Xiao'ao's injury was very serious and he suffered a severe concussion. Lin Yu paid for him to be transferred to the best brain hospital in New York. How could there be a good hospital in that poor place in Salt Lake City?
At least until the end of this season, Xiao Ou will not be able to play. It is hard to say whether there will be any sequelae. Severe concussion is very difficult and has quite a lot of sequelae.
However, Lin Yu has made up his mind to extend Xiao Ao's contract with a maximum salary. If he says it, he will throw water out. No matter how serious Xiao Ao's sequelae are, Lin Yu will not regret it.
In the next game, the Wizards put together a lineup of Nash, Curry Sr., Ball Sr., Booker Sr., and Winslow Sr., and faced the Eastern Conference underdog Toronto Raptors, losing by almost 30 points. , simply miserable.
The Wizards' lineup features an old and weak player, which is really eye-catching.
Even though Nash has a master-level pass, but his teammates are not good enough, even if he can pass the ball in place, but his teammates can't score, what's the use.
Tonight is the home game of the Wizards. Logically speaking, the Raptors are coming to play away. Thomas, the team's vice president, has no reason to accompany the team to the away game.
However, Thomas Sr. is still here, sitting on the edge of the Raptors bench.
After the game was over, he hesitated for a while, struggled mentally, and then stood up and walked towards Lin Yu.
Although Lin Yu was suspended, the suspension was based on his identity as a coach. The suspended coach Lin Yu has a relationship with the boss Lin Yu, so he can still come to the game.
"Hey Lin."
Old Thomas called Lin Yu softly, unable to open his mouth.
Lin Yu turned to look at Old Thomas, "Hey, Isaiah."
During this jazz turmoil, Thomas Sr. stood up to support him, and Lin Yu's impression of Thomas Sr. became much better.
This old guy is bad and he is really bad, but he is really bad by nature and definitely not a hypocrite like Riley.
"Lin, what happened last time was my fault. Father Chuck scolded me. I should say sorry to you."
"Actually, I'm just jealous of the outstanding players you selected. To be honest, I was ready to select them, but you blocked them all."
"After scolding my father, I realized how childish my behavior was, and I really couldn't help it."
Old Thomas looked shy. At his age, it was indeed difficult for him to say such things to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Thomas, what are you doing? I was wrong too. Last time I was too anxious and my attitude was arrogant. I have to say sorry to you."
"No, I'm sorry for you."
"No, I'm obviously sorry for you."
The old man and the young man laughed as they talked.
"Lin, have you discovered that we actually have a lot in common?" Old Thomas laughed heartily. After the knot between the two was opened, the more he looked at Lin Yu, the more he liked Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled evilly, "We do have a lot in common. For example, we can easily offend others."
"Yes, the two of us have offended enough people together to circle the earth."
Thomas Sr. had almost become a public enemy of the league before he retired. He had grudges with top players such as Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic.
He offended Jordan completely because he wanted to die. When Jordan was selected as the All-Star starter for the first time, Thomas felt that Jordan was too pretentious when he didn't say hello to him at the elevator entrance, so he directly asked many stars in the Eastern Conference to isolate Jordan and let Jordan's The All-Star debut ended with an embarrassing seven points.
Then how could Jordan not resent Thomas Sr.?
Offending Larry Bird, Thomas Sr. was also a bitch. Rodman was brainless. When being interviewed by reporters, he said that the reason why Larry Bird could achieve such high achievements was just because of his white identity. If he were black, he would be just an average player.
Rodman said what he said, but Thomas Sr. came out to join in the fun and told reporters that he agreed with Rodman's views. Larry Bird must have hated him, so no one would be angry.
Later, after Bird became the president of the Pacers, the first thing he did when he took office was to fire Thomas Sr., who was the Pacers coach at the time.
Seeing that Thomas Sr. has become a public enemy, he is really not unjust at all.
Although Lin Yu has offended many people, he can stand up and speak his mind. Lin Yu has never taken the initiative to provoke others.
"Lin, when you return from suspension, welcome to Toronto as a guest." Old Thomas warmly invited him.
