Chapter Seventy-Three: Is the NBA a Forbidden Zone for the Yellow Race?
At eight o'clock in the evening on April 26, it was Sunday again.
The playoffs started last night, and the opening game was the Bulls vs. the Orlando Magic, and the Bulls officially started the playoff mode in this game, beating the Magic to the ground.
The playoffs between the Heat and the Bullets are scheduled for tomorrow night, April 27.
Lin Yu was in the hotel room in Miami, rubbing his hands and waiting for the random aura to refresh.
Now it depends on the luck of this old guy Riley, if Lin Yu's refreshed aura is relatively ordinary, then although he will still lose, he will not lose so ugly.
And if Lin Yu can get a powerful aura randomly, what awaits Riley can only be the humiliation of being swept out.
"In the weekly random aura drawing, please wait for thirty seconds!"
"Passive Aura (1): Let the Bullets Fly", the effect is to increase the three-point shooting rate by 10% when the players on the court are in the open position.
"Passive Aura (2): "Magic Shoes", the effect is to increase the speed attribute of the player in the center position by 6 points."
"Passive Aura (3): "Agile Slippers", the effect is to increase the speed attribute of the No. 4 player on the field by 3 points, and the additional physical recovery is 1% per minute."
Lin Yu was still hesitating about what tactics to use against the Heat, but after the aura was refreshed, he immediately had an idea.
Break the block!
Lin Yu had considered giving up the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics before, because the flying car lacked the passing ability and Da Juguan like Stockton.
Now with "Cobra's Goggles", even if the ability of the flying car is not as good as Stockton, it is not far behind, and the blocking and dismantling tactics can be used completely.
"Let the Bullets Fly" can be called a bug-level aura of blocking and dismantling tactics, because the goal of blocking and dismantling tactics is to create various opportunities for your own side to shoot, as long as there are empty slots to shoot, this aura can exert infinite power.
This is not to improve the three-point attribute, but to improve the shooting percentage in real terms.
Originally, the player's empty three-point shooting rate was quite high, at least much higher than the frontal strong shot, and with an additional 10% shooting rate, Lin Yu didn't dare to think about how ungodly the bullets' three-point shooting rate was.
In addition, this time there is also a player's aura speed bonus, and the success rate of running empty positions is higher.
This time, Pat Riley must be in the process of being sins.
The next morning, Lin Yu summoned the generals and announced that tonight's game against the Heat would be blocked.
In fact, during this period of time, the bullet team's blocking and demolition drills have not fallen, even if Lin Yu doesn't think much about blocking and dismantling, he should still practice.
Speeding looked excited, playing blocking and dismantling tactics, he is the protagonist on the field, the ball will be distributed by him, whether it is scoring or assisting, he is of course happy.
"Mind you, tonight we're mainly shooting threes, trying to shoot as many points as possible."
"We have a huge advantage over the Heat in terms of height and athleticism, so we don't need to rush to shoot, we really can't find an open space, so we pass the ball first, and we don't need to rush to shoot."
"Rod, you are our engine tonight, you must pass the ball quickly and accurately, and how many points you can win against the Heat depends on your performance."
Every time Lin Yu refreshes some special aura and needs to arrange specific playing styles and tactics, he has to find a reasonable reason, at least a reason that can make the players feel reasonable.
The reason Lin Yu gave tonight is that the Bullets' lineup is younger, taller and more athletic, and they can rely on blocking tactics to better run and shoot in the open space.
Of course, the generals feel that it makes sense, they have been practicing blocking and demolition tactics for two months, and it is time to go on the field to fight.
In the afternoon, the group practiced their blocking tactics for another hour, then returned to their hotel rooms to rest and wait for the evening game to begin.
The Heat, as the home team, are conventionally going to hold a pre-game press conference.
As a result, Riley did not attend at all, and the team's assistant coach Stan Van Gundy led Mourning to attend.
