I really play basketball

Chapter 115 Hanging Out During the Prohibition Period

The Warriors came back from the East with three losses.

Not only did they lose to the Knicks, they also lost to the Cavaliers and the Bulls.

During this six-game Eastern Conference road trip, they also won two consecutive victories when Lin Xing was there.

Without Lin Xing's three and a half games, they directly lost three games, and the only one to win that game was the Hornets in the Eastern lottery zone.

With the remaining three strong teams at the playoff level, the Warriors lost all of them.

Losing or losing, the media hit the big headline——

"Without Stella, the Warriors have 2 wins and 4 losses, and they failed at all!"

The media also left half a point for the Warriors players and coaches other than Lin Xing, and did not count the two games in which Lin Xing retired early.

If counted, it should be 3 wins and 5 losses, or fail.

No, considering the Knicks in World War II, a 15-point halftime lead can be reversed.

This performance is worse than failing, which is simply a typical example of negative scores.

Returning to the Bay Area from the East, there are only two games left in Lin Xing's suspension.

One is an away game against the Clippers, and the other is a game against the Bullets at home. Neither opponent is very strong.

With Lin Xing's cap badge in hand, there are no uncompetitive careers in the Bay Area.

So, just as the Warriors got on the plane and were about to head to Los Angeles.

"Long time no see, guys, do you miss me?"

The appearance of Lin Xing surprised everyone on the plane.

"Wait, Si Da, hasn't your suspension period expired yet?"

"And, didn't we just meet yesterday?"

In this regard, Lin Xing's explanation is——

"I know my suspension period hasn't passed yet, but the league only banned me from playing games, and didn't ban me from watching games from the sidelines."

"As for your question Latrier, I can only answer you. What you saw yesterday was me on the training ground, and me on the plane..."

Lin Xing counted with his fingers and came up with the result: "It's been a full week, and you haven't seen me on the plane again."

After he explained this, the teammates nodded: "Your explanation is very convincing, and I can't refute it."

On the contrary, old Nelson, taking advantage of Lin Xing's effort to get into his seat, said:
"You young people just can't resist the temptation of big cities."

"?"

Lin Xing threw a question mark over, and Old Nelson spread his hands:
"Is there a problem with what I said? You don't follow the team in Cleveland and Charlotte. When it's Los Angeles' turn, you show up."

"There is a problem, Don, you really misunderstood me."

Lin Xing turned back and said, "I went to Los Angeles just to go back to Long Beach."

"Back to Long Beach?"

"Yeah, isn't it crazy that March is about to start? My alma mater, Principal Beach, has a good record and is the third seed in the West, so I'm going to take advantage of the two days you guys go to Los Angeles to go back."

"Oh, so that's the case..."

Old Nelson suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Lin Xing.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, Lin Xing left the Warriors' main team.

He really went to Long Beach and met his long-lost former mentor Seth Greenberg at the Pyramid Stadium.

"It's been a long time, Seth, I never thought that without me, you could bring the 49ers like this."

Shaking their heads, Lin Xing and Greenberg hugged each other.

Said to be a mentor, Greenberg is less than 40 years old, and he is still very young.

To Lin Xing's ridicule, he smiled: "Why, do you underestimate me so much?"

To be honest, Lin Xing and Greenberg have been together for a season, and his evaluation of Greenberg is——

If you have no other skills, you will sprinkle chicken soup.

That is to say, when I met Lin Xing, who had his own system, changing to other people would not be able to move the 49ers at all.

But as a result, this season, the new 49ers slapped Lin Xing in the face.

"Let's go, let's go in, and meet your juniors... Ah bah! It's easy to say, there are no juniors, they are all juniors."

Lin Xing thought that Greenberg had more work for the women's team, and when he got excited, he was ready to take off his pants and fight with the school girls.

Don't get me wrong, the big fight here refers to the big fight on the basketball court.

Soon, in the pyramid gymnasium, Lin Xing met his juniors... and a few seniors.

For example, Rod Hannibal, Mike Atkinson, Jeff Rogers, Juquin Hawkins

These people haven't graduated yet, and this season, they have all become the main players of the 49ers.