Lin Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a good meal then, and I won't come back until you're drunk."
…
"Why are you talking to that guy?"
When the game ended, Jordan pretended to be casual and came to Lin Yu's side.
"Huh? Michael, almost a century has passed since that incident, and you still hate him?" Lin Yu found it funny. In his mind, Jordan was a king, full of domineering aura, but he didn't expect that the real Jordan was a small-minded person.
"Hate? Why should I hate a loser? I just simply hate him."
"Don't get so close to him in the future. We are partners and we should unite the front." Jordan continued.
Lin Yu was speechless. This guy was not only a petty person, but also a jealous one. After hearing what Jordan said, those who didn't know thought he and Lin Yu were a couple, so that Lin Yu would stop having sex outside in the future.
…
After playing against the Raptors, Ricky Davis' suspension expired. Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The team's lineup finally looked less shabby.
The next game was against the Dallas Mavericks. Lin Yu directly put Ricky Davis into the starting lineup and bound the peak aura to him.
In the past, because the Golden Five had all entered their prime, the peak aura was of little use to them. Later, this wave of 1998 rookies had too many and they couldn't get much playing time, so it didn't matter whether they were at their peak or not. That is, before the transaction, Lin Yu will let them enjoy the peak halo.
Now that Ricky Davis is back from suspension, it is a good opportunity to trade him.
Even Pierce and Carter can only serve as water cooler caretakers in Lin Yu's hands at the moment, and Ricky Davis of this caliber can only be traded away.
During this period, several of his father's players were put into the starting lineup. Lin Yu successfully gained two points of charm points and already has 59 points of charm points. If he can capture Ricky Davis, Lin Yu will continue to do so. Get a reward.
Because he is suspended, Lin Yu's random aura cannot be used, but the peak aura is a permanent aura and can still take effect.
The game on the court began. Ricky Davis was an expressive person. After coming on the court, he took the initiative to approach the Mavericks' scoring leader Michael Finley.
Ricky Davis in his peak period was also a first-class shooting guard. His height of 198 centimeters did not suffer at all against Finley.
And he also has an advantage that Finley does not have, which is good defensive strength.
It's not a first-line defense, but it's much better than Finley.
Finley is known as the poor man's version of Jordan, and he is poor for a reason. The first is his defense. The gap between him and Jordan is simply a cloud. The second is personality. He is currently the scoring leader of the Mavericks team and is also the captain of the Mavericks. It's a pity that there is no trace of leadership in him.
Finley is the only player in NBA history to be relieved of his captaincy. In addition, he is also the only player in NBA history to be bought out in his prime.
The position of captain generally has no real power and is just a name. As long as the player is not traded or retired, the captain's name will be retained. However, Finley cannot keep a name like this...
"Uh-huh!"
After Davis pushed away Finley, he made a strong shot and scored two points.
When it comes to the Mavericks' offensive round, it stands to reason that Finley, as the leader of the Mavericks, should be able to fight back.
However, after his teammate passed the ball to Finley, he actually passed the ball out again.
Lin Yu glanced at Old Nelson on the sidelines, and it was obvious that there was deep dissatisfaction on Old Nelson's face.
A cowardly soldier can lead to a den of raging beasts. The leader of the team is such a Buddhist player, and the helmsman of any team cannot be satisfied.
What makes Nelson even more dissatisfied is that Finley was at a disadvantage in the head-to-head confrontation with Ricky Davis.
That was a new guy who was at the bottom of the first round. Finley couldn't beat him. The more Nelson thought about it, the angrier he became.
Seeing Ricky Davis getting more and more courageous, Nash began to tilt all the ball rights into his hands. By the end of the first half, Ricky Davis actually scored 21 points.
On the other hand, Finley only scored 8 points.
Of course, the leading team must still be the Mavericks. The Wizards don't even have a frontcourt, and the basket has been completely beaten by Bradley.
Tonight's big-ass Bradley is even more O'Neal than O'Neal. He is alone at the basket. As long as he has the ball in his hand, he can immediately stand on tiptoes and complete dunks. The Wizards have no way to deal with him.
