"I choose the third option!"
Lin Yu thought silently in his mind that although twenty million US dollars is good, its value is far less than the blank halo.
He can steal 2 million U.S. dollars once in "Stealing", and 8 million U.S. dollars four times in a season. Lin Yu is only 26 years old now. He is not too old to work in the coaching profession until he is 66 years old. It means that he can still do it for forty years. This is terrible. That’s $320 million!
Only a fool wants that mere 20 million!
That night, Harvey left Washington with the Magic. Lin Yu was so moved that he couldn't even say goodbye to Harvey.
Harvey's departure made Lin Yu realize firsthand that all the banquets in the world are about to end. This season is about to end. If nothing unexpected happens, the Bullets' lineup will undergo a major overhaul during the offseason. When the time comes, he will leave. There will be a lot of people.
Take Murray, for example. He is wasting his youth by staying with the Bullets. With his ability, he is fully capable of playing the starting three position on those weak teams.
Nearly half of the players' contracts have expired. It is not Lin Yu who has the final say on whether to renew the contract, but Unseld's decision.
Moreover, the contract extension requires the player's nod. If another team offers a higher contract and the Bullets cannot afford it, they will have no choice but to give up the contract extension.
…
The game against the Magic was on Saturday. At eight o'clock the next night, after the random halo was refreshed, Lin Yu sighed. The 5% chance of a blank halo was indeed not that easy to encounter.
The three haloes this week are ordinary, with no highlights or features. They just increase the players' basic attributes and free throw attributes, which are slightly useful for Ben. However, Ben's basic free throw attributes are too low and the added free throw attributes are too few. It also doesn’t quench your thirst at all.
In the four games this week, the Bullets still had a record of two wins and two losses. In fact, if Lin Yu wants to win, there is a high probability that he can win all four games. You must know that with the improvement of the speed organization ability, the Bullets as a whole The combat power has also improved a lot. Even without the help of halo, the teams in today's league that can truly win the bullet with hard power can be counted with a slap.
It's just that Lin Yu is deliberately controlling the ranking in the Eastern Conference. He doesn't need so many wins. It's not easy for the head coach to lead the team to win, but it's not easy to lose. Lin Yu put Ben Webber on the bench and didn't play. Naturally, he lost.
There are still six games left on the schedule before the end of the regular season.
It was eight o'clock on Sunday night again, and the blank halo that Lin Yu longed for still did not appear, but this time he randomly received a halo skill that made Lin Yu's eyes brighten.
"Passive aura ①: "Iron Branch Trunk", the effect is to increase all attributes of your player in position 3 by 1 point"
"Passive aura ②: "Vision Technique", the effect is to improve the passing vision of your own No. 1 player."
"Passive Halo ③: "Great Destruction", the effect is to activate the furious posture of your own player in position three, increase the speed by 10 points, increase the bounce by 10 points, increase the breakthrough attribute by 10 points, increase the mid-range shooting attribute by 10 points, and reduce the opponent player's speed by 5 Point, lasts for one minute, scores are obtained during this period, the duration is extended by one minute, pauses and rest times are ignored. It can only be turned on once."
The effect is somewhat similar to the "Guilty Pleasure" that previously allowed Jaylen Rose to score 40 points at halftime, but the attributes are obviously much stronger than Guilty Pleasure, and it lasts longer.
Of course there are flaws. It can be turned on once. If the rhythm is interrupted during the game and the score is not scored within one minute, the halo effect will disappear.
The last time a halo that could only be used once a week was "Perfect Curtain Call", it was assigned to Mashburn, but this time it was still Mashburn.
Ben had a quadruple-double in the starting lineup, and Webb, Rose and Speed all had 50+ points. Although Mashburn hit three consecutive midfield three-pointers in that game, which was called a miracle, he has not yet done so since joining the Bullets. Had a super high scoring game.
It just so happened that Mashburn had a good time as the season was coming to an end, and she didn't have to worry about losing anyway.
The next four games are against the Hornets, Cavaliers, Rockets and Mavericks. Thinking of the feud between Mashburn and the Mavericks' Jim Jackson, Lin Yu decided to use the game against the Mavericks.
At that time, Lin Yu said to Jim Jackson that the next time he saw Mashburn, he needed to look up to Mashburn. With the blessing of the Great Destruction, Jim not only had to look up, he had to kneel down to look at Mashburn. Show off your power.
…
At the beginning of the game against the Hornets, the Bullets and the Hornets had a fight on the court, but it was only a fight between Ben and Mason and did not spread to the entire team.
More than two months ago, little Mason's nose was broken by a punch from Big Ben, and he was still wearing a protective mask on his face until tonight.
Ben and Mason were extremely jealous when they met as enemies. Even if they didn't play in the same position, they would get together from time to time after playing.
After only two minutes of play in the first quarter, Hornets coach Dave Cowens and Lin Yu replaced the two of them with a tacit understanding.
The playoffs are about to begin, and both teams are still playoff teams. Whether it is Ben or Mason, they are absolute core players for their respective teams. Whether they are injured or suspended, The team's combat power losses were huge.
After Ben left the game, Lin Yu still had Davis to step up. Without Mason, the Hornets' combat effectiveness really dropped sharply. The Bullets won this game by 17 points.
In the next game against the Cavaliers, the Bullets still won easily.
