Chapter 38: Bloodbath of the Miami Heat
There was a lot of reporters in the audience, and they certainly didn't come for tonight's game against the Bucks.
The Bullets' next game is against the Heat.
Lin Yu previously said that only the Bulls deserve to be their opponent for bullets, and then it triggered a series of verbal cannons, especially Ray Jackson's bombardment of Riley before the All-Star weekend, which made headlines for two days in a row.
Riley didn't make any counterattack on this, and with what the reporters knew about Riley, he certainly couldn't have suffered this dumb loss.
The next bullet against the Heat can be described as a narrow road, no matter who wins, it is full of topical news.
If the bullet wins, it proves that Lin Yu didn't blow the air, and the bullet took out the heat under his leadership, isn't it just that the bulls are worthy of being their opponents?
And if the Heat wins, it will be very lively, can Riley's temperament be retributive and let Lin Yu go? I'm afraid I'll have to tear it up myself this time.
No matter which side wins, there is sure to be a good show.
"Lin, you have a game against the Heat this Thursday, are you sure about this game?"
A reporter was given the opportunity to ask a question and got up to ask Lin Yudao.
"Are you sure? Man, you should cherish your opportunity to ask questions and give you another chance. ”
"You should ask me if I'm sure I'm going to put the Heat in garbage time, and I'm 100% sure!"
Lin Yu said with a chuckle, his face full of disdain for the heat.
He himself is not prejudiced against the Heat, and even he doesn't know what he offended Riley now, and the last time he fought with Riley was completely defensive counterattack.
But Webber was targeted in the All-Star Game, which made Lin Yu extremely unhappy, and in the face of Riley, who was wearing a mask and smelling shameless, Lin Yu decided to take the initiative and said that he had to give Webber this bad breath.
In addition, Big Ben's four pairs also need to provoke Mourning.
Anyway, Lin Yu had 10,000 reasons for him to fire at the press conference.
Hearing that Lin Yu said that he was completely sure that he would beat the Heat to surrender, the reporters looked at each other, Lin Yu was too arrogant, even the bull didn't dare to say that he would beat the Heat into garbage time.
"Coach Lin, I appreciate your confidence."
"But the Heat is second in the East, you are only seventh in the East, and the difference in strength is huge......"
The reporter's words were interrupted by Lin Yu's hand, "What's wrong with the seventh in the east?" ”
"Is it possible that we deliberately kept seventh in the East? Because then we can play the Heat in the first round of the playoffs and send them straight to fishing? ”
Lin Yu is actually just talking nonsense, the Bullets just climbed to seventh in the East two days ago, and they are talking about maintaining seventh.
However, these words were indeed very lethal, and they shocked the reporters to speechlessness.
The reporters didn't think Lin Yu was arrogant this time, but they just felt that he was very scientific research, and no one in NBA history had ever said such innovative trash talk about him.
Controlling the record just to take out the Heat in the first round of the playoffs? It's really a shame that Lin Yu can say it.
"I know you still don't believe bullets can crush the heat, and now I'm going to tell you where your confidence comes from."
"Big Ben! That's right, my self-confidence comes from Big Ben! ”
"The core of the Heat's offense and defense is Morning, as long as Mourning is locked, why should the Heat win our bullets?"
"And Da Ben is Mo Ning's nemesis, and he is an all-round crushing of Mo Ning!"
Lin Yutu saw the dagger and began to point the finger at Mo Ning.
The reporters burst into laughter, Big Ben was able to crush Mourning? They admit that Big Ben's recent performance has been excellent, but to crush Mourning is absolutely wishful thinking, and no center in this league dares to say such a thing, not even O'Neal.
Big Ben was still holding a grudge and spraying Lin Yu's clown, and seeing the reporters in the audience laughing, he directly grabbed the microphone in front of Lin Yu.
"Monin, are you ready?"
"You can only type out a comical stat in front of me on Thursday night, as funny as a clown."
Big Ben originally wanted to emulate Mark Strickland's humorous mocking style, but unfortunately he didn't have that humorous cell, gritting his teeth and putting on a straight face, not like he wanted to make Mourning a clown, but more like he wanted to kill Mourning.
The reporters are satisfied, the game has not started yet, the Bullets are full of gunpowder, and now it is up to the Heat to respond.
……
Early the next morning, Lin Yu asked Bernie to practice the players' blocking tactics, and he went to the general manager's office.
"Good boy, you always surprise me."
"What the hell do you say you have in this brain, deliberately seventh in the East, in order to eliminate the Heat in the first round? Brilliant trash talk. ”
"Are you really sure you'll win the Heat?"
Unseld was very happy, but he was still faintly worried in his heart, afraid that if he lost to the Heat at that time, he would become the laughing stock of the whole league.
"Absolutely certain, there is no possibility of losing."
"I can't even think of how I can lose to the Heat."
Lin Yu exuded a strong sense of confidence, which reassured Unselde a lot.
It's not that Lin Yu is blindly arrogant, but he has carefully studied the Heat's lineup, and if there is a team in the league today, it can only be their Washington Bullets.
The Heat's backcourt lineup is Tim Hardaway plus Sasha Danilovic, which is the same chip that Riley was ready to use to trade Marshburn with the Mavericks.
The style of the ball is almost the same as that of the legs, both of whom are projection white quarterbacks with little athletic ability.
