After the game, Lin Yu led the team directly back to the locker room.

Mashburn sat on the bench in a daze, looking full of preoccupations, and after beating his aunt on the field, he finished venting, and his heart was indescribably happy.

But when he returned to the locker room, he immediately realized how irresponsible his actions were.

I'm cool, but then the Bullets are going to play the East Finals, and their side is banned, how can the Bullets compete with the Bulls?

After seeing Lin Yu leading the generals in, Mashburn looked guilty and hurriedly got up.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

Lin Yu waved his hand, "Good fight, if it were me, I would never just give that guy two punches, you did the right thing." ”

"Don't think too much about it, the last time Big Ben knocked Mason's nose bone crooked, it was just a one-game ban."

Things have already happened, and it doesn't make any sense for Lin Yu to blame Mashburn again, it is better to appease Mashburn, lest he have too much psychological pressure.

Webb and others also stepped forward and put their arms around Mashburn's shoulders, telling him not to blame himself.

This made Mashburn feel even more uncomfortable, and he felt more and more sorry for the Bullets brothers.

The Bulls are playing against the Hawks, and the current score is 3:1, and tomorrow night is the fifth game, if nothing else, the Hawks should be gone.

If the Bulls defeat the Hawks 4-1, the first game of the Eastern Conference finals between the two sides will be scheduled for next Friday.

……

Early the next morning, as soon as Lin Yu arrived at the office, Old Bernie rushed in with a newspaper.

"Damn it, Lin, Mashburn is banned for five games!"

When Lin Yu heard this, he was stunned, he never dreamed that Stern would be so ruthless, it was originally a punishment of one or two bans, but now he was directly given a five-game ban.

It's over!

"Does Mr. Unselde know about this?" Lin Yu hurriedly asked.

He put his only hope on Unseld, Marshburn's five-game ban is equivalent to saying that the Bullets have completely lost the capital to compete with the Bulls, and if they are banned for one game, Lin Yu still has a little confidence to fight against the Bulls.

"Hey, what if I know?"

"You've hit Stern this time."

Unselde walked into Lin Yu's office and sighed.

During the regular season, Stern made heavy penalties to both teams, just to show his attitude, and you two teams are honest with me.

When it came to the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Stern even went to the scene in person, which is enough to see how worried he is about the scandal of the two teams creating a fight again.

He didn't go to the second game, the flying car was injured by Childs, and the two sides didn't fight at that time, just scolded each other a few words, Stern was very satisfied, he thought that the two teams were afraid of the authority of the president of the league, and did not dare to do it.

The third game was calm, and in the fourth game, Stern felt that he had been slapped in the face, and Mashburn and Big Mom still fought, this kind of behavior was to provoke him Stern.

How is it possible not to impose heavy penalties!

Not only was Mashburn banned for five games, but the ban on Big Mom's side was even worse, and he was punished by Stern for seven games as the one who started the incident.

Because Auntie's schedule this year is all over, his seven-game ban is going to be extended to next season, and he has actually lost seven games' salary.

While Mashburn is suspended for five games, the Bullets will play at least four games next against the Bulls, and Mashburn will be suspended for one game at most next season.

If you calculate it this way, Auntie's loss is much more serious than that of Marshburn.

Lin Yu balanced a little in his heart, but then he thought about it, the bullet team is going to play the East Finals, without Mashburn, how can this game be played?

"Now you know why you can't mess with Stern, right?"

"The right to punish is in his hands, and if he catches you for a mistake, he can punish you severely, unless you never make a mistake in your life."

Ansel said earnestly, his words were more like reminding Lin Yu, a junior, that in the future, he must be careful with Stern.

Lin Yu nodded silently, and he also truly realized how heavy Stern's authority was.

……

Friday night, home of the Chicago Bulls.

When Lin Yu led the remnants of the Bullets into the court, the Bulls fans at the scene did not boo them, but gave the Bullets a round of applause.

If there is any team in the league today that has the most imperial appearance, it is definitely not the old giants Lakers or Green Kai, it is definitely the Bulls.

Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and others stood there, and they naturally exuded an atmosphere of the ultimate boss.

With such a home team, the fans are naturally different, they actually appreciate the dark horse of the Bullets, who swept the Heat in second place in the East and the Knicks in third place in the East one after another, which is a team worthy of the respect of their Bulls fans.

In particular, the sweep of the Knicks is tantamount to helping the Bulls clear the obstacles to winning the championship, and Bulls fans have no reason to dislike the Bullets.

Lin Yu was looking at Jordan curiously, and Jordan was also looking at Lin Yu curiously.

Moments later, Jordan strode over to the Bullets bench.

