"Mr. Unseld, has April Fool's Day passed early?"
"He's our new coach? He looks even two years younger than me."
Chris Webber complained in front of Lin Yu, and Juwan Howard, who was standing next to him, quickly pulled his arm and asked him to stop saying a few words.
Lin Yu didn't care what Weber thought of him now. He was still searching for Ben in a panic.
Without a big budget, his plan would be impossible to carry out, and it would be difficult to achieve a record that satisfies Paulin in the coming week.
Unseld glanced at Lin Yu and found that Lin Yu's expression was unnatural, and he suddenly felt angry for no reason.
"Shut your mouth and respect the coach. This is the professional quality a player should have!"
"Every player present pricked up their ears and listened carefully."
"If I catch you disrespecting the coach in any way, I will rip your balls off and throw them to the slums of Baltimore to feed to the wild dogs!"
The old bone crusher's face was full of ferocity, he raised his huge hand that was far larger than an ordinary person, and clenched it into a fist viciously.
The older the guy is, the more he values rules. Seeing Weber treat the head coach with this attitude, the old bone crusher can't stand him. In addition, his favorability for Lin Yu is full, so of course he has to stand up for Lin Yu.
Unseld has great authority in the team. After he got angry, all the players present did not dare to breathe.
Weber shrank his head in fear and did not dare to say another word.
"I'll leave it to you, Lin."
"Disband, let's train freely."
Unseld patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, with encouragement in his eyes, turned around and left the training ground.
The players spread out and began free training.
Lin Yu's original solemn expression relaxed and he saw Da Ben.
Muresan is too big, and Ben is a marginal water cooler player. He has been standing at the back of the crowd, and his whole body was blocked by Muresan.
"Hey Ben!"
Lin Yu walked quickly towards the base with a smile on his face. The plan to attack the base was officially launched!
"Hello, coach, nice to meet you." Daben was also frightened by the angry old Bone Crusher just now. He was afraid of being charged with disrespect, so he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Happy? Just be happy!"
"I'm going to let you start at center in tonight's game. You do have a reason to be happy."
Lin Yu stared at Da Bendao with kind eyes.
Da Ben was confused. He also wanted to ask if April Fools' Day had come early, but looking at Lin Yu's extremely serious expression, it didn't look like he was joking.
"Coach, are you serious?"
"I'm not a smart person. I can't tell the difference between the jokes they sometimes play on me."
After he said this, he scratched his head shyly and laughed.
As a rookie and an undrafted player, he was definitely the perfect target to be bullied in the locker room. It seemed like Ben was often teased by Weber and the others.
"Of course it's real, more real than real gold!"
"I swear on my career, I will definitely start you tonight."
"Man, take advantage of this opportunity. I'm sure you'll be able to make an astonishing sum after tonight."
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, a system prompt appeared in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host, Ben Wallace's favorability progress has been started. The current favorability is 50. For detailed information, you can view the player attribute panel."
50? Lin Yu was shocked. He didn't expect that just promising Ben to start a game could increase his favorability so much.
In fact, he still underestimated the desire of low-level players like Ben to start.
Once he becomes the starter, it means that his playing time will skyrocket. Ben's original playing time of 5 minutes per game will be at least 30 minutes after starting.
As playing time skyrockets, personal data will definitely rise as well. If the data is good, the team's status will naturally be high, and there will be opportunities for high-paying contracts in the future.
By the way, his status in the locker room can also be improved. At least he will no longer be the bottom of the locker room who is bullied.
Lin Yu couldn't wait to check Daben's player attribute panel.
[Ben Wallace] (Peak Halo Bonus Status)
[Strength 85] [Speed 70] [Bounce 76]
[Low post offense 42] [Low post defense 85] [Rebounds 81] [Blocks 82] [Steals 62]
[37 mid-range shots] [11 three-pointers] [39 free throws] [35 passing] [22 ball control] [23 breakthroughs]
[Current favorability is 50, enjoy 50% halo effect]
Lin Yu was stunned, why did he feel something was wrong? The attributes of Daben are much worse than I expected.
The attributes related to offense and passing control are very poor. Lin Yu is not surprised at all. If any of these attributes exceeds the 60 mark, then Lin Yu should wonder whether he has traveled to a non-parallel world.
What he feels is wrong is that Ben's rebounding and defense-related attributes are a bit too low.
It's impossible for a guy at his peak to have such little strength.
In an instant, Lin Yu understood what the problem was. The favorability value was too low, and Ben could not fully enjoy the bonus effects of "Peak".
"We still have to find a way to conquer the boss, and at least increase his favorability to 90 or above."
Tonight's game is Lin Yu's career debut. The better Ben's performance, the more secure Lin Yu's position as coach will be.
But now the attributes of Big Ben are obviously not enough, at least it is difficult to produce stunning effects on the field.
…
In the next few hours, Lin Yu transformed into a boiling sheep.
"Ben, are you tired? Drink some water and take a rest."
"This is a drink I went out to buy for you. Others don't get a share."
Lin Yu even unscrewed the lid of the drink before handing it to Ben.
"Ding, Ben Wallace's favorability has increased, and his current favorability is 55 points."
"Ben, I see you're sweating so much, come over and wipe it away."
"Ding, Ben Wallace's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 60 points."
"Great shot! I made 100 free throws in practice... um, 36? There's a lot of room for improvement."
