There was chaos on the court.
The fans at the scene thought that the game was officially over and it was time to leave. However, something suddenly happened on the field. The ball used for Kobe's record night was robbed. Lin Yu led the coaching staff and All the players rushed toward the locker room passage like an army charging.
The Raptors coaching staff and players were shocked when they saw this posture. Such a large number of people went to arrest John Wallace. If they were caught, wouldn't they be beaten to death?
The Wizards beat many people last season, and it seems that John Wallace is no less important. Even Malone's level was beaten by Wizards players, and it is even more impossible to beat up a little guy like John Wallace. Have any concerns.
Butch Carter made no move. He was also a new coach. Faced with this unexpected situation, he didn't know what to do.
However, the old guy Thomas immediately took action and told the Raptors players to return to the locker room quickly.
John Wallace was just a young man. He naturally didn't have the courage to do such an outrageous thing. He got instructions from Old Thomas.
Thomas Sr. watched helplessly as Kobe scored 81 points. He was extremely depressed. People in this state can easily do stupid things.
He asked John Wallace to steal the game ball and disgust Kobe and the Wizards.
John Wallace is timid. He knows that Wizards players are not easy to mess with. If he messes around like this, he will probably get beaten up.
However, he was not qualified to disobey Old Thomas's order.
After simply grabbing the ball, he quickly fled back to the locker room. No matter how cruel the Wizards were, they couldn't rush into their locker room to beat people and steal the ball, right?
John Wallace feels that he is very smart and resourceful. After retiring, he may be able to become a coach.
However, he still underestimated the lawlessness of Lin Yu and others. Is it okay to escape back to the locker room? Beautiful thought!
…
Lin Yu and others made too much noise, and the security of the arena was scared to death. If something happened, they would not be able to explain it.
It doesn't matter if someone gets injured in a fight on the court, it has nothing to do with their security.
But now that the game is over, if any player is injured, they will definitely not be able to live with it.
Dozens of security guards blocked the door of the home team's locker room, blocking Lin Yu and others from going in to find John Wallace.
"You damn guy, give me the ball quickly!"
Kobe never dreamed that something so outrageous would happen on what was supposed to be a night of joy for him.
There has never been an incident in NBA history where someone grabbed a record-breaking ball. There was one incident in later generations. In the game when Antetokounmpo scored his highest score, the ball was also snatched away by his opponent. However, Antetokounmpo reacted quickly and threw it away in the locker room passage. The ball was recovered.
"come out!"
"come out!"
"If you don't come out, we will rush in!"
"Damn it, you're a dead guy, you can do such ugly things."
The Wizards were blocked by so many security guards and it was difficult for them to rush into the locker room.
Lin Yu was so angry that he bared his teeth and shouted loudly into the locker room: "John Wallace, right?"
"I'll give you five seconds, kid. If you don't get out of here, I'll remember your name!"
At this time, John Wallace was trembling in the locker room. He cursed in his heart that Thomas was really not a human being for letting him do such a dangerous thing.
Well now, Lin Yu is going to write himself in the Death Note. He will become the next Childs or Witherspoon!
He was struggling in his mind whether he should go out and return the game ball. He also knew that his behavior was too outrageous, and he didn't know how the media would scold him tomorrow.
Just when he was hesitating, Thomas Sr.'s voice came from outside the locker room.
"Lin Yu!"
"Don't be too arrogant!"
"This is our home court in Toronto, what do you want to do?"
Old Thomas yelled at Lin Yu angrily.
Lin Yu glanced at Old Thomas, "What do I want to do? Of course I want to catch the thief. Someone stole our record ball."
"I said, can you Raptors really be so poor? Can you even steal a ball?"
"I left my words here. If this ball is not handed over tonight, John Wallace will not be able to leave this locker room. Of course, you will not be able to enter this locker room."
"What? If you don't believe me, you Raptors can give it a try. Do you really think that we Wizards are vegetarians?"
"It's good that we wizards don't bully others. You took the wrong fucking medicine. How dare you offend us?"
Lin Yu didn't give Old Thomas any dignity at all, and directly output violently, spraying Old Thomas with saliva all over his face.
Kobe was standing behind Lin Yu at this moment, looking at the majestic Lin Yu, feeling a sense of security in his heart, and his admiration for Lin Yu increased exponentially.
After being yelled by Lin Yu, the morale of the Wizards generals was so high that they were all gearing up to fight the Raptors.
Old Thomas also came out of a sea of knife and fire. The leader of the Bad Boys Legion back then was not afraid of Lin Yu's threat.
"You guys with no hair at all, if you encounter our Pistons bad boy army, you will definitely be chewed to the bone."
"It's a pity that the Bad Boys have been disbanded. Even if they haven't been disbanded, you will still be the one who gets beaten in a fight. We can beat Ma Long until he loses his temper, but you can only be beaten by Ma Long until he is pushed to the ICU!" Lin Yu and Thomas Lao exchanged quarrels. The scene was so lively.
"Lin Yu! You should be glad that you are not a player, otherwise you will never survive a season on the court!"
Old Thomas was so angry that he looked at Lin Yu with a look that could kill someone.