"You've done a good job, if it weren't for injuries and bans, I think you could have played six games with us, and even a tie-break is not impossible."

Jordan naturally stood in front of the bullet generals, like the ultimate boss facing the human warriors who came to challenge him.

"Even if we have injuries and suspensions, we can take out you bulls." Jalen Rose said confidently.

Jordan squinted at Jalen Rose.

"Very well, I'm the best at destroying young talented defenders, are you ready? Child. ”

Jalen Rose stepped forward with his chest puffed out, not at all afraid of Jordan's coercion.

"I'm sorry, I'm 25 years old, and I'm not young anymore."

"I'm not a genius either, in fact no one has ever said I'm a genius."

"I'm not even a guard, I'm actually a small forward, so you like to destroy young talented guards, what does it have to do with me Jalen Rose?"

Lin Yu almost vomited blood, and he couldn't wait to cover Jalen Rose's mouth, Jordan came over to call for the battle, and you replied to the call like this?

Jordan couldn't fix it either, he had lived half his life, and it was the first time he had heard someone reply to his trash in this way.

"Forehead ......"

"This ......"

Jordan didn't know what to say at all, and glanced at the bullets speechlessly, patted his ass and turned his head away.

"See? It is said that Jordan is an old rascal, and the trash talk is first-class, and I think it is all blown out. ”

"As long as I belittle myself first, he can't degrade me!"

Jalen Rose said goodbye to Jordan in a few words, which could be the most memorable scene of his career.

The alien Cassel clapped his hands and applauded, "Well said, as long as you treat yourself as shit, others won't step on you." ”

"Very philosophical! Rose, you should be a great philosopher! ”

Webb hid his face, a little bit unwilling to recognize Jalen Rose as a brother, it was really embarrassing.

……

After the game on the court started, Lin Yu couldn't stop sighing, he can now understand the powerlessness of the Heat against the Bullets.

It's too helpless, it's too powerless.

With the Speeders and Mashburn sidelined, Webber became the Bullets' central offensive point on the court, which made it easy for the Bulls to find a defensive focus.

Rodman doesn't have to worry about any help defense at all, he does two things on the court, grabs rebounds on the offensive end, and locks Webber on the defensive end.

Webber has been bound to the "Shipbreaker" effect, but unfortunately Rodman's defensive ability and experience are really against the sky, he has been sticking to Webb and not giving Webb a chance to catch the ball.

Even if Webb can receive the ball, Rodman's two DPOYs are not for nothing, and he can always find a way to make Webb unable to shoot comfortably.

It's not just Webb who is restricted, Jalen Rose faces Jordan at this point, and he can't describe how miserable he is, being singled over and over again by Jordan.

Murray, the small forward who started tonight, is not Pippen's opponent at all, he is a strong offensive and weak player, the offensive end can't play under Pippen's defense, and the defensive end is very weak and can't defend Pippen.

Cassel in the No. 1 position, he faced Ron Harper, and the back play didn't work at all.

Harper was the boss of the team three years ago in the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

That's a serious top guard swingman, none of the top swing guards in NBA history has poor physical fitness, and Cassel takes his head to top others.

The situation would be much better if the speeding car was there, and the speed of the speeding car could suppress the elderly Harper and break through to the basket to score points, which Cassel would not have been able to do.

In the same way, Mashburn's absence at this point is also a huge loss for the Bullets, and if he is on the floor, the defense will be enough to limit Pippen.

Pippen's offense is not eye-catching, his projection ability is not top-notch, not even first-class, the real power is also the breakthrough, no one under the basket hinders him to score a layup, someone hinders him to break through the ball, and hand over the ball to Jordan.

Mashburn's strong physique can at least ensure that Pippen can't stand out, and Mashburn won't be suppressed too much by Pippen on the offensive end.

Even Big Ben, who is sitting under the basket, is playing very hard, he has no impact on the offensive end, Rodman pounces to defend Webb, he and Luke Longley must have an advantage in grabbing rebounds, but when it comes to the offensive end of the Bulls, it is uncomfortable, Luke Longley does not grab rebounds, the big meat lump is there, let Rodman grab it, Big Ben grabbed the offensive rebounds well tonight, and the defensive rebounds did not grab a few.

Lin Yu sat on the sidelines with a sad face, how good is this.

The teams are mutually reinforcing, the Bullets finish the Miami Heat, and the Chicago Bulls seem to have finished their shots.

He can't really sit still and try to take down Big Ben and replace it with Davis to improve the offensive firepower on the court.

It's a pity that this arrangement even had the opposite effect, after the defensive ability under the basket was weakened, Jordan and Pippen hit the basket one after another to score points, and the Bulls played a greater advantage.

Lin Yu also tried to replace Rose in the No. 3 position, and let the leg brother play in the No. 2 position.

