After being cheated out of a Rolex by Harvey, Lin Yu had only one thought in his mind, that is, he wanted to buy a Rolex store!
Who can stand it when people cheat on Rolex every day...
After returning to the locker room, Lin Yu called McGrady and Xiao Ao to his side. The current favorability of both of them was 90 points.
"Tracy, what is your dream?" Lin Yu first asked McGrady.
McGrady was still worried. He was worried about Pence's injury. After hearing Lin Yu's question, he sighed and said, "My dream is that Anfernee can stay healthy forever."
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He is a coach, not God. How can I help you with this kind of thing?
It seems that McGrady's favorability level cannot be fully increased for the time being.
"Jermaine, what is your biggest dream right now?"
"Dream? My biggest dream has come true, to make my mother proud of me."
Lin Yu shook his head, "What about this?"
"Except for this, I don't want to be called a kid anymore. I'm an adult and I'm less than two months younger than Kobe. Why am I being called a kid? Kobe is Peter Pan?"
At this point, Xiao Ao's face was full of displeasure. Lin Yu was embarrassed to tell him that the reason why you were called a child was because you had a baby face!
Kobe Bryant currently has only two nicknames, one is VINO, which means wine, and the other is Little Flying Warrior, which means Peter Pan.
It's called wine, probably because Kobe has played a lot of performances worthy of opening champagne to celebrate. Of course, this was Lin Yu's guess, and he didn't know the specific reason.
By the time Kobe was about to retire, he had countless nicknames, including No. 8 Man, KB24, Black Mamba, Show Boat and Lord of the Rings...
It is worth mentioning that Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings, does not have the nickname Lord of the Rings in the NBA. His real nickname is Mustache...
The Lord of the Rings is also a unique Chinese nickname given by Chinese fans.
On the contrary, Kobe actually has the nickname Lord of the Ring, but it's not king, it's lord...
"Isn't this easy? Just grow a beard. No one will call a beard a child."
Lin Yu quickly came up with a bad idea, but Xiao Ao's eyes lit up. He thought this idea was great.
"Ding, Jermaine O'Neal's favorability has increased. The current favorability is at the full value of 100 points."
"The host successfully defeated a player and was rewarded with 1 charm point. The current charm value is 35 points."
"Congratulations to the host. Every time the charm value increases by 5 points after 10 points, the current charm value is 35 points. The system will provide three random rewards, and the host can choose one of them."
"Reward ①: 50 million US dollars, directly deposited into the host's bank account."
"Reward ②: Increase the host's endurance by 5%."
"Reward ③: Master-level driving skills."
As Lin Yu expected, the upper limit of the charm value reward is 50 million US dollars. In addition to 50 million US dollars, there are also two other weird abilities.
Apart from being useful when something bad happens, Lin Yu can't think of any other scenarios where it can be used to improve endurance.
As for master-level driving skills, it is even more useless for a guy like Lin Yu who can't reach 80 kilometers per hour in a Porsche.
Lin Yu chose 50 million US dollars without hesitation. He really wanted to acquire a Rolex store. No kidding, this money could be put to good use.
…
The next morning, Lin Yu learned from the newspaper that Larry Brown had resigned as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers due to physical reasons.
Lin Yu chuckled. The 76ers management had given Larry Brown face and gave him a step down without losing face. In fact, everyone knew that Larry Brown was forced to be fired by Iverson.
Originally, Lin Yu thought that Larry Brown would not appear in front of him again this season at least. However, in the afternoon, an announcement from the Detroit Pistons made Lin Yu frown.
Pistons coach Doug Collins resigned and Larry Brown became the Pistons coach.
Lin Yu remembers that Collins was indeed fired by the Pistons halfway through the season. After all, the Pistons' record was indeed garbage.
However, it was not Larry Brown who replaced Collins, but Pistons assistant Alvin Gentry.
Speaking of which, Gentry and Larry Brown have a deep connection. In 1989, Larry Brown was the Spurs coach, Gentry was his assistant, and Popovich was also a Spurs assistant at the same time.
However, Popovich's situation is different. His qualifications are older. Gentry joined Larry Brown's coaching staff during the NCAA period, and he is regarded as Larry Brown's direct coach.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't know what happened, but one thing was certain, that was, Larry Brown had tricked one of his own people.
If it weren't for Larry Brown, the position of Pistons coach would belong to Gentry. Gentry himself probably knows this very well. It's even possible that he had already reached an agreement with the Pistons management, and then was interfered with by Larry Brown. .