"What the hell are you looking at? Come out and fight!"
Lin Yu transformed into Causeway Bay and pointed at old Thomas and shouted.
"Single challenge!"
Old Thomas took off his suit and looked like he was really going to challenge Lin Yu.
"Come here!" Lin Yu used the long-lost lion's roar skill and the one-yang finger skill, hooked his fingers at old Thomas, and then roared.
Old Thomas was just about to step forward when he suddenly saw Daba's cold eyes like a ferocious beast, and his heart suddenly trembled.
"come here!"
"Why should I go there? Come here."
The old man and the young man were in an awkward situation, and neither of them wanted to move forward.
Old Thomas was afraid of being beaten by the bus. Ever since he was elbowed by Ma Long, he fainted. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He had a shadow in his heart about such a fierce and strong man who was about seven feet tall and did not dare to do so. Too close.
Lin Yu's idea was even simpler. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat old Thomas and would be humiliated.
After all, Old Thomas was also a member of the Bad Boys. He was taller than Lin Yu. Even though he was older, he had been training for so many years. When he challenged Lin Yu in a duel, the chance that Lin Yu could win was less than 10%.
Lin Yu is not a fool. He can just shout slogans and say harsh words. Who would want to actually go up and get beaten?
When he beat up Larry Brown before, it was because Larry Brown was an old white man in his sixties, so of course Lin Yu could do it.
The Smiling Assassin is only in his forties, in his prime, and is a player, so it's no problem for him to beat Lin Yu.
After being embarrassed, the two sides faced off. No one could move forward, and of course, no one could retreat.
This went on for almost half an hour, with the two of them yelling at each other in the distance, but no one made the first move.
"What are you doing? Are you going to let me go back to sleep?"
"Isaiah, can't you just give the ball back to them? No one would do this. If word spreads, people will laugh at you Raptors for having no rules."
Old Oakley was tired of waiting. He played a game and wanted to take a shower quickly and go back to bed, but ended up spending more than half an hour here.
He has just joined the Raptors and has no sense of belonging to the Raptors. He always talks about you Raptors, not our Raptors.
In fact, he doesn't look down on old Thomas, why? Because during the heyday of the Bad Boys, Oakley was Jordan's bodyguard, and he and the Pistons were all crazy. Now he doesn't know what went crazy in Thomas Thomas and traded him to the Raptors.
Old Thomas was brought down by his own people, his face turned green, and his body was shaking with anger.
"You can either go up and hit the ball, and I can help you, or you can return the ball to others. What's the point of wasting it now?"
Oakley didn't care about old Thomas's face at all and continued to make trouble.
He was quite righteous and made it clear that if there was really going to be a fight, he would help Old Thomas.
Being so provoked by Oakley, Old Thomas really couldn't bear it anymore. He is the helmsman of the Raptors and he must not give in at such a moment.
Just when he was about to take action, someone pulled his shoulder. Thomas looked back and saw that the person holding him was none other than team owner Richard Petty.
Petty looked a little ugly. After hearing the news, he hurried to the arena and even received a call from Stern on the way.
"Give them the ball." Petty said solemnly.
Old Thomas remained unmoved, neither saying he would give it nor saying not giving it.
Lin Yu laughed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, brothers, let's go in and search ourselves. That kid might have used other balls to pretend to be."
After that, Lin Yu led everyone in and rushed into the home team's locker room.
The security personnel still wanted to stop them, but Petty's wink made them stop and let Lin Yu and others in.
John Wallace was really frightened when he saw Lin Yu and others rushing in. He couldn't figure out what old Thomas was doing. How could Lin Yu rush in with so many people blocking the door?
"Where's the ball?" Lin Yu stretched out his hand and said.
In this situation, how dare John Wallace continue to resist, so he quickly found the ball from the closet.
"You kid, just change your last name. You've tarnished the name Wallace."
Lin Yu glanced at it and said disdainfully.
In the NBA, the surnamed Wallace was Ben Wallace, who was unyielding, Rasheed Wallace roared like a god, and later Gerald Wallace, Elvis Presley, elbowed Shark Bynum to the lungs Collapsed, cut off a third of his lungs and returned to the competition, an iron-blooded man.
When he arrived at John Wallace's place, he actually engaged in petty theft.
It’s really a shame and a disgrace to the Wallace ancestors.
John Wallace was confused when he told him. They had no concept of surnames and clans and had no idea what Lin Yu was talking about.
A total of four balls were found in the Raptors locker room, and they were all taken away by Lin Yu.
Old Thomas outside the door has left, probably because he was persuaded to leave by his boss Petty.
"Lin, you are so majestic?" Of course Petty felt unhappy. What Lin Yu did was not saving any face for the Raptors.
"Are you showing off your power? If I steal your record ball, you can show off your power with me."
"Oh, by the way, it's impossible for you to break any records, so there are no record balls to get."
"What a pity." Lin Yu sneered.
After that, Lin Yu was too lazy to talk to Petty and led the Wizards away.
After returning to the locker room, Lin Yu took out four balls and stabbed three of them directly with the knife on the key chain.
"Boss, wait a minute, I haven't determined which ball it is yet." Kobe said in shock.
