Chapter 103: Tonight, Let's Shoot!
Staples, Grizzlies take on the Timberwolves on the road.
As the shortest-running team in the league, the Grizzlies' ancestors are indeed a little not wealthy, and if Wei Shao can stay there for a long time, he will definitely refresh all the statistics in the team.
The number of hits and mistakes, isn't it the first in casual team history?
Perhaps because of Lin Mu's outstanding performance on the court, Wei Shao was very excited from the moment he appeared on the court.
Like the Thunder, the Grizzlies are an extremely young team.
22-year-old Rudy Gayin, 23-year-old Marc Gasol, 21-year-old Mike Conley, plus 20-year-old Russell Westbrook, who was just drafted by the team this year.
As long as Mark Randolph takes the throne, this Grizzly team will become an emerging force to be reckoned with in the West after more baptisms.
Of course, that's just the future, and the current Grizzlies, like the Thunder, are a bottom-of-the-West team.
The fish belly team, young people are prevalent, this is an inappropriate upgrade mode for fighting monsters?
Rookie players are ready to take on the giant monster of the Lakers.
However, unfortunately...
In front of the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, the Grizzlies don't even have room to change hands.
Pau Gasol grabbed his brother's wool and made a step-back jumper at one moment and a frontal dry pull at the other.
The big white bear that hits with skillful inside offensive skills screams.
Bynum was even more excessive, relying on his height, long arms, thick blood and high armor, and crazy buckles on the inside, Gai Yin became his crotch revenant.
Of course, these are not the worst, our Wei Shao is completely collapsed under Kobe's defense!
Remember Kobe Bryant's record in his debut?
In the first game against the Suns, Bryant was given six minutes of playing time in the second game against the Timberwolves.
0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebound, 0 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover, 1 foul.
Shot 0 percent from the field and made one shot.
Among many superstar players, Kobe Bryant's debut record was extremely disastrous, and even created the most miserable opening performance among the 75 superstars.
And with the passage of time, Wei Shao on the field has become a little superior.
Very anxious and irritable!
Lin Mu scored such luxurious data at the beginning and was among the best in the player's debut.
Look at yourself again, after playing 24 minutes without scoring a point, Kobe's close defense annoyed Wei Shao, angrily brushed 5 turnovers, 4 fouls, and there was really not much time left for him!
Seeing that it is about to enter garbage time, do I want to score points in garbage time?
Disgrace!
It will be a nightmare that I will never forget for the rest of my life!
Thinking of his recent time, he didn't even dare to get his girlfriend to get started, just to overpower Lin Mu in the first game.
Don't talk about it now, I'm afraid that even Lefu in the bitter cold land can crush him!
It's not about the strength of the opponent, it's about how bad you are today.
Well, it's good that the Grizzly Bears don't know what Wei Shao is thinking at this time, otherwise everyone will definitely think that he is a deep well ice.
What's so special, obviously when I was watching the bucks play thunder in the locker room just now, it was you who cheered for Lin Mu, why are you the one who is angry now?
Fortunately, Kobe Bryant didn't make a dead shot tonight, and at the end of the third quarter, Wei Shao's zombie jumper finally hit.
"Crying Liao!"
Wei Shao was speechless, fortunately, when the main force on the opposite side did not end up, I shouldn't be counted as scoring points in garbage time, right?
Wei Shao smiled, and at this moment, his smile seemed to be full of sunshine.
Dozens of minutes later...
Milwaukee, in the locker room of the arena, Lin Mu just finished taking a shower when he saw Durant sitting in front of the TV laughing.
"Well, Lin, your little brother is so good, the Grizzly Bear will definitely regret trading him for Memphis with LeFou."
Although Durant doesn't know why his mood suddenly became happy, don't ask, ask is happy.
Wei Shao, what's wrong with you?
Isn't it just a game of bad shape, as for that?
No wonder the two of you were able to stick your mouth and spray wildly after changing teams in your previous life, as far as your psychological attitude is concerned, it is a little distorted.
"It's just one game, and the days to come are still long, so it's not necessarily how good you are better than him."
"Of course, you can taunt him as much as you like today, because he really sucks!"
Even Lin Mu smiled unconsciously.
However, there is one thing to say, Wei Shao's first experience was not bad, at least the score was much higher than that of Kobe's debut.
Although the plus/minus was the lowest in the game, this did not prevent Wei Shao from flying in garbage time.
"He should receive the old godmother's fried rice I sent in the next few days."
"Perhaps, he will be able to regain some form after eating."
How could it be possible to say that Lin Mu didn't care about Wei Shao?
Don't worry, little tortoise.
In a little while, I'll go to Memphis to save you!
