Chapter 597 A 0-0 Score in Overtime! Agent 0 is still Agent 0
"Gill, my suggestion still stands." Lin Tian continued to stab Arenas in the back as he walked back to the bench.
"Stop fighting, and stop pushing yourself. Admitting defeat isn't that hard, is it? Can't you save some face? Don't you want a big contract anymore?"
Lin Tian's words once again successfully irritated Arenas's pride. During the timeout, he remained silent, completely oblivious to the tactics and precautions the head coach was explaining. He seemed somewhat dazed.
"Jill! Jill! What's wrong?" Eddie Jordan noticed that Arenas was acting strangely and asked with concern.
"It's alright," Arenas suddenly said. "Leave this game to me! Win or lose, I'll take responsibility! Give me the ball for the rest of the game! I'll bring it back!"
"But..." Butler interrupted Eddie Jordan before he could say anything more.
"I'm willing to give everything to Jill! I believe in him!"
"Me too!" Jamison shrugged. "I trust him too!"
"You two..." Arenas opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Eddie Jordan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then, the game is in your hands, Jill! I trust you too! Go! Go and win the game back!"
On the Knicks' side, Don Nelson once again didn't give any instructions, but instead looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Can you handle him?"
"No matter how he plays in overtime, no matter how many shots he takes, no matter what method he chooses, I won't let him score even one more point!" Lin Tian said confidently, "I will destroy this guy!"
"Damn it, you want to slit my throat? I'll show him what it feels like to have your neck snapped!"
"Excellent!" Old Nelson clapped his hands and said, "I think everyone understands Lin's meaning, so the rest of the games are in Lin's hands!"
After saying that, Old Nelson waved his hand, indicating that you guys could go on the field.
The players from both sides have returned to the field!
Although only one minute has passed, the score has already shifted from a tie at the start of overtime to the Wizards trailing by 7 points! Given the current physical condition and form of both teams, the Wizards are in serious trouble!
"Want to keep playing?" Lin Tian found Arenas as soon as he stepped onto the court, continuing to provoke him and force him to keep playing one-on-one: "You don't want a big contract anymore? You don't want any dignity?"
"Shut up!" Arenas shoved Lin Tian roughly, then grabbed the basketball and looked at Lin Tian. He didn't say anything more, but went straight into attack mode!
After a series of dribbling changes of direction, he suddenly accelerates and breaks through, then uses his superior upper body strength to challenge his opponent, then pulls back and steps out of the three-point line before shooting!
This move is Arenas' signature move. In the past, with his powerful upper body strength, this move always gave him a lot of space to shoot, allowing him to score easily!
But when Arenas used it again this time, Lin Tian withstood his force. Instead of retreating to create distance, he stepped forward and stuck to Arenas before he could raise his hand to shoot, completely locking down all of Arenas's shooting space and angle.
Arenas could only control the ball, turn quickly, and then look for help from his teammates.
But with them completely shutting him down, how could Lin Tian possibly give him another chance to pass the ball?
The more aggressive pressing and constant, subtle footwork prevented Arenas from finding any teammates to support him, no matter how hard he tried.
"Beep beep! Traveling violation!"
Then, in his haste, he lost his footing and was called for traveling by the referee!
Since the start of overtime, Arenas has had one shot blocked, one airball, and one traveling violation!
In three rounds, Lin Tian blocked all three of his attacks!
And they were all defended against using the most direct and brutal methods!
"Gil..." After blocking the shot, Lin Tian still looked at Arenas with a smile on his face.
"I said, shut up!" Arenas was clearly completely enraged at this point, roaring furiously, "I know what you're going to say! But I don't want to hear it!"
"I won't admit defeat!"
The saying goes, "The toughest words get the worst beatings."
Amid Arenas's roar, Lin Tian quickly dribbled the ball back to the frontcourt.
This time, he suddenly accelerated again, dribbled forward only one step, then suddenly pulled back the ball and looked up, using a shooting fake to trick Arenas, who was eager to get revenge, into jumping high to block the shot.
But Lin Tian calmly waited for Arenas to jump before leaning against him and flicking his wrist.
"Beep beep!"
"Whoosh!"
Two more perfect sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
Even in Washington, D.C., the referee has no choice but to call the foul on such an obvious play!
2+1!
Lin Tian, who drew a foul from Arenas, successfully earned an extra free throw!
"Ten points, Gil." Lin Tian walked casually to the free-throw line. "Do you want me to waste a little time and give you another ten seconds to think about how to play this possession?"
"Only 24 seconds is too tight for you!"
"I don't need time!" Arenas glared fiercely at Lin Tian, his mindset completely out of balance! The excitement of scoring 5 points in the last minute of the regular season had completely vanished, and his rationality had also disappeared!
"Swish!" A crisp sound rang out quickly as Lin Tian turned around and once again arrived beside Arenas at top speed: "You said there was no need for time, so I shot as soon as I got the ball!"
