Sean Elliott, except for the Pistons in the 1993/94 season, played for the Spurs in the other 11 seasons.
He was the No. 3 overall pick in 1989, a two-time All-Star, and was once the right-hand man of Admiral David Robinson. He was one of the contributors to the Spurs' 1999 championship. He was a 20+5+3 shooter at his peak, averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game.
point.
Just looking at his career experience and statistics, Sean Elliott is pretty good, at least he is an All-Star, but compared to Lin Yu, he is far behind.
In the regular season this season, Lin Yu averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, averaging 3.5 three-pointers per game.
All statistics, except for rebounds, all crushed Sean Elliott. Even if the attribute that followed was peak Sean Elliott, it was considered weakened for Lin Yu.
Looking at the other four choices, the one Kawhi Leonard gave should not be Leonard from fmvp, but Leonard who later led the team alone.
Below Leonard is Sean Elliott, followed by Danny Green, and finally Jerome Kersey and Amy Udoka.
For Lin Yu, not getting Leonard by chance was already a failure, and he no longer had any expectations for the second game of the finals.
"Let's try again in the third game..."
"Lin's injury examination report has reached preliminary conclusions. At present, the situation is not optimistic. He will miss tomorrow's game. We will conduct further examinations on him to evaluate the possibility of his return in the finals."
At the press conference before the second game of the Finals, Mike Brown caused an outcry over Lin Yu's ankle sprain.
Immediately afterwards, a reporter asked: "So, what are the preliminary examination results? Isn't it a sprained ankle?"
Mike Brown shook his head: "No, no, our examination report at Cleveland Mission Hospital showed that on the surface it looked like an ankle sprain, but his old injury seemed to be somewhat affected."
Relapse of old injury?
Many reporters began to make associations, and they suddenly believed Mike Brown's words, because Lin Yu's old injury was between the thigh and hip, and there was a high possibility that the sprained ankle would affect this area.
Lin Yu's old injury has been popularized before, and it is an injury that is easy to relapse. In the past entire regular season, Lin Yu played in 82 games without any trace of a serious injury. At that time, many reporters were puzzled.
Now, no one would be surprised that Lin Yu's old injury relapsed.
The press conference was broadcast live, and Lin Yu was watching the live broadcast. He always felt that he was cursed by Mike Brown and felt uncomfortable all over.
Far away in Boston, Danny Ainge has not yet appeared in front of the public. Now he can only stay at home and control all the affairs of the Celtics.
But now, the draft has not started yet, and the free market and trade market are far from opening. With nothing to do, he is also paying attention to the finals.
Danny Ainge knows very well that whether the Cavaliers win the championship depends on how difficult it is for him to clear himself.
When he saw Mike Brown announcing that Lin Yu's injury might have some deeper hidden dangers, Danny Ainge slammed the table, and he felt the chance of a comeback!
Michael Leon Carr is now temporarily taking over Danny Ainge's responsibilities. He will always appear in Danny Ainge's office to communicate with Ainge about the draft and new season signings and transactions.
At this time, Michael Lyon-Carr was also there. He looked at the excited Danny Ainge in astonishment and was a little confused.
"Why did I trade Lin? The Big Three are not the main reason. The main reason is his injury. His injury is scientifically called a hip labral tear. It is an injury that can easily relapse. Of course he has great potential. This past season
, he proved his potential."
Danny Ainge immediately began to explain, shaking his head: "But what's the use of potential? In the face of injuries, even Michael Jordan will decline sharply."
The further he explained, the more excited Anji became. He felt that he had made a comeback. Now if he thinks about Lin Yu's deal, the media's comments would become: exchanging Lin Yu, who is at risk of serious injury, for two first-rounders.
A second-rounder and the important bargaining chip of Kevin Garnett, Alexander Pavlovich, was acquired in the trade. This transaction was a huge profit!
Gregg Popovich was not watching the live broadcast, because at the same time, Popovich was also preparing for the upcoming pre-game press conference.
When he heard the news, Popovich shook his head: "Whether the news that China Lin will not play is a smoke bomb or not, we cannot underestimate the enemy. Anyway, we have already practiced our defense against China Lin. In the next game, we will
It depends."
"When China Lin comes out, we will defend him and lock him down!"
Popovich has seen through the nature of this finals. LeBron James without shooting is no longer a threat. Even if James can produce excellent statistics, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to win.
It will only be Lin Yu who decides the outcome.
"We must guard against China Lin, because among the Cavaliers, he is the only one who can completely destroy our defensive system!"
One day later, at the Quicken Loans Center Arena, the second game of the Finals without any expectations was about to begin.
Of course, the so-called lack of expectations is only for Lin Yu personally. Other Cavaliers players and fans have high expectations for this game.
"We have won the first home game, and now it's time for us to pursue the victory and win the second game. I played poorly in the last game, but I have adjusted back..."
Before the game, LeBron James once again made bold statements.
Lin Yu, who passed by James and heard the whole process, shook his head secretly. In terms of character, James at this time was still a bit young and energetic, and he would always speak arrogant words.
After being criticized wildly for his decision, he restrained his personality and suddenly became very deep-tempered and very good at dealing with the media.
But now, James obviously hasn't suffered the media's losses yet.
There is no suspense about this rant this time, he is about to slap himself in the face again.
James's rhetoric was one of the most heated topics discussed in the commentary box before the game, but it was still far less discussed than Lin Yu, who was originally said to be unable to appear in Mike Brown's mouth, but suddenly appeared in the starting lineup half an hour before the start of the game.
More.
"Obviously, Mike Brown did some off-court tactics, but Gregg Popovich wasn't going to be fooled, and it didn't work."
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith was shaking his head.
Charles Barkley also shook his head. After shaking his head, he smiled and said: "Yes, it is of no use, but what I am concerned about is that China Lin is fighting with injuries again. Can he still perform a drama similar to the return of the king?"
In front of the TV, Danny Ainge, who was watching the finals, was confused: Why did he play again?
After hearing Barkley's commentary, Danny Ainge immediately thought for sure: China Lin is playing with injuries again, he is finished, completely finished!