But it wasn't them who cut the banner, but two newcomers.

"Come on, Star, let me introduce you. This is Ray Allen, and this is Keith Van Horn..."

Gentleman Lei, and Van Horn, who was second only to Duncan in the 97 draft. This season, the Long Beach branch has recruited these two to maintain its strength.

Although it is still a star player leading the team, it seems that there is no gold content.

But Lin Xing knows that the NCAA is also a skill to lead star players well.

Just like Lu's guidance, anyone can use the tactics of giving the ball to the strongest player in the team.

But there is no one else who can really use it well except Director Lu.

Not to mention, Greenberg is really a bit of Lu Guidance.

Last year, he gave the ball to Lin Xing all-in-one, and as a result, the Long Beach branch won the championship in history.

This year, without Lin Xing, he has found two young cores.

He continued to push the ball to these two young cores all at once, and as a result——

The Long Beach branch also dominated the Big West League, and, as the third seed in the West Division, entered the Crazy Three.

For the Long Beach branch, which is not a famous school in the NCAA Division I, it is not easy to get such results for two consecutive years.

If anyone gave Greenberg the title of a famous coach, no one would object to it.

Lin Xing sighed, then stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Ray Allen and Van Horn, as if they knew each other.

Let’s just get to know each other, what is a one-on-one fight on the spot, what is a few tricks to guide...

If it's Kobe and Iverson, it's still possible, but Jun Zilei and Van Horn are fine.

Gentleman Lei simply knew that he was not Lin Xing's opponent, and if he really wanted to fight, he was afraid that he would be abused into a Muggle.

As for Van Horn, this man is considered the goji brother of the 90s.

The purpose of playing basketball is just to make money, and even making money is not the most important thing.

For Van Horn, only family affection is the most important thing.

In the 96 draft, the Raptors with the second pick and the Grizzlies with the third pick both gave Van Horn a draft guarantee.

But as a result, he decided to return to school.

The reason is that he and his dad had a commitment to complete four years of college.

Later, when he entered the NBA, he was at his peak when he debuted, and he played as if he was clocking out of get off work.

After the 05-06 season, there is still gas in the tank, and he can still get a mid-level contract of about $500 million.

In this case, he chose to leave.

Is there a reason—

"I've made enough money and now, it's time to get back to my life, to my family."

Just these two juniors, it is impossible to fight with Lin Xing.

Lin Xing didn't even intend to fight the two of them, what if it was a junior?
Hmph, he will never hold back!
……

Lin Xing only spent about half a day on Long Beach.

On the night of the Warriors-Clippers game, he showed up at Charlize Theron's house.

"Auntie is on a business trip again?"

"If she doesn't go on a business trip, do you think you can sit here and watch TV in peace?"

Theron rolled her coquettish eyes. Just tonight, she wore a bunny girl uniform, which made Lin Xing very excited.

He watched the TV, his eyes tilted from time to time.

While lamenting how time passes too slowly, I am also very excited: Tonight, there must be a big battle!

([-] words omitted here.)
……

After the battle, Lin Xing turned down the volume of the TV and changed the channel.

NBC Sports, the Warriors vs. Clippers game is over.

Surprisingly, the Warriors actually lost in this last game against the West!
"Nimma, even the Clippers can lose, it's really embarrassing!"

Lying on the bed, hugging Theron, Lin Xing complained.

But if he watched the whole process of the game, he wouldn't be surprised.

Dominique Wilkins exploded, and he blasted the Warriors' flank alone.

By the way, it also started with Ron Harper, Lloyd Ott, and Mark Jackson.

To put it bluntly, the Clippers have a poor record, and the bad thing is not the lineup.

Wilkins and Ron Harper, who joined in the mid-term, are all All-Star wings.

Lloyd Ott can also be regarded as a potential presence among the young power forwards, plus a Mark Jackson who can pass the ball very well.

Even if Wilkins is replaced by the previous Danny Manning, it stands to reason that this lineup should not be a big problem in the playoffs.

Now that the game is like this, the head coach has a big problem.