Lin Yu had an evil plan in his mind. Unfortunately, there is no game against the Pistons this season. This evil plan can only be considered in the long term.
…
When the time came to late March, there was only one month left before the end of the regular season. The Wizards played a total of 65 games, winning 57 of them and losing 8.
In addition to the five games they lost before the All-Star Game, the Wizards lost three more games in the schedule after the All-Star Game.
Lin Yu lost his temper after losing this game. Since the rise of the Wizards, some teams have realized the problem, that is, it is impossible to defeat the Wizards in traditional positional battles.
The Wizards' defense is definitely at the Bulls level. The defensive intensity in positional battles is extremely high, and the offense is harder to target than the Bulls. The Bulls usually have at most three shooting points on the court, while the Wizards have at least four shooting points on the court. If If Big Ben is not present, there will be five top shooting points, which the opponent will be unable to guard against.
The difference between those weak teams and the Wizards is just a matter of losing more or less.
In this case, some teams started to play George Karl's route ingeniously. They were going to lose anyway, so they might as well go crazy and shoot three-pointers. As long as the touch is hot enough and the shooting rate is high enough, everything can be broken!
In front of a super high shooting percentage, everything is just a cloud. Any tactics, rebounders will win the world, or defense will win the championship. They are all lies. In the final analysis, basketball is still a scoring game.
Forget about two teams. After Lin Yu played so many games after the All-Star Game, almost all teams are trying to increase the frequency of three-point shots as much as possible, even some teams with weak three-point abilities. exception.
With so many teams trying their luck on the Wizards, the sample size is large, and there will always be lucky ones.
The Bucks got lucky. They took 31 three-pointers and scored 20. They defeated the Wizards with a score of 117:110.
It was the home court of the Bucks at that time, and Bucks fans were as happy as the New Year.
Another lucky team is the Vancouver Grizzlies, which is a bit unacceptable to Lin Yu, because the Bucks have three-pointers such as Ray Allen, but what do the Grizzlies have? There was nothing, they actually relied on shooting to kill the Wizards.
The last lucky team is the Indiana Pacers, ranked third in the Eastern Conference. However, the Pacers do not shoot because of the Wizards. Their own style is like this, which is consistent with the style of the Sonics, ranked second in the Western Conference.
Lin Yu originally thought that it would be easy for the Wizards to break the Bulls' single-season win record of 72 games this season. However, with 17 games left to play, they had already lost 8 games.
The Bulls lost a total of 10 games that season, which means that if Lin Yu wants to break the record, he can only lose one game in the next 17 games!
In fact, Lin Yu doesn't want to win 73 games in a single season at all, because this is a very unlucky number in Lin Yu's opinion. Later generations of the Warriors failed to win the championship with 73 wins, and Lin Yu didn't want to get into trouble.
…
The last game at the end of March was against the Bulls, which was also the last time the two teams met this season.
This is a complete Bulls team. Pippen has already returned and his condition is no worse than before the surgery. Rodman has also returned to the game. At this moment, he is looking at Bus with resentment in his eyes.
Lin Yu stood next to the technical stage and chatted with the Zen master for a few words. Jordan came over.
"Lin, after losing tonight, you can only win 73 at most. I don't think you can remain undefeated in the rest of the schedule."
"So it's impossible for you to break our Bulls record with 73 wins."
Jordan's confidence skyrocketed after Pippen and Rodman returned.
Lin Yu shook his head and sighed: "Michael, have you ever thought that I might not want to win 73 times at all."
"This number is so unlucky."
Jordan raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Do you still want 74 wins? Do you really think the Wizards can beat our complete Bulls?"
Regarding this question, Lin Yu did not answer Jordan at all, because in another two and a half hours, Jordan would be able to get the answer himself.
After the referee blew the whistle, all the Bulls fans at the scene fell silent.
They have been killed three times by the Wizards this season. This is the last game, and it is still a complete Bull. If they still lose, it will almost declare that their Bulls have a low chance of winning this season.
Lin Yu's starting lineup tonight is Daba, O'Brien, Webber, Kobe and Nash.
This lineup is a lineup that Lin Yu has thought about for a long time recently to deal with the Bulls.
In terms of backcourt partner's strength, of course Kobe and Tracy McGrady are stronger. After all, Nash's defense is indeed a bit bad.
However, Bulls point guard Harper didn't participate much in the offense at all, which made Nash's defensive shortcomings negligible.
