After defeating the Hornets, the Wizards ushered in their first five consecutive victories, and their record directly topped the record list, ranking first in the league.
The Bulls in the East have 4 wins and 1 loss, and Jordan is having a very difficult time now.
Pippen injured his Achilles tendon in the Finals last season, but he persisted to finish the game and helped the Bulls win the championship.
Bulls general manager Krause wants Pippen to undergo surgery during the offseason so that it will not affect the Bulls' new season.
However, Pippen was not happy. He did not want to waste this rare vacation opportunity during the offseason, so he and Larsa took advantage of this time to get married and spend their honeymoon.
Larsa was the heavyweight who would have a fierce fight with Jordan's second son in the future.
This is outrageous to think about. The relationship between Jordan and Pippen is almost the same as the relationship between Guo Degang and Yu Qian. In this way, the nature is as outrageous as Guo Qilin marrying Yu Qian's ex-wife.
Pippen refused surgery during the offseason and waited until October to undergo surgery. He would have to rest for at least three months and be unable to play in the new season. Now Jordan is leading the Bulls alone.
Many fans are accusing Pippen of lacking professional ethics and not caring about the life and death of the team for women. In fact, Pippen has no professional ethics. He is simply angry and unbalanced.
In 1991, the Bulls won their first championship, and Pippen was facing a contract extension.
Pippen was really scared of poverty. Both his father and brother were paralyzed in bed. He had to support a large family, and he was also worried that he might suffer serious injuries in the future, so he asked the Bulls for a seven-year, 1800 Ten thousand dollar contract.
Judging from the current annual salary of players, this contract is actually quite cheap. After all, even a speedster can get 50 million US dollars in 5 years. Mashburn is even more exaggerated, and can get 65 million US dollars in 5 years from the stingy Spurs.
But under the circumstances at that time, the contract was actually not low, but the contract period was a little too long.
Bulls general manager Krause and Jordan both tried to dissuade Pippen and wanted him to sign for a few years less. However, Pippen listened and decided to sign for seven years.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Klaus simply agreed. After all, Pippen was indeed worth the price.
Who would have thought that in the second year after Pippen signed the contract, the salary cap began to rise sharply, not just for one year, but for consecutive years.
What devastated Pippen the most was that Jordan earned an annual salary of US$30 million last season, which was ten times as much as him!
During this offseason, Pippen couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Mashburn, who was in the same position as him, earning 65 million in five years.
How could he be willing to go to Klaus to discuss re-signing the contract? However, Klaus is not a fool. You and Pippen are already at this age. How can you give you a big contract? Jordan also got 30 million by himself. Dollars, how can the Bulls have that much money to give you Pippen.
In this way, Pippen failed to re-sign the contract. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided not to have surgery in the offseason and waited until the start of the season to have surgery to give Klaus some color.
The Wizards will have a game against the Bulls next week, and it will be at home. Then they will face the Bulls who only have Jordan.
Without Pippen, the Bulls were like a man missing one of his balls. Lin Yu really didn't believe that their wizards couldn't beat the Bulls.
…
After the Wizards defeated the Hornets, they took a plane to fly to the West. Their next opponent was the Houston Rockets.
Lin Yu had not played against the Rockets last season. Due to the separation of the East and West, the two teams only had two opportunities to play against each other in a season. Before Lin Yu coached the Wizards, the two teams had already played against each other twice.
Lin Yu is still looking forward to playing against the Rockets this time.
The Rockets' current four core players are the dream Olajuwon, the glider Drexler, the flying pig Barkley and the evergreen Kevin Willis.
It is now the end of 1997. Dameng and Barkley are both already looking at 35 years old. Glider and Evergreen are even more ridiculous, both are almost 36 years old.
Especially the evergreen Kevin Willis. This veteran was already 45 years old when he retired and had played in the NBA for a full 23 years.
Looking at the Rockets' lineup, those who didn't know it might have thought they were in a nursing home. These four players are so old that they can almost take out pension insurance.
After the game against the Rockets started in the evening, Lin Yu was disappointed to find that neither Dameng nor Barkley appeared.
When these four old guys from the Rockets come together, they don't care whether their regular season record is good or not, they have only one purpose, and that is to win the championship.
In order to save more physical energy for the playoffs, they let them go as long as they can get a playoff ticket in the regular season.
It doesn't matter if they finish eighth in the Western Conference and enter the playoffs. If they want to win the championship, they have to defeat the strongest team in the Western Conference sooner or later. It makes no difference to them whether they are eliminated early or late.