Because the lineup is not bad, it is reasonable for this game to explode suddenly.

Lin Xing didn't know, he felt that the Clippers really shouldn't have lost.

He was suspended for five games. In the past four games, the Warriors have won 1 and lost 3.

If you continue to lose like this, let alone compete with the Supersonics and Rockets, the third may be lost.

After all, the Suns and Spurs are not that far behind.

After going through the current situation of the regular season in his mind, Lin Xing felt that time was running out, and he couldn't wait.

emmm, couldn't wait to turn over, and pressed Theron again.

……

Returning from Los Angeles to the Bay Area, at home, Lin Xing appeared on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes, watching the second game of the season between the Warriors and the Bullets.

In this game, the Warriors won, but it was a bit difficult to win.

With Lin Xing absent, Webber stepped up, facing Tyrone Hill, who played as a guest at the fourth position, and scored 32 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

If it weren't for the outside line, Xiao Chong and Madman both scored three-pointers. In this game, the Warriors would have to lose.

After watching this game, Lin Xing has two feelings——

One is that the Warriors rely more on his defense than the offense that can be adjusted after a few games.

The Warriors' defense is too bad. As far as configuration is concerned, there are too many problems.

For example, of the two main centers, one can only grab rebounds, and the other is just a meat shield to resist beatings.

Second, he shouldn't be wearing a suit to watch this game, it's too awkward.

At this time, the NBA has not issued a dress code, so the bench seats and those teammates who are not on the roster wear casual clothes.

Outrageous is the injured Byron Houston, who is wearing a typical street black hip-hop outfit.

What big gold chains, small gold watches, big gold rings, baseball uniforms, baseball caps, etc., all of them are on the body.

But this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that the Oakland Stadium, this guy is wearing normal clothes.

But Lin Xing in suit and leather shoes is very abnormal.

After all, everyone has finished their day's work and came to watch a ball and relax.

Everyone said to relax, who still wears a suit and restrains himself?
"This guy, Si Da, is too pretentious. He's just watching the game from the sidelines, and he even puts on a suit."

"That's right, it's as if he looks so handsome in a suit."

"Emmm, we can't tell lies. We have to admit that he's pretty handsome, just a little bit worse than me."

After the game, Lin Xing slipped into the locker room and overheard the conversation.

He was very angry and jumped out from the corner:
"Tim, what do you mean by that?"

"Hey, why are you in the locker room? No, right...you heard it all?"

Xiao Chong looked embarrassed, while Lin Xing looked serious.

"Of course, I am not deaf when riding a horse!"

"Okay, Si Da, I admit it, I lied, you are not handsome at all!"

"..."

Lin Xing was speechless, why is this guy's brain circuit different from others?

……

After the Warriors finished shooting, Lin Xing was finally about to come back.

In the regular season, there is basically only the last month of the schedule left.

Although the competition for qualifying in the regular season is still fierce, because there are not many games left, some people are already thinking about the awards after the season ends.

The best rookie, there must be no one to snatch, even in the last game, Webber cut a luxurious stat against the Warriors without Lin Xing.

After the game, when he was asked about the ownership of the best rookie, he could only spread his hands:

"I don't know why you are asking me this question? Do you still think I have a chance to steal the University's Rookie of the Year?"

From this, it can be seen.

But MVP, Dpoy, etc., there are more people with ideas.

Although Lin Xing had no idea, someone asked him——

"Do you think you have a chance to be the next Wes Unseld?"

Wes Unseld, Webber's current general manager and head coach, is a strong man who won the regular season MVP trophy in his rookie season.

Therefore, the direction of this question is very clear.

以林星出战了54场的场均数据，25.6分8.4个篮板7.6个助攻2.6个抢断和0.6个盖帽。

And the Warriors rank third in the Western Conference. Judging from the top five records in the league, he is not without a chance.

Lin Xing, who is just a latecomer, knows very well that this season is destined to belong to Hakeem Olajuwon.

And this season, the Warriors have lost to the Rockets three times, although there is still one match.

But even if they won, the overall score in the regular season was 1 to 3.