Lin Yu looked at Kobe with a look that looked like a fool, "Is this still certain? Whichever one you say is right, it is right."
"Now you can sign the ball. In order to get your ball, I offended two of the most powerful people in the NBA for nothing."
After all, Lin Yu himself made a joke, saying that Thomas Sr. and Petty were the last most powerful figures in the league, which was a bit flattering to them, but their status is indeed high, at least not much worse than Larry Brown.
Offending old Thomas is equivalent to offending a whole bunch of Pistons villains.
It didn't matter if he offended Petty, there was nothing he could do against Lin Yu.
Kobe knew that Lin Yu was joking, so he touched his nose awkwardly, then quickly found a pen, signed his name and date on the ball, and finally wrote a big 81!
This record ball, in another twenty years, may really be worth a million dollars as Old Joe said!
"Boss, you are really the best boss in the world."
"You know what? That kid snatched the ball away from me at that time. I thought it was over and I would never get the ball back."
"They are so shameless, what can we do? But you gave me a surprise. Boss, you are really good at dealing with these shameless guys."
Kobe Bryant was full of emotions. Lin Yu spent a lot of effort to achieve his own record. If he were one of those cowardly head coaches, he might just forget about it. Otherwise, what else could he do?
At this moment, Lin Yu's image in Kobe's mind has been sublimated. He is not only his head coach, but also an elder who takes great care of him.
Other players also sighed in their hearts. They knew very well that if this happened to them, Lin Yu would definitely do the same thing and stand up for them.
Having such a head coach and playing under him is indeed a great blessing in life.
…
The next morning, Lin Yu received a call from Stern.
He learned the news last night and hurriedly called Petty, fearing that the situation would escalate.
He didn't feel relieved until Lin Yu left.
"Lin, you are really..." Stern didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Can you blame me? The 81-point record is impossible for any normal person to let go, right?"
"If I don't care about this, how can I lead the team in the future?" Lin Yu sighed.
Stern said quickly: "I don't mean to blame you. You did a good job this time, not letting the situation escalate and controlling your hot temper."
"The Raptors went too far, but I can't punish them. After all, recording goals is an unspoken rule, and the league has no relevant hard-and-fast rules."
"It's strange, how come something happens wherever you go?"
Lin Yu replied aggrievedly: "Maybe it's because I look easier to bully. They all want to bully me."
Stern almost vomited blood, are you easy to bully? If you are easy to bully, the entire league will be a soft persimmon.
Lin Yu has been in the league for almost two years. During this period, Stern knows no less than five people who have been tortured by Lin Yu to the point of death!
It has only been two years. The coaching profession generally has extremely long tenures. If Lin Yu coached for twenty years, at least fifty people would have been killed by him.
Are you telling me that you look easy to bully?
"I heard from Krause that you are going to sell Al Harrington to them. You should finalize the deal as soon as possible. It's time to give Bulls fans a reason to go to the game."
Stern called, but the real purpose was to supervise the Harrington deal.
"Okay, after the next game against the Bucks, I will send Harrington to Chicago." Lin Yu knew that now that the deal had been finalized, he could not keep delaying it.
Regardless of whether Harrington can complete the favorability task in the next game, Lin Yu is ready to give him to the Bulls.
…
After arriving at the Milwaukee Bucks, Lin Yu was called by the Bucks coach to go drink.
The Bucks coach is none other than former SuperSonics coach George Karl.
"Mr. Carl, what do you want me to say? You have been busy for a long time, and you have reached the supersonic speed, and then you were fired." Lin Yu and Carl Lao are old friends, and they started teasing each other after meeting.
Old Karl cried sadly, "Those sons of bitches deserve to die, they deserve not to win the championship!"
"It's good that the Bucks are here now."
Lin Yu was still very curious. Why was Karl Lao suddenly fired when he brought the Sonics to that record? It's really puzzling.
"So why exactly? You have been among the top three in the Western Conference in the last two seasons. No head coach can do better than you."
Old Karl waved his hands, sighed and told the reason why he was fired.
It turns out that Lin Yu had something to do with him being fired...
Lin Yu took action to help Karl Lao bring in big money. Karl Lao was so generous that he had to give Lin Yu a first-round pick to express his gratitude.
The problem lies in this not-so-valuable first-round pick.
The SuperSonics boss felt that Karl Sr. was too wasteful. He obviously didn't need to give it to Lin Yu. After all, Ben joined the SuperSonics as a free agent.
The key is that Karl Lao made the decision first and then played it out. The boss didn't know about it until after the draft press conference. Of course he was angry and kept scolding Karl Lao about it.
If it happened once or twice, it would be fine. Old Karl could still accept it, but he wanted to save face after being scolded again and again. He was also the top coach in the league, and his temper was extremely bad, so he started to fight with the boss, and it was very noisy. fierce.
The natural outcome is to be fired.
Fortunately, Karl Lao doesn't have to worry about finding a job at this level. He left the SuperSonics one day and received an invitation from the Bucks the next day.
Lin Yu was speechless, embarrassed to speak. He had been making trouble for a long time, but it turned out to be his own fault.