After one quarter of the second half, Nelson replaced Finley and Bradley. Because the Mavericks led by 27 points, the game was over for the Wizards.
The whole world knows that Lin Yu is a lunatic. This is the home court of the Wizards. If the Wizards are tortured too ugly, there is no guarantee that Lin Yu will not go crazy, so Nelson wisely let the game enter garbage time.
In addition, Nelson still admires Lin Yu. After all, Lin Yu gave Nowitzki to the Mavericks in the previous draft.
Finley's exit was not a good thing for Ricky Davis, because in the next game, he directly faced Mavericks forward Gary Trent.
NBA history has quite a few father-son players, and even grandfather-grandson players. For example, Joe Caldwell, who was at the same time as Chamberlain, his son had no basketball talent and failed to enter the league, but his two grandsons all entered the NBA. , the eldest grandson is Marvin Bagley III, the second overall pick in 2018.
However, this kind of combination of grandfather and grandson is rare after all, and there are quite a few father-son players.
However, in these father-son combinations, either the father is too strong and the son is too weak, such as Payton and his son, Ewing and his son, and the red giant Walton and his son, or the son is too strong and the father is too weak, such as Kobe and his son, Jaren- Jackson and his son, Curry and his son, etc.
The only two fathers and sons who are truly equal and do well together are Klay Thompson and Gary Trent.
Trent is not an All-Star, but his strength is not bad and he has always been the core strength of the team. His son, Trent Jr., is also a powerful player who is very familiar to later generations of fans.
Ricky Davis, who scored 20+ points in the first half, scored 12 points in the second half. He scored a total of 33 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, which is quite good data.
After the game, Lin Yu also triggered Ricky Davis' favorability task.
His favorability task is very, very simple, that is to get a triple-double...
Lin Yu was amused. Ricky Davis was nicknamed "Ricky from the wrong basket" because he wanted to get a triple-double, threw the ball to his own basket, wanted to grab a rebound to make up a triple-double, and finally gave He did it, but unfortunately the league also canceled his triple-double.
This was not the only triple-double tragedy in his career. After that triple-double was cancelled, Ricky Davis got another chance to score a triple-double a year later, in the 2003-04 season. He scored 9 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, but he couldn't get anything at the last point.
He was playing for the Cavaliers at the time, and the leader of the team was James. How could Ricky Davis fire endlessly? In the end, he almost cried on the sidelines...
Later, there were 10 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, 28 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists, 18 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists and other near-triple-doubles.
In his 12-year career, he had seven or eight similar near-triple-doubles with just one final kick, but he never had a serious triple-double.
What's wrong with him? He's just a poor kid trying to get a triple-double...
"Hey, Ricky, you played well tonight, I'm going to reward you in the next game."
Lin Yu called Ricky Davis to his side and said with a smile.
"Really? Boss, are you going to let me get a quadruple-double? Or let me score 60 points in a single game?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Ricky Davis has a simple mind and no scheming, otherwise he would not have been able to say the Bible sentence "I thought the team selected James to assist me."
Lin Yu's back was sweating. This guy really dares to think about it. Three pairs is a lifelong dream for you. You still want four pairs?
"Let's try three pairs first. Four pairs depends too much on luck." Lin Yu said helplessly.
Ricky Davis was overjoyed, "A triple-double is okay, boss, as long as I can get a triple-double, you can let me clean the toilets at your house for a year!"
"Boss, actually you should have given me a chance to start."
"My strength is not worse than that of Kobe and Tracy, which means they entered the league earlier than me. Otherwise, it would not be me assisting them, but them assisting me!"
When he said this, Ricky Davis showed strong confidence on his face.
Lin Yu was speechless for this kid, "Ricky, promise me that the word assist will be eliminated from your dictionary forever."
"Never say the word assist again in this life."
Ricky Davis was obedient and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, as long as I can get a triple-double, the boss will let me be a mute for the rest of my life."
…
The next game is against the New York Knicks.
Before the game started, little Van Gundy ran up to Lin Yu.
