After the game, Lin Yu was going to tease Jim Jackson, but looking at his disgraced bereavement dog, Lin Yu didn't even bother to waste his tongue on him.

After winning the Mavericks, the Bullets returned to the sixth place in the East, leaving Lin Yu distressed, with the last two games left in the season, one against the Raptors and the last against the Heat.

In this game against the Raptors, Lin Yu still released the water, giving the Raptors a win, and returning the Bullets to seventh in the East.

Unfortunately, this seventh is not stable at all, and the sixth-ranked Hornets only have one more win than the bullets.

Both teams have one game left to play, and if the Bullets win the Heat in the final game and the Hornets lose the last game, the Bullets will squeeze out the Hornets to move up to sixth place in the East.

After thinking about it, Lin Yu still decided to give up this game against the Heat, of course, it was impossible to give up in vain, and he had to disgust Pat Riley by the way.

"I said, I said two months ago, that the Bullets would play the Heat in the first round of the playoffs and send the Heat to fish."

"Our Bullets are going to make the playoffs with a seventh-place finish in the East, Pat Riley, are you ready to go fishing rods?"

Lin Yu mocked the Heat at the pre-game press conference.

He and Riley have completely torn their faces, so there is no need to save any face for Riley.

The reporters in the audience were curious, isn't this the regular season not over yet? How could Lin Yu be sure that their bullets would be seventh in the East?

In the last game against the Heat, if the Bullets lose, then they are indeed 100% seventh, could it be that Lin Yu is ready to give up this game?

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, how much resentment Lin Yu had towards Pat Riley, and he was going to fight the Heat to the end.

After the press conference, the pressure on Pat Riley's side doubled.

They had fought the Bullets once before, and at that time, they relied on the shark-cutting tactic against Big Ben, and they didn't lose much.

However, it was the Bullets who had the advantage, and if it weren't for Ben's terrible free throws, they would have lost 20 points that game, to say the least.

Even if Riley doesn't want to admit it, he knows in his heart that the Bullets' combat power is indeed stronger than their Heat.

Now Lin Yu rushed towards him in a daze, saying that he wanted to eliminate the Heat in the first round of the playoffs, Riley was really panicked.

If this is really eliminated by Lin Yu in the first round, he will not have any face in this alliance in the future.

Riley, who is nicknamed the God Operator, usually has a lot of ghost ideas, but at the moment, he has no way to take Lin Yu.

It can't be said that there is no way at all, unless Pat Riley is willing to give up his face, and this last game will also be released to give the Bullets a win, if the Hornets lose the last game, then the Bullets will be sixth in the East, and their Heat will not have to face the Bullets in the first round.

It's a pity that Riley has the reserve of a strong man, it is impossible for him to do such a thing to show weakness to the enemy, is this not clear to tell the world that he is afraid of Lin Yu?

On April 24, at Miami's home stadium, when he saw Lin Yu's starting lineup, Riley's teeth were about to be crushed, and Lin Yu simply didn't want a little face.

The starting lineup of the Bullets, center Howard, power forward Murray, small forward Jaren Jackson, point guard Irving Sr., point guard Ray Jackson.

This lineup is going to play the top NCAA teams, and it is estimated that it is unpredictable.

Riley originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that if the Bullets players felt good, he would use a little trick on his side, hoping that the Bullets would win this game.

But looking at this starting lineup, Riley couldn't wait to strangle Lin Yu, what a shameless person he had to be to come up with this kind of starting lineup.

Howard also accepted his fate, knowing that he would be traded out next season anyway, so it was better to take advantage of this last opportunity to desperately brush up on the data, and after he appeared, he made all kinds of indiscriminate shots and gave him a good shot.

In the end, the Bullets lost the game with a score of 65-87 and successfully sat in the seventh place in the East.

At the end of the regular season, Lin Yu found that he didn't have to go.

In the first round of the playoffs against the Heat, because the Heat have a better record, the first game is the home court of the Heat.

The Bullets can stay in Miami and wait for the first round of the playoffs to begin!

……

That night, Lin Yu received a call from Unseld.

"Lin, you really did it, I can't wait to see how angry Riley looks after being eliminated."

"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, in fact, you just need to get past the first round."

"Our squad is still young, even if we can't go far this year, we still have a chance next year."

Unselde was worried that Lin Yu was under too much pressure, so he spoke to appease Lin Yu.

"Wes, if you can beat the Bulls, I can't guarantee it."

"But I'm sure the Heat and the Knicks are definitely not our opponents."

"What you have to do now is to inquire about Zhu Wan's deal, it is best to sell it to the west, if he stays in the east, there will be too many mobile phones in the future, and it will be embarrassing to watch."

With the end of the regular season, Lin Yu also began to plan a trade plan for next season.

"Don't worry, Zhu Wancai is only in the third grade, and he is still a young player, so he doesn't worry about selling at all."

