Find the area of ​​Butler's shadow at this time.

He is now an All-Star player and dares to challenge Durant.

But as Lin Ying's former younger brother, he always looked down before Lin Ying, the elder brother.

This is also the reason why Lin Ying was able to scold him with just one sentence when he lost control of his emotions earlier.

So after Lin Ying said this, he instinctively felt a little scared.

That is both a suppression of ability and a psychological shock.

The reason why the younger brother is the younger brother is because he is not as good as the elder brother!

Fortunately, the ball hasn't been served yet, so there is still time for him to adjust his mood.

After secretly strengthening himself, he mustered up the courage to meet Lin Ying's gaze.

"beep!"

The courtside whistle blows and the game continues!

Lin Ying started, and Jokic set up a pick-and-roll.

Using the pick-and-roll, Lin Ying caught the ball and jumped up directly.

Horford raised his hands in the air, and it was easy for him to get fouled when he took off.

With Lin Ying's psychological quality, giving him three free throws is just a bonus.

It's just that such interference is almost non-existent to Lin Ying.

Then, something unexpected happened again.

Butler actually bypassed Jokic's pick-and-roll!

It's not that Jokic let off steam, but that Butler had a very beautiful dodge.

So when Lin Ying jumped up, Butler hit the horse and then jumped up hard to interfere.

He couldn't be more perfect.

But when it comes to pick-and-rolls, no one can avoid the time difference. He is still one step behind Lin Ying.

Just this step has made it difficult for him to cause real interference to Lin Ying's shooting.

Moreover, some aspects of basketball talent can be made up through hard work, but some aspects cannot, such as wingspan.

Butler's short hands seemed very weak at this time.

In the eyes of the fans, Lin Ying did not choose to pass the ball at the last moment, but faced Horford and Butler's attack.

Everyone present held their breath.

In the last game, Lin Ying defeated the Lakers with a three-pointer.

Will the same thing happen again in this scene?

Jordan unconsciously held Bird's shoulders. For some reason, the scene where he and Lin Ying had communicated more than once popped up in his mind.

"Is it difficult to win?"

"Well, it's not difficult."

Bird also secretly clenched his fists at this time.

Not only because it was Lin Ying who made the move, but also because of what Jordan said before.

Of course, luckily he didn't hear what Lin Ying and Butler were saying, otherwise he would have jumped up on the spot.

As the league's recognized "King of Intimidation", the biggest act of intimidation he ever pretended to be was what Lin Ying is doing now.

After the basketball passed the highest point, it began to fall, and the fans' eyes widened.

This goal looks like it's going to go in.

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound of connecting to the network.

The fans at the scene were stunned for a moment.

Lin Ying, completed the killing blow!

And, it’s the second game in a row!

"It hurts, it hurts! It hurts!"

Bird winced in pain.

Jordan's hand pressed hard on his shoulder.

Hearing Bird's voice, Jordan realized that he had lost his temper.

He took his hands off Bird's body, stood up and left the arena without saying a word.

Bird shook his head, hesitated for a moment but still didn't follow.

Tonight's loss was very demoralizing for the Hornets, and it was necessary for him to stay and boost morale.

On the court, the Nets players have already begun to celebrate.

After Lin Ying celebrated, he also walked up to Durant and patted the latter's shoulder.

"We are the ones who win in the end."

Durant nodded, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards the Hornets' half.

Over there, Bird went down to the court and was talking to the Hornets players. It didn't take much guessing to know that he was trying to boost morale.

This also explains why the Hornets have been able to maintain high morale this season.

If you have a big boss who tells you the direction to go and what to do, you will naturally win if you have a clear goal.

A counterexample is like when Jordan "coached" North Carolina.

What you think is metaphysics is actually the inevitable result of a lot of details.

Bird is indeed telling the team some details and words of encouragement.

But he soon discovered that Butler, who was originally the team's best spiritual player, now seemed to be a little depressed.

This is very abnormal.

Although being killed should make people depressed, with Butler's character, it won't be like this.

When the players dispersed to return to the locker room, Bird left Butler alone.

"Why, are you a little bit shocked?"

Bird asked in a relaxed tone.

Butler is a little bit shocked now. His relaxed way of speaking can make Butler feel more relaxed.

Butler nodded.

Anyone who has experienced the situation just now will not be able to recover quickly.

"Mr. Bird, I want to know how you felt after Xavier McDaniel made that game-winning shot?"

Xavier McDaniel has averaged 20 points per game for 5 seasons in his NBA career and is considered the number one figure in NBA history.

Of course, as a player in the 1980s and 1990s, his name is not remembered by fans because of his strength.

What really makes him remembered is the shot he scored against Bird.

That's right, it was after Bird said to him, "I will kill you right there."

Bird is so smart. After Butler asked this question, he guessed what happened and understood why Butler was so injured.

Because after he did that to McDaniel, it took the latter a long time to come out of the shadows!

"This bastard!"

The relaxed expression on his face disappeared instantly, and then he cursed.

The one he scolded was naturally Lin Ying.

Because he knew that this matter would definitely be known by the media.

Just like Durant initially mentioned the conflict between Green and James, after this was amplified by the media, it would be a big blow to not only Butler but also the Hornets.

Don't ask him why he knew it, because the Sonics team he defeated in the first place also struggled for a long time.

But after he finished scolding, Bird looked helpless again.

This is a turn of events. What he did to others back then is now his turn to experience it himself?

"Jimmy, don't mess with that guy."

Bird then spoke.

He was scolding people very hard just now, but one thing he couldn't change was that he was now a manager. He could do many things, but he couldn't play games.

He became the "pressing king" back then because he had absolute confidence in himself, but he didn't have that kind of confidence in Butler.
