Lin Yu couldn't bear the excitement, so he took out his phone and called Ross directly.
"Man, are you ready?"
Ross had just arrived home and was confused after receiving the call. What were he prepared for? Are you going to be traded?
"coach……"
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lin Yu speak again.
"Hush, don't say anything, be prepared, and if you're lucky, you will be the Player of the Week next week."
"Get ready to be Jordan!"
After saying that, Lin Yu hung up the phone, giving him a sense of mystery.
Jaylen Rose's face is as twisted as a twist, is he lucky? When have you ever had good luck?
That is to say, he respects Lin Yu very much. If someone were to ask him about luck, he would have to scold him.
…
Lin Yu was still savoring the three random halos this time, imagining how dazzling he would be in the next week if he were a player.
After tasting it, Lin Yu suddenly discovered something was wrong.
Just now, he felt that Jaylen Rose could kill everyone with this week's halo. On the one hand, there are indeed many improved attributes, and on the other hand, the effect lasts for a long time.
The previous "Rugged Appearance" only lasted three seconds, but now it has soared tenfold to thirty seconds.
However, Lin Yu now realizes that there are offensive and defensive rounds on the court. After Rose finishes shooting, if the Bullets don't grab an offensive rebound, it will be the opponent's offensive round.
If the opponent plays a slow-paced offense, holding back an offensive round for twenty seconds, and wasting a few seconds on the sideline serve, then the halo duration that Jaylen Rose can enjoy may only be six or seven seconds.
Lin Yu couldn't stand it any longer. Wasn't this forcing him to attack for seven seconds?
When Lin Yu met Unseld for the first time, he talked to him about the seven-second offensive strategy.
Unseld's comment at the time was, "It sounds like a very exciting tactic, but would a head coach with cerebral palsy really use such a juggling tactic?"
Who would have thought that the halo randomly received this week could only attack for seven seconds, and Lin Yu had to suffer what Unseld called cerebral palsy.
…
The next morning, Lin Yu led the bullet generals onto a plane flying to Los Angeles.
This time it's not the Lakers, but the Los Angeles Clippers.
In the next week, the Bullets have four games, playing against the Clippers on Monday, the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, and the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.
The Clippers are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference, and they seem to be a strong team. However, with the current situation where the east is strong and the west is weak, the Clippers' winning rate is not as good as the tenth-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference.
On the plane, Lin Yu was closing his eyes to rest.
There is a game tonight. In fact, the Bullets were supposed to leave for Los Angeles yesterday, but Paulin is stingy. If they leave today, they can save a night's hotel money.
"Coach, are you asleep?"
Tracy Murray, who was sitting next to Lin Yu, gently patted Lin Yu's arm and asked weakly.
Lin Yu opened his eyes, "What's wrong, Tracy, is something wrong?"
"Coach, can I play a few more minutes against the Clippers?" Murray is a very introverted player and rarely talks in the locker room.
Now he actually asked Lin Yu for playing time, which made Lin Yu feel even weirder.
"What's the reason? Man, you should give me a reason."
"My cousin plays for the Clippers and plays the same position as me, and my family gets together every time to watch our games."
"I don't need to start, just give me twenty minutes..."
Murray murmured, his face turning red as he spoke. He felt that his request was a bit too much.
"Ramond Murray?"
"You should have told me earlier. Just start tonight. Family is more important than anything else. With our current strength, we can easily win against the Clippers. It doesn't really matter who starts."
"Man, I have owed you a bit during this period. I will find opportunities to make it up to you."
Lin Yu is Chinese, and his family values are deeply ingrained in his bones. If it were him, he would have a game against his cousin, and his family would be waiting in front of the TV to watch it. He would definitely want to play for a while.
And Lin Yu really feels that he owes Tracy Murray.
Before Lin Yu came, Weber was the starting small forward, Murray was the chief substitute small forward, and Harvey was a soy sauce.
Now Webb has been moved to the fourth position, Mashburn has become the starter, Harvey has become the chief substitute, and Murray has become a soy sauce.
It would be fine to say that Murray is not strong enough. The key is that his strength is not bad, and he is not far behind Harvey at his peak.
Last season, Murray averaged 16 points and 4 rebounds per game and shot 45.4% from the field. This shooting rate is not impressive at the third position, but his three-point shooting rate is as high as 42.2%, which is very impressive.
If you really want to nitpick, his defense isn't very good.
"Huh? I remember that Lamond Murray is Alan Houston's cousin. Are you also Houston's cousin?"
