Big Ben was the first player Lin Yu recruited, and he was also Lin Yu's favorite player. Unfortunately, Big Ben's luck was not very good. To this day, he has not produced the kind of statistics that shocked the league under Lin Yu.
Weber had a super double-double of 50+10 in a single game and scored 40+ in two consecutive games, breaking his personal scoring record.
Harvey had a sudden rebirth. He scored 48 points before and broke his own personal scoring record.
Speedy posted a hallmark point guard data of 20+20 assists. Even the leg guy hit 10 three-pointers in a single game, breaking his personal scoring record.
Big Ben was in a miserable situation. In the game against Green Kai, his opponent surrendered. In the game against Hornets, he had a fight with Mason and only played three quarters, and then he was suspended.
When he played against the Magic, he didn't have the blessing of "Unyielding", he himself didn't reach his peak, and his statistics were unremarkable.
When he reached his peak, he met O'Pang again. He spent the entire game stuck in position to help Weber improve his statistics. He only scored 4 points and 6 rebounds in that game.
It was garbage time against the Spurs and he couldn't play, but he got 20+ rebounds against the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, such statistics are not shocking to the league.
Then he injured Jaylen Rose's finger...
Fortunately, the finger is almost healed and he will definitely be able to participate in next Tuesday's game. Lin Yu has made up his mind to do whatever it takes this week to help Big Ben get some decent top-level data.
In Lin Yu's eyes, Weber's 50+ points in a single game are not actually considered top statistics, because throughout NBA history there are countless such statistics.
Let’s not mention Chamberlain’s season average of 50.4 points per game. Let’s just talk about modern basketball after 1985. In just 12 years, 84 people have scored 50+ points in a single game. Jordan has not even retired yet, and he has done it by himself. 34 times, in terms of difficulty of obtaining it, it is actually not as good as the 20+20 of speeding car. After all, the data of speeding car is only played by 30 people.
In Lin Yu's mind, the truly top-level data, even if it is not the only one, must appear at least five times.
Quadruple-doubles fully meet this condition. To this day, there have only been four real records of quadruple-doubles, by Nate Thurmond, Earvin Robertson, Damn and General. contribute.
Now with the help of the rugged appearance and the Noxian guillotine, as long as Ben's luck is not so bad, Lin Yu will definitely find a way to make Ben the fifth quadruple-double creator.
…
The Bullets will play three games next week, all at home, against the Bucks, Heat and Cavaliers, all Eastern Conference teams.
Lin Yu offended Riley "for no reason" before, and then both sides sent fringe players in the team to chat with each other, but nothing happened afterwards. Riley seemed to have forgotten this matter.
Of course, Lin Yu is not so naive as to think that Riley has really forgotten. In the next game against the Heat, he will face Riley for the first time. I wonder if Riley will play any tricks.
The All-Star Game was being played on TV, and Lin Yu watched it with interest.
The All-Star coach in the West is Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. When Lin Yu saw the coach in the East, he couldn't help but look stunned. It turned out to be Pat Riley!
Lin Yu soon figured it out. Last season, the Bulls were No. 1 in the Eastern Conference and achieved a record of 72 wins in a single season. It was natural for Jackson to be elected as the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
The All-Star coach cannot be re-elected. The No. 1 player in the Eastern Conference is disqualified this year. Naturally, Pat Riley, the No. 2 player in the Eastern Conference, will take over.
After watching the first half of the game, Lin Yu's face gradually turned cold. Where is Weber? Weber didn't even play a single second in the first half?
In the regular season, it is normal for a substitute to not play for one second, but this is an entertainment All-Star game, and there are unspoken rules for the playing time of stars.
Generally, the playing time of starting players is about 25 minutes, and the playing time of substitute players will remain between 15 and 20 minutes.
In the entire first half, Webber didn't have a second, which was clearly aimed at Webber.
When the second half began, Weber gradually started to play. He played 5 minutes in the third quarter and 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. The total was only ten minutes.
What's even more vicious is that when Riley arranges for Webber to play, he is always with backup point guard Terrell Brandon.
This year's All-Star Game is held in Cleveland. Brandon is the only star of the Cavaliers. As the host, he is naturally eager to perform when he comes on the court. In addition, he is also a point guard and holds a lot of ball rights. The players who appear with him It's hard to get the right shot.
Weber is considered a player with a good temper. When the live camera swept over him, Lin Yu still noticed the annoyed look on his face.