Lin Mu has seen the schedule, some important games, or the fight with his good brothers, he knows it all.
knew that the Thunder would be a guest in Memphis at the end of next month, and when that time came, Lin Mu would give Wei Shao a "big gift".
What's more coincidental is that after watching Wei Shao's debut, Lefu, one of the three masters of UCLA, also ushered in his first round of the competition.
Luckily, Lefu did not move his nest, but sat at home against the Saramento Kings who came to challenge.
Compared with Wei Shao and Lin Mu, Lefu did not get the opportunity to start.
In the fourth position of the team, he is in front of Al Jefferson, who has already made a name for himself.
For Al Jefferson's impression, Lin Mu in his previous life was tightly stuck in the Lynx period.
At that time, Al Jefferson had an extremely outstanding record before the Bobcats changed their name, and while successfully being selected as an All-Star, he was also appreciated by many teams.
But with the advent of the small-ball era, players like Al Jefferson gradually began to be eliminated, and after two or three years, the former All-Star disappeared without a trace.
Fans may not be as impressed with Al Jefferson as they are, but there is one player that everyone must know very well.
Hibbert, the inside monster who once partnered with Paul George, the man who almost toppled LeBron James in the playoffs, was eliminated by the league in just two or three years after a wonderful performance, and became the object of no one's attention.
The advent of the small-ball era has brought opportunities to many players, but it has also put many players at risk of elimination.
Every era has different signs, and adaptability is extremely important if you want to survive.
In the past two decades, the most adaptable has been LeBron James.
Superhuman physical fitness can make him fight his way out of the era of blood.
From the former king of the interior, James crossed the impregnable Detroit Pistons, and then to the small-ball era, and launched a four-year showdown with the Golden State Warriors.
No matter what time of year he is, James is the center of attention on the basketball court.
It was because of Al Jefferson's presence that Love could only act as a substitute and played extremely efficient statistics in the 22 minutes he played.
With 15 points and 11 rebounds, Minnesota's second-generation wolf king is showing his absolute talent!
No longer that chubby little meat shield, Lefu has clearly become stronger.
After the game, Lefu called Lin Mu as soon as possible.
"See Russell's performance?"
“OH! That would be a disaster! ”
"It's him who is yelling to play, and he is the one who plays the most, I really didn't expect that my brother would be better than me!"
Happiness seems to be connected, Lin Mu and Le Fu happily hung up the phone, and both of them tacitly shielded Wei Shao, the man who was sulking in the locker room.
...
After the game against the Bucks, the Thunder rushed to the next venue, the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston.
In the opening three consecutive visits, Lin Mu wanted to scold people, even if the Thunder team was not treated by the league, they didn't need to be so targeted, right?
The second leg of the Eastern Tour, the Thunder will face the formidable Celtics.
This team brings together many veterans, and Lin Mu even saw the figure of Lao Ma in it.
If memory serves, this will be Lao Ma's last season in the NBA, and next year he will go to Huaxia to join the CBA Shanxi team, and then be abandoned to start his CBA legend journey.
For now, the old horse is in a bad situation.
The lone wolf of the 96 golden generation has been reduced to a dispensable role player, and his time is gone.
If Marbury's days in the NBA have come to an end, the Celtics' new core, Rajon Rondo, is gradually becoming the brains of this team.
Rondo, who became famous at a young age, inevitably has a little temper, and the irreconcilable contradiction between him and Ray Allen is about to explode.
This old green army has not had many good days.
...
On October 31, the Thunder in Boston will have a half-day off and practice in the afternoon.
Durant was dreaming when he was suddenly pulled off the bed brutally.
"Still sleeping?"
"Do you know what time it is?"
In the misty lake, he heard Lin Mu's voice.
"So, that's why you pulled me out of bed at four in the morning?"
Looking out the window in disbelief, Durant wanted to give Lin Mu two punches.
"The early birds get worms, and our training has begun!"
Because of the excellent performance in the first game, Durant, who wanted to be lazy, would never have thought that Lin Mu would find the front desk to open his door.
"Can I sue her?"
“NO! She's a charismatic loner who you can't bear to do. ”
"So, she couldn't bear to let you enter my room at four in the morning?"
Durant is a little angry, and he can't be treated differently.
"So, don't you want to train?"
Facing Lin Mulu's faint eyes, Durant couldn't say the word refusal.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared, I just want to maintain relationships with my teammates.
"Kevin, what does shooting feel like in your eyes?"
On the way, Lin Mu suddenly asked Durant.
Scott's words of encouragement still lingered in his ears, Lin Mu just wanted to rely on his usual training to slowly improve his shooting level, but the head coach's reminder seemed to let him see a new world.
