Uncle Huo returned for two games, and his statistics were gorgeous. In the first game, he had 30+10 points, and in the second game, he also had 28 points and 12 rebounds.
When fans looked at this data, they might have thought how brave Uncle Huo was on the field.
In the last two games this week, the opponents are both Western Conference teams, one is the Timberwolves, which is sixth in the Western Conference, and the other is the Suns, which is seventh in the Western Conference.
In Lin Yu's opinion, the strength of these two teams is considered to be semi-strong or not strong. The number of wins of both teams can only rank tenth in the Eastern Conference.
The game against the Suns officially begins at 7:30 pm on Friday night.
Lin Yu still let Uncle Huo start in this game, because the Suns don't have a decent power forward, so there is no reason why Uncle Huo can't have an advantage.
The real strength of the Suns is in the backcourt. After Danny Ainge took over as head coach, he traded Kidd to the team to form a double Hall of Fame point guard backcourt of Steve Johnson and Kidd, which was luxurious to the extreme.
What's even more outrageous is that Nash is currently playing for the Suns, which means the Suns have three Hall of Fame point guards.
Speaking of which, Nash, like O'Neill, had little presence in the early stages of his career. Lin Yu has included O'Neill in his future recruitment plan, and Nash is certainly no exception.
The price-performance ratio of these two people is too high. If the Bullets take out Murray to trade for one of them, the other party may have to add a little bit more.
Trade these two people and train them for two years, and they will immediately become high-end combatants.
…
After a few minutes of the game on the court, Lin Yu gradually began to feel sorry for the speedster.
He played very depressed in the game against the Pistons. In the next game against the Raptors, he scored 16 points and 10 assists, which was acceptable.
And tonight against the Suns, he will face Kidd!
When he was in the Mavericks, Kidd's defensive efficiency was not impressive due to the Mavericks' style of play. After coming to the Suns, his defensive strength was infinitely magnified. If Payton is the best defensive point guard in the league , then Kidd can definitely rank second.
The speedster was suppressed so badly that he couldn't get the ball out, so he had to find an opportunity to pass the ball to Mashburn.
The benefits of Mashburn playing the second position have emerged. The Suns use a dual point guard system. How can the small point guard Steve Johnson, who is 185 centimeters tall, withstand the pressure of Mashburn.
In fact, Suns coach Danny Ainge's arrangement was smart enough. He did not let Kidd face Mashburn, otherwise the Bullets would have advantages in both backcourt positions.
The Bullets have a greater advantage in the frontcourt. Uncle Huo did not face the shot-blocking maniacs like Ratliff or Camby tonight. The opponent on the court was Ceballos, a short power forward who is 198 centimeters tall. In addition, his touch is also good. Yes, he was really impressed.
At the end of the game, the Bullets defeated the Suns. Uncle Huo made 13 of 18 free throws and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 31 points with extremely high efficiency.
…
"boom!"
The next morning, Lin Yu was in the office checking the draft reports submitted by the scouts. The NCAA Black March had begun. All teams had sent out scouts, and new draft reports were sent back to the headquarters every day. .
Howard rushed into the office angrily, making Lin Yu look unhappy.
"Lin, what do you mean? Why do you take me off?"
Lin Yu stared into Howard's eyes and said word by word: "I am the head coach, do I need a reason to rest the players?"
"And are you sure you need a reason? I'm afraid you won't be able to face it if I tell you."
Howard said angrily: "I would like to hear your reasons. In the first three games, I averaged 30 points and 10 rebounds per game. Can you find a fourth position in this league with better data than me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu laughed and said, "In the first two games, you blocked 11 shots. You really didn't mention it at all."
"In this game against the Suns, against Ceballos, Ben could score 30 points against him alone. Do you believe it?"
"I want to give you some dignity by taking turns to rest you. Don't be ungrateful."
Lin Yu has a temper. It's strange that Lin Yu can give him a good face when Howard comes to ask questions like this.
Ever since the fight with Mason on the big court, when Howard grabbed Weber who wanted to help out, Lin Yu's affection for him has fallen into the icehouse.
"I've been with the Bullets for so many years..." Howard continued to roar.
Lin Yu shook his head, "What do you want to say? You entered the Bullets in 1994, and teamed up with Chris in the first season and won a measly 21 wins."
"Do you know what my record is after coaching the Bullets for more than a month? 17 wins and 3 losses!"
"I can tell you the truth, if it weren't for the trade deadline, you would have been traded by now."
"The reason why I still put you in the starting lineup and give you enough playing time is because I am taking care of Mr. Unseld's face."
"I'll let you start against a weak team and put up decent numbers. If you don't want to be decent, I can put you on the bench to guard the water cooler at any time."
Lin Yu broke up with Howard directly. He didn't think it was a bad thing. He wanted Howard to recognize the reality early to avoid trouble in the future.
…
After Howard left, less than half an hour later, Weber came.
Lin Yu thought that Weber was here to plead for Howard, and that he could do such a thing. However, it turned out that Weber didn't seem to know the real reason why Howard was rested.
The Bullets rested Howard. The reason given was that Howard had just returned from injury and needed continuous observation.
"Coach, can you give me unlimited firing rights for tonight's game against the Timberwolves?"
"I want to test that kid's ability. Why does he have so many more All-Star votes than me?"
