At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, Peja arrived in Washington. Lin Yu went to the airport to pick up Peja from the training ground.
After arriving at the training ground, Peja looked curiously at the Wizards who have been extremely popular recently.
Wild!
This was Peja's first impression of the Wizards, especially Ben and Daba. Standing there felt like being on the African savannah, facing two male lions.
Lin Yu clapped his hands and summoned the generals to come over.
"Brothers, today our Wizards welcomed another extremely important player."
"Peja Stojakovic!"
"He will become the best European perimeter player in NBA history, bar none!"
"He can take our Wizards' shooting ability to a new level. He is a natural shooter who can compete with Larry Bird and Reggie Miller!"
Lin Yu solemnly introduced Peja to the generals, saying that Peja was the best outside player in Europe. In fact, it was a bit exaggerated, because later French sports cars Tony Parker and Doncic came out, and their achievements were greater than those of them. Peja high.
But in terms of strength, Lin Yu doesn't think Peja is worse than these two.
Weber and others all cast curious glances at Peja. Lin Yu went to pick him up in person, which made them realize that this European newcomer was definitely not simple.
Lin Yu's evaluation shocked them even more. He could compare with the shooting ability of Bird Bird and Reggie Miller. How strong is this thin white boy?
"Man, we have a game tonight, are you ready to go on stage?" Lin Yu asked Peja next to him with a smile.
Peja looked stunned. Are you going to play tonight? He had just been on a plane for more than ten hours!
"I'm ready to play at any time."
Even though he was tired, Peja still didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. He was in the Greek league and knew NBA information much better than Bus.
He is very clear that this time is a rare opportunity for him. McGrady is injured, which does not mean that no one in the Wizards can play the three position. Jaylen Rose is the swingman, he can definitely play the three position. Numbered.
If he can win Lin Yu's trust, then he can be in the starting third position. Even if McGrady returns from injury, his playing time will definitely be indispensable.
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I will start tonight and let the whole league see that our Wizards are still a strong team even if they suffer a large-scale suspension!"
The generals are even more curious. Tonight's opponent is the Knicks. Although this season's record is a bit low and not as eye-catching as last season, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Can Peja really lead the remaining Wizards to win?
"Ding, Peja Stojakovic's favorability has increased, and the current favorability is 60 points!"
He started the game as soon as he joined the team, and went to the airport to pick him up. He also gave a very high evaluation during the introduction. How could Peja's favorability for Lin Yu not increase?
…
The home game against the Knicks is about to begin tonight.
Speedy happily ran to the Wizards bench, and he was shocked to find that most of his old friends were not there.
"Boss, you have been so popular recently. I hear your name almost every day in New York."
"And the new Mongolian you signed is really terrifying. I heard that Stackhouse almost strangled him to death."
"At the 76ers' post-game press conference, Stackhouse didn't dare to say anything, probably because he was afraid of retaliation."
"It's a pity. If I had stayed with the Wizards, I would have won a championship with the team this year."
Speedy said with a regretful expression.
"Come on, you will make at least $25 million less if you stay with the Wizards. Do you want a championship or $25 million?"
"Then it's still twenty-five million." Speedy said with a smile.
Every player has different pursuits. The money he earned in the early stages of his career was too little. He only earned 11 million in eight years. If he earned more than 100 million in the first eight years, then he might really have to drop a lot of money to win the championship. salary.
"By the way, why do you only have these few players? Where's Ewing? Where's Houston?"
Lin Yu asked curiously. He didn't see these two people on the Knicks bench.
"This is our last away game of this round, and the two of them have returned to New York."
"Jeff is afraid that there will be another conflict tonight and we will suffer a loss. After all, the Wizards don't have many players left. Even if they are suspended, there will be no loss. We, the Knicks, are different. If we encounter a large-scale suspension again, we may not be able to continue this year." We can’t even make the playoffs.”
Speedy explained with an embarrassed expression.
He got a five-year contract worth more than 50 million yuan with the Knicks. The Knicks obviously expected him to lead the team to a higher level. However, he failed to make it and almost dropped out of the playoffs.
However, this has little to do with Speedy. The first person to take the blame must be Ewing. His contract is much larger than Speedy's, but his current combat power has declined extremely seriously.
Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh. Jeff Van Gundy, a guy who looks like a vampire, is really cunning. Maybe he thought that even just the three of Speed, Oakley and Big Mom would be enough to kill the remaining Wizards. There was no need to let Ewing and Houston adventure.
…
After the game started, the Knicks' lineup still looked very good. In the starting lineup, Speedy, Starks, Big Mom, and Oakley were all good players.
Looking at the Wizards' starting lineup, it's too shabby.
Center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Lionel Simmons, small forward Peja, shooting guard Jamie King and point guard Nash.
This starter is extremely weak at first glance and will lose the game at first glance.
"Remember, the absolute main point of attack tonight is Peja. As long as you have the ball in your hands, give it to Peja, unless he is double-teamed by the opponent and you are in an open position."
"Peja, try your best to shoot three-pointers tonight. Your shooting percentage determines our chances of winning tonight."
Lin Yu gave the instructions to everyone again before the generals came on stage.
Peja nodded repeatedly and then followed the generals onto the court.
Ou's strength is very poor, but his jumping ability is very good. The opening jump ball gave the Wizards the ball.
Lin Yu sat on the sidelines and carefully checked Peja's attribute panel.
[Peja Stojakovic] (peak aura blessing state)
[Strength 72] [Speed 81] [Bounce 74]
[Low post offense 57] [Outside defense 85] [Rebounds 66] [Blocks 44] [Steals 61]
[91 mid-range shots] [94 three-pointers] [96 free throws] [74 passing] [66 ball control] [59 breakthroughs]
The basic attributes are not very good, but they are not too bad either, they are within an acceptable range.
The attributes related to shooting are extremely outstanding. Taken together, they are definitely better than Kobe or Tracy McGrady, with all three items reaching over 90 points.
What Lin Yu didn't expect was that Peja's defensive attributes were quite outstanding, reaching 85 points. This is already a top-notch defense on the front line.
When many fans see Peja's tall and thin figure, his shooting style, and his identity as a white player, they will naturally classify him as a defensive weakling.
This kind of impression flow is actually not a big mistake, because it is true that most of this type of players are really weak defensive chickens.
However, Peja is an exception. His defense during the Kings period was quite outstanding. Although he was not at the level of a defensive lineup, he was still at the first-line level at the third position.
It can be said that Peja is a 3D player with the top promax version. He was born in the wrong era. If he were left in the small ball era, it is difficult to imagine what heights he could reach.
After Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Speedy came forward with a grin on his face. What he liked most were players like Nash who looked so thin.
As a result, before he could reach the front, Nash made a decisive move and passed the ball to Peja.
Looking at the aunt who was less than two meters tall in front of him, Peja shot a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line.
"brush!"
From a distance of 23 feet, there is an 8% increase in hit rate. Peja's three-point shooting rate is already high, and Auntie's defense poses no threat to him. This shot was hit with great ease.
In the Knicks' offensive round, Speeder decisively beat Nash in isolation, held the ball and pushed Nash away, then rushed towards the basket.
Before Xiao Ao made a save, he took a mid-range shot and hit two points.
Lin Yu felt helpless. If the Wizards had a full lineup, would the speedster dare to rush to the basket like this? His head was tilted.
Xiao Ao has a long way to go at present, but now Peja has reported that in the next time, Lin Yu is going to let the Golden Five start training together. The tenfold increase effect is enough to allow Xiao Ao and Nash to grow rapidly. .
The ten-fold effect is not just ten-fold, because players cannot be in training all the time for a year, and they only train for 10 months without any rest time.
One month of training for the Golden Five equals ten months, and two months of training equals two and a half years!
The training lasted for two and a half years, which was enough for O'Neill and Nash to enter their quasi-peak period, or even reach their true peak period.
In other words, the Wizards in two months will be the real complete Galaxy Battleship!
In the next round, Peja still shot a three-pointer in front of her aunt, but unfortunately she failed this time.
In the third offensive round, Peja scored another three points.
As the game continued, it almost became Peja's personal three-point show. In the first quarter alone, he shot 11 three-pointers and then hit 6 more, surpassing the 50% three-point shooting rate.