"Ball!" Arenas ignored Lin Tian and called for the ball from his teammates.
Jamison immediately passed the ball to Arenas, and Lin Tian and Arenas faced off once again!
Lin Tian's defensive skills and intensity remain astonishing! And he becomes increasingly calm as the game progresses!
On the other hand, Arenas was eager to get back at his former self and break the deadlock for his team. His dribbling became erratic, and he couldn't calm down.
In this situation, his dribbling was naturally full of weaknesses!
"Snapped!"
Soon, another muffled thud was heard as Lin Tian slapped Arenas away from his dribble, even though Arenas quickly turned around to try and retrieve the ball.
However, his strength and speed were no match for Lin Tian's. Also, because he turned too quickly and Lin Tian subtly nudged him, Arenas lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
Utterly disheveled!
Lin Tian, on the other hand, took the lead and surged ahead, grabbing the basketball and charging towards the frontcourt.
The photographers under the Wizards' basket immediately started snapping away!
They want to preserve this moment forever!
Arenas lay helplessly on the ground, while Lin Tian dribbled the ball down the court with great confidence.
Another world-famous painting has been created!
"boom!"
Three seconds later, Lin Tian rose again and unleashed a powerful 360-degree two-handed slam dunk, scoring another 2 points for the team!
12: 0!
Now that overtime has gone on, the Knicks have gone on a 12-0 run!
Or rather, Lin Tian beat Arenas 12-0!
A complete and utter crushing defeat!
At that moment, the whole of Washington began to regret it.
If you have nothing better to do, why would you perform that throat-slitting ritual?
Xie Baoqing, why did you have to provoke Li Yunlong for no reason!
"That was brutal!" Barkley exclaimed. "This overtime will probably traumatize Arenas. I've never seen such a complete stomp!"
Kenny added, "It wasn't even due to Arenas's touch or luck; he just couldn't beat them! He was completely outmatched! He was utterly and cleanly crushed and destroyed!"
"After that dunk, I think the outcome of this game is no longer in doubt; the Wizards won't be able to mount any comeback."
"Even though there are still 3 minutes left in the game, I think it's already garbage time!"
Barkley added, "This is the first time in all my years of commentating on garbage time in overtime! I've never seen a game go into garbage time in overtime! It's outrageous!"
"At the same time, he's just too strong! Lin's defensive pressure is terrifying. I can't help but laugh when I think about the faces of those haters when the All-Defensive Team was announced this year."
"With this level of defensive ability, you're saying Lin can't make the All-Defensive Team?"
As the two commentators joked and analyzed, the Wizards lost their ability to resist after this play. From top to bottom, from Arenas to Butler and Jamison, and then to the rest of the team, they all lost the courage and the will to resist.
They gave up the game.
In the following game, Lin Tian did not take any more shots or target Arenas, but even so, the Wizards still could not score.
The Wizards' poor form continued even after Eddie Jordan was replaced by a substitute.
Their substitutes couldn't score either!
Ultimately, when overtime ended, the Knicks scored 16 points in 5 minutes, while the Wizards failed to score a single point!
16: 0!
In overtime, they once again demonstrated their terrifying offensive capabilities, completely overwhelming the Wizards!
Well, or rather, Lin Tian completely crushed Arenas!
His offense, his defense, and his dominance were once again perfectly demonstrated to everyone!
That night, Lin Tian was still the brightest star in the entire league!
Although Arenas scored 20 points in the first quarter, and almost won the game with 5 consecutive points in the final moments of the fourth quarter, and scored a career-high 48 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, he still lost, lost completely and without any chance to fight back!
It wasn't just because he was forced to make missed shots and turnovers by Lin Tian in overtime, but also because for most of the time, whenever he faced Lin Tian, he chose to disappear and create space, and whenever he faced Lin Tian, he chose to calmly pass the ball.
This guy put up perfect stats, but completely lost his one-on-one duel with Lin Tian!
除了阿里纳斯的48分，巴特勒拿下27分3篮板4助攻，贾米森28分8篮板，奇才队的三个火枪手联手拿下了103分！
Unfortunately, they fell short and failed to win this crucial game that would determine the fate of their entire season!
On the other side, Lin Tian of the Knicks delivered another god-like performance tonight! He racked up a super triple-double of 60 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists, and in the final moments of regulation time, he pulled off an unfair call to tie the game and force overtime.
They completely crushed Arenas in overtime, killing the game with a 12-0 run and also killing Arenas!
After the match that night, the post-match news from various reporters and media outlets inevitably focused on the comparison between the two players, or rather, the reports that Lin Tian completely crushed Arenas!
He lost terribly!
Besides Lin Tian, Anthony scored 20 points and Stoudemire added 21 points. The Knicks' Big Three also combined for over 100 points!
That night, the Knicks pushed the Wizards to the brink of defeat in the most thrilling and exhilarating way possible! And they have essentially secured the victory in this series!