The Wizards have been so popular recently. Not only is the team extremely powerful, but their fighting ability is also daunting. They are a team that can make New York old guys suffer!
Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich suffered from court violence as a player and said his brains were knocked out. He was worried about Barkley's bad mouth and bad temper. If a conflict with the Wizards really broke out, the Rockets would How can these old arms and legs beat the young and strong Wizards players?
Lin Yu originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but Dameng and Barkley were rested, so what would the Rockets do to fight the Wizards.
The Wizards won this game very easily, suppressing it almost from beginning to end. In less than three quarters, the point difference had reached 30 points.
Lin Yu was very proud of Tang Shuai, and took the initiative to replace the main lineup and put on a substitute lineup, which did not make the Rockets lose too embarrassingly.
He doesn't have any good impressions of the Rockets, but he has a good impression of Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai is also an extremely pure coach, without so many tricks, and he is absolutely dedicated to his players.
Under normal circumstances, when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, his first coach was Tang Shuai. Under Tang Shuai's care and care, Yao Ming could grow up smoothly.
Logically speaking, if Yao Ming was not the number one pick and was taken over by a coach like Larry Brown or Carlesimo, he would probably be useless.
Just taking care of Yao Ming makes it impossible for Lin Yu to show any disrespect to Tang Shuai.
After the game, Lin Yu took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Shuai in a very respectful manner, which made Tang Shuai feel uncomfortable.
He knew what Lin Yu did after entering the league. He scolded Larry Brown on the sidelines, almost hit the old man by his collar, mocked Pat Riley in various ways at the press conference, and made Riley angry after the game. Green.
All kinds of behaviors made Lin Yu's image in Tang Shuai's mind very bad, but Lin Yu's performance tonight changed his impression of Lin Yu a lot.
After returning to the locker room, Lin Yu burst out laughing.
Make a fortune!
There were not many steals tonight, only 13, but Lin Yu made a lot of money.
Of the 13 steals, only 7 were rewarded with US dollars, and the remaining six had three player attributes, namely 1 rebound point, 1 low post defense point, and 1 strength point.
Lin Yu gave all three attributes to Da Ben without thinking.
The remaining three thefts were worth two points of charm and a special potion!
"Cleaning the tendons and cutting the marrow"!
Just by hearing the name, Lin Yu could guess the efficacy of this potion.
""Cleaning the Tendons and Cutting the Marrow": The period of use is three months. After using it on a player, all attributes that are less than 80 points can be randomly reset, ranging from 80 to 95 points!"
Lin Yu used it for himself on the spot. Yes, this guy has always had a heart to become a player.
"The use failed because the host is on a coaching route and this potion cannot take effect on the host."
Lin Yu pinched his thighs green on the spot. With such a shocking potion, if he took the route of a player, no matter how weak he was before, after one bottle of potion, he would immediately become an All-Star.
If you are lucky enough and all attributes are randomized to 95 points, you will be the first player in NBA history!
It's a pity that this medicine can't be used on himself at all. You can imagine how upset Lin Yu is.
However, there is nothing he can do to his annoyance. Lin Yu can only find one player among his players to use this priceless prop.
It is definitely not an exaggeration to say it is priceless. For example, if Ray Jackson uses this potion, his value will skyrocket!
It's a pity that Lin Yu definitely can't use such an important thing on outsiders.
At this moment, Lin Yu couldn't wait to hook up with Xia Yunshi and give him a son as soon as possible, so that the wealth would not go to outsiders. Lin Yu was reluctant to let outsiders use such a heaven-defying thing.
It's a pity that even if I'm pregnant now, I won't rush to take the trip. Just like the previous "Brothers and Feet" potion, "Washing the Muscles and Cutting the Marrow" also has a time limit and is only valid for three months.
The current group of players in our hands, Webb, Kobe or Tracy McGrady, these three cannot use this potion. Their average attributes are very strong, and most of the attributes are above 80 points.
Wu Sheng and Jaylen Rose are in a similar situation. Although they don't have particularly outstanding attributes, their attributes are very balanced. If they are unlucky, this potion may not improve them at all.
Xiao Ao and Nash are definitely useful. Their current attributes are very poor, but when they enter their peak period in the future, their attributes will also grow. Lin Yu does not need to waste it on them.
Lin Yu would definitely be reluctant to let Ray Jackson and others use them.