"Do you have a favorite player, you can trade Zhu Wan when the time comes, and you will definitely be able to exchange it back."

Unseld didn't realise that he had begun to rely more and more on Lin Yu, and it was absolutely impossible for him to ask the head coach's opinion when he made a trade in the past.

"Kobe, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers."

"He's only the 13th pick in the first round, and he's so young, I don't think it's hard to take him, right?"

Lin Yu wants Kobe, not because of his offensive ability, but because of his defensive ability, the sophomore Kobe has already shown good defensive strength, at least much stronger than Jalen Rose.

He judged the strength of a player, never just looking at the offense, and even more than the offense, Lin Yu paid more attention to the defensive quality of the player.

Kobe Bryant's defense is undoubtedly very strong, and he has been soft on various best defensive lineups, but it is a pity that he has never won the DPOY, which makes his defensive achievements inferior to Jordan, and he can only rank second in the history of the point guard position.

The Bullets' backcourt defense has always been a shortcoming, and Lin Yu is confident that after getting Kobe, the team's backcourt defensive intensity will be improved by a notch.

"Lin, you guy is still too young, do you really think Kobe Bryant is such a good deal?"

"Iverson's sneaker contract is known, right? Before entering the league, he signed a 10-year, $50 million contract. ”

"If I were to tell you that Kobe Bryant had a bigger shoe contract than Iverson, you would know how much Kobe Bryant's value really is."

"The executives of those sports companies have a very vicious vision, you can't see Kobe Bryant as an ordinary first-round 13th pick, he is a very special existence."

Unselde said in an exaggerated tone.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded, why did Unseld describe Kobe Bryant so mysteriously? However, Kobe's first sneaker contract was indeed ridiculously high, and he signed a six-year, $48 million contract with Adi, which is much higher than the champion Iverson.

"Let's wait until the offseason, there are a few players besides Kobe Bryant that we need to keep an eye on."

After the conversation box was opened, Lin Yu simply talked carefully about the team building plan for the new season that he had recently figured out and told Unselde in detail.

The first is the trade for the Trail Blazers, O'Neal Jr. and the Suns' Nash.

Both men have extremely low trade values and are in the role of water-cooler on their respective teams.

Nash is because the team has Steve Johnson and Kidd, two top point guards, where can he still play.

And Xiao Ao is simply not strong, he is younger than Kobe, he is the youngest player in the league today, and the team is not completely ungiven him a chance, but unfortunately he just can't catch it.

After Howard was traded, it happened that O Jr. could come to the Bullets to play Webb as the lead bench.

"Jermaine O'Neal? Do the Trail Blazers have this player? ”

When Unseld heard about Lin Yu's plan, his brows furrowed into twists, and the trailblazer in his impression didn't seem to have this player at all.

He usually takes care of everything, how can he have an impression of a marginal player like Xiao Ao.

"That Nash of the Suns, I'm a little impressed, but can he really take Rhodes' place?"

"I don't think that kid is playing basketball, but like a nightclub maître d'am."

Unseld naturally doesn't trust thin players, and even he looks for a big daughter-in-law.

Lin Yu smiled helplessly, the nightclub foreman in Unseld's mouth is the future regular season MVP for the second time in a row, and there are less than ten players in the NBA who are fortunate enough to achieve this kind of achievement!

"Go on, these two players don't need any chips at all, and when the time comes, I'll pull the two teams to make a three-way deal, and I can trade it all over if I give something casually."

"Lin, Jamal and Rod, what do you think we should do?"

"Even if we sell Zhu Wan, the salary from the transaction will still occupy our salary space for at least one year."

"Fortunately, Xavi's contract is over, and we can still offer a contract with an annual salary of no more than 7 million at most."

"Both of these contracts have expired, we can only choose one of them, and even if we meet a team that is willing to spend money, we can't keep either of them."

The more Unseld talked, the more uncomfortable he became, thinking that if he hadn't gotten to fight that lawsuit and let the Heat sign Howard away, he wouldn't be in a quandary now.

Both Mashburn and Flying Car are contract years, and Old Pauline is not a rich man, and they can only keep one of their financial resources at most, and if they are unlucky, they may not be able to keep any of them.

Especially Mashburn, he is completely worthy, and the seven million salary space of the Bullets is impossible to sign him.

There is some hope for the speeds, but only if the big team doesn't give him a bigger contract.

"Don't panic, old man, even if these two are gone, we will definitely be stronger next season."

Lin Yu said with confidence that he had no need to say big things in front of Unseld, as a time-traveling person, he had a whole offseason to trade and adjust the lineup, and if the Bullets' combat power declined in the new season, Lin Yu might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him.

This season, Lin Yu traveled over the time very unfortunately, just as the trade deadline was approaching, so he only facilitated two trades.

"Well, I can only trust you now."

"I'm waiting for your good news in Washington."

With that, Unseld hung up the phone with a heavy heart, and he was now already worried about the new season for the Bullets.
