Chapter 60: The first NBA person to enter the entertainment circle of the Celestial Empire
Early on Monday morning, Lin Yu gathered all the players, and he wanted to see who was the lucky one among the three inactive players.
When Garon Nickerson entered Lin Yu's field of vision, Lin Yu seemed to have some kind of induction in his heart, and determined that the little transparent Nickerson was the lucky one of "Ascending to the Gods".
The name of this aura is very vivid, and if you can enjoy the effect of this aura every night, it is indeed enough to be called a god.
"Brothers, tomorrow night against the Philadelphia 76ers, I'm ready to adjust the starting lineup."
"Garon, are you ready to start?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile towards Nickerson.
Nickson was directly stunned, and the whole person froze in place.
He wasn't actually a rookie, having been drafted in 1994 and picked by the Hawks with the 7th pick in the second round, but the Hawks didn't sign him at all and waited until this season for him to get a non-guaranteed contract with the Spurs.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to be cut, and then Unselde signed him, which must also be a non-guaranteed contract.
"Coach, you're not kidding, are you? Let this little hillbilly play the starting point guard? You might as well let Ben fight, then I'll be more acceptable. ”
Flying Car said dumbfounded.
He called Nickerson a hillbilly, and the others didn't see anything wrong with it, and even Nickerson didn't look dissatisfied.
If this is left in China and is called so, it will be a fight.
The main reason for such a bizarre scene is that Nickerson is from Arkansas, a state whose players are often jokingly referred to as hillbillies.
For example, Pippen, who is from Arkansas, when he first went to the Bulls, Jordan looked down on him and called him a hillbilly.
The Grizzlies' current starting center, Bryant Levi, nicknamed Big Hillbilly, and later Austin Rivers, is known as Country Mamba or Hillbilly Kobe.
These are Arkansas players.
One side of the water and soil raises the other side, this is true everywhere, Arkansas players are indeed more local.
Alabama, another agricultural state, produces wilder players, probably because their main industry is animal husbandry, such as Barkley, Big Ben and Pistons' Ratliffe, all Alabama players, as well as the tough guy Elvis Presley Wallace and cousin Cousins.
New York State has produced gorgeous players such as Jordan, Irving, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Anthony, Marbury and Marshburn.
Now that Nickson is called a hillbilly, he is not angry at all, or he may not have heard it at all, and he is still wondering if he is hallucinating, Lin Yu actually let himself start?
"Rod, do you believe that Garon's stats are going to be strong tonight?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile.
"To what extent is it explosive, for him, five points in a game is also considered exciting." The flying car said dissatisfied.
He had a bad week last week, and he was thinking about playing well this week, but the starters were robbed, and it was normal to have opinions in his heart.
"What about 20 points in a single quarter?" Lin Yu still said with a smile without impatience.
The flying car also smiled, "20 points in a single quarter? I'm sure he can score 20 points in a single quarter, and I might as well believe that the earth is round! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu was stunned, could it be that the flying car really believed in Diping's theory?
What made Lin Yu even more stunned was that the other players didn't have any unusual expressions, as if they didn't notice anything wrong with the flying car.
In his previous life, Lin Yu read a statistic, saying that there were 4 adults on Lao Mei's side who believed in the flat theory, and he still felt very nonsense, even if Lao Mei's happy education created a large number of illiterates, it would not be so outrageous.
Now he really believes it a little, and has figured out why Ou Shenxian also firmly believes in Diping and says that his godfather believes in this, and he really learns the origins of the family.
Flying is just a spit, and he is not really dissatisfied with the start of a game.
At eight o'clock in the evening, after Lin Yu led the generals to enter, he looked towards the 76ers bench.
The first thing that catches my eye is Iverson, who sits on the bench and holds his cheeks in a daze, even if he doesn't make any movements, he is still the focus of everyone's attention.
It's hard to describe Iverson's temperament, stubborn, melancholy, elegant, prickly, and both.
"Phew, did you see that kid? Putting aside the little prince who pretends to be melancholy every day, what's so great about him? ”
Seeing everyone looking at Iverson, the flying car couldn't help but whisper to Cassel beside him.
Cassel burst out laughing, "You're just jealous, people just entered the league, and the sneaker contract you signed alone is twice as high as your career salary combined!" ”
"The point guard with 23.5 points in his rookie season ranks first in history, how many points did you score in your rookie season?"
The speeding car retorted angrily: "Jealousy? If I had that many balls with him, I would have averaged 30 points per game in my rookie season! ”
"If I start tonight, I can abuse him until he cries."
Cassel was even more happy, clutching his stomach and laughing, "You guys don't think I didn't watch the game in Mavericks before, do you?" ”
"He's scored 40 points on your head, you pull in a random 76ers fan, and they're sure to remember that game."
Flying Car was said to be blushing in the old face, "You damn fellow, no one will treat you like a dumb person if you don't speak." ”
Lin Yu heard it clearly on the side, he was still curious about why the flying car had such a big opinion on Iverson just now, it turned out that he had been beaten by Iverson.
Iverson was extremely crazy in his rookie season, playing five 40+ games, one of which even scored 50 points, and the flying car was one of the five victims.
In addition, the reason why Iverson is unhappy is that Iverson is too glamorous, and he signed a 10-year super contract of 50 million US dollars with Reebok before he entered the league, in fact, Kassel can be regarded as saving face for Feiche, because Feiche has played for eight years, and all salaries add up to only 11 million.
This is what real people are more popular than people, and jealousy drives speeding cars crazy.
Lin Yu looked at the other players of the 76ers, and the quarterback Jerry Starkerhouse is Jordan's junior brother, and he also has two brushes, but the brush does not have much hair.