The record of the Rockets is better than that of the Warriors, and they also have the upper hand against each other. The statistics of Dameng are no worse than that of Lin Xing.

Why did Lin Xing surpass Dameng and become the MVP?

So, when hearing this question, Lin Xing's first reaction was - another reporter wanted to harm me!

Without thinking about it, he turned and walked away.

Only later did I know that it was the corner of the Eastern Conference. Scottie Pippen said that he hoped and felt that he was qualified to be the MVP of this season!

emmm... As expected of Second Master Pi, he is so confident!

Why did Pippen's fire reach Lin Xing?

Because in the first game of Lin Xing's comeback, the opponent is the Bulls!

Pi Erye not only confidently believed that he was very qualified to be the MVP of this season, but when the reporter mentioned that Lin Xing was also a strong contender for the MVP and more qualified than him, he was also surprised.

"Sta? He is a rookie, why is he a strong contender for MVP?"

The reporter immediately told him——

"Average of 25+8+7+2 per game, and a top-five record in the league."

Pippen frowned immediately, his stats were only 22+8+5+2, not as good as Lin Xing.

In terms of record, the Bulls and Warriors are only tied between the Bulls and the Warriors.

After thinking for a while: "First of all, we won a game against the Warriors. This is my advantage. The MVP selection will take this into consideration..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"You win just a Warriors team without Stalina. In the next game, the Warriors are at home and Stalina returns..."

Then, Pippen in turn interrupted the reporter who was looking for trouble: "Believe me, whether Stalin returns or not will not affect the outcome of our victory."

The reporter froze for a moment, "You mean, Stalin is not important?"

"That's right!"

"But the Warriors only had 3 wins and 5 losses in the game when he was not there, and don't forget, in the All-Star Game, he just beat you not long ago."

"First of all, little guy, I'll tell you that the All-Star Game was just an exhibition game, and I didn't take it seriously!"

Pippen spread his hands and continued, "Secondly, Star may be very important to the Warriors, but as long as I'm around, he won't be able to play. You have to trust my defense!"

Seeing that the troublesome reporter nodded, as if agreeing with himself, Pippen chose to return to the original topic.

"Then go back to the question at the beginning. In addition to the advantage of the record, you can't ignore that the Bulls this season are the Bulls without Mike, and I took the Bulls to the top three in the Eastern Conference."

"But Star University's performance in leading the team is not bad. The Warriors were still a lottery last year. This year, they have one more Star University, and they rank among the top three in the Western Conference."

"I don't have any helpers. Sta, he has bugs, Mullin, and madmen..."

Finally, the reporter who caused the trouble had nothing to say and was powerless to refute.

In terms of the star power of the lineup, the Bulls are indeed a little bit worse.

……

In the Bay Area, Lin Xing got feedback from reporters.

I have to say that Pippen's answers are outrageous.

Consider yourself an MVP contender?Are you really not paying attention to big dreams?
Lin Xing thought it was funny. As far as MVP is concerned, Lin Xing thinks that he will be ranked higher than Pippen in the MVP points ranking at the end of the season.

the reason?While the record is not weak, the data is better, especially the high-level data, which can be said to have crushed Pippen.

At this time, it is necessary to introduce a classic high-level data, the Per value!
This season, Lin Xing's Per value can be said to be historical, as high as 31.6.

Overwhelmed the Admiral at 30.7, the Shark at 28.5, and the Big Dream at 25.3.

After that, it was Pippen at 23.2.

It is a pity that John Hollinger has just graduated from college, and the concept of Per value has not yet been proposed.

"Schrödinger's Per value is very suitable for me in Zhan Hua. Why don't you find a reporter and find a way to get this thing out in advance?"

Then there is Pippen's so-called advantage over Lin Xing. In terms of the record of playing against each other, a game that Lin Xing didn't play can be used to overwhelm Lin Xing and laugh to death.

And his boastful ability to lead the team, it's like Lin Xing didn't lead the team.

In the last quotation from King Ning, Lin Xing directly suspected——

What Horace Grant, what BJ Armstrong, just after listening to his words, will choose to leave the Bulls within the next one or two seasons.

"I really have no EQ!"