The reason why Lin Yu knows this is entirely because Ramon Murray will average 16 points per game next season and sit on the Clippers' scoring throne. Such a shabby scoring leader, of course, his life experience makes People have deep memories.
Tracy Murray nodded, "Yes, Alan is my cousin."
Lin Yu really has nothing to say. Unseld is really amazing. He has got a lot of related players in the league. Harvey has a Cobra brother, and Murray has a cousin who is the king of mid-range shooting.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Lin Yu summoned all the generals and three assistant coaches.
"Guys, we're playing against a weaker opponent tonight, so I wanted to try something new."
"Quick attack!"
After everyone heard Lin Yu's words, they all looked at each other. Didn't they say they wanted to play a pick-and-roll? Why did you start playing fast break again?
"Coach, our Bullets' offensive rhythm is quite fast. Looking at the league, we are already in the top five levels."
Feiqi proudly said with his chest puffed out that he is the engine of the team and determines the speed of the team's offensive rhythm.
"Not enough, far from enough!"
"What I want is extreme speed, a seven-second attack, no, a six-second attack, and control each attack round within six seconds!"
There was an uproar at the scene. If Lin Yu hadn't led them to an impressive record, they would have definitely thought that Lin Yu was a basketball layman.
End the offensive round within six seconds? Are you kidding me? It takes three or four seconds to control the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and only two or three seconds after reaching the frontcourt. It means you can catch the ball and shoot it. Isn't this nonsense?
"Pop!"
"A cross-era tactical idea, which will inevitably trigger all teams in the league to imitate it."
"I even have a premonition that this will become the mainstream tactic in future generations!"
Just when everyone felt that the six-second attack was extremely unreliable, Old Sweet Pea clapped his hands and praised it.
Lin Yu was confused. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Old Sweet Pea was flattering him or if he really meant it.
Sweetpea himself is the kind of player who transcends his era. He is very suitable for fast breaks, so he may really approve of this ultimate fast break, but his tone sounds like flattery.
"Jalen, get out of the queue!"
Lin Yu shouted at Jaylen Rose.
"In this game tonight, you are our absolute main attacker."
"After you come on the court, shoot for me. Shoot to death. As long as you are on the court for one second and the ball is in your hands, shoot for me."
"Don't think I'm kidding you. This is a dead order. If you can't do it, I think Legler will be happy to take your starting position."
Jaylen Rose's liver trembled, he was excited and frightened. He was excited because he had unlimited fire power, even if it was only temporary. What he was afraid of was that if he was unlucky and missed his shot, what should he do?
He suddenly remembered the phone call Lin Yu made to him last night. No wonder he said that if he was lucky, he could transform into Jordan, with unlimited firepower, and if he was lucky, he could make whatever shots he wanted. Isn't that Jordan?
After the players were disbanded, Lin Yu called Mashburn over again, told him about Murray's situation, and asked him to play as a substitute for Murray tonight.
Mashburn readily agreed. He is a typical cold-faced and warm-hearted person.
Before the game started in the evening, Lin Yu announced tonight's starting lineup. It didn't change much from the past, except that Mashburn was replaced by Murray.
"Ding, Tracy Murray's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 50 points."
Just from this improvement in favorability, you can know how much Murray attaches importance to tonight's game.
Lin Yu checked Jaylen Rose's attribute panel again.
【Jaylen Rose】
[Strength 70] [Speed 84] [Bounce 84]
[Low post offense 44] [Outside defense 81] [Rebounds 72] [Blocks 61] [Steals 66]
[85 mid-range shots] [81 three-pointers] [88 free throws] [71 passing] [67 ball control] [63 breakthroughs]
[Current favorability is 70, enjoy 70% halo effect]
It can be seen from the attribute panel that Jaylen Rose is also good at both offense and defense, but his defensive ability data is not reflected, and his block and steal data are relatively low.
A traditional shooting guard who prefers shooting, his shooting ability is not top-notch, but it is enough.
With such a basic projection attribute, coupled with the blessing of a passive aura, the opponent is a rotten fish like the Clippers. If Jaylen Rose still can't hit anything, then Lin Yu can't do anything.
Uncle Huo has been keeping an eye on Jaylen Rose's performance. After he returns from injury, if Jaylen Rose performs poorly, Uncle Huo will definitely still make trouble.
So the next week is extremely important for Jaylen Rose, which will determine whether he can continue to stay with the Bullets.
