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.

So the best option is to hide.

If Lin Ying really likes to show off, others will suffer.

After all, the prerequisite for showing off is to be strong enough.

Lin Ying has exactly this.

Butler was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that this was what Bird would say.

The previous sentence of swearing is more in line with Bird's character.

But he nodded in the end because he was also very aware of the strength of his former eldest brother.

Look at James being beaten all over the world, look at Anthony being beaten like this, you will know how miserable the consequences will be if you have a grudge against Lin Ying.

It's a pity that Lin Ying is not around at the moment, otherwise he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard these words.

A "powerful king" and a "thief with a lot of strength", when these two people are paired together, they become intimidated in an instant.

…

With two consecutive game-winners, Lin Ying's presence this season has slightly increased.

You must know that the Nets are superior to others this season. He has almost changed from a 48-minute man to a 12-minute man. He often exerts his strength in the last quarter.

However, after the game, as expected, the fans focused not on the buzzer beater itself, but on what Lin Ying said during the buzzer beater.

This is not what Lin Ying said himself. Although he did the same thing as Bird, he did not like to show off like Bird.

This is not what Butler said. Butler is still autistic.

This is... what Durant said.

Durant didn't say this in front of the media, but on social media, and he once again picked the wrong number.

"Shadow told you that there would be a winning team, and then you were killed. This is a team that can't win the game even with the help of referees."

He directly used his trumpet to tell what happened.

Like the last incident with the wrong number, this incident also put Durant at the forefront.

"You won the game with Lin Ying's killer kill, and then you said it as if you won it yourself?"

"Durant's performance in this game was too poor, and his criticism was not on point. The Hornets found the right standards to defend, rather than the league adapting to the Hornets' standards."

"Thank you Lin Ying. If it weren't for Lin Ying, you would have been the most criticized after the game!"

"I didn't hear what Lin Ying said on the winning goal, but I clearly heard Butler's trash talk to Durant in the front row. Before Durant won the championship with Lin Ying, Butler had already followed him.

There are two of them, so who is better than the other?"

…

Like the Lakers in the last game, the Hornets' performance in this game still won the favor of many people.

Durant's decision to pick the wrong numbers this time stung a hornet's nest.

However, he did many of these things when he was with the Thunder. It would be strange if he suddenly stopped doing them when he came to Brooklyn.

Of course, there are also a large number of fans who pay attention to what Durant said.

You must know that before this, Bird's "strongest pretense" was considered the least likely to be copied.

Because not everyone has that strength, and not everyone has that courage.

Even if it's Kobe, can he guarantee that the winning goal will be scored? That's obviously impossible.

Moreover, by telling the defensive players where they will take action, this kind of open-card play is simply to increase the difficulty for yourself. If you fail, you will definitely become a laughing stock.

But now, Lin Ying has done it, and like Bird, he has achieved it.

This wave of pretense is really showing off.

And what's even more fatal is that Lin Ying actually doesn't do it just to show off.

He just wanted to teach Butler a lesson after being criticized for Durant.

As for why it was done, it was purely because Bird was there.

So this wave is actually a pretense invisibly.

Invisible pretense is the most deadly!

"NBA scouts really know the game! When I was drafting, I was curious why Lin's model was Bird, but it turned out to be because of this!"

"I thought NBA scouts were unprofessional because of this incident because Lin's character was too boring at the time. I'm sorry, I apologize!"

"I think Lin has surpassed Bird. Before this, it was in terms of strength. After tonight, he has even surpassed him in trash talk. Because if someone else has done something once, his opponents must be more wary, but he still did it."

"So is there a possibility that Lin will pretend to be all the things Bird pretended to be?"

"Haha, this is a good idea, but I don't think Lin has that kind of personality. He still has the humble character of an Oriental at heart."

"I think so too, but I still look forward to Lin doing that, because I can no longer be satisfied with winning in basketball!"

"Haha, just imagine, Lin said to LeBron after winning the championship, are you changing teams just to compete for second place? That scene is hilarious!"

"Although, this seems to be true, because if he continues to stay in the East, LeBron will not even have a chance to compete for second place!"

…

Durant was indeed affected.

The "Green's Formula" in history caused his mentality to collapse, and he finally chose to leave the Warriors who had gone there under a lot of pressure.

Although the current "Butler Formula" is not enough to make him do the same thing, it also makes him struggle.

I forgot to change my number on social media before, which was actually a manifestation.

Because whether it’s Green’s formula or Butler’s formula, the biggest problem is not how hurtful the sentence itself is, but that you have no power to refute it.

At this time, you have absolutely no way to solve the problem except venting your emotions elsewhere.

In fact, it wouldn't be a big deal if you had a better attitude or a thicker skin.

But anyone who knows Durant knows how straightforward and straightforward this guy is, and how sensitive he is.

And there was nothing these Lin Ying could do.

Because the only way to solve this problem is for Durant to change teams and lead them to win the championship.

But that is obviously unrealistic for Durant now.

So, before it was the Warriors, now it's the Nets who are experiencing difficulties.

Green couldn't shoot, and Durant had a big problem with his choices on the court.

He was hesitant to pass the ball and hesitant to throw the ball, which caused great fluctuations in his performance.

The Nets had only lost one game after playing 30 games, but then lost two games after playing five games.

This also caused Durant and Green to encounter great criticism from the outside world.

Because in a sense, Durant is the online version of Green, and their mouths are actually not very peaceful.

But this is also the variable of the season.

After all, who would have thought that Green's three-point shooting would suddenly deteriorate so much when James arrived with the Warriors?

If that weren't the case, the Warriors' performance this season might not be better than that of the Nets, but it wouldn't be much worse.

So in the same way, who could predict the emergence of the "Butler Formula"?

But, one thing is different.

After the day's training, Lin Ying found Durant and was ready to have a good chat.

After he sat down and looked at Durant, his first words were:

"Kevin, I'm not LeBron, and you're not Draymond. When we encounter a problem, we just have to solve it."

Lin Ying looked at Durant seriously.

As he said, James is a "foreigner" to the Warriors, so conflicts can easily intensify when problems arise, and no one can solve them yet.

But Durant was recruited by Lin Ying, and the Nets will not regard him as an outsider. Of course, more importantly, Lin Ying has an absolute say in the Nets.

So let alone Durant's current performance ups and downs, even if he has serious conflicts with others, he has the ability to resolve them.

"So you said, what can I do to make you think more openly?"

Lin Ying asked next.

Durant could also hear that Lin Ying was worried about him, so he thought about it and spoke:

"You pretended to be as bad as Bird, and you pretended to do it again."

"Um?"

Lin Ying looked at Durant blankly.
Chapter completed!
