"Ding, Chris Webber's favorability has increased, and the current favorability is at the full value of 100 points."
"The host successfully defeated a player and was rewarded with 1 charm point. The current charm value is 9 points."
Weber felt like his heart was about to beat out of his chest. Since he entered the league in 1993, he has never felt like he wanted to go on the field and fight his opponent.
He played under Nelson in his rookie season, and later played under Lynam for more than two years. For the first time, he experienced the coach's heartfelt care for him.
Lin Yu's "complaint", Pat Riley's crime was to insult Webber during the All-Star Weekend, which is equivalent to saying that Lin Yu's crusade against the Heat was to stand up for Webber.
Weber knew very well that neither Nelson nor Lynam could do such a thing for themselves.
Although he had a high impression of Lin Yu before, he didn't think Lin Yu's coaching ability was so outstanding. The reason why the team's record is good may be more due to luck.
Now he doesn't think so. Lin Yu is really capable. Just a few words can make the Bullet team's morale rise to an unprecedented high. Even a wretched guy like Brother Legs who usually wilts has already rolled up his sleeves and is ready. It's a bayonet fight with the Heat.
Daben was breathing heavily, his muscles all over his body were tense, and his uniform was stretched tight to his body, as if it was about to burst in the next second.
"Bloodbath heat!"
Weber roared loudly, and the generals responded.
"Bloodbath heat!"
"Bloodbath heat!"
Lin Yu didn't care about the charm value now. He clapped his hands to signal everyone to quiet down.
"Okay, this is the kind of morale I want!"
"We are the Lions, we are the Tigers. There is only one outcome for the Heat tonight, and that is to be torn apart by us at Verizon Arena!"
"I will assign your tasks next."
"Chris, the only thing you have to do tonight is attack, attack, and attack again. You don't have to help defend Mourning. Ben can take care of him by himself."
"Jamal, what you have to do is to lock down Marly. With your current defensive strength, Jordan will be suppressed even if he comes. I believe you."
"Legler, start tonight, show your three-point level against the Hornets, and shoot them to death."
"Rod, you are a veteran and have played against Tim Hardaway countless times. You know what to do."
Lin Yu assigned the tasks of tonight's four starters one by one. He did not let Jaylen Rose start, but let the leg brother with stronger three-point ability take the second starting position.
"Ben, you are the top priority tonight. It can even be said that you are the key to whether we can defeat the Heat."
"From the second you step on the court, no matter where Mourning is, find a confrontation with him, stick to him, slap him, and let him see who is the little man."
Lin Yu didn't mention the four-double. He didn't want to put pressure on Ben. In fact, the key to whether he could get a four-double was not with Ben, but with how Lin Yu arranged it, so there was no need to tell Ben.
Everything was ready and the game was about to start. Lin Yu led the Bullets to the court.
Bullets fans stood up and cheered. Regardless of whether they can win tonight, at least the Bullets have gained momentum, and at least they have the courage to challenge the second-leading Heat in the Eastern Conference.
Lin Yu walked to the bench and looked in the direction of the Heat bench.
Riley also noticed Lin Yu's gaze. When the two looked at each other, they could see completely undisguised disdain and contempt in each other's eyes.
This is the first time Lin Yu has met Riley. Even if Lin Yu is unhappy with Riley, he has to admit that Riley's appearance is indeed very good. He is wearing a straight gray woolen suit, which looks quite expensive. A bright red rose, maybe a carnation, Lin Yu couldn't tell clearly.
At first glance, it seems that Riley is not here to lead the team to play, but rather to make a movie.
Originally, there was a process of shaking hands between the coaches of both sides before the start of the game. When Lin Yu saw that Riley was not moving, he would definitely not be able to take the initiative to shake hands with Riley.
After a while, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starting players from both sides began to take the field.
"Crush them!"
"Let them leave the Verizon Center crying!"
Lin Yu stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, attracting Riley's malicious eyes.
The Bullets' starting five, their morale soared to the sky, and they walked into the court with high spirits.
In the jump ball session, Weber and Mourning walked to the midfield line, but unfortunately Weber failed to win the jump ball.
Mourning glanced at Da Ben jokingly, "What? A little man, he doesn't even dare to jump the ball, he only dares to talk big words?"
"After tonight you're going to be a joke, the kind of joke that will go down in NBA history."
Weber knew that Da Ben was not good at words, so he immediately said: "I advise you to save some energy, otherwise you will need to take painkillers again soon."
Mourning sneered, "Two wretches, no, including your coach, there are three wretches."
While they were chatting, everyone had already taken their places.
Big Ben kept Lin Yu's instructions in mind and immediately stuck to Mourning after the jump ball.
Tim Hardaway missed his mid-range shot, and the basketball bounced high on the rim. Ben and Mourning under the basket had already started to clash muscle with muscle.