Mo Ning is a straight-hearted person, straightforward and fast-talking, what to say, he actually has no ill feelings towards the bullet team, especially after Lin Yu almost sent his aunt to see God, Mo Ning is full of good feelings for the bullet team.
Before he joined the Heat, he played for the Hornets at the same time as his aunt Larry Johnson, and the two of them were about to play out in the team in order to compete for the team boss.
Lin Yu's kick made Mo Ning happy for several days, if it weren't for Lin Yu's discordant relationship with the Heat, he would even want to thank Lin Yu in person.
Mo Ning at the press conference behaved like a gentleman, and he didn't spray Lin Yu at all, he just said something cliché and went through the motions.
This made Lin Yu secretly sigh that Mo Ning was really a good comrade, and he was really blind with Riley.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Yu led the bullets to enter, and was immediately booed by the Heat fans.
During this time, Lin Yu provoked the Heat one after another, which has made Heat fans unbearable.
"Stupid guys, there's only one way for you to run into the Heat!"
"You're just a kid with shit luck, and it won't be long before you're abandoned by the NBA!"
"The NBA is a forbidden area for yellow people, there were no yellow people before, and there will be no one in the future, you damn boy will be fired sooner or later!"
"Kill them!"
The wild shouts of the Heat fans resounded throughout the audience, and Lin Yu's face turned pale, and he was on the verge of attacking.
Lin Yu didn't take other trash talk to heart at all, but the yellow man's remarks made Lin Yu very unhappy.
In 1946, a Japanese American named Wataru Misaka joined the BAA, the predecessor of the NBA, played three games, and then was cut.
After the NBA was officially created, there really were no yellow people, neither coaches nor players.
This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yu shocked the whole league when he became the coach of the Bullets, he is not only young, but also has the identity of a yellow race.
And now the trash talk of Heat fans makes Lin Yu ponder whether he wants to bring a compatriot into the league.
With the blessing of the aura, as long as Lin Yu wants to, the data will not be bad.
"Let's talk about abusing your heat first!" Lin Yu shook his head, now is not a good time to think about these things, it is better to abuse the Heat first and shut up these damn savage fans.
"Doot toot!"
The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the starters of both sides began to play.
The starting lineup sent by Lin Yu tonight is Big Ben, Webb, Mashburn, Brother Legs plus a flying car.
In terms of blocking and opening three-pointers, the scoring explosiveness that Brother Leg can exert is much stronger than Jalen Rose.
The Heat's starting lineup is still Mourning, PJ Brown, Marley, Wozen Leonard plus Tim Hardaway.
With a cruel grin on his face when he got on the field, he was too confident to beat Tim Hardaway.
The Bullets got the jump ball, picked up the ball and raced to the frontcourt.
The leg brother immediately stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll, and Tim Hardaway couldn't follow the flying car in the first place, giving the flying car an open space to shoot a three-point opportunity.
"Huh!"
Three-point hit!
As soon as the opening speed car gave Tim Hardaway a kick-off.
Turning his head, Hardaway dropped the ball to Mourning outside the three-second zone, which was very good, but unfortunately Mourning's mid-range shot failed to score, and the rebound was also collected by Big Ben.
In the round of the bullet team, this time the flying car faked the real pass, and after passing it to Brother Leg, he took advantage of the situation to help Brother Leg make a block.
"Huh!"
Brother Legs' three points also scored, and the biggest beneficiary of "Let the Bullets Fly" is actually Brother Legs, his original three-point ability in the empty position is extremely strong, give him the opportunity to shoot three points in the empty position, and he can have at least five or six percent of the shooting rate.
Now there is another 10% more shooting rate, and the empty three-point of the leg brother is incomprehensible.
Two open three-pointers in a row shot Riley's face green.
The game had just begun, and he felt that his Heat team hadn't done anything yet, and he was directly beaten to a small climax of 6:0.
The Heat failed to score in the next offensive round, with Tim Hardaway's three-point shot being interfered with by a speeding car and the rebound being collected by Webb.
