin Tian hit hard just now, but he still held back a bit. Otherwise, these three guys would have been lying there until tomorrow morning before they could even get up on their own!
It wasn't a blood feud, so there was no need to beat someone to death.
The unexpected incident on the field has now been completely resolved, and all the players, regardless of whether they have calmed down or not, must now prepare to continue the game.
As for Lin Tian, he had already returned to the locker room and opened his system once again!
Lin Tian didn't fight for nothing!
Just as he began to take action, the system issued a series of notification sounds!
"Sean Kemp's mood fluctuates, dropping the item: Thick Fat (3 pieces)."
"Excess fat: It can replenish 30% of physical strength after use, but after each use, you will gain 1KG of fat the next day, and your feel, speed, and jumping ability will decline by 5% within a week!"
Good grief, this is a supply of 1000, but 800 are wasted?
"Irwin Jensen's emotions have fluctuated, resulting in a loss of 100 experience points!"
"Schramf's emotions fluctuated, and he dropped a one-time skill trial card: German Giant Cannon (3 minutes)."
"The German Giant Cannon: Gaining Schramf's ability to score 3 points!"
As expected, more things fall when you actually do it!
Lin Tian looked at the things that the two people dropped, and they were indeed completely different from the things he had obtained through pure talk in the past!
Even Schramf, who didn't participate in the fight, was emotionally affected and dropped a one-time skill trial card!
In addition, Perkins, Hawkins, and others also lost a lot of experience points!
Lin Tian has definitely made a fortune from this!
The biggest surprise, however, came from Gary Payton!
Gary Payton's emotions fluctuated, and he lost the permanent skill: "Glove Steal LV1 (0/1500)".
"Glove Steal LV1: Increases the host's steal ability by 7%!"
"Good heavens!"
Lin Tian thought to himself, "I'm really lucky!"
With just two casual punches, he won a big prize. Why is the famous Payton remembered in history and feared by countless people? His success relied on two things!
He's foul-mouthed, but plays tough on defense!
Now, Lin Tianxue doesn't even need to learn how to be foul-mouthed; his mouth is already so foul that it can even anger Payton. All that's left is Payton's defense!
What Lin Tian acquired was precisely the skill that Payton used to become the best defensive player and was selected to the All-Defensive Team nine times: steal!
And that's not even the full extent of Payton's defensive abilities; that's just his steals!
Including the previous "Intercepting Hand", Lin Tian now has two steal-related skills!
Unfortunately, Lin Tian's stealing ability did not upgrade to A+ level due to the new '7%' increase. It seems that he will have to wait until he upgrades the skill to LV2 at the very least to reach that level!
Lin Tian was already planning in his mind what skills he should upgrade after accumulating enough experience. Should he focus on stealing? In the NBA, having one specialty is far more useful than being an all-rounder!
After all, if someone is not good at everything, they can easily become "not good at anything"!
If a player can master a single skill to the extreme, even if they have significant weaknesses in other areas, it can still allow them to survive in the league for a long time!
Not to mention Lin Tian's current style of play, which excels in fast breaks and transitions between offense and defense.
If you add the league's top-tier stealing ability, that would be a huge boost!
However, since Lin Tian only has a little over two hundred experience points left, thinking about those things is still a long way off. Instead of letting his mind wander, he should focus on the present moment!
Lin Tian returned to the locker room alone, feeling quite relaxed and not taking the fight to heart at all.
He took off his shoes, turned on the TV, and started watching the game on the screen.
After he left the court, the Bulls' momentum soared!
Jordan, especially, who was holding his breath, continued his almost frenzied state from the first quarter!
From Jordan's perspective, Lin Tian actually dared to threaten him!
Jordan was going to show the people of Seattle what happens if they angered him!
Hmm... Don't ask why Lin Tian threatened Jordan, but Jordan took his anger out on the Seattle SuperSonics.
The problem is that they think Seattle is easy to bully!
In the latter part of the second quarter, the SuperSonics players, having been beaten, seemed like wilted eggplants, listless and unable to play with any matching intensity.
Jordan easily scored 10 points in half a quarter, bringing his first half total to over 30 points!
Under his leadership, the Bulls once again widened the score gap!
At the end of the first half, the score was 55-40!
The Bulls are leading by 15 points!
In the second half, Jordan became even more arrogant, trash-talking the SuperSonics' bench as both teams entered the court!
"Three minutes! In three minutes, you can prepare to go home! Because I'm going to completely crush you!"
In Jordan's view, this trash talk should have carried a lot of weight and been very damaging.
But to everyone's surprise, the entire SuperSonics team remained unmoved and completely unaffected!
Or rather, their morale had long been shattered by Lin Tian's punches, and Lin Tian had also destroyed all their courage and the desire to continue playing well tonight!