Not long after the start of the second quarter, Lin Yu made a substitution adjustment with a smirk, moving Nash to the second position, and moved the old Irving to the first position to counter the speeder.
The speeding car couldn't guard against the old Irving, and the court started to paddle.
After he left Washington, he was actually most worried about the old Irving. He was afraid that after he left, the old Irving would also be waived by the Wizards. After all, the old Irving was indeed not strong enough to play in the NBA, especially on a powerful team like the Wizards.
However, Lin Yu still saved the old Owen, which made Speedy extremely grateful.
Irving Sr. is on the court tonight, and Speedy must be thinking of asking Irving Sr. to get more data. It doesn't matter if his own data is better or worse, since he already has the pension contract anyway.
Speedy's release was very thorough. He simply stopped attacking on the offensive end. From time to time, he took the initiative to make mistakes, allowing the old Irving to get some steals or blocks.
When the defensive end saw Old Irving getting the ball, he wanted to hold Old Irving and run to the basket...
At the end of the first half, Jeff Van Gundy looked at the score of 45:52 and suspected that he was delusional.
Are you sure we are facing the remaining Wizards tonight? Why the hell are we still seven points behind?
Even this cannot be said to be a disabled Wizards. With six absolute cores missing, the Wizards can be called disabled.
Even so, relying on Peja's super high scoring efficiency and the speed of the game, they still achieved a seven-point advantage.
Peja had 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, and still 6 three-pointers in the second quarter!
"God, this is the real world? Guess what happened?" Old Bernie held up the technical statistics board and couldn't believe what happened.
"Let me guess, did Peja break the three-point record?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
In fact, in Lin Yu's view, Peja's performance tonight can only be regarded as normal, not extraordinary at all.
Facing the defense of a small player like Auntie and the halo effect of "Javelin Throwing", Peja's shooting rate was only about 50% tonight.
It seems that the more than ten hours of flying did have a big impact on him.
But even so, Peja still broke the record.
"The previous record for three-pointers in a half was 8, while Peja had 12 in a half. This is definitely a record that has never been done before or since!"
"Even the three-point record in the game was broken by him. It was 11 before. God, this kid broke the three-point record in the game in just half a half!"
Old Bernie screamed as if he had seen a ghost. It is true that people in this era have never seen such a terrifying thing.
The record that had been held for decades had already been broken during half-time, and anyone who heard it would find it unbelievable.
Lin Yu must be resistant. In his opinion, 12 three-pointers in the half are enough, but it does not mean that it can reach a shocking level.
Klay Thompson, the future Warriors, made 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, and he made 9 of 9 shots, which is shocking.
"Congratulations, Peja, after tonight, our Wizards also have a historical-level marksman."
Lin Yu stepped forward and patted Peja on the shoulder to congratulate him.
"Ding, Peja Stojakovic's favorability has increased. The current favorability is 70 points."
"A historical-level marksman should have a historical-level record and help Peja hit more than 15 three-pointers in a single game."
Peja's favorability task seemed to Lin Yu to be a waste.
There were already 12 in the first half, and only three more three-pointers were needed in the second half. Is that a big deal?
When the second half started, Jeff Van Gundy began to double-team Peja. It was not an ordinary double-team. He asked Ram Buck and Oakley to double-team Peja.
Facing the double-teaming of two big men, Peja really couldn't find any space to shoot. However, he still has a passing ability, which is enough to ensure that the Wizards maintain the lead on the court.
By the way, he also secretly looked for opportunities to continue shooting three-pointers.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Washington Wizards were at home and narrowly defeated their old rivals the New York Knicks by 5 points with a score of 101:96.
Peja hit 16 three-pointers, two mid-range shots and 4 of 4 free throws, totaling 56 points, 0 rebounds and 5 assists...
Yes, Peja did not grab a single rebound tonight.
Lin Yu was amazed when he looked at this data. This may be one of the most bizarre data in NBA history.
Lin Yu remembered that Kobe had such a game. What's even more strange is that Kobe also played against the Knicks in that game.
61 points, 0 rebounds and 3 assists, even weirder than Peja.
In addition, the Flying Squirrel also had a game with 54 points, 0 rebounds and 7 assists.
However, these two data have not been released yet, and Peja's data tonight is the only one.
