Popovich's face was ashen. He never dreamed that two miracles that could be recorded in NBA history would be born to the Spurs at the same time.
But he couldn't blame anyone, because if he hadn't been overly cautious, the Wizards would never have had the chance to create a miracle.
If he loses to the Wizards in their prime, he won't have any uncomfortable thoughts in his heart. After all, the Wizards are the defending champions.
However, what they lost was the Wizards, who were as disabled as a human pig. This was enough for the Wizards to establish an absolute psychological advantage over the Spurs. If the two sides really met in the finals in the future, he could not imagine how high the Wizards' morale could be.
I'm afraid the momentum alone can overwhelm the Spurs!
During the handshake session after the game, Lin Yu and Popovich shook hands as a courtesy, and the two did not say anything more.
When he arrived at Duncan's place, Lin Yu had a bad taste in his heart. He took Deng's dumb hand and smiled: "Don't be depressed, Tim, the future will definitely belong to you."
Deng Daidai's expression was dull. He couldn't tell what the purpose of Lin Yu's words was, to humiliate himself? It doesn't look like it.
"Jalen, how are you doing recently? Are you used to it now that you're with the Spurs?" When the handshake came to Jaren Jackson, Lin Yu patted the elder Jackson on the shoulder and greeted him.
In any case, this is also his old player. Although the relationship between the two was short-lived, it only lasted less than half a season.
"Boss, players like us are the same wherever we go. We don't have to worry about whether we are used to it or not."
"My family is still in Washington. I originally planned to visit you this offseason, but I was worried that you would be too busy." Old Jackson smiled shyly.
Lin Yu looked towards him. At the back of the auditorium, there was a young woman sitting with a baby in her arms. She was the wife and child of old Jackson.
"What do I have to do? You can come to me anytime and we can smoke cigars and taste wine like old friends."
"That's your son, Jaren, right? I feel like he's a good prospect. He will be a stronger man than you in the future."
"wait."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he went straight to the bench on the sidelines and took out a Rolex from his briefcase.
Now that they have had so many godsons, there is not much Jaren Jackson left. This kid will be a super inside defensive gate in the future and a powerful center at the DPOY level.
And having witnessed the birth of two miracles at the same time tonight, Lin Yu was in a good mood. He couldn't bear to spend money on such a festive day.
"You were traded by Wes at that time, and I learned the news too late."
"We are still old friends, so we are qualified to be your boy's godfather, right?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile, frantically slamming the shit basin on poor Unseld's head.
Old Jackson's pupils were dilated, and he felt as if he was dreaming. He just thought that Lin Yu was just greeting him politely, and he praised his son casually.
This kind of thing is extremely common in interpersonal communication and is universal.
However, looking at Lin Yu's attitude, it seemed that he really felt that his son was talented, so he took the initiative to adopt him as his godson.
He had also heard before that Lin Yu had accepted many second-generation football players as godsons, and he was extremely envious. It was not that he envied them for getting a Rolex, which was only worth a few dollars.
Lin Yu is no longer what he used to be. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most powerful men in the NBA.
I remember back then, Unseld told Lin Yu that there were a few people in the NBA who must not be messed with. Now Lin Yu has become this type of person and has become a person who must never be messed with.
With such a big shot godfather, even if his son has a little bit of basketball talent, it will definitely be much easier for him to enter the NBA in the future. If his talent is a little better, he will definitely be reused, and he will definitely not be like me, doing nothing all his life.
"Boss, this is that child's honor!"
"I will train him well. He will definitely become your most effective player in the future. If he dares not to play for you, I will break his legs!" Old Jackson said with a trembling voice.
Lin Yu laughed and handed the Rolex in his hand to the old Jackson, "Okay, then you have to train him well. In another twenty years, I will count on him to be my official center."
…
Irving, Love, Jerami Grant, Matthews Jr., the Curry brothers, Jaren Jackson Jr. is already Lin Yu’s seventh godson.
Seeing Lin Yu giving a Rolex to Jaren Jackson, the Wizards probably didn't know what was going on.
Jordan is scratching his head, what is the problem? Why does Lin Yu look down on his two sons? Are his sons not as talented as these sons with rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs?
envy! It must be jealousy! Lin Yu also has two sons. He must be jealous that his son is more talented than his son!
Jordan could only comfort himself in this way.
Compared with Jordan, the ball dad was even more shameless. He actually trotted directly to Lin Yu.
"Boss, I also have a son..." Dad Qiu said, licking his face.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes, "Then what? You old boy has no conscience. I have never seen any gratitude to me in you."
