Lin Yu's suspension is the same as Mashburn's, and both will return on April 1st.
The day of his comeback was Sunday. Lin Yu still showered and changed clothes as before, put on red pants and quietly waited for the refresh of his new halo.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the halo was refreshed, and the first halo shocked Lin Yu so much that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Passive halo ①: "Stealing", the effect is that when your own players create steals on the field, you can steal player attributes, dollars, charm points, special props, special potions, etc. for the host. After the game, the host can allocate the player attributes to his subordinates. Any player with full favorability."
"Passive aura ②: "Sprint", the effect is to increase the speed attribute of your defender by 5 points when breaking through the attack."
"Passive Aura ③: "Elune's Blessing", the effect is to improve the players' ability to defend three-pointers on the field, and can effectively reward the opponent's three-point shooting percentage."
Lin Yu didn't even bother to look at the next two halo skills, and looked at the "Stealing" skill with wide eyes.
We can't say it's a skill, we should say it's a magical skill!
Today's teams in the league average about 8 steals per game. There are also some special teams, such as the SuperSonics, who average as many as 11 steals per game, far exceeding the league average.
The Bullets averaged 7 steals per game last season. This season, because of the speed, the number of steals has increased a lot, to about 8.5.
Lin Yu thought, even if he calculated it based on 8 steals in a game, as long as he was lucky enough, he would be prosperous.
Steal to 8 points of charm? Lin Yu can directly open the second charm reward.
Stealing eight points of player attributes is enough to defy the odds. You must know that this is just one game. Being able to steal 32 points of attributes in four games is enough for Lin Yu to turn himself into a Super Saiyan.
There are also some special props and special potions. Lin Yu has only gotten similar things once so far, which is the "Brotherhood of Sympathy" potion at the beginning. That bottle of potion made Lin Yu's start smooth and was priceless.
Even if he only steals US dollars, Lin Yu can completely accept it. Isn't this just for nothing? Who would think that he has too much money?
"Come on, why don't you take off in one go?"
"Is this compensation after being suspended? This stealing skill is simply invincible. No matter what you steal, you will make a profit."
"No, I must make good use of it this time. I must not waste this opportunity."
Lin Yu secretly made up his mind. He had randomly used good halo skills before, but unfortunately they couldn't compare with "Stealing".
He began to wonder if there was any way to increase the team's number of steals. Each additional steal might bring a little more charm. Lin Yu didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.
There are tens of thousands of halo skills, and I hope that I will randomly get the stealing skill next time. I don’t know if it will take a long time, or even Lin Yu will have another chance in this life.
Generally, point guards steal more. Almost every year, the steals title is won by the point guard. There are very few exceptions. From the 1980s to the present, only two non-point guards, Jordan and Pippen, have won the steal title. Jordan has won more than Once.
Speedy's steal ability is not bad, averaging about 2 steals per game. Cassel is very weak in this aspect. Even if he starts and plays 36 minutes per game, he may average less than one steal per game.
Therefore, Lin Yu can't send a dual point guard lineup to steal steals.
Jaylen Rose's stealing ability is also not very good, slightly better than Cassel.
Mashburn's defense is very strong, and his steal attributes are not high, but they are pretty good.
Weber's stealing ability is very outstanding. He is considered a top player in the fourth position. He averages 1.8 steals per game. Many point guards cannot match him.
Lin Yu analyzed the stealing abilities of his generals, and naturally wanted to come up with a lineup that specializes in stealing. Even if they all lose in the next week's game, as long as they steal enough, he will be able to accept it.
The Bullets have already lost 9 of their previous 10 games, and they don't care if they lose a few more. Originally they were looking to reach third place in the Eastern Conference, but now they have fallen to seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Even if they lose all four games in the next week, Lin Yu is also confident that he can return to the sixth or seventh position in the Eastern Conference in the future schedule.
Lin Yu found out the technical statistics of the Bullets this season, pondered for half an hour, and finally formed a lineup with the strongest stealing ability.
Webber, Speedy, Ray Jackson, Mashburn and Jaylen Rose, this is the strongest stealing lineup that Lin Yu can configure.
This lineup looks extremely weird, but Lin Yu can't control that much. This kind of good luck may never happen again in this life. Not to mention there is an insider Weber in the lineup, there are five point guards. Lin Yu definitely didn't even blink.
The Bullets have a home game against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, which is good news for Lin Yu.
The Warriors coach is Rick Adelman, and he is the spokesperson for the Princeton system. No matter which team he joins, he must play the Princeton system.
The Princeton system is very particular about passing. The ball is passed very many times in one round. As the saying goes, you can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. The more passes, the greater the chance of being intercepted.
The Warriors average 7.5 steals per game this season, while their opponents average 10 steals per game.
Therefore, tactics may not necessarily have a positive effect sometimes. At least the Princeton system has quite a side effect on the Warriors.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Yu was called to the general manager's office.
"Lin, now the only thing left is big money. He still has three games of suspension. We will finally get through the hard times."
"It's already April now and the playoffs are less than a month away. What are your thoughts?"
Unseld remembered that he had talked with Lin Yu about the playoff rankings before. This time he came to Lin Yu to ask about Lin Yu's plan.
"There is definitely no hope of reaching second place in the Eastern Conference."