"Ding, Ben Wallace's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 62 points."
For several hours, Lin Yu had been chatting around Da Ben, praising him from time to time, and even scolding him for being a licking dog when he came.
He didn't think there was anything abnormal. Isn't it normal for a coach to care about his players?
Daben didn't think it was abnormal at all. He was relatively slow and realized later. He only felt that Lin Yu was really good to him, and his favorability towards Lin Yu gradually increased.
The other players at the training ground were dumbfounded and had no idea what Lin Yu was doing.
Because you are too young and inexperienced, you want to find a backer among the players? Linam did the same thing when he first came here.
But what do you, Lin Yu, think when you catch Da Ben, a little transparent person, licking him like crazy? Shouldn't it be time to lick Weber or Howard?
…
At the end of the morning training session, Lin Yu looked sad. The strategy guide was much more difficult than he thought.
Favorability before 60 points is easy to brush up.
After 60 points, the difficulty suddenly increased, and Lin Yu spent a lot of effort to increase it to 70 points.
The terrible thing is that after reaching 70 points, no matter how much Lin Yu asked for help, the value remained unchanged.
In the afternoon, Lin Yu checked Daben's attribute panel. He wanted to see to what extent Daben's current attributes had been improved.
When he saw the favorability column, Lin Yu suddenly discovered that there was another string of writing behind the favorability level of 70.
"No black man can say no to fried chicken, a Rolex and a Cadillac, and if he has one, give him a double portion."
Lin Yu's eyes are about to pop out. Why is the ghost system still engaging in racial discrimination? Fortunately, the attribute panel cannot be seen by outsiders, otherwise Lin Yu's coaching career would be over.
The NBA is also known as the Negro League. It discriminates against black people in the Negro League. Later Clippers owner Sterling is the best negative example.
"This seems to be some kind of reminder? It reminds me how to improve my favorability level next?"
"It's broken. It's really a little butter for SLG. It even has strategy tips."
Lin Yu inherited the memory of this body and knew very well whether the system was rough or not. No black man could refuse Rolex and Cadillac.
When Ben was chatting with Lin Yu just now, his eyes fell on Lin Yu's new Rolex from time to time.
"Ben, do you like Rolex?" Lin Yu pulled Ben to his side and asked with a smile.
Ben scratched his head naively, "Of course, every child who comes out of a black neighborhood dreams of owning a Rolex."
"It's a pity that I'm too poor. With a salary of 150,000 yuan, after paying taxes, I still have less than 100,000 yuan left."
"I have eleven brothers and sisters, and my mother is getting older. I need to feed them."
"When I have some savings, I will definitely buy one."
Ben's words made Lin Yu feel sad. Even now that he has entered the NBA, Ben's life is extremely difficult.
Living in Beijing is not easy. Ben plays basketball in Washington and has to spend at least US$1,000 on rent every month. He also has so many family members that he needs to take care of.
"Here you go." Lin Yu took off the Rolex that was still warm from his wrist and stuffed it into Ben's hand.
Ben was like a frightened rabbit, with a horrified look on his face: "Coach, how can this be done?"
"Why not? I have a lot of Rolexes at home. This is just a basic piece, not worth much."
"This is my gift in advance to congratulate you on defeating your opponent tonight."
Lin Yu's heart was bleeding when he said this. He was actually poorer than Ben. There were only dead rats and cockroaches in the basement, and there was no Rolex.
However, in order to improve Daben's strength as soon as possible, Lin Yu didn't care so much.
"Coach, do you really think I'm qualified to be a starter?" Ben said tremblingly, holding a Rolex in his hand.
All the gifts he had received in his life combined were not as valuable as this Rolex.
"Starting? Can you make a difference?"
"You are the next bone crusher that makes other centers tremble, the super beast that suppresses the basket, and the top star who is destined to get a contract worth tens of millions of dollars."
"This Rolex is my investment in you."
Da Ben was so stimulated by these words that he trembled all over and nodded solemnly at Lin Yu.
"Ding, Ben Wallace's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 90 points."
This piercing sound was like the sound of nature in Lin Yu's ears. He succeeded. After being a hot sheep for a long time, he gave away even the most valuable things on his body, and finally raised Da Ben's favorability to 90 points!
Lin Yu couldn't wait to check Daben's attribute panel again.
[Ben Wallace] (Peak Halo Bonus Status)
[Strength 95] [Speed 75] [Bounce 80]
[Low post offense 45] [Low post defense 90] [Rebounds 89] [Blocks 89] [Steals 66]
[38 mid-range shots] [12 three-pointers] [39 free throws] [36 passes] [23 ball control] [24 breakthroughs]
[The current favorability is 90, and you can enjoy 90% of the halo effect. You need to trigger a specific scene to continue to improve the favorability]
Lin Yu looked overjoyed, this was right. Even if he has not reached the peak, this attribute can still crush most centers in the league.
The key is that this is not Ben's final attribute after he comes on the court. He can also enjoy Lin Yu's random halo effect.
This week's random halo can increase Ben's strength by 10 points, rebounds by 3 points, and shot-blocking attributes. Even if the effect is only 90%, it is quite amazing.
Big Ben will have a power of 104 points, 91.7 rebounds and blocks, a real beast under the basket!
Everything is ready, and Lin Yu can't wait for tonight's home game to start as soon as possible. He wants to give the NBA a little shock with his big budget.