And there is a good chemical reaction between Nash and Bus. Lin Yu knows very well that if the Wizards want to win, it is particularly important whether Bus can catch the ball at this point.
In addition, McGrady was not used at the third position, but Weber was used. Lin Yu also had his own considerations.
McGrady may not necessarily have an advantage against Pippen, and with Pippen's style of play, McGrady is not as efficient as Webber on defense.
…
O'Brien's jump ball is successful. Since O'Brien entered his peak period, as long as he starts, he will operate the Wizards' jump ball.
After the Wizards got the offensive ball, Nash steadily advanced with the ball. After finding Kobe's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, he lobbed the ball into Bus's hands.
Seeing Bus receiving the pass, Rodman immediately gave up on Ou, preparing to double-team Bus with Luke Longley.
At this time, Weber quickly cut to the basket without the ball. After receiving the hand-to-hand pass from Bus, he immediately distributed the ball to the open hands of Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ao was in an open position, he raised his hand directly and took a fadeaway mid-range shot, easily scoring two points.
Lin Yu laughed. It seems that the Wizards' recent hard training has produced very good results. This tactical system is called circuit board tactics by Lin Yu.
Nash first made the power input, and after the ball was transferred to Bus, as long as Rodman did not double-team Bus, Bus had a very high success rate in singles against Luke Longley.
And if Rodman comes to double-team, Ou will be in an open position when he pulls out. Bus is not that good in passing ability, but it doesn't matter, isn't there Webber who has excellent passing ability?
Weber rushed to the basket to meet Bus, and then passed the ball to Xiao O's hands.
If Webber didn't find the opportunity to cut and catch the ball, there is Kobe. He is still bound to the "Cobra Goggles" and his passing ability is also top-notch.
If the Bulls players see through this set of tricks and they give up guarding Webb or Kobe who are cutting in the air to cover the open Ou, then Webber and Kobe can also take shots on their own after receiving the ball. They are also open.
With such a simple ball power transmission system, Lin Yu is certain that Zen Master cannot crack it at all.
Relying on the unfathomable depth of the lineup, Lin Yu was able to create such an unsolvable tactical system. It is impossible for other teams to assemble such five starters.
First of all, the center needs to have strong dominance at the basket. If this condition is met, there will be no more than five insiders in the league.
Then the number one position needs to have top-notch passing and lobbing abilities. There are no more than five point guards in the league who can do this well, and Nash is the leader among them.
Then the fourth position has a stable long-range mid-range shooting ability. This is easy to find, but even if they find it, their defensive ability is not as good as that of Ou. On the defensive end, Ou can help his teammates cover up defense. Anyway, Rodman doesn't Get involved in the offense.
The second and third positions not only require quick excitement, but also strong offensive ability. In addition, they must have the ability to pass and control. There are actually many players who meet the conditions, but all of them are top stars. Except for the Wizards, which team It's impossible for the team to come up with two.
For example, Penny from the Magic, Hill from the Pistons, Pippen from the Bulls, McGrady on the Wizards bench, and Drexler, the glider, but the glider is old after all.
It can be said that the lineup Lin Yu put together is specifically for the Bulls, and it is an unsolvable existence for the Bulls lineup.
The situation on the field made the Zen master frown, and he also realized that something was wrong.
On the offensive end of the Wizards, the Bulls have absolutely nothing to do with them. No matter how they do it, the Wizards can have an advantage.
The Wizards' defensive end also made the Bulls miserable, because the main offensive points on the field were only Jordan and Pippen.
Jordan holds the ball, Kobe is on guard, and Webb is waiting not far away to cover at any time.
And if Pippen holds the ball, Webber will be guarding him, and Ou will double-team him directly, because it is almost impossible for Rodman, Ou's opponent, to take action.
The Bulls' rebounding is really strong, especially offensive rebounds. If Ola fails to make a shot, the Bulls can't beat Rodman and Luke Longley. If it weren't for their rebounding advantage, I'm afraid the situation on the court would have become very serious. Ugly.
Nowadays, Kobe is not a vegetarian. He has almost entered his peak period. The most important thing is that Lin Yu has added two points of perimeter defensive attributes to him. His current defensive attributes have reached 97 points, and he has been able to create extraordinary situations for Jordan. Big trouble.
Not to mention there is a Weber who is eyeing him!
Less than five minutes into the first quarter, Jackson Jackson quickly called a timeout. He had to find a way to break Lin Yu's offensive and defensive system.
