System: I am always awesome in the NBA
Chapter 168
Lin Hao pretended to be disdainful and said, "Tsk!"
Walking out of the hospital gate, Lin Hao's expression became very serious.
His relaxed look just now was all an act.
It's really difficult to lead such a bad team into the playoffs!
He didn't expect Kupchak to trade for a helper at all.
Historically, the Lakers played badly for three consecutive seasons until they acquired Gasol in 2008.
And this season has just begun.
……
What Lin Hao didn't know was that during the few hours he visited Kobe, the outside world was already in an uproar about Kobe's injury.
Almost everyone predicted that the Lakers would miss the playoffs this season.
The most popular one is of course the black braised egg.
Ever since the old rogue kissed the donkey's butt, he hated Lin Hao to the core.
Therefore, he made a bold statement in a program:
"Lin Hao is just a rookie and has never proven his scoring ability."
"He's currently averaging 21.1 points per game, but please note that this is without a double-team."
"As soon as Kobe gets hurt, his true form will show up immediately."
"More importantly, Lin Hao has never proven his ability to lead a team alone."
"I predict that the Lakers will definitely be at the bottom of the Western Conference this season."
At this time, even Barkley, Lin Hao's number one fan, was pessimistic about the Lakers' prospects:
"After Kobe was injured, Lin was left with only Lamar Odom, who averaged less than 18 points per game."
"It's really hard to make the playoffs with this lineup. Let's pray for him!"
After hearing these remarks, teammates came to comfort Lin Hao.
But everyone could see the obvious worry and lack of confidence in their eyes.
……
Amidst outside doubts, the Lakers faced their second opponent since the All-Star Game - the Memphis Grizzlies.
In the past, the Lakers would not even look at such a bad team.
But now, things are completely different.
The most important reason is of course Kobe's injury.
Another reason is that the Grizzlies are currently in great momentum.
After the All-Star Game, the playoffs are getting closer and closer.
The Grizzlies currently have a 54.9% win rate, ranking 8th in the Western Conference.
If you don't handle it well, you will be eliminated.
Therefore, in order to get a ticket to the playoffs, the entire team is like a bloodthirsty hungry wolves.
Lin Hao was also very excited, even a little nervous.
This is the first time he has played as the boss since entering the NBA.
In the past, when we lost a game, fans would only blame Kobe.
But if we lose this game, the responsibility will be all on him.
Therefore, this game is of particular significance.
At nine o'clock that evening, the main players of both teams entered the field.
To be honest, the Grizzlies' lineup is pretty good.
The PG is "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, and the SG is Mike Miller who has won the best rookie award;
SF is "President" Shane Battier and PF is All-Star power forward Pau Gasol.
Only center Lorenzen White is slightly weaker.
In addition, their bench lineup is also quite gorgeous, with strong players such as Bonzi Wells, Stromeye Swift and James Posey.
"What is Phil doing? He's actually letting Lin play power forward?"
When the Lakers' starting lineup came out, the audience was stunned.
PG Parker, SG Vujacic, C Chris Mihm, all of these are fine.
But Lin Hao actually switched positions with Odom.
The last time they played against the Timberwolves, the audience could understand why Lin Hao played power forward because Odom was injured.
But why this time?
It turned out that after Lin Hao relayed Kobe's words to the Zen Master, the Zen Master agreed very much.
So he put Odom at the 3 position to fully unleash his shooting ability.
In this game, Lin Hao's opponent was the 2.13-meter-tall power forward Pau Gasol.
The game officially begins.
Mim won a rare jump ball.
Death dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Odom.