Dad Qiu looked confused. Can such a thing be seen with the naked eye?
In fact, he can really do it. Others can't, but Lin Yu can, because the favorability of the old boy, the father of the ball, has never been full, even if Lin Yu has been given the starting two games.
Other father players are already grateful to Lin Yu even if they are just mentioned on the activation list.
"Boss, this is a huge misunderstanding. How could I not be grateful to you?"
"Of course, if you can accept my son as your godson, I will definitely be more grateful to you, just like I am grateful to my mother for giving me life." Daddy Ball's face is really thicker than the Great Wall.
When Lin Yu heard this, he thought that the opportunity to increase the favorability of the football dad might have come. Even if it was not the opportunity, he would only lose two Rolexes at most.
"Well, since you said so, let's accept it."
"But let's make an agreement first. I will only accept your eldest son and your youngest son. Let's forget about the second son."
Lin Yu wanted to laugh when he thought of Erqiu. Jordan's second son, Erqiao, stole from his aunt. Erqiu went to Tianchao to steal things. The key skills were still poor. He was arrested on the spot. It was a shame to be thrown into his grandma's house.
Dad Qiu was confused. He stretched his head and looked at Lin Yu blankly, "Boss, what are you talking about?"
"I only have two sons, not three."
Lin Yu patted his forehead and then remembered that San Qiu was not born yet, so he couldn't help but said, "Then wait until your third son is born."
Dad Qiu was wondering, why didn't he accept his second son? He obviously accepted the two sons of the old Curry family, but unfortunately he did not dare to ask Lin Yu for fear of offending Lin Yu's taboos.
After taking the Rolex from Lin Yu, Dad Qiu grinned wildly.
His smile was seen by Jordan, who almost fainted on the spot. Even when he was bullied by the Bad Boys, Jordan didn't feel aggrieved now.
He could only continue to comfort himself. Lin Yu was jealous that his son was more talented.
…
After four consecutive home games, the road trip is about to begin. Kobe will return in one game.
It's a pity that Lin Yu is still suspended. He shouted a few words on the sidelines of his home court, which is still reasonable. If he goes to the away game, then what is the meaning of his suspension, so Lin Yu can only stay in Washington.
After playing four away games, they lost the first game. In the second game, Kobe came back and won. In the third game against the SuperSonics, they lost again. In the fourth game, Carter came back and the Wizards beat the Cavaliers. The record of two wins and two losses is still good. It's okay.
After eight games, Dazhi's suspension also expired.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult period for the Wizards was over, and the next days would be much easier.
With Dazhi back, Lin Yu finally has two serious insiders in his hands, and there is no need for McGrady to take over the fourth position.
The next home game is against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The 76ers team has a shadow on Lin Yu. Not only did Larry Brown get beaten up by Lin Yu on the sidelines, but a deal made by the 76ers general manager Snow was also ruined by Lin Yu.
Many 76ers fans are extremely regretful. If Lin Yu hadn't interfered, and they could have traded a second-round pick from the SuperSonics for Snow, then this 76ers would definitely have a chance of making the playoffs, instead of what they are now. Half dead.
Snow had a quadruple-double of steals as soon as he arrived in Lin Yu's hands. After being traded to Green Kai, he became the absolute core of the backcourt. His defensive and organizational skills were almost a natural partner of Iverson.
After Larry Brown left, his replacement as head coach was Maurice Cheeks.
Cheeks is a famous star of the 76ers, nicknamed Little Mo. Later, he passed on the nickname to the Bucks. The No. 10 jersey was retired by the 76ers. No matter how the outside world evaluates Lin Yu's beating of Larry Brown, at least he is I have to thank Lin Yu.
If it weren't for Lin Yu, how could he be crowned the Dabao?
"Lin, you really put together an incredible team."
"Even if half of the players are still suspended, your Wizards definitely have hope of winning the championship."
Cheeks took the initiative to come up to Lin Yu to say hello. It was obvious that he wanted to have a relationship with Lin Yu.
"Mo, I heard that the coaches union's election meeting will be held in New York tomorrow night?" Lin Yu affectionately called Cheeks by his nickname.
Cheeks actually retired in 1993. His qualifications in the coaching profession may not be much higher than Lin Yu's.
Cheeks nodded with a smile on his face and said: "That's right, Lin, are you going? We just don't have a game tomorrow, how about we fly directly to New York together tomorrow morning?"
After saying this, he suddenly remembered, no, wasn't Lin Yu expelled from the coaches union?