They only need one more game to advance.
Anyone who saw the Wizards' performance in the latter part of overtime would be certain of one thing: the Wizards have completely collapsed! Game 4 was just a formality!
"How many points? They shut out Arenas, who was firing on all cylinders, in a one-on-one situation?" In Los Angeles, Kobe, who was preparing for his third game the next day, was somewhat stunned when he heard the team's assistant coach's report.
Because he knew better than anyone how strong Arenas was when he was at full power!
In the same season, during a game where O'Neal was sidelined, Arenas, playing in Los Angeles, exploded for 60 points, outscoring Kobe Bryant's 45 points in a scoring duel, leading his team to victory in overtime and securing a crucial win.
Kobe knew all too well how good Arenas was! This guy was definitely the most underrated top scorer in the league!
"The video! I need the playoff sequence. I want to see how Lin completely shut down Arenas! The sooner the better! If you can get the video by midnight, then give it to me then! Any time is fine!"
"Are you still confident you can stop him?" Hamilton, who was also waiting for his game the next day in Cleveland, couldn't help but ask Billups next to him after watching the live broadcast of the game.
"Still?" Billups chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Have we ever defended against him? Hmm?"
"I'll make it to the Eastern Conference Finals!" Wade, who was lifting weights and watching the game at home, stopped, wiped the sweat from his face, and made up his mind: "I will beat your Lin! I definitely will!"
"Steve, if Lin uses this level of defense against you, do you think you can handle it?" D'Antoni, who had just finished Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, clinked his glass with his star player Nash, who was sitting next to him. The game was also playing in front of them.
"I hope he won't do that to me." Nash shook his head and said, "Honestly, I have no confidence at all. All I can say is, I hope I don't run into them."
Nash smiled wryly as he suddenly thought of his former good partner and buddy.
That long-haired guy, if we were on the same team, maybe the two of us could take them down?
Hmm...maybe.
"Why didn't he pass the ball?" James bit his lip, whether talking to himself or asking his Spurs teammates who were watching the game with him.
"Passing the ball was the right choice, but it's not what Arenas likes," McGrady shrugged. "A scorer has to have his own principles, right? In this situation, I wouldn't pass either."
James smiled and didn't refute McGrady, but in his heart he was thinking: I'll pass the ball to an open teammate, because I'm not a scorer.
"That was a terrible blow from Lin." In an office, Colangelo, the general manager of Team USA, rubbed his eyes with a headache, and then crossed out Gilbert Arenas's name from a list of at least 4 to 50 names.
"I used to have high hopes for him, but after Lin beat him up like this, I really don't dare to use him anymore."
Colangelo's list is filled with the names of today's top and elite players in the league.
At the same time, you can also see the names of young players who are making waves in high school or college, such as LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Durant, Greg Oden, and Brandon Roy.
Needless to say, this is a list of potential members for the US team.
If you look more closely, you'll find that many famous veterans' names have been crossed out by Colangelo, such as O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Rasheed, Iverson, and others.
On the contrary, players like Paul, James, Stoudemire, and Anthony have all remained on the roster.
Colangelo is clearly brewing a brand new plan!
Besides the various people within the alliance, the media and newspapers also started working, publishing news articles one after another.
Everything is going as expected!
This is murder! Lin killed Arenas's soul on the field!
Perhaps the most brutal blowout in history! Lin shuts out Arenas in overtime!
Scoring 48 points and still getting completely outplayed? You won't see another game like this for at least 10 years!
Angels and Demons! He scored 5 points in the final moments, and he also failed to score a single point in overtime!
How much is Arenas really worth? Will his $1 million contract gamble turn him into an epic bad contract?
Who can stop Lin? Detroit may become the last hope for the East!
Three key statistics illustrate just how terrifying Lin was in this game! Of Arenas' 48 points, only 15 came against Lin!
Looking back at Lillard's defensive performance in overtime! Does he not deserve to be on the All-Defensive Team? He should even be named Defensive Player of the Year!
……
Similar reports have appeared one after another. With the increasing development of the Internet, fans no longer have to wait until the next day to see various reports. They can see them at night and comment on them on forums and major websites on the spot.
For Arenas, who is known as the "King of Blogs" and loves writing blogs, with a huge following, this rapid spread of information online is definitely not good news.
Because almost in the blink of an eye, countless fans went to his blog and left all sorts of offensive comments.
The good news is that Arenas is in a terrible state tonight, looking extremely down and depressed.
He wasn't in the mood to read the comments; he went to bed early.
He originally thought he was already very close to Lin Tian.
But after tonight, he realized that there was still an insurmountable chasm between him and Lin Tian. Perhaps he would never be able to cross it in his lifetime, and he would never be able to compare with Lin Tian!
This pessimistic and desperate feeling filled Arenas, making him feel increasingly powerless and in greater pain.
This night was destined to be a painful, sleepless one for him and for Washington. (End of Chapter)