Perhaps, shooting in combat is more efficient than training?
Lin Mu didn't try it, because human instinct would consciously let Lin Mu avoid his weaknesses on the court, and he had never had the idea of firing infinitely on the court.
"What does it feel like to shoot a basketball?"
For Lin Mu's question, Durant was a little surprised.
From the acquaintance to the present, Lin Mu in Durant's eyes seems to be omnipotent, and there is nothing he doesn't know.
But in fact, it seems that this is not the case.
"For me, shooting is like a life."
After a little thought, Durant replied in the affirmative.
"Life?"
Lin Mu didn't know why, what kind of feeling was this?
"It's like waking up in the morning and needing to poop, and I can find the feeling of shooting at any time."
"In my daily life, as long as I want to, I can experience the joy of shooting."
"Of course, life has its ups and downs, and shooting isn't static, sometimes it's going to be good, sometimes it's going to be bad, but I'm never going to give it up because it's always there for me."
Lin Mu opened his mouth, he couldn't believe that such words came from Durant's mouth.
Shooting is like life, and no matter how it becomes, it's an integral part of Durant.
Maybe just like Curry's three-point shot, no matter when and where, as long as the basketball is in his hands, he can shoot like a three-point life.
"So I shouldn't resist, just like the ups and downs of life, try to accept it, don't feel unacceptable because it is flawed now?"
Lin Mu, who has some feelings, seems to understand why Durant's shooting level can improve so quickly.
While you are talented, your mindset is also very important.
Just like Ben Simmons, who didn't shoot three-pointers, while fearing it, the three-pointers naturally left him.
After a morning of training, Durant lay beside Lin Mu like a dead dog, Lin Mu was still reminiscing about the shooting state on the court, three hours of shooting practice, although the effect was not good, but this time Lin Mu did not choose to give up, but persevered, and practiced for two hours.
"It feels okay, and the failure is not as hard to accept as I imagined."
Looking at Lin Mu's smiling face, Durant felt his terrifying physical energy.
Just after the game yesterday, he flew to Boston non-stop, got up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and after 6 hours of high-intensity training, he could still sit there calmly and smile.
Lin Mu, is it so durable?
I have to say that Durant is very envious!
...
On November 1, after the Thunder got off to a good start, they ushered in a fiasco.
At 98:83, they lost to Celtic on the road.
After adjusting his mentality, Lin Mu explained a sentence to fans all over the world: "Tonight, let's shoot hard!" ”
In response to the head coach's call, Lin Mu and Paul Pierce spent a night on the outside in this game.
The two set off a wave of shooting competition on the Boston Garden court, no matter what angle, Paul Pierce can accurately hit the bull's-eye, while Lin Mu's accuracy is a little worse, and he failed to find it several times, and the basketball can only be brushed out of the frame.
At this time, Uncle Pi has lost his combat effectiveness at his peak, but the name of attacking the kaleidoscope is not in vain.
Blocking James, facing Kobe Bryant in the Finals, before he was not fired for being a call girl, Uncle Pi's reputation did not have the stench he imagined.
As for the other giants of the Celtics, Garnett is still full of passion, and the defensive area in the limited time is extremely terrifying, and Durant does not take advantage of Garnett at all, and completely lacks the style in the first game.
The gentleman sword Lei Allun was not soft at all when facing his old club who had changed his skin, and he killed with a three-point cloud piercing arrow, which gave Sephorosa a headache.
The expected loss, in the face of the Celtics, who are ranked one of the best in the East, the Thunder did not have the frustration they imagined.
Lin Mu shot 8 of 22, single-handedly pulling down the team's shooting rate by five percentage points, and the Thunder team, which had a low shooting rate, made matters worse, and could be called one of the undercover agents tonight.
"It's a pity, there are no side quests, so it's really a bit unexciting."
It is worth mentioning that in the Celtics' post-game press conference, Ray Allen gave Lin Mu's performance very affirmation.
'He's very good defensively and very good judgment on the pitch.
"If you can improve the shooting efficiency, Lin Mu's performance will surprise everyone."
His own teammates all praised him so much, and Pierce, who beat Lin Mu one-on-one, naturally gave affirmation.
"I'm very excited to fight him and I'm looking forward to the next fight."
For Lin Mu's shooting level, Scott had a clear understanding for the first time.
I can't say that it's a little bad, I can only say that there is a lot of room for improvement!
It doesn't matter, there is nothing else in this season's Thunder, and there are opportunities for you to shoot, that is everywhere!
So, in the back-to-back games against the Detroit Pistons on the second day, Lin Mu opened everyone's eyes!