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Okay, let's go to New York together tomorrow. I just have something to deal with."
"You have to help me hold up the scene when the time comes, old man."
Cheeks's heart was filled with confusion. Good guy, what is Lin Yu going to do? Is this going to cause a fuss at the coaches union election meeting?
He couldn't help but look forward to it. Who would have thought? You also have the opportunity to be a participant in such a big event.
"Don't worry, Lin, no matter what happens, I will definitely be on your side." Cheeks smiled.
His attitude towards Lin Yu was very respectful. If he said it harshly, it would be fine if he said it was flattering.
It's not that Cheeks was born a dog licker, but he had a last resort. Iverson didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. He talked about Lin Yu in the locker room every day. Whenever he mentioned Lin Yu, it was like taking a shot of chicken blood. The corners of his mouth were raised, like a silly boy falling in love.
Cheeks is really afraid that one day Iverson will be kidnapped by Lin Yu and run away, then his job as a coach will almost be over.
The most valuable star in the team ran away during your tenure. If not you, who will be killed?
In addition, Cheeks saw that countless teams have benefited from Lin Yu, and he also wanted to try hugging Lin Yu's thigh. If Lin Yu is in a good mood, trade a player to them and give them to the 76ers, and the 76ers will take off directly. , he is also a great coach.
The two chatted for a long time, almost to the point where they felt like they had just met each other late. It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle to start the game that they hugged each other and returned to the bench.
"Boss, that boy is not a good guy. Don't let him lie to you."
After the players came on the field, Lao Qiao whispered in Lin Yu's ear.
Lin Yu looked at Lao Qiao curiously, "What? Did you fight with him when you were playing ball?"
"Fight? Who dares to fight with them? They are full of bad guys, so bad that they ooze pus."
"You know about Julius beating Bird, right?" Old Joe's voice was still very low, not sure if he was afraid of being heard by Cheeks.
Lin Yu nodded. He knew about this. Dr. J. Julius Erving was the first truly commercial superstar in the NBA. Everyone knew about the battle between him and Bird.
There is nothing to say about the fight between these two people. Bird's bad mouth can make Dr. J angry no matter how good his temper is. The two of them strangled each other's necks, which became a classic scene in the NBA.
But then Barkley joined the battle group. He ran behind Bird and choked Bird directly, and then shouted "Don't fight, don't fight." Bird was almost strangled to death. He shouted "Don't fight." Dr. J took the opportunity to punch Bird in the face.
At that time, in addition to Dr. J and Barkley, the 76ers also included Moses Malone, Cheeks and Andrew Tony, nicknamed the "Boston Strangler."
This is a team of kings, who are top players in both playing and fighting.
However, they were not as blatantly bad as the later Pistons Bad Boys. They were shady, and Barkley always liked to take the opportunity to beat his opponents during fights.
"At that time, Barkley choked Bird, and Cheeks was right there choking Bird. It's true, I swear it's true."
"I heard that half of Bird's head was missing because he was pinched by Cheeks. If you don't believe it, just take a look at Bird someday and you will know."
Old Qiao seemed to be telling some great secret, his voice was like a gnat, and it took a lot of effort for Lin Yu to understand.
Lin Yu was speechless. This thing sounds too outrageous, right? And where can I verify the authenticity of this matter? I can't let Bird take off his shirt and stare at others, right?
Well, it seemed to be worth seeing, and Lin Yu's curiosity was aroused.
Lin Yu quite enjoyed chatting with Lao Qiao on the sidelines. From his mouth, he often heard some secrets that had not been spread to the outside world. He just didn't know whether they were true or not, and he didn't know if they were made up by Lao Qiao, but they sounded very exciting. .
The game on the court has begun. The starting lineup sent by Lin Yu tonight is Auntie, Dazhi, McGrady, Kobe and Nash. There is also old Curry on the bench. Lin Yu can finally put together a lineup. A decent first start.
When Lin Yu saw the Philadelphia 76ers' starting lineup, he couldn't help but become happy.
He actually saw Teilon Hill again.
A few days ago, the old Hill played in the Bucks, and then Lin Yu made a deal with the Bucks and sold Lewis to the old Karl. With Tiantian, who wants Mrs. Niu, and the old Hill was changed hands by the old Karl. Sold to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Every time he met the Wizards, Hill always felt frightened. Ma Jian's slap in the face last season often gave him nightmares.
Being slapped by Oakley is not really a shame. After all, Oakley is one of the four evil people, and Ma Jian is nothing, just a nobody. Being slapped by such a person is definitely a huge shame.