After this calculation, the only two people who can be used are Daben and Daba.
If Big Ben used "Washing the Muscles and Cutting the Marrow", Lin Yu wouldn't dare to imagine how strong this guy could be. He could directly go from a blue-collar center to a historical super power forward like Barkley.
Lin Yu's relationship with Da Ben is very good, and he must be willing to use it for Da Ben.
However, Lin Yu finally chose Daba, for no other reason than because Daba is his compatriot. In the future, he can play for the Chinese men's basketball team and help the Chinese men's basketball team compete in international competitions.
Moreover, Daba is also a member of the Wizards. If he is used, the improvement will be even greater than that of Ben.
Because Daba hasn't signed a contract yet, his favorability cannot be turned on, and Lin Yu can't see Daba's attributes, so he can only guess.
If I guess correctly, of all the attributes of Bus, maybe only strength and free throws can exceed 80 points, and rebounds may be on the edge of 80 points.
If Daba were to use "Refreshing Muscles and Cutting Marrow", all attributes below 80 points would skyrocket, and Daba would immediately become a top insider in the NBA.
This time when we come to play an away game, we definitely can’t bring the bus with us, so we can’t use the bus for the time being.
Anyway, there is a three-month statute of limitations, so Lin Yu doesn't have to worry at all.
Daba’s birthday is in November, and it will be November after this away game, and then he can officially sign with Daba.
…
In this game against the Rockets, Lin Yu felt very happy. If these things were converted into US dollars, Lin Yu felt that they would be worth at least 100 million US dollars!
After gaining two more points of charm points, Lin Yu's charm points have reached 24 points. There is only one last point left before the third charm point reward is opened.
The next morning, Lin Yu led the team to set off. Their next opponent was the San Antonio Spurs.
On the night he arrived at the Spurs, Lin Yu received a call from Mashburn, insisting that he invite everyone in the Wizards to have a meal together.
Thinking that Mashburn had signed a huge contract and didn't care about the small amount of money, Lin Yu simply took the Wizards to go to the big players.
"Boss, to be honest, I even feel that our Spurs can win the championship this season!"
"Tim is really strong. The twin towers he and Robinson formed, I feel it will be difficult for the Wizards to deal with it."
Marshburn is a real person, and he always picks up things that others don't like to hear.
Lin Yu said that he no longer had the appetite for a big meal. The Spurs missed Mashburn, which Lin Yu never expected before.
I have to say that Popovich's operation was simply perfect.
Mashburn has a five-year contract, Duncan is a rookie and does not take up salary space. Robinson's contract has three years left. When Robinson's contract expires, he can use his salary to renew Duncan's contract.
And Robinson will be 36 years old by then, and it is impossible for him to ask for a big contract again.
The abacus jingled.
As a result, the Spurs suddenly emerged as a new force in the Western Conference, and will definitely become a serious problem for Lin Yu in the following years.
It's a pity that things have come to this, and Lin Yu can't change the status quo. If he had thought of this earlier, he would have persuaded Mashburn to join the Suns.
"Can their twin towers be stronger than ours? I don't believe it."
Weber curled his lips and said.
"I don't believe it either!" Daben answered from the side.
Mashburn shook his head and laughed, "Don't believe it. You will know after the game tomorrow night."
"But I can't understand the current combat effectiveness of the Wizards. Several young people this year are really outstanding."
"Our Spurs have an advantage on the inside, but they may not be able to have an advantage on the outside."
Weber was so angry that he couldn't eat. He felt that he and Ben were being despised by Mashburn.
Lin Yu doesn't think so. He knows that Mashburn is right. Facing the Spurs Twin Towers, the Wizards Twin Towers may really be at a huge disadvantage.
What is the concept of the Spurs Twin Towers? They are almost the number one super twin towers in NBA history. If you look through the entire NBA history, you can't find a more powerful twin tower combination than them.
The former twin towers of the Rockets, Dream is naturally very strong, but his partner Thorpe is almost uninteresting.
Later, the more famous Wallace Twin Towers, namely Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace, were far behind. Their combination was not as good as the Wizards' current Big Ben partner Webber.
Look at the level of the Spurs' twin towers. Duncan is recognized as the number one power forward in history. General Robinson's historical status is not as good as that of Big Dream, but he is at least among the top ten centers in history.
What's even worse is that Popovich also specially designed tactics for the Twin Towers. He is extremely strong in himself and has tactical blessings. It's scary to think about it.
