The next night, before the game started, Lin Yu was hesitant whether he should still steal the ball tonight.
If you don't fight to the death, it will be a big loss if you can get special props or special potions tonight.
And if they have to fight for steals, facing the Spurs' level of power, the Wizards will easily lose. Webb and Ben are holding back their energy to kill the Spurs. If they lose, it will be a big blow to them.
Lin Yu secretly regretted that he shouldn't have coveted the feast at Mashburn last night. This guy spoke so honestly that it aroused the competitiveness of Weber and Ben.
After thinking about it, Lin Yu couldn't bear this rare "stealing" opportunity, and he also didn't want Weber and Daben to be hit, so he simply let nature take its course.
Anyway, the Spurs don't focus on the outside, so gambling steals have little impact.
After entering the stadium in the evening, Popovich smiled and walked up to greet Lin Yu. He was actually quite grateful to Lin Yu. If Lin Yu hadn't brought Mashburn to nirvana, the Spurs probably wouldn't have signed Mashburn.
Even though he has only played five games this season, Mashburn's performance has completely conquered Popovich. With strong perimeter defense and various offensive tricks, one person can support the Spurs' perimeter offense and defense.
"Lin, your players are really useful."
Popovich smiled and joked with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was dumbfounded. This joke was not funny at all. The Spurs got Duncan and Mashburn this offseason, and they became the biggest winners in the offseason besides the Wizards.
The game on the court started a moment later. Weber followed up with the general's jump ball, but lost to the general.
In fact, Lin Yu has never taken the general seriously. In the impression, after Duncan joined the Spurs, the general has gradually retreated to the second line.
However, what Lin Yu ignores is that even relegating to the second line requires a process. The general is 32 years old this year. Even though he is not young, he is still at his peak in terms of immediate combat ability, game experience and physical fitness.
Admiral Robinson is recognized for his unparalleled physical fitness. He is known as a seven-foot small forward who can replace Jordan alone. In terms of athletic talent, he is the only center in NBA history who can be said to be close to Chamberlain in terms of athletic talent.
Weber's playing style is also biased towards small forward, but he does not have the physical fitness of the general, let alone the 216 cm height of the general.
Fortunately, the general was not born in the small ball era, otherwise with his physical talent and skills, he would really dominate an entire era.
Bunyama, who became popular all over the world in later generations, performed far less well in his rookie season than the general in his rookie season.
The Spurs started to attack, and Lin Yu stood on the sidelines, looking at the situation on the court solemnly.
Lin Yu is not very worried about the matchup between Big Ben and Duncan. It is difficult for Duncan to have a clear advantage over Big Ben.
This is not Lin Yu's boast, but factual data to prove it.
When the Spurs won the championship in 2003, their opponent in the finals was the Nets. Duncan's field goal percentage per game was 49.5%.
When he faced the Pistons in the 2005 Finals, Duncan's shooting percentage was only 41% under Ben's defense.
Although Duncan still led the team to win the championship in the end and won the FMVP, his shooting percentage was very abnormal.
Therefore, Lin Yu is still very confident about Big Ben. Even if Big Ben cannot completely restrict Duncan tonight, at least Duncan will definitely not be able to explode.
What really worries Lin Yu is the matchup between the admiral and Weber.
The Spurs' young general Avery Johnson controlled the ball in the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to the general.
The general's lower plate strength is not very good, so his ability to sit and play is not outstanding. Facing Weber's defense, the general directly shot a jumper from the frame and easily scored two points.
Weber had already tried his best to take off and block the shot, but unfortunately it was to no avail and did not cause any obvious interference to the general's shot.
When the Wizards' offensive round came, General seemed to be defending Webber alone, but in fact, Duncan had been keeping an eye on him. As long as Webber dared to go deep into the basket, Duncan and General would double-team and Weber would not be able to get the ball out.
If he chooses to shoot, Webb needs to face the general's defense. If he chooses to break through the basket to score, he will have to face the Spurs' twin towers.
Big Ben couldn't help him. After all, he didn't have any shooting ability and couldn't pull Duncan out of the penalty area.
The more Lin Yu watched, the more headache he got. The Spurs twin towers were a little too invincible. It's no wonder that after Jordan retired and the Bulls disintegrated, they would win the championship immediately.
What makes Lin Yu even more distressed is that through his time travel, the Spurs obtained Mashburn. It seems that their combat power is much stronger than under normal circumstances.
Isn't it possible that after defeating the Bulls this year, the Spurs will take advantage of them in the Finals?
…
Weber played very smart. He had realized that it would be difficult for him to make a difference tonight, so he simply acted as a tool man on the court, doing his best to set up pick-and-rolls for his outside teammates.
Nash is a substitute tonight, and the three outsiders on the Wizards' field are Kobe, McGrady and Jaylen Rose.
Although Mashburn is good, he can only guard one.
Soon the Wizards gradually gained an advantage on the outside. Lin Yu was secretly thankful that he got Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant during the offseason and allowed them to enter their peak period.
Otherwise, even if they are lucky enough to defeat the Bulls this year, they will still be unable to withstand the Spurs after entering the finals.
The game passed minute by minute, and the point difference between the two sides was very tight. The Wizards had an obvious advantage on the outside, while the Spurs had an obvious advantage on the inside.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, as the young general suddenly exerted his strength and hit two three-pointers in a row, the Wizards' rhythm was disrupted, and the point difference between the two sides gradually began to widen.
With the last two minutes left, Lin Yu called a timeout and handed all the ball to McGrady, wondering if McGrady could stage a McGrady moment and save the team from the fire.