"Then let's hold on to our sixth or seventh place in the Eastern Conference. With our strength, whether we face the Heat or the Knicks in the first round, we can defeat them and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals."
"Against the Heat, you're going to watch Riley get eliminated in the first round, and that'll make you feel good."
"Against the Knicks, we can get revenge on them and make them pay a heavy price for their recklessness."
"No matter who we play, we're fine."
Lin Yu analyzed with a smile. He did not dare to mention tonight's strange starting lineup, for fear that Unseld would stop him.
"Then it's better for me to be happy. My happiness is more important."
Unseld shook his head and said that he would rather face the Heat in the first round. On the one hand, he really wanted to make Riley suffer, and on the other hand, he didn't want the Bullets to encounter the Knicks. He was worried about another large-scale brawl.
"It's all the same, so you have fun first. If nothing else happens, after we advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, we will face the Knicks."
"Unless the Knicks fail to live up to expectations and are eliminated in the first round."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he secretly sighed at the wonders of the world. He traveled through time and made three enemies in a short period of time, namely the Heat, Pacers and Knicks.
The Pacers led by Larry Brown couldn't even make the playoffs. In Lin Yu's eyes, they were just rotten fish and were not even qualified to be enemies.
There are two remaining teams, the Heat and the Knicks. If nothing else happens, Lin Yu will face the Heat in the first round, and then the Knicks in the second round.
Even if they faced the Knicks in the first round, they would also face the Heat in the second round.
What does it mean to be on a narrow road between enemies? This is the real road between enemies.
…
In the afternoon, Lin Yu summoned the generals and announced tonight's starting list.
When Howard saw that he was about to be rested again, his face turned livid. Lin Yu would even rather let Ray Jackson start in the starting lineup than himself?
He wanted to open his mouth to argue with Lin Yu, but when he saw that no one among the generals had objections to the starting list, even Weber didn't say anything. He knew that if he spoke, he would only make himself look bad.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Yu led the Bullets players into the Verizon Center Arena.
"Lin Yu!"
"Lin Yu!"
"Lin Yu!"
There were overwhelming cheers at the scene, and all Bullets fans were shouting Lin Yu's name.
In the ten games that Lin Yu was suspended, the Bullets had 1 win and 9 losses. The record was so disastrous that the fans were going crazy.
Now that Lin Yu is back from suspension, they are sure that Lin Yu can lead the Bullets out of the trough.
Unknowingly, Lin Yu has become extremely majestic in the eyes of Bullets fans. Under his leadership, the Bullets not only have an excellent record, but their spirit is completely different from before.
The Bullets from two months ago dared to fight with the old ghosts of New York? And it's definitely impossible for everyone to be involved in such a brutal fight.
But after Lin Yu took charge of the Bullets, the situation was completely different. The Bullets showed their fangs and became a tiger who dared to fight with the old ghost.
Lin Yu smiled and waved to the fans at the scene, and saw Xia Yunshi in the crowd. Sitting next to her was a middle-aged man and woman, who he expected to be her parents.
Seeing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Yu tried his best to put on a gentle and harmless smile, waved specifically in the direction of his future father-in-law, and even made a fist-clasping gesture, which made the old man very happy.
"Hey Lin."
Old Adelman came up to hug Lin Yu before the game and said hello with a smile.
Lin Yu nodded politely. He had a good impression of the old Adelman. He was an extremely pure head coach and a head coach with faith, although his faith in the Princeton system was not that reliable.
"Mr. Adelman, it's an honor to meet you."
"It's an honor? I don't dare take it. Last time I almost sold Sprewell to that old guy Weiss, but your kid ruined it." Adelman laughed softly.
Madman Sprewell is very strong. If you ignore his personality, his current combat effectiveness is actually no worse than Mashburn.
But his character is a time bomb. How could a guy like old Adelman not see that?
In addition, Madman is not very suitable for his Princeton system, so he really wants to sell Madman.
We had almost talked about it with Unseld before, but it was ruined by Lin Yu.
But Adelman didn't really blame Lin Yu. He just wanted to chat with Lin Yu and get to know this popular young coach.
…
After a while, the game officially started.
Before going on the court, Lin Yu called out to the five starters who were about to take the field and said earnestly: "Guys, you must pay attention to cutting their passing routes against the Warriors."
"As long as they cut off their passing, the Princeton system will be broken without attacking."
"Remember, you must try to steal more. Even gambling-style steals are not impossible."
The generals nodded without thinking too much. How did they know that they would become Lin Yu's thieves tonight, and Lin Yu would become the chairman of the thief company.
"Snapped!"
Just after the game started, Speedy made a steal and intercepted the ball passed by Warriors point guard Mark Price to the Madman.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the "Stealing" effect was triggered, stealing 200 US dollars for the host."
The corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Was it a mistake? Two hundred dollars? Who is this to offend? This is not enough to go to Aurora Avenue to find a little girl.
After another two minutes, Ray Jackson worked wonders. As a fringe player, he must have regarded Lin Yu's order as an imperial edict. After coming on the court, he made various gambling steals, and he actually succeeded once.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the "Stealing" effect was triggered, stealing 80,000 US dollars for the host."
Lin Yu's face twitched again. What's going on? Suddenly increased from 200 to 80,000? How about a roller coaster here?