The kid Webb was talking about was, of course, Garnett.
Last season, Webb was reimbursed for the season, and he never played against rookie Garnett. In the first half of this season, Webber was absent from the game against the Timberwolves, so Webber still doesn't have an accurate understanding of Garnett's strength until now.
"Of course, but you still have to be careful."
"That kid is not as simple as you think."
In Lin Yu's impression, in the head-to-head conversations between Garnett and Webber, Garnett has always suppressed Webber. Even if Garnett is only in his second year, it would not be unusual for Webber to give Garnett a beating if he carelessly underestimates his opponent. things.
"Coach, you underestimate me too much. I can score 50 points on him in this game!"
"He only had 17 points and 8 rebounds as a sophomore, and I already had 18 points and 9 rebounds as a freshman."
"Look at my performance, I will definitely beat that kid until he cries."
Weber is very confident in his own strength. He is currently in the fourth year of his career and has officially entered his peak period. He does not take the 20-year-old Garnett seriously at all.
…
At 10:30 in the evening, the Bullets' game against the Timberwolves ended.
I don’t know if Garnett cried, but Webber almost cried anyway. He played extremely poorly tonight. He only made 4 hits in 14 shots and only had 6 rebounds.
And Garnett actually wasn't much better, hitting 2 in 11 shots.
This was a true exchange of blows, and both people's data were blown up.
Fortunately, the overall lineup of the Bullets is much better than that of the Timberwolves. Ben scored 7 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks tonight, Mashburn scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Jaylen Rose returned to the starting lineup tonight. The speeding two-man spin worked well, and the two teamed up to score nearly 40 points.
Weber was so depressed that after the handshake session ended, he returned to the locker room.
Lin Yu smiled. He could understand Weber's mood. Garnett, who had always been ignored, was playing on a par with him tonight. Of course Weber felt uncomfortable.
The key is that he boasted so much in front of Lin Yu that he couldn't lose face like this.
…
This week's schedule is over again. The Bullets have another good record of 3 wins and 1 loss. They are already tied with the Eagles, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference. However, due to the relationship between victory and defeat, the Bullets can only rank fifth.
This week's halo is quite impressive. After all, the BUG-level skill of Perfect Curtain Call cannot be said to be ineffective. In addition, the two protective skills also allow Mashburn to return to the top.
Tomorrow night is Sunday, and Lin Yu is looking forward to the seventh week of halo, not knowing what surprises this time will bring.
There are four away games in the next week, against the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.
That's right, after Lin Yu traveled through time, he finally had the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with the Bulls.
Lin Yu knows very well that if there is no special bug in the halo in this seventh week, the chance of their Bullets losing to the Bulls will be more than 80%.
This Bullets team struggled to beat the Jazz. If the perfect ending was not too buggy, the game would have been lost.
The Bulls' overall lineup is much better than the Jazz's, and their tactics are more difficult to deal with. Lin Yu has no confidence that he can win the Bulls.
…
Early the next morning, the Bullets will set off for Philadelphia.
Lin Yu sat in the hotel room at night, quietly waiting for the aura to refresh in the new week.
"We are randomly drawing halos every week, please wait for thirty seconds!"
"Passive aura ①: "Dragon Bloodline", the effect is to increase the physical recovery of your own player in position 4 by 1% per minute and increase the strength attribute by 5 points."
"Passive aura ②: "Courageous Roar", the effect is that your own center roars, reducing all attributes of the opponent's center by 3%."
"Passive Halo ③: "Ascension to the Gods", the effect is to randomly select inactive players in the current roster. When starting, all attributes will be increased by 1% in the first quarter, attributes will be increased by 5% in the second quarter, and all attributes will be increased by 5% in the third quarter. The attributes are increased by 10%, and the attributes in the fourth quarter are increased by 20%!”
Lin Yu was so frightened that he jumped out of bed, all attributes increased by 20%? This is a little too outrageous. An all-around player like Webber, who has many attributes above 80 points, if he improves by 20%, many of his attributes can be close to or even exceed 100 points.
The key is that this thing is not like "Perfect Curtain Call" which can only be used once. It can be used four times in the four games this week.
It's a pity that the use conditions are relatively strict, which eliminates Lin Yu's idea of exploiting loopholes. They can only be inactive players in the current roster. If the word "current" is not included, Lin Yu can completely put Webber, Big Ben and Marsh into the list. This was put on the inactive list.
Currently, the Bullets have three inactive players, namely Jaren Jackson, Garon Nickerson and Jamie King.
The three of them were not activated, naturally because they are too weak. Jaren Jackson is okay. He entered the league as an undrafted player in 1989. He has been able to play in the NBA for so many years. He is more or less capable. The chief substitute cannot play. , can be an emergency player. If the starter or substitute is injured, he can step in and play.
As for Nickerson and Jamie King, they are just bad guys, and they don’t have any special skills. Ray Jackson is also good, at least he has a good mouth.
However, even if they are pure talents, the attributes of NBA players should not be underestimated. It is not easy for anyone to enter the NBA.
Jamie King was also the top shooting guard in the NCAA back then.
As for Garonne Nickerson, Lin Yu didn't know much about him. Even when he first took over as head coach of the Bullets, Lin Yu once regarded him as a floor cleaner on the court. He really had no sense of existence.
