Chapter 142 The next opponent—AI!

Although the Magic sent away McGrady this season, they also got back Big F, "Old Cat" Mobley, the third overall pick Howard and the returning Grant Hill.

At first glance, the Magic's strength on paper is pretty good.

However, the Magic's plan at this time is not to make the playoffs.

But it is to help young people level up.

Young players such as Dwight Howard, Turkoglu, and Jameer Nelson got a lot of playing time.

It is also because of this that the Magic only won 33 games in the original history and did not make it to the playoffs.

Playing against such a team, Lin Yu naturally had no pressure.

After scoring 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in three quarters, he was kept on the bench by Rivers.

……

Magic general manager Weisbrod was filled with pity when he saw Lin Yu's outstanding performance.

He had the chance to bring Lin Yu to Orlando...

In the end, the Celtics easily defeated the Magic 102:94.

After the game, Warcraft took the initiative to step forward and greet Lin Yu.

The bright smile on his face was not affected at all by the loss.

Lin Yu also knew that the Warcraft at this moment was still the 'Happy Beast'.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, and we are all from the class of 04.

After some conversation, I exchanged contact information with Warcraft.

Lin Yu left Orlando with his teammates and flew to Chicago.

This season's Bulls have completely gotten rid of their weak-team image of last season after sending away "Little Shark" Eddy Curry and trading for Luol Deng in the offseason.

The starting five: center "Boxing Champion" Chandler, power forward O'Donio, Davis, small forward Luol Deng, shooting guard Kirk Hinrich, point guard Chris Duhon.

With the addition of Ben Gordon on the bench, the Bulls' lineup is missing the "Little Shark" Eddy Curry compared to the original history.

If it were in the West, the Bulls would definitely not make the playoffs.

But in the Eastern Conference, this lineup will have no problem making the playoffs.

However, in terms of playing style, the Bulls were completely restrained by the Celtics.

Whether in the original history or this history, no player on the Bulls averaged more than 20 points per game.

But Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Hinrich all averaged more than 10 points per game.

At this time, the Bulls are playing a typical style of play where everyone is a soldier.

This style of play seems to be pretty good.

However, this style of play is what the Celtics are least afraid of.

The defense outside the three-point line did not give the Bulls players space to shoot, forcing them to go into the mid-range.

Once entering the mid-range, Lin Yu's help defense came.

In this game, the entire Bulls team transformed into the Iron King of Chicago.

洛尔.邓全场13中3，本.戈登全场15中5，辛里奇全场12中4……

Many Chicago fans were so angry that they chose to leave the game at the end of the third quarter.

This is crazy...

What are you hitting!?

After Lin Yu scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, he easily clocked out of get off work.

The Celtics defeated the Bulls 102:87, achieving eight consecutive wins, and now only have one last opponent left on their Eastern Conference road trip.

Philadelphia 76ers!
This team has only achieved 43 wins in its original history, and generally speaking it is not considered a strong team.

But this team has a player!
Allen Iverson!
In the original history, Allen Iverson won the scoring title this season with an average of 30.1 points per game.

Although Arenas is outstanding, he has always been the league's second-top scorer.

He has never won a scoring title in his career.

But Iverson is different, he is a true scoring champion level star!

In the impression, Coach Lu defended Iverson.

In fact, this is an impression flow.

In that year's finals, Coach Lu only averaged 14.6 minutes per game.

The playing time in a game exceeded 20 minutes.

And then...the Lakers lost that game.

Although judging from the game footage, Coach Lue was guarding Iverson throughout the game, making Iverson look uncomfortable.

But according to statistics, in the four games that the Lakers won, Iverson took a total of 121 shots and made 48 of them.

Among these 73 missed shots, only 9 were missed when facing Tyronn Lue's one-on-one defense, and the other 3 were missed when Lue and his teammates double-teamed him.

Coach Lue can indeed interfere with Iverson, but it is a fantasy to say that he can defend Iverson.

At present, if we remove Iverson from this digital team, the strength can only be described as very weak.

The starting second position player, Kyle Korver, is a sophomore rookie who is not good at defense and can only serve as a three-point shooter.

Iguodala, the starting power forward, is a rookie this year and is still leveling up.

The inside combination is blue-collar center Samuel Dalembert and blue-collar power forward Kenny Thomas.

In the original history, Webber was traded to Iverson in the middle of the season.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to describe the current 76ers as "CBA teammates", but Iverson does not have a reliable helper at this time.

Lin Yu was actually very emotional about this situation.

Every player has his own attributes.

For example, Garnett has top-notch defense, can grab rebounds, and can also assist from high positions.

But the offensive capability is insufficient.

Therefore, he needs teammates who can attack with the ball and shoot key shots.

James has top-notch ball-handling and passing abilities.

But once the opponent accumulates a large number of players in the interior, three or four players are under the basket.

Even James couldn't get the ball into the basket easily.

Therefore, he needs his teammates to help him create offensive space.

Although Iverson has a strong scoring ability, his defense is really not good due to his height limitation.

Therefore, he needs his teammates to help him make up for his defensive problems.

Larry Brown once designed such a lineup for Iverson.

But Larry Brown didn't help Iverson find a second scoring point.

This leads to one thing.

When the game came to the final moments, everyone knew it.

The 76ers could only rely on Iverson to solve the problem, so they naturally focused on defending Iverson.

It can be said that Iverson has never found a lineup system that perfectly suits him throughout his career.

However, this does not hinder Iverson's current strength.

The Celtics are now afraid of teams with top guards.

Rivers is also helpless about this and can only wait until the trading market opens and see the situation!

After arriving in Philadelphia, everyone got on the bus to the hotel.

Pierce's phone rang.

"Alan, what do you want from me?"

"Have you and Lin arrived in Philadelphia? I'll take you to have fun!"

"OK!"

When someone invited him to dinner, Pierce naturally would not refuse and agreed directly.

"Text me your hotel address. I'll have someone pick you up later."

Hung up the phone with Iverson.

Pierce said to Lin Yu: "Lin, Allen is treating us to dinner tonight, and he specifically asked me to take you with him."

Lin Yu knew without thinking that it was most likely that they were having fun in a nightclub.

But all the girls in Meilijia are of this style. When Lin Yu won the NCAA championship, he went to a nightclub to have fun.

Therefore, he did not refuse and nodded to agree.

When Dio, Okur and others heard that it was Iverson who was treating them, they immediately cast envious glances at Lin Yu.

Iverson's move undoubtedly shows his appreciation for Lin Yu.
