"What happened to the player with tattoos just now?"
Sitting next to Lin Yu on the bus, he still didn't understand what happened on the court. He knew that he bumped into Rodman, but he didn't realize that Rodman's fate was so serious.
"It's probably a broken rib."
Lin Yu sighed and said that he was not a virgin, but with these players who had no grudges or grudges, he didn't want these unfortunate things to happen on the field at all.
"Huh? So serious? I really didn't mean to hurt him."
"Oops, I won't be deported, right?"
Daba was shocked and turned pale. He never dreamed that his NBA career would cause such a big trouble less than ten minutes after he started his NBA career.
"Don't worry, shithappens, as they say, these unfortunate things happen on the field."
"As long as you can live up to your conscience and have a clear conscience, that's all."
"Deportation or anything like that is impossible, and the alliance can't punish you for this. After all, you didn't do anything wrong."
"What's more, I'm here, and I won't let you be wronged."
Lin Yu patted Daba on the shoulder and said. He said it casually, but in fact he knew in his heart that this matter might not be so easy to make a big deal out of.
In the past six months or so, the Wizards have offended a lot of people. To be precise, Lin Yu has offended a lot of people. Looking at Daba's nationality, even a fool can guess that he must have a close relationship with Lin Yu.
Can veterans like Riley or Larry Brown let go of this opportunity to disgust Lin Yu?
Lin Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about this. The ship would naturally go straight to the bridge. As long as the strength shown by the bus was strong enough, Unseld and even Paulin would naturally come forward to solve this incident.
After two minutes of playing in the second quarter, Lin Yu sent the bus on the court again.
Without Rodman, the Bulls' rebounding strength has dropped by at least two levels. Buss is almost in a state of getting what he wants at the basket, and Luke Longley is no match for him.
Jordan was filled with anger, and he vented all his anger on the offensive end. Throughout the first half, he frantically played against Kobe Bryant, taking 27 shots and hitting 14 of them. He also made 3 of 4 free throws, scoring a total of 32 points.
Kobe's perimeter defensive attributes are extremely strong, but he faced Jordan, the first player in NBA history, and an angry Jordan. Even if Kobe limited Jordan's shooting percentage and did not explode, relying on high shots, Jordan Still scored 30+ in halftime.
Bus scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the second quarter, and already scored 31 points and 11 rebounds in the half, completely crushing the Bulls' inside line.
Not only did Bus show his strength, but the performance of the Wizards tonight was actually not bad.
Kobe has little presence on the offensive end, but he has already recorded 7 assists in the half.
Webb played very comfortably. He knew tonight was Bus's debut, so he deliberately reduced the number of shots. However, the opponent players were too weak. With Rodman gone, what could the Bulls do to limit Webb and let him kill him at half court? Scored 14 points, which only took 9 shots.
McGrady also performed extremely well on both offense and defense. After all, Kukoc is not a small forward. He couldn't keep up with McGrady's footsteps and was left open by McGrady several times. Moreover, he couldn't get rid of McGrady's defense on the offensive end.
Even with Jordan's performance, the Bulls still trailed by 14 points in the first half.
Jackson is very anxious. The Bulls' lineup is obviously older than the Wizards. In the second half, affected by physical factors, the point difference may become wider and wider.
Sure enough, in the third quarter, the Wizards took advantage of the victory and opened the point difference to 22 points.
Just when Zen Master thought Lin Yu would continue to be cruel to the Bulls, Lin Yu only left the bus on the court, replaced Webb and Tracy McGrady, and never played again in the fourth quarter.
This operation gave the Bulls a chance to breathe. After the game was over, they lost by 24 points with a score of 91:115.
Zen Master was in a mixed mood. He couldn't accept such a result at all. The key was obviously that Lin Yu showed mercy. If Webber and Tracy McGrady were still bombarded on the court in the fourth quarter, the point difference would easily exceed 30 points.
Losing to the Wizards by a big score was enough to make Jackson feel aggrieved. What made him even more uncomfortable was Rodman's injury.
Ordinary fans can't see Rodman's value to the Bulls. How could he, the coach, not know that.