It was too bullying, so he was only given ten minutes, and he played with the host country. Even Jordan couldn't put up decent statistics.
If we talk about old stars like Malone and Dameng, they don't care about the All-Stars at all.
And Weber is a young man, and this is the first time in his career that he has been selected as an All-Star. How could he be willing to be a salty fish?
After the All-Star game ended, Webber only took three shots, scored one, and recorded 2 points and 2 rebounds. He was completely unavailable.
Seeing Weber bow his head and leave the field in frustration, Lin Yu was completely annoyed.
Lin Yu admires Weber's performance these days. He is a good man who values love and justice. He always treats his friends and brothers with all his heart. He is simply a triple Andy Lau, the best among men.
Lin Yu was a man of two generations, and young Weber was like his own child in his eyes. Now that his child was being bullied like this, he couldn't bear it.
If this place cannot be found, Lin Yu will not even be able to face Weber in the future.
Of course, Lin Yu didn't have the rashness to really use the All-Star playing time as an issue. After all, Dumas in the Eastern Conference also had very little playing time, only ten minutes like Weber.
…
The next morning, Lin Yu was sitting in the general manager's office, listening to the old bone crusher going crazy.
"Riley is an ugly mole who only hides in holes in the ground, and he actually extended his dirty paws to my players!"
"Damn, we only scored two points with an All-Star!"
"Lin, help me think about how I can retaliate against him. I definitely can't swallow this!"
Unseld is always clamoring to crush the players' balls, but he defends his shortcomings better than anyone else. When he sees his players being humiliated, he is even more angry than Lin Yu.
"We have a game against the Heat this Thursday, which is our home court. Is a big win against them enough for you to say this?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile.
"Not enough! And are you really confident that you can beat the Heat? They are second in the Eastern Conference. We won't be beaten by them, right?"
Unseld looked worried. Even though the Bullets had risen to seventh place in the Eastern Conference, he still didn't have the confidence to defeat the Heat.
"Not enough? Then let our new bone crusher chop four pairs of them on their heads, and then defeat them. Is that enough?"
Lin Yu asked again.
"New Bonecrusher? You mean Big Ben? I like that nickname."
"But four pairs? My child, are you awake? Do you know how difficult it is to get four pairs?"
"I'm not afraid of making fun of you. Since I started counting blocks in 1973, and in the eight years since my retirement, I have never even gotten five blocks in a single game, let alone double figures in blocks."
"I admit that Ben's shot-blocking talent is much better than mine, but do you think he can slap Mourning ten times?"
Unseld felt that young people like Lin Yu were too ambitious and did not even pay attention to four pairs. Is that data that can be obtained with just one?
Lin Yu smiled and did not refute Unseld. He has very few blocks in his career, mainly due to his height and jumping. He is extremely short, has a huge tonnage and cannot jump high, so his main defensive method is Use your strong physique to squeeze your opponent out of the basket.
He confirmed that Daben’s style was exactly the same as his own. Of course Daben couldn’t do anything he couldn’t do.
If it were not for the random appearance of "Rugged Appearance" and "Noxus Guillotine", Lin Yu would not have been able to count on Ben to score a double-double on Mourning's head, but now with these two auras, Lin Yu feels that the probability is extremely high .
Mourning's style can be compared to the later Warcraft Howard. Both of them are short and stocky centers with the ability to finish at the basket and strong defense. The difference is that Mourning has more mid-range shooting ability than Howard.
It's a pity that Mourning is the kind of player who can dunk but never shoot. Even if he has the ability to shoot, he rarely shoots. He still likes to find physical confrontation with his opponents under the basket.
The more physical confrontation there is, the higher the probability of triggering "Rugged Appearance", and the higher the success rate of Ben's blocking, and then the guillotine effect can be triggered, and there is even a brilliant halo to ensure that Ben has sufficient physical fitness for melee combat.
As long as Mourning doesn't give in and keeps fighting with Ben at the basket, the possibility of Ben making double figures in blocks is very high.
It is not difficult for Ben to have double figures in blocks and double figures in rebounds. It is not difficult to double in assists because of Webber, a human mid-range shooting machine. As long as the arrangement is proper, it is not difficult to score in double figures. Mourning's defense is more difficult. He is not a vegetarian. With Ben's poor offensive ability, it is a bit difficult for him to score in double figures, but that is not to say that there is no chance at all, he just needs a little luck.