He can easily score 20 points, but the shooting percentage is extremely low, and he belongs to the kind of player who shoots more and loses faster, and the plus/minus on the court is simply not visible.
Power forward Derrick Coleman, the top pick in the 90-year draft, was once regarded as a phenomenal player who could dominate the league, but later drank himself and wasted himself, even if he is still a first-line power forward who averages 18 points and 9 rebounds per game, no team is willing to give a drunkard a big contract.
Center Scott Williams is blessed, he was signed by the Bulls as an undrafted pick in 90, and then followed the Bulls to win three championships in a row, became a member of the first dynasty of the Bulls, and his value skyrocketed, and now he is a starter in the 76ers, and his salary is about the same as that of a flying car, fifteen times that of Big Ben......
So sometimes luck is really important, and a center like Scott, who was not drafted, would have been eliminated from the league if he hadn't hugged the Bulls' thighs.
Lin Yu looked at Clarence Witherspoon, another forward of the 76ers, and looked very carefully, even more fascinated than Iverson.
Witherspoon's big name, Lin Yu is like thunder, he is the first NBA person to enter the Chinese entertainment industry, or inserted? There was an affair with a male singer surnamed Wang, and there was even news that the male singer sought medical treatment for anal fissures late at night.
This lace news is an extremely explosive existence even if it is placed in the explosion world.
Lin Yu looked at Witherspoon, wanting to see what kind of charm this guy had, he was five big and three thick, his neck was almost invisible, and he didn't have to compare with the handsome man Weber, even if it was a flying car, he was much more attractive than him.
Lin Yu could only sigh that your circle was really chaotic, and anything that exploded could happen in that circle.
……
"Doot toot!"
As the referee's whistle blew, the starters of both sides began to appear.
The starting lineup sent by Lin Yu tonight is Big Ben, Howard, Webb, Mashburn and Garon Nixson.
"Ding, Garon Nickson's opinion has increased, the current opinion is 80 points!"
Lin Yu couldn't cry or laugh, Nickson couldn't believe that he was the first person before he appeared on the stage, and he thought that Lin Yu was spoofing him, so his favorability has not increased.
When he really started to step on the football field, he really believed that Lin Yu didn't play him, and his favorability skyrocketed.
Because he is a marginal player on the edge, he is not even as good as Cangzhou Magician Sun Yue, so his favorability has increased greatly, directly to 80 points, and Lin Yu has a hunch that after tonight's game, he will definitely be able to gain a little charm again.
After Iverson came on the court, he saw that his opponent tonight was Nickerson, and then turned his head to see the flying car on the bench, first stunned, and then stared at Lin Yu with a displeased face.
Lin Yu was stunned, good guy, did Iverson misunderstand something? He wouldn't think he was belittling him and deliberately sending a fringe player to disgust him, would he?
God is pitiful, Lin Yu is also a loyal fan of Iverson, he can disgust any player, and it is absolutely impossible to disgust Iverson.
……
Webb made a jump shot, and the Bullets went on offense.
Nickerson played extremely cautiously, and it can even be said that he was overly cautious, and when he dribbled to the front court in the backcourt, he was like a thief in defense of Iverson, for fear of breaking the ball for Iverson.
After stumbling to the frontcourt, he didn't dare to make a move, and hurriedly passed the ball to Webb.
As soon as Webb saw Howard beckoning for the ball, he passed it without saying a word, making Lin Yu angry, some people are loyal and filial, Webb is stupid and righteous.
The goal was missed, and the rebound collapsed far and was snatched up by Witherspoon.
In the 76ers' offensive round, Iverson stared at Lin Yu again, and then began to single Nixon.
How could Nixon prevent Iverson's flower-wearing butterfly step, and was almost shaken down by Iverson, and after Nickson's defense was out of position, Iverson rushed to the basket, not only made a layup, but also made a foul on Big Ben and hit a free throw.
This situation was completely expected by Lin Yu, when Nickson's favorability was turned on, Lin Yu checked his attributes, his athletic talent was very ordinary, only 80 points of speed attribute can still be seen, and the outside defensive ability is only 75 points, and the first quarter of "Ascending God Long Steps" can only increase his attributes by 1%, how can he defend against Iverson.
Counting on Nickson to be able to defend against Iverson, it is better to count on Rush Ba to kill the four Tang monks and apprentices.
After about two minutes of fighting, Iverson had already beaten Nickson twice in a row, Lin Yu quickly called a timeout, and then changed the flying car.
"Huh? Coach, can you change people like this? He's been blown up, and I'm going to go up and suffer? ”
The last time against Iverson, Iverson scored 40 points, although the Bullets beat the 76ers by 30 points in that game, but which fan cares about the wins and losses of these two weak teams? Only remember that Iverson blew up the speeding car.
Now it's time to play against Iverson again, and the speeding car is afraid that the tragedy will happen again.
"You're taller and stronger than him, and your speed isn't much slower than him, so why don't you just let him take a step to prevent him from breaking through?"
Looking at the cowardice of the flying car, Lin Yu said angrily.
"You treat him like a big book? He can shoot. The speeder said with a sad face.
"With his shooting ability, if he can shoot 40 points on your head, I will lose convinced."
Lin Yu's understanding of Iverson is definitely far better than that of Philadelphia 76ers coach Jonny Davis.
Iverson in the early stage of his career, his mid-range shooting ability is very bad, even in his peak, his close-range shooting rate is not even 30%, and the mid-range shooting rate has been maintained at about 35%, but the long-range shooting can be kept outside 40%, of course, it is not very good.
The time when his mid-range shooting really came out was around 05, that is, the period before joining the Nuggets.
At the moment, Iverson's real lethal offensive means is to break through, let him burst to the basket, and sometimes he can go to the free throw line even if he doesn't score.
