System: I am always awesome in the NBA

"No, it seems like one is missing. Lamar is not here."

The attentive Chrismim suddenly said.

"what?"

Everyone looked around and realized that Odom was really not there!

"What the hell is that bastard doing?! He finally got back to normal for a while, but now he's failing at the crucial moment!"

Kobe became famous all of a sudden.

"No need to wait for him."

At this time, Phil Jackson waved his hand and said calmly.

"I just heard from the team doctor that Lamar hit his head too hard during training and needs to sit out one game."

It turned out that during training, Odom suddenly had the urge to imitate Lin Hao's dunk.

As a result, this guy was actually distracted while dunking.

He hit his head on the bottom edge of the backboard and needed several stitches.

"Lamar is such a fucking weirdo!"

Everyone was very speechless.

However, no one took this matter to heart.

Just a minor injury.

Besides, the Lakers currently have a very good record, with 19 wins and 6 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference.

It doesn't matter much even if we lose this game.

"Lin, what's wrong with you? I know you're close to Lamar."

"But he only had a minor injury. There's no need for you to be so sad!"

Kobe said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Hao.

I saw that he was lowering his head, trembling all over, as if... as if he was crying.

"Lin, it's common for athletes to get stitches on their heads. Why are you so upset?"

Mim asked doubtfully.

"Oh, it's okay, I just thought of something sad."

Lin Hao raised his head and said calmly.

In fact, he was not sad, nor heartbroken, but excited and thrilled.

In this game, Lamar was absent, and the team's power forwards were only Medvedenko and Brian Grant.

These two guys have almost become invisible in the team, with their combined average points per game less than 6 points.

In this way, Lin Hao can swing to the No. 4 position and face off against the Timberwolves' star player Garnett.

The reason why he was so eager to fight the Wolf King was very simple.

Garnett, who is currently in his prime, is judged by the system to be a top superstar.

Last season, he was selected to the first team and first defense and won the MVP.

In addition, he was an All-Star starter and rebounding leader.

Even Kobe and Iverson cannot match such a glorious honor.

Sprewell and Cassell have performed poorly this season and have been judged as ordinary players by the system.

If he continues to play the No. 3 position, no matter how high the score is, he will not get any attribute points.

When playing against Garnett, even if you don't score, you can get 30 attribute points by just grabbing 10 rebounds.

More importantly, Lin Hao discovered a pattern in the system's lottery.

That is, the stronger the star you are facing, the higher the probability of drawing a skill.

He can draw good skills when playing against ordinary stars and all-stars, so what about the top stars?

Thinking of this, Lin Hao went to sit next to Phil Jackson's seat.

"Phil, let me play the 4 position in this game and guard Garnett?"

He looked at the Zen master with burning eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was petrified, their mouths hanging open.

are you joking?

You, a small forward who is just over two meters tall, are defending a 2.11-meter power forward?

"Why? I need a reason!" said the Zen master.

"If I don't play the 4 position, who can guard Garnett?"

Lin Hao said.

"Others can't defend it, but you can, right?"

Phil Jackson said lightly.

Garnett is a famous long-legged monkey and he can jump very high. How can you defend him?

"With Lamar gone, the rebounding is not guaranteed. I can make up for the rebounding gap by playing inside."

Lin Hao said.

This sounds quite reasonable.

"Okay!" The Zen master finally agreed.

Of course, the most crucial reason why he agreed was that the Timberwolves were a weak team.

Last season, with the three-headed monster of Cassell, Sprewell and Garnett, the Timberwolves successfully reached the Western Conference Finals.

Unfortunately, they were defeated by the Lakers with the "F4" at the last minute.

Since then, the team has gone from bad to worse.

This season, they have no hope of even making the playoffs.

Therefore, even if Lin Hao does not perform well at the No. 4 position, Kobe can step up and save the game.

"Lin is such a selfless and noble player!"

All the Lakers players were feeling emotional.

You know, the Timberwolves don't have many perimeter defensive pioneers.

If Lin Hao played the No. 3 position, he could easily score 30+ or ​​even 40+.

But in order to ensure the team's rebounding and to limit Garnett, he actually went to play the No. 4 position.

……

At 9:30 that night, the Lakers vs. Timberwolves game officially began.

The Target Center was bustling with activity.

The vast majority of fans present were fans of Garnett, which shows the popularity of the Wolf King in Minnesota.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup is: PG Cassell, SG Sprewell, SF Szczerbiak, PF Garnett, C Olowokandi.

When the Lakers' starting lineup was unveiled, the audience was stunned.

PG Death God Parker, SG Kobe, SF Devin George, PF Lin Hao, C Chris Mihm.

"Oh my God, did Phil take the wrong medicine tonight? Letting Lin Hao play the 4th position?"

"I understand, Phil wants to use Lin Hao to restrict our Wolf King!"

the commentator shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, the audience was furious.

Yes, we admit that you, Lin Hao, have strong defensive abilities.

But you, a small forward who is just over 2 meters tall, are actually here to defend our 2.11-meter-tall gibbon Garnett?

Isn’t this a bit too much?

Suddenly, the entire audience booed Lin Hao.

"Hey, Lin, you want to be tortured tonight, right?"

Garnett had a grim look on his face.

If you were on the outside, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you.

But I won’t allow you to go inside.