Seeing the flying car holding the ball, Riley has already begun to tremble, he is really afraid that the Bullets will shoot another three-pointer in the third round, and the opening score of 9:0, how can this game be played?
"Bang!"
The speeding car passed to Mashburn, and the three-point score was missed, giving Riley a long sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, his nerves relaxed in less than thirty seconds, and after Mourning helped the Heat hit the first goal of the game, the Bullets assisted Webber in the frontcourt for another three-pointer.
This cooperation is quite Utah's double style.
The speeding car rushed forward to involve the opposing defense, Webber mentioned the high post to do the pick-and-roll, and then waited until the speeding car pulled PJ Brown's defensive attention away, Webber immediately squatted on the outside, and the passing of the flying car came in an instant, allowing Webb to comfortably shoot a three-pointer.
Webb's three-point ability is not bad, and it was an empty shot, and the ball went into the net hollow, which made Riley's heart cold, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.
The Bullets' blocking and dismantling played in a decent way, which was completely different from the previous style of play.
In the previous game of the Bullets, the main focus was on a personal ability, after the flying car controlled the ball to the front court, Big Ben was responsible for grabbing the board under the basket, and the others were scattered, and whoever had the ball in his hand would play alone.
And tonight, the Bullets team obviously played more methodically, and the organizational ability of the flying car made Riley dumbfounded, and the flying car in his memory did not have such top-level organizational skills.
What makes Riley even more incomprehensible is that the Bullets seem to be extremely obsessed with three-point shooting tonight, and they shot four three-pointers in the four offensive rounds after the opening!
What's even more outrageous is that these four three-pointers actually hit 3!
In the next few minutes, the Heat's offensive efficiency was actually quite good, and Mourning had a great mid-range shooting tonight, shooting four shots and hitting three.
If it were left in a normal game, with Mourning's efficiency, the Heat would be in the lead.
However, the Heat on the court were at a disadvantage, and in a few minutes the Heat had fallen behind by 11 points, and the Bullets' three-point shot was really like a bullet, and every shot cost Riley's life.
After making 3 of 4 three-pointers in the opening game, the Bullets followed up with five more three-pointers in addition to their normal mid-range shots and breakouts, and even hit 3.
Those six three-pointers alone have already scored 18 points for the Bullets!
Riley dared to continue to let the Bullets shoot, quickly called a timeout and began to readjust the lineup.
Lin Yu's face was overjoyed, looking around at the fans, and seeing their expressions like eating dead flies, his heart was simply overjoyed.
In the opening half quarter, the Bullets led by 11 points, and the Heat fans still had the arrogance just now.
Now Lin Yu can't wait to call Jazz coach Sloan and tell him, your blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are really useful.
It's really easy to use, the key is that there is no way to crack it, Lin Yu doesn't think Riley can find a way to crack the blocking and dismantling tactics.
After the timeout ends, the game resumes.
Riley adjusted his defensive strategy, and the Heat's previous defense had always been man-to-man, and tonight in the face of bullet blocking tactics, the marking obviously did not work.
He has been coaching for so many years, and he is certainly not eating for nothing, immediately letting the players on the court change the defense when facing the block and pick-and-roll, even if it will cause Tim Hardaway to defend Webb, and definitely not let the Bullets shoot open three-pointers.
This defensive strategy adjustment made a mistake, and it really weakened the power of the aura of "Let the Bullets Fly".
However, the disadvantages are not without drawbacks, how can it be so easy to prevent small and big ones.
"You don't have to find an empty position for three points, and if you have a mismatch advantage, you can play." Lin Yu shouted on the sidelines and made on-the-spot tactical adjustments.
With such an adjustment, Webb's side blossomed again, he played blocking and dismantling with the speeders, and the Heat's side could only let Tim Hardaway defend Webb.
Webb's various mid-range shots in front of Tim Hardaway are difficult to think of if they are not efficient.