With the recent improvement in their record, the Bullets' Eastern Conference ranking has risen to sixth in the Eastern Conference.
How about sixth in the Eastern Conference? In the game against the Rockets, Lin Yu simply put a pure substitute lineup into the starting lineup, giving the Rockets a victory.
The fourth game this week is against the Mavericks. This is a game that Lin Yu and Mashburn are looking forward to.
After the game started, Jim Jackson took the initiative to confront Mashburn, which made Lin Yu sneer. He was afraid that he had some misunderstanding about his own strength, let alone Mashburn who was in the state of destruction, he was just in a normal state. Mashburn beat him like a son.
In the first offensive round, Mashburn hit Jim with a high post, then turned around and broke through to the basket. Ben once again staged the scene of holding a snake spear eight feet in, squeezing Bradley out of the penalty area, which was equal to Mashburn. The ball was a layup.
"boom!"
A flat-top dunk shocked the audience. After Mashburn turned on the destruction state, his jumping attributes skyrocketed, exceeding 95 points. Coupled with his height of more than two meters, his head was almost the same as the basket.
"I remember my coach told you, the next time you meet me, you're going to look up to me."
"I never deny any of Lin's views, but this time I have to make an exception. You are not even qualified to look up to me."
After Mashburn succeeded in the dunk, he was full of domineering attitude, pointed at Jim Jackson and sneered.
This was just the beginning of Mashburn's scoring performance. In the second round, Mashburn still played from the high post. This time Jaylen Rose wanted to come over to help with the pick-and-roll, but Mashburn smiled and shook his head and refused.
With Jim Jackson entering the three-point line, Mashburn turned over and hit the mid-range shot again.
Lin Yu, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked at Mashburn on the court and suddenly had an idea in his mind. Mashburn's offensive methods were a bit too monotonous. Should he teach Melo Anthony's unique "triple threat" to Marsh? Book.
Triple threat means that players perform offensive actions with the ball on the outside, and pass, shoot or break through according to the opponent's defense.
If the opponent comes to double-team, then pass the ball. If the opponent comes to press, then break through. If the opponent takes one step to prevent the breakthrough, then shoot directly. This is the essence of triple threat.
It is a bit inaccurate to say that triple threat is Anthony's unique skill, because Kobe and Tracy McGrady are also good triple threats, but Anthony is stronger and taller, so his triple threat is more lethal.
Lin Yu quickly called a timeout, called Mashburn to his side, and then personally demonstrated the three-threat starting moves, and told Mashburn the essence of the triple-threat.
The action was very simple, and the reason was also very simple. Mashburn's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded repeatedly. His current main offensive method is high post attack, which requires a lot of physical energy.
And if he uses a triple threat, he can save a lot of physical energy. After all, a triple threat doesn't have to be constantly confronting his opponents.
After returning to the court, Marsh was worthy of being a top star. It only took two rounds to figure out the core of the three threats, and his offense became more and more brave.
The Bullets generals also knew that tonight's game was a feud between Mashburn, so they gave Mashburn a lot of singles opportunities.
By the end of the first half, Mashburn made 15 of 28 shots, including a three-pointer, and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 35 points in the half.
Mashburn's devastating state continued throughout the first half, and Jim Jackson, who faced him, was made to look like a fringe player.
Mashburn was a bit unlucky in the second half. During the seven or eight minutes of playing, he missed a series of shots and his state of destruction was interrupted.
Even so, his own strength crushed Jim Jackson. Even if his scoring efficiency decreased, his total points still kept rising.
Not long into the fourth quarter, Mashburn's personal score had already reached 50 points.
The Mavericks fans at the scene were as uncomfortable as eating a ton of answers. Mashburn was a player for their Mavericks two months ago. In the last game against the Mavericks, Mashburn hit three midfield three-pointers in a row. Gone is Maverick.
We have already scored 50 points in just over three quarters tonight. If we keep playing, 60 points in a single game is definitely not a dream!
Such a brave superstar, the Mavericks actually sold it?
"mash!"
"mash!"
"mash!"
The angry Mavericks fans simply cheered for Mashburn.
Mashburn had a cold appearance but a soft heart. Hearing that the fans of his old club were cheering for him, he felt mixed emotions and felt a little sad. However, he did not restrain himself and kept frantically beating Jim Jackson in singles.
When there were only two minutes left in the game, as Mashburn broke through and dunked, his personal score in a single game reached 61 points!
Mashburn, who joined the Bullets for less than half a season, successfully broke the Bullets' single-game scoring record.
Lin Yu quickly called a timeout to celebrate Mashburn.
Weber and others were smiling and applauded Mashburn for tonight's brave performance. Since the battle with the New York old man, the Bullets players have shown unprecedented unity and harmony.
Mashburn hugged Lin Yu and didn't speak for a long time. He didn't know what to say to express his gratitude to Lin Yu.
If it weren't for Lin Yu's conversation at the time, he still would not be able to regain his offensive firepower. After the end of this season, he will enter the free market as a blue-collar outsider.
But now it's completely different. He is at least one of the top three super small forwards in the league today. If you want to sign him, you don't have to think about it without an annual salary of tens of millions.
The score difference between the two sides was too big, and Mashburn had already scored 60+ points. Lin Yu simply did not let Mashburn continue to play.
In any case, this is the only time in the league this season with 60+ points in a single game. Mashburn successfully proved himself before the end of the season.