Tim Hardaway is also a typical small point guard with a strong offense and weak defense, don't look at the speeding car from time to time to make people scum, but he has never lost against Tim Hardaway by relying on his height and athleticism.
When the Bullets played the Hornets before, the backcourt offense was extremely efficient, and the Heat's backcourt defensive intensity was not much stronger than that of the Hornets.
The Heat's No. 3 position is Dan Marley, a 198-centimeter-tall white guard swingman, who was good at his peak and had a high shooting percentage, but as he gets older, his current athleticism is no longer able to shake off defenders, and his shooting percentage has plummeted.
Not to mention that it is not the peak Marley, even if it is the peak, Lin Yu is sure that Mashburn can teach him to be a man.
The Heat's No. 4 position is the defensive titan PJ Brown, and he is also a well-known villain in the league, who dares to smash the Knicks players over his shoulder in front of the old ghost in New York.
However, his unique skills are only useful under the basket, and his defensive ability is mainly reflected in the basket, and his defense is not a concern in the face of Webb's outside play.
Then there is the big book against Mo Ning, with the blessing of the aura, Lin Yu does not believe that Mo Ning can withstand any wind and waves.
You must know that "Rugged Appearance" is not only for blocks, if it is triggered when competing for rebounds, it can also work wonders, and Mourning itself is not known for his rebounding ability, at least his rebounding ability is not as good as Big Ben, and then weakened the bounce attribute, Big Ben will definitely be able to suppress Mourning on the rebounding end.
In the five positions, Lin Yu all have the confidence to win against his opponent, how can he lose this ball?
……
By the time Lin Yu returned to the training ground, the players were still practicing blocking and dismantling tactics.
The backcourt of the Bullets team is already playing blocking and dismantling, and all they have to do now is to add Webb to the blocking and dismantling system, so the practice is very smooth.
Lin Yu sat on the sidelines and watched for a while, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the blocking and demolition tactics are worthy of being a classic that can be used for a long time, even in the era of small balls in later generations, the blocking and dismantling tactics will never be outdated.
In 2014, when the Zen master was at the helm of the Knicks, he also wanted to use the triangle offense on the Knicks, but the Knicks boss at the time, Melon Anthony, was the first to disagree and turned his face with the Zen master for this matter.
In the later era of small balls, the triangle offense was rarely heard, not to mention the use, and it was swept into the garbage heap of history.
After practicing the blocking and dismantling system for a day on Wednesday, and practicing for half a morning on Thursday morning, Lin Yu let the players rest, practicing tactics is a long-term process, and it will definitely not reach the level of perfection in a few months, and tonight's game against the Heat will definitely not be counted on.
At the Heat's pre-game press conference, Riley appeared at the venue with Mourning, obviously going to fight Lin Yu in the ring.
After sitting down, the old god Riley was there, facing the reporter's question about Lin Yu, his face was full of banter and disdain, and he didn't even bother to answer.
However, Mo Ning's desire to fight was extremely strong, and he directly called for the big book.
"I never understood why the Bullets were selling Muressan, who seemed to be taller than their current center in a wheelchair."
"His name is Ben Wallace? Sorry, I didn't even know there was such a player in the league a few days ago. ”
"I don't want to know what he said to me, who cares about the clamor of a nobody."
Before the game started, the two sides fought until they flew, and it was originally just a mediocre Eastern regular season, which attracted the attention of countless fans.
Big Ben was in the locker room and heard Mourning's trash talk at the press conference, and his face turned green with anger.
He can tolerate Mo Ning saying that he is a nobody, after all, before Lin Yu coached the Bullets, he was indeed an unknown person, and he was completely incomparable to a first-line star like Mo Ning.
But mock yourself for being short? Big Ben is completely unacceptable.
Especially Mo Ning is not very tall, his official registered height is 208 cm, and his real height is about 204 cm, while Daben's official height is 206 cm, and his real height is about 201 cm, which is really not much shorter than Mo Ning.
Originally, his height was the scar of Big Ben, and now a guy who is only three centimeters taller than himself is also mocking his height, how can Big Ben endure it.
"Angry?"
Seeing Big Ben's angry appearance, Lin Yu asked with a smile.
Big Ben nodded silently, "Coach, I'm definitely going to make that guy look good tonight." ”
"Calm down, tonight is not the place for you to fight, we have a more important goal!"
"Guys, come here, listen to me!"
Lin Yu beckoned the bullet generals to his side, took a deep breath and said aloud.
"Tonight's opponent is the Heat, and after the last Joker incident, I thought it would be over."
"I didn't expect Pat Riley to be aggressive, is he humiliating Chris by treating Chris like that in the All-Star Game? No, he's humiliating me, humiliating Unseld, humiliating our whole team! ”
"If we don't give them some color tonight, he, Riley, really thinks that our bullet team is soft persimmons, that we are bastards without eggs."
"In the future, when we go out to play away, we can't raise our heads in front of other teams, who can't poke our backbones and call us soft eggs?"
"I don't care what the Bullets used to be, after I came, there is no team in this league that anyone can ride on our heads!"
"The Bulls can't do it, and the Heat can't do it!"
"Give me a twelve-point cheer up, and we'll bloody the Miami Heat tonight!"
Lin Yu's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, infecting all the bullet players, and everyone was angry, ready to do a big fight.