Mourning's positioning for the ball was excellent. Although Ben was unparalleled in brute strength, Mourning's strength was not limited. He blocked the advantageous position and collected the offensive rebound one step ahead of Ben.
After grabbing the offensive rebound, Mourning ducked into the three-second zone, where he could complete a dunk by raising his hand.
A sinister smile flashed across Mourning's face. He had already thought about how to humiliate Ben after dunking.
Grasping the basketball with both hands, Mourning took off and jumped. The poor basketball was even slightly deformed by Mourning's iron-like fingers, which shows how much strength Mourning used.
The moment Mourning took off, Ben also jumped up.
From the opening to the present, the anger in Ben's heart was on the verge of exploding. He concentrated all his strength on his right arm and slapped the basketball in Mourning's hand with a big slap.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and Ben, like a divine weapon from heaven, blocked Mourning's dunk.
It wasn't over yet. With a hook of his finger, Ben took the basketball out of Mourning's hand and grabbed the basketball with his left hand.
"Who are you calling the little guy?!"
"Who are you calling the little guy?!"
Ben burst out with anger, officially entered the red temperature state, looked directly into Mourning's glasses and roared.
Mourning had almost entered the red temperature state. He was pressed down from the air by Ben, and then he was yelled at again. His body was shaking slightly and his anger level was almost at its peak.
The referee rushed over and stood between the two to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"Scrum!"
"Scrum!"
Riley shouted at the referee on the sidelines.
When Lin Yu saw it, he quickly shouted, "Violation!"
"Violation!"
Under the leadership of Lin Yu, people all over the scene followed Lin Yu and shouted violations.
Whether it was Lin Yu or Riley's shouting, of course they all had their own purposes.
Mourning was pressed down from mid-air by Ben. There was no suspicion of foul play, and the shot was blocked cleanly. Ben must have recorded a block data.
But after blocking the shot, this special situation will have different results depending on the referee's decision.
If the referee thinks that both players have their hands on the ball after landing, it is a contest.
If Ben has taken off his hands before landing and only Mourning touches the ball with both hands, it is a walking violation.
"Scrum!"
Riley was still shouting that if there was a fight for the ball, he didn't think he could beat Mourning. The ball still belongs to the Heat.
Unseld was sitting not far from the Heat bench and stood up to taunt Riley.
"Idiot, there is a scramble for the ball in the half, and the ball belongs to the defensive team. You don't know this, do you?"
"No wonder Ray Jackson said that even a dog tied up on the sidelines can lead the Lakers to a showtime championship!"
Riley blushed at the ridicule. The NBA does have such rules, but they were just introduced last season. He has been coaching for decades and has been fighting for the ball, and he has not turned around for a while.
The chief referee summoned the other two referees and after discussing for a moment, gave a result that was neither a duel nor a violation.
They believe that Big Ben snatched the basketball from Mourning's hand before landing, so the ball should be regarded as a block and a rebound, and it belongs to the Bullets.
Big Ben's personal data added a block and a rebound.
The fans at the scene were stunned when they heard this result. Since the ball was snatched from Mourning's hands, shouldn't it be a steal? Why did it become a backboard?
It was actually a rebound, even though it did sound like a steal.
Lin Yu was overjoyed. This penalty result was even more satisfying to him than the violation. At least it would give Ben an extra rebound.
And after the first block was obtained, this time the real original...the guillotine started!
In the last game against the Bucks, Andrew Long only appeared four times in one game. Even if he blocked all the shots, he still wouldn't be able to block double figures. It was different tonight. Lin Yu didn't believe it and Mo was furious. I would rather not go it alone.
The Bullets attacked, and Legler set up a pick-and-roll for Speedy. Speedy had a good chance to shoot, but unfortunately he failed to score.
This time, Ben's position under the basket was better, and he also grabbed the rebound.
Unlike Mourning, Ben had no intention of making a second attack. Seeing Weber running without the ball, Ben passed the ball.
Webber, who caught the ball, didn't stop at all. He jumped up and made a fadeaway mid-range shot. PJ Brown tried to block the shot, but it was a useless effort. Webber's mid-range shot went hollow into the net.
Lin Yu applauded and cheered. Ben scored another rebound and an assist. The start was extremely smooth.
"You weakling, you don't even dare to take a shot in front of me!" Mourning mocked when he saw that Ben chose to pass the ball after grabbing the rebound instead of making a second attack.
"You took action?"
Ben glanced sideways at Mourning and then began to retreat.
This simple sentence almost choked Mourning to death. Did he take action? It seemed that he didn't take a shot, because when he was about to dunk just now, he was held down by Ben while dribbling the ball, and he didn't take a shot at all.
When Weber heard this from the side, he couldn't hold back anymore and grinned. Menghulu usually doesn't attack people, but once he does, he will definitely be very lethal.