"Lin, sell Latrell to us. He has been suspended again. Your current lineup really doesn't need him. Let him come to our Knicks. At least he can guarantee his playing time."
Little Van Gundy is still thinking about the Madman.
Lin Yu looked at little Van Gundy, and suddenly thought of the old saying, if you have no flesh on your cheeks, the kid will be harder to fight. Little Van Gundy is a typical kid with no flesh on his cheeks, and he is really tougher than the kid.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu nodded. It was really not a problem for him to keep the madman all this time. He was just delaying the madman.
Lin Yu was very grateful to the madman for this fight with Jazz. He did not want to continue to waste the madman's youth.
Since Van Gundy Jr. is so sincere, he might as well just sell it to the Knicks. Anyway, under normal circumstances, the Madman would indeed be traded to the New York Knicks.
"Okay, but you need to agree to two conditions."
"Lin, just say whatever you want. As long as the conditions are not too extreme, I can make the decision and agree to it."
Little Van Gundy looked overjoyed. As soon as he heard Lin Yu's words, he knew that Lin Yu was about to relent.
"The first condition is that I want your second-round pick and Larry Johnson. This is the bargaining chip for trading Latrell. Isn't it too much?"
Lin Yu first talked about the price of the trading madman. The price was indeed not excessive at all, and he didn't even ask for a first-round pick.
The Knicks have a record of goaltending in the playoffs this year, and their next first-round pick should be around 17th overall, not too high or too low.
Lin Yu wants his aunt, and if he wants a first-round pick, the Knicks probably won't be able to give it to him. At least Van Gundy Jr. can't make the decision, but if he only needs a second-round pick, then Van Gundy Jr. can make the decision.
"Not too much! Of course not too much!"
"Lin, I can make the decision and agree to this deal."
"You really have a good eye. Although Larry's current style is not suitable for today's league, his fighting ability is absolutely strong. If you meet the Jazz again in the future, Larry can defeat Malone!"
Little Van Gundy gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.
In fact, that was not what he was thinking. He thought that Aunt was in Lin Yu's Death Note, and Lin Yu traded Aunt to destroy her.
But of course he couldn't say such words. Knowing that Lin Yu wanted to destroy his players, he sold the players to Lin Yu. Isn't that a beast?
Little Van Gundy simply pretended to be dumbfounded.
In fact, he was right. Lin Yu wanted Big Mom just for the sake of Jazz. Since Big Ben left, Lin Yu has few strong men that he can beat.
"What about the second condition?"
Lin Yu sighed. If it weren't for that little charm, Lin Yu would be embarrassed to say this.
"Do me a favor tonight and let my guy Ricky Davis get a triple-double."
After all, Lin Yu felt very ashamed. If he was asking for a quadruple-double or a high score of 60 points, it would be understandable.
Right now it's just a triple-double, and it's really shameful that I have to talk specifically about it.
Little Van Gundy was confused. He never thought that Lin Yu would make such a condition. He thought it would be some excessive request.
"Lin, this is not a condition. We are brothers. Even if you don't sell Latrell to us, as long as you open your mouth, can I still not help you?"
"God, you are such a good coach. They are right, you treat your players so well." Little Van Gundy smiled with his mouth as wide as his waistband.
The trading madman went much smoother than he expected. It means that the Knicks only need to spend a worthless second-round pick to get a first-class forward and guard swingman who is in his peak period.
…
The game on the court began, and Van Gundy directly put all Ewing's powerful players on the bench.
Ewing looked puzzled, but after whispering to Van Gundy, he was also confused. After playing basketball for so many years, this was the first time he heard that someone regarded a triple-double as a condition of trade.
But this is a good thing for the Knicks, and Ewing certainly has no reason to refuse.
Ricky Davis on the next court was like a rebounding god, rebounding one after another, and he had already recorded 11 rebounds before halftime.
Lin Yu also thought it was too outrageous and quickly asked him to focus on assists.
After the game, Ricky Davis left the field with 37 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists.
This is Ricky Davis's two consecutive games with 30+ points, and Lin Yu feels it's almost time to sell him.