After finally getting out of the shadows, he was still wandering because of Lin Yu's casual deal before he was warmed up by the Bucks.
He hated Lin Yu and the Wizards so much that his teeth itched with hatred. Unfortunately, he was very timid and didn't even dare to look at Lin Yu for fear that Lin Yu would see the hatred in his heart.
Da Zhi succeeded in jumping the ball, Nash controlled the ball to the front court and handed the ball to Da Zhi.
Da Zhi glanced at Te'Lon Hill in front of him, who was much shorter than him, and simply made a mid-range shot.
Two points easily obtained.
The aunt clapped her hands and applauded, "Well done, young man, make good use of your height. If I were as tall as you, I could dominate the league for at least ten years."
He actually didn't lie. If he was given a height of 216 centimeters, his aunt would definitely become his eldest father, the eldest father of Jordan and the four major centers.
When Dazhi saw his aunt talking to him, he quickly waved his hands and said in English, "I'm sorry, I don't understand..."
His English is still not good, just like Daba last season, simple communication is OK, but Dazhi can't understand what Auntie said for such a long time.
The aunt waved her hand, "It's okay."
Then the two began to return to defense. Teilon Hill was ecstatic and his eyebrows were so happy that they exploded.
Wang Zhizhi doesn’t speak English? ! I'm going to take it out on you tonight!
The last time he felt that he had miscalculated, he spat trash talk at Ma Jian. As a result, Ma Jian played a lot of football in the United States and his English was very good.
This time Dazhi didn’t understand English at all, why didn’t he just spray it casually? You definitely can't win a fight, and you can't win a ball, so you can only vent your anger by swearing.
In the following time, every time Da Zhi scored a goal, Te'lon Hill would curse in a low voice. He was still reasonable and did not curse loudly, nor did he use any international curse words. He just picked some. Black slang for swearing.
How could Da Zhi understand it? He thought he had met a psychotic player who liked to talk to himself.
At the end of the first quarter, Dazhi received the offensive rebound that his aunt had just grabbed, raised his hand and made a mid-range shot, and he hit it easily.
This is the fifth time Da Zhi has succeeded in a single against Te'lon Hill in the first quarter, and he has already scored 10 points.
Old Hill was so angry that he cursed a little louder.
He never expected that the aunt had a pair of dog ears and heard his curse directly.
Before Old Hill could react, the aunt rushed forward with her short legs and locked Old Hill's arm with a grapple.
This scene is almost exactly the same as the last time the bus locked up Old Hill.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
The aunt looked furious and shouted at Da Zhi.
Seeing Da Zhi's confused look, Auntie became even more anxious. She let go of one hand and made a slap gesture towards her face.
Old Hill's face turned green, is there something fucking wrong with you? Do you like slapping me so much?
Only then did Dazhi understand what Auntie meant. He was a smart man. He quickly figured out what happened and his expression suddenly changed.
To say that among the Chinese players in the NBA, Da Zhi probably ranks first among the Chinese players with the worst temper. He is really hot-tempered and can get angry easily.
He thought that the old black man he was facing was talking to himself, but he didn't expect that he scolded him for a full ten minutes!
"etc!"
"Can you please stop slapping me in the face?"
Old Hill tried to break free from Auntie's grasp, but unfortunately Auntie's strong arms could not break free so easily. He could only beg for mercy in a pitiful whisper.
However, he overlooked one thing, that is, Dazhi couldn't understand what he said.
"Pah!" Da Zhi started to twitch, not just once, but three times in a row, both front and backhand.
Ma Jian didn't dare to hit him at that time. If the bus hadn't yelled at him to hit him, he wouldn't have dared to do it. After all, he was just a fringe player.
However, Da Zhi is different. He has an extremely bright future. Just relying on his offensive ability is enough to ensure that he can gain a foothold in the NBA. He has a hot temper, so of course he will be ruthless.
Teilon Hill was about to cry but had no tears. He really had no shame in living. He was slapped by three different people. Who could bear this?
It doesn't hurt, it just hurts, it hurts my heart...
Lin Yu stood on the sidelines and didn't know what was going on, but seeing this posture, it was obvious that Teilon Hill's mouth was bad again.
He suddenly remembered a foreign word - the broken window effect.
After a window is broken, if it is not repaired, the hole will get bigger and bigger. Old Hill completely explained the broken window effect. When he was slapped by Old Oakley, if he could fight back bravely, even if he was beaten Even if Oakley gave him a beating, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
Lin Yu smacked his lips and sighed secretly that he was really literate...