Take last season as an example, Rodman played 55 games, and the Bulls only lost seven of these 55 games. However, in the 27 games that Rodman missed, the Bulls lost six.
With Rodman in, the Bulls' winning rate can reach 87%. Without Rodman, the Bulls' winning rate is only 78%.
It can be said that Rodman's influence on the Bulls' winning and losing games is definitely no worse than Pippen.
Pippen's return date from surgery has not yet been determined, and Rodman's ribs are broken, which is a serious injury. It is unclear whether he can return to the game.
Any head coach would definitely feel despair at this moment.
Lin Yu noticed Zen Master's expression. He really didn't want to get into trouble with Zen Master, but just leading the players out of the game was definitely not the host's way of hospitality. Moreover, Rodman's injury was indeed inseparable from the bus.
"Mr. Jackson, I'm sorry for what happened on the field."
After Lin Yu walked onto the court, he sighed and said that it was precisely because of some guilt in his heart that Lin Yu did not kill the killer in the last quarter.
The Zen master smiled bitterly and shook his head, "shit-happens, we can only blame our bad luck."
"Lin, actually until now, I can't believe that the Washington Wizards have become a team that can threaten us."
"You're amazing, and I'm looking forward to our second meeting in this year's Eastern Conference Finals."
Lin Yu was secretly impressed by Zen Master's magnanimity. If it were him, the core player of the team was injured that night, he would definitely not be able to show Zen Master's magnanimity.
Jordan scored 57 points tonight, but unfortunately he was not happy at all, and he didn't even bother to talk trash to Kobe after the game.
If Rodman was not injured, even if the Bulls lost the game tonight, Kobe would definitely not be able to escape being sprayed.
The handshake session after the game ended, and Lin Yu led the generals back to the locker room.
"We won! We defeated the Bulls, and we won by a big margin!"
"We will definitely win the championship this year!"
Webber yelled excitedly after entering the locker room.
He hasn't beaten the Bulls since 1995. You can imagine how excited he was with tonight's big win.
"This guy Daba is simply a human-shaped beast. How come he can do anything?"
"He can even hook under the basket! It's like a younger version of Shaq!"
"Who is Shaq? He doesn't have the shooting ability of Bus!"
"Damn it, we won't really be able to win the championship this year, right? I have to think about my FMVP speech at that time."
"Can you win FMVP? Just because of you?"
The generals were in a good mood and chatted animatedly in the locker room.
Bus stood next to Lin Yu and looked at Lin Yu awkwardly. He couldn't understand a word he said.
He played 32 minutes tonight, which is not a lot of playing time, but he scored 52 points and 25 rebounds. In front of him, Luke Longley was as weak as a chicken.
However, Daba had no intention of worrying about his own data. He was now very worried about his situation and whether he would cause trouble to Lin Yu.
"Where are our steppe heroes?"
"Come out and let me take a look. It's really a game that can go down in history, 50+25!"
"Thank God, not only can we win the championship this season, but it is not difficult at all to create a dynasty that belongs to our Washington Wizards."
Old Paulin led Unseld into the locker room excitedly.
After seeing the bus, old Paulin's eyes lit up and he wished he could re-sign the contract for the bus on the spot.
Daba’s debut data tonight is even more shocking than McGrady’s 60-point debut a few days ago!
That's 50+25 data in a single game. Not to mention the first game, not many people in NBA history can produce this level of dominant data.
To this day, since 1985, no player has ever been able to score 50+25, not even the four major centers!
However, in 2001, Chris Webber hit it once, and that was the only 50+25 in NBA history after 1985!
Of course, there were quite a lot of such data before 1985, and Chamberlain alone had many times.
But even taking into account these ancient statistics, Daba's performance tonight can definitely be considered epic.
You must know that this is his NBA debut, the first game of his career!
"This is the boss of the Wizards." Lin Yu introduced in Mandarin.
His introduction was very telling. He did not say that this is our boss, but the wizard boss. Although Daba looks naive, he is actually quite thoughtful. As soon as he heard this introduction, he knew that Lin Yu did not like this boss very much.