You must know that McGrady's moment was played on the Spurs.
It's a pity that this kind of difficulty is almost as difficult as the miracle of hitting three midfield three-pointers in a row. It is not so easy to repeat. McGrady made three three-pointers in succession and only hit one.
In the end, the Spurs won the game at home 92:84.
The scoring of both sides is not high, especially the Wizards. They averaged 110 points per game in the previous games, but only scored 84 points tonight.
On the one hand, the offensive and defensive rhythm tonight was extremely slow, and on the other hand, the Wizards' outside touch was not very good.
Lin Yu had no choice but to accept the reality of losing, and of course he was unconvinced.
If Kobe and McGrady can feel better, the Wizards still have a good chance of winning tonight.
If Daba has signed a contract now and uses "Washing the Marrow", then he can play center and pull Duncan out of the penalty area, and the Wizards' interior offense will not be so miserable.
Tonight, Ben and Webb scored 12 points together, which was simply terrible.
Even if Xiao Ou enters his peak period and plays a game, the situation will be much better.
Anyway, Lin Yu could think of a hundred excuses for losing to the Spurs. He was very unconvinced by losing this game.
Not only did he lose, there were only 7 steals tonight, and he only stole 1 player attribute, and it was speed, which was used by Lin Yu on Kobe. The other six were all dollars, which brought Lin Yu 390,000 US dollars.
After returning to the locker room, all the Wizards were as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost.
The outside touch was not good, and they felt they had to take the blame for the loss.
Insiders Webber and Ben were even more uncomfortable. Their pair of Wizards twin towers were completely crushed tonight. The two teamed up to score 12 points, 22 rebounds and 3 blocks. On the other hand, the Spurs twin towers scored 52 points and 24 Rebounds, 6 blocks, the statistics are not bad at all.
"Cheer up, the end of the world is not coming. This is just a regular season game. So what if we lose?"
"I can tell you responsibly that tonight is just a special situation. Next time we face the Spurs, the winner will definitely be us!"
Lin Yu clapped his hands and told the generals not to be depressed. He is really confident that he will beat the Spurs next time.
Because after this away game, Ben will be able to stand up. If he partners with Webber, the effect against the Spurs Twin Towers will definitely be much better than Ben.
As long as the inside disadvantage is not too great, then why should the Wizards lose to the Spurs.
The generals also know that losing a regular season game is nothing, but they feel aggrieved.
This Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks is the last game of the Wizards' road trip.
Lin Yu and the generals directly vented their grievances about losing to the Spurs on the Mavericks, who are also a Texas team.
The Mavericks' lineup has undergone another major overhaul this season. Last season's weird three-point guard outside lineup, now that Chaney and Jim Jackson have been traded, only Michael Finley is left.
The big bamboo pole Bradley and "Shakespeare" AC Green are the Mavericks' twin towers. Compared with the Spurs' twin towers, these twin towers are too much.
AC Green's nickname "Shakespeare" was also given by China, and his artistic content is quite high.
The Mavericks Twin Towers suffered a lot, and were disgraced after the game. Just as the Wizards Twin Towers were in such an embarrassing situation in the last game, the Mavericks Twin Towers were in such an embarrassing situation this time.
Of course they also have complaints in their hearts. Your Wizards twin towers were abused by the Spurs twin towers. Why are you venting your anger on our Mavericks twin towers?
117:91, after a pitfall against the Spurs, the Wizards regained their strength and regained their form, beating the Dallas Mavericks by 26 points in the away game.
Weber scored 37 points and 13 rebounds tonight, while Ben scored 7 points and 21 rebounds. The two of them showed their strength.
Kobe and McGrady on the outside scored 52 points together, making the poor version of Jordan Michael Finley look like a poor version of Sun Yue.
Winning against a weak team like the Mavericks would not make Lin Yu ecstatic. The real reason why Lin Yu was so happy on the sidelines was that he stole another bit of charm tonight.
There are no player attributes, no special props and potions. Apart from US dollars tonight, there is only 1 point of charm value.
Even so, Lin Yu can completely accept it, because the third charm reward is coming.
"Congratulations to the host. Every time the charm value increases by 5 points after 10 points, the current charm value is 25 points. The system will provide three random rewards, and the host can choose one of them."
"Reward ①: 40 million US dollars, directly deposited into the host's bank account."
"Reward ②: Acquire master-level flower arrangement skills."
"Reward ③: Acquire master-level French cooking skills."
Lin Yu was dumbfounded, 40 million? ! The first time it was 10 million, the second time it was 20 million, and this time it doubled again to 40 million. Next time it won’t be 80 million, right?
As for the latter two rewards, Lin Yu simply ignored them.
Flower arrangement? Fuck grandma's legs.
French food? What if you become a Chinese food master? And is Chinese food still used here? Spend 20,000 to go to New Oriental...
Lin Yu chose the 40 million U.S. dollars without hesitation. Even a millisecond of hesitation was disrespectful to the 40 million U.S. dollars.
With the arrival of 40 million U.S. dollars, Lin Yu also stole 3.2 million U.S. dollars from "stealing" this week. His total net worth has reached an astonishing 53 million U.S. dollars. In addition, he also holds 5% of the equity of the Wizards. Even with 12 million U.S. dollars In U.S. dollars, Lin Yu is already worth 65 million U.S. dollars!
Lin Yu himself found it unbelievable, knowing that half a year ago he was still living in the basement!
Lin Yu suddenly didn't know how to spend such a large amount of money. At the current price level, with more than 50 million in cash, he could buy 700 to 800 Porsches for Didi...