The result is still very unsatisfactory, how can the leg brother find an open three-point shot opportunity in front of Jordan, and his defense is air in front of Jordan.

In the first battle of the Eastern Finals, the remnants of the bullets were defeated, and Lin Yu was convinced by the loss, but he couldn't beat it, and he had no way at all.

In the next three games, there were no waves, and the fourth game was quite anxious, but unfortunately Jordan shot one after another in the last two minutes, directly cutting off the last hope of the Bullets.

lost, this time it was not a shaved head, but a shaved head.

Lin Yu led the team to play three rounds of the playoffs, the first two rounds were shaved others, and the third round was shaved, which is simply the essence of human shaved heads.

The fourth game was the home of the Bullets, and when they saw the Bullets lose, the fans at the scene did not complain about Lin Yu or the Bullets at all.

In their opinion, it is a miracle that the Bullets have come this far this year.

The overall lineup of the Bullets is so young, and the Bulls lineup is old, if you can't do the Bulls this year, you will do it next year, and if you can't do it next year, you will do it the year after tomorrow, anyway, as long as the Bullets maintain their current combat strength, they will be able to win the championship sooner or later.

Unselde was also on the scene tonight, and after the game, he walked up to the court and hugged Lin Yu and patted Lin Yu on the back.

"Alright, man, don't be upset."

"After all, we are a remnant, and it is not a shame to be eliminated by the Bulls."

"In fact, you've done enough to lose, you lose, and we'll make a comeback next season."

Unseld had anticipated this situation before the start of the Eastern Finals, and he was not the only one, everyone expected the current situation.

Originally, the Bulls were regarded as an invincible team, and the Bullets were a remnant, so it was normal to lose to the Bulls.

"Okay, we'll be back next season!"

Lin Yu restrained the disappointment in his heart, and his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

The generals also came over and surrounded Lin Yu.

"Brothers, this season is over, believe me, our Bullets will be stronger next season!"

"It's so strong that it makes this league tremble, and all teams will despair when they see us!"

"I'm going to let this alliance crawl at the feet of our bullets!"

"Win the championship! We're going to win next season! ”

Lin Yu's voice became louder and louder, and every sentence was full of confidence, even the old man Unseld throbbed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to tear off the suit on his body and put on the bullet jersey again.

The generals were originally a little disappointed that their heads were shaved by the bull, but when they heard Lin Yu's bold words, they all looked as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Eh, Lin Yu, I shouldn't have said such things at this moment."

"But I can't help but remind you that next season we're not the Bullets, it's the Washington Wizards."

Unselde said this coldly, and half of the fighting spirit that everyone had just accumulated was relieved of him.

……

After returning to the locker room, Lin Yu found Unselde.

"Old man, our trade plans for the new season can begin."

Unselde nodded, "As soon as you say that, I have to tell you something, listen to your opinion." ”

"Didn't the New Jersey Nets draw the No. 7 pick in the first round before? They want to trade this pick for Davis. ”

Lin Yu shook his head directly, what are you kidding, Davis is such a high-quality first-line young center, he can sell it casually, and find a replacement by himself.

The key is that Davis is cheap enough and has three years left on his contract, and the Nets will think that after trading Davis, they don't have to worry about the midfield for at least three years, and they can make every effort to strengthen the perimeter.

"Huh? Wait, what's the first round? ”

"Seven, what? Do you have a player you want? Unselde saw Lin Yu's expression and immediately asked.

Lin Yu's face instantly turned ecstatic, Maddie was normally selected by the Raptors with the No. 9 pick in the first round, so doesn't the Nets' No. 7 pick in the first round say that they can win Maddie?!

Mashburn's departure has become a foregone conclusion, and Lin Yu's original plan was to choose Martial Saint Jackson to replace Mashburn.

It's a pity that the martial saint is still a little bit worse in the end, and Maddie is different, he can play in the second and third positions, and after taking it down, under the aura of "Peak", he will directly enter the peak!

That's the pinnacle Maddie, the man who touched God!

"Promise them!" Lin Yu immediately urged Unseld to finalize the deal.

"That's right? I'm still thinking about asking them to have more chips, the No. 7 pick is a bit ambiguous, the value is certainly not low, but it is far less valuable than the top five picks. ”

"Otherwise, I'll let them trade the Knicks' Childless, and then pack the No. 7 pick in exchange for Davis, what do you think?" Unselde said with a wicked smile and a wink.

Lin Yu was amazed, and it still depends on these old guys in terms of wilting, and they can easily clean up Childs.

After this deal was finalized, Peak Maddie became Lin Yu's bag, and he was looking forward to the arrival of the new season more and more.