He nodded towards old Pauline and said nothing.
"Lin, does the bus still not speak English? Come and translate for me."
"I want to re-sign a contract with him. How about six years? Seven years is also fine. It's a purely guaranteed contract without any additional conditions!"
"One million dollars a year!"
When old Paulin shouted out the annual salary of one million, he was so energetic that those who didn't know thought he shouted out the annual salary of 30 million.
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Bolin, why don't we talk tomorrow. The game has just ended and the players are all tired."
Old Paulin didn't think much about it, knowing that it was indeed not the time to talk about business in the middle of the night. Before leaving, he patted Daba's arm again, and the more he looked at Daba, the more excited he became.
In order to get O'Pang, the Lakers really asked their grandfather to sue their grandmother, but what about themselves? I got Xiao Ao Pang without any effort, and the key price must be extremely cheap!
Some players play for a lifetime and still can't see how strong they are, while some players can see their terrifying dominance even if they only play one game. This is the case with Daba.
After old Paulin left, the wizards and generals started talking about it.
"Are you kidding? Paulin is too stingy, right? Give him an annual salary of one million?"
"Elden already has an annual salary of seven million! Sorry, Elden, I'm not targeting you."
Kobe smiled awkwardly at his old Lakers teammate Eldon.
Elden Campbell was speechless. If you scold the boss, scold the boss. Why do you involve me?
I'm even more speechless. I still have an annual salary of 150,000 US dollars, and I don't even look at you complaining for me.
"Boss, the bus can't understand what we are saying, but you can tell him."
"But you must not sign for such a long time. Pippen is the best negative example."
"I would say it's best to only sign for two years and ask him for 10 million US dollars a year." McGrady echoed next to him.
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, Daba only played one good game. If Paulin could really be so heroic, he would not be nicknamed Washington Grandet.
Because the current labor agreement does not have a maximum salary regulation for players, theoretically, as long as the salary cap is not exceeded, Bus can get a contract of any amount.
However, after 1998, there was no such good thing for Daba. Players like him with less than six years of playing experience could only sign a maximum salary of 25% of the salary cap. In 1998, the salary cap was 30 million US dollars, which was equal to It is said that Daba can only sign an annual salary of US$7.5 million at most.
Lin Yu is in trouble. Now that Daba is asked to sign a long-term contract, Paulin will definitely not pay too high a price. At least it will definitely not reach an annual salary of 7.5 million US dollars. The most reasonable signing for Daba is to only sign for this year. , and then start getting the maximum salary next year. Even if Paulin doesn't give it, there are still many teams that are willing to give it.
But if you only sign for one year, what if Daba gets injured this year?
In the end, Lin Yu decided to leave the choice to Daba.
After returning to his residence, Lin Yu sat in the living room, poured a cup of tea for the bus, and began to discuss the contract.
"Daba, you have several ways to go now."
"The first way is to ignore boss Pauline's renewal of the contract, just take this year's half a million dollars, and then enter the free market next year. If nothing else happens, you will get an annual salary of more than seven million."
Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"puff……"
"Seven million dollars?!"
The tea in Daba's mouth spurted out. Seven million US dollars a year was something he could not even dream of.
Even with the five hundred thousand dollars now, he felt like he was dreaming.
"That's right, it's US dollars. Just listen to me first."
"The second way is to re-sign with the team, which requires at least three years, because if it's too short, the price will be higher."
Daba couldn't help but asked: "How much can you give me?"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Four million should be within reach, 12 million in three years."
"Then re-sign. What's there to be embarrassed about? If I don't re-sign, I can get 15.5 million in three years, and re-signing is 12 million."
"I'm not making much less money. The key is that I don't have to worry about getting injured in three years. The player with tattoos all over his body tonight scared me. Who can guarantee that I won't be injured next."
"Brother Lin, in fact, even if I can only get five hundred thousand US dollars, I will be satisfied."
People in China seek safety in everything, and buses are no exception. If the income between the two roads is not large, it is natural to choose the safe road.
Lin Yu nodded. Since Daba agreed, he could negotiate with Paulin.
