The day after the game, all Celtics players returned to Boston.
Kobe Bryant's 81 points still tops the North American hot search list, but Lin Yu's consecutive 40+ points and the double-double in this game directly won him the title on February 25, 2006.
Headlines of the day.
The headline of the Boston Daily Mail: “With a crazy double-double, China’s Lin leads the team to another victory!”
Yahoo Sports' headline: "China's Lin had a crazy night, scoring 47 points, 22 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!"
ESPN's headline: "Averaging 8.2 points per game, role players score 40+ points in a row. Is this the craziest role player performance in history?"
There was even a headline in the New York Times: "China Lin's crazy performances helped the Celtics win two consecutive games. After Paul Pierce was injured, he proved that he is the star of this Celtics team!"
"
ESPN TV's special program that night first discussed Kobe's 81 points, and then spent most of the program discussing Lin Yu's crazy performance.
"At the same time as Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, there was another magical individual performance. Here, we want to mention the forward and guard swingman Lin Yu from the Boston Celtics, that is,
The China Forest in Charles Barkley’s mouth.”
Host Skip Bayless opened the show and then introduced Lin Yu’s two outbursts: “In the game against the Nets, China Lin’s personal statistics were 48 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Throughout the game, his style of play was Kobe Bryant-style, and at the end of the game, he got Michael Jordan-style numbers."
"Then, in the game against the 76ers, he scored another 47 points, 22 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. An even crazier statistic. The only pity is that he scored two consecutive games.
With such an explosion, his scoring was just shy of breaking 50 points."
"If it was Kobe Bryant who completed these two performances, we would say, don't make a fuss. You should know that this is just a routine operation for Kobe this season, but if the one who scored 40+ in a row was a player who had previously averaged
For a role player with 8.2 points, you should be surprised by that."
"To be precise, this was an explosion that no one could have imagined. No one could have imagined that a perimeter role player who once made a living on defense could actually complete such an amazing explosion. If it were an explosion, he might be
Unexpected, but he played two games in a row. I think we must use the performance of these two games to evaluate China Lin’s true personal strength..."
On the other hand, under Lin Yu's instruction, the Yahoo Sports column published an article signed by Amanda Gray.
The title of the article reads: "Two consecutive games with 40+ points, linsanity is on the way!"
The word linsanity is a compound word of lin and insanity (crazy). Lin naturally represents Lin Yu, and the latter insanity naturally means crazy.
After the outbreak of two consecutive games, Lin Yu impatiently proposed the concept of Linsanity.
With the help of Amanda Grey, the word "Linsanity" spread rapidly, but in North America, Linsanity has not yet affected most fans.
It was just bombarded by national headlines, bombarded by various special programs on ESPN, and the somewhat special word "linsanity" proposed by Amanda Grey.
More and more fans, more and more media, more and more basketball experts, commentators and commentators have begun to pay attention to Lin Yu's crazy journey.
Back in Boston, the Celtics have about two days of rest. Two days later, they will now face the Miami Heat at home.
One day apart, they will head to the West for a three-game road trip. They will first play the Clippers, then the Lakers, and finally the Timberwolves.
Lin Yu calculated carefully. After using the two time-limited cards with the most significant effects, he now only has one "Voice from the Side of the Court", one "Three Minutes of Death" and one "Player of Your Choice". "Experience Card" is now available.
After careful consideration, he decided to use the "courtside sound" for home games.
The reason is that he considered that if he used this special effects card and performed too outrageously, the away fans might be silenced by him, or even leave the game early.
Not if it's at home. The home fans will only become crazier and crazier as Lin Yu plays more and more, becoming more and more enthusiastic, and the noise will only get louder and louder.
As long as the fans on the sidelines create enough noise, then this "voice from the sidelines" can have the greatest impact.
"That's it, let's use the 'courtside voice' tomorrow!"
After the regular training on the training day, Lin Yu stayed in the training hall to continue training. His three three-point attributes were already at full potential, and there was nothing to improve.
But in the last game, those fadeaway jumpers he shot that hit the frame always made him feel very strange, as if there was something waiting for him to dig out.
Therefore, he chose to practice extra, and used the extra practice time to try these strange fadeaway jumpers, and even the wave giant's face-to-face ball-holding offense, high and low post attacks, etc.
On the empty court, Lin Yu first designated a position for himself, held a basketball in his hands, jumped up, twisted his body, and threw the ball backwards.
The moment he took the shot, he felt as if his whole soul had left his body. He could look down at a 45-degree angle and watch himself shoot backwards.
Then, through this spectator's perspective, he was able to find for himself some obvious flaws in this shot.
For example, in the shot just now, his shot was a little flawed, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.
Lin Yu picked up the ball again and stood in the same position again.
"Again."
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu started with his back to the basket, jumped into the air, twisted his body in the air, and still leaned back a little.
The moment he took the shot, he clearly felt that as long as he raised his hand higher, he would surely score the ball.
But he still couldn't handle it well, and with a bang, the thrown basketball struck again.
In the third attempt, Lin Yu had learned the lessons from the first two times, but this time, he used too much force when taking off, leaned back a little too much, and missed again.
Until the fourth time, he perfectly completed the fadeaway jumper, and with a bang, the basketball hit the net.
"Could it be said that using the experience card has other effects?"
In Lin Yu's view, he can now clearly see the entire process of his fadeaway jump shot in training, and from the perspective of a bystander, he can give himself very reasonable suggestions for improvement.
This is a special effect brought about by using the experience card.
He tried Bo's back-turn jumper again, and it had the same effect.
"Is this a buff obtained after using the experience card?"
He thought about the attributes he obtained through stealing, Kobe's single-defense attributes, Durant's three three-point attributes, and UAE's open mid-range shots.
To put it bluntly, these direct attribute rewards only provide him with a possible upper limit, and he can play his role within this attribute value range.
And if he wants to maximize his role, what he has to do is practice the corresponding skills.
The buffs given by these experience cards are actually the corresponding skills.
For example, if he now has a disturbed mid-range jumper attribute of over 90 points, coupled with Kobe's fadeaway jumper, he will be another Kobe Bryant, facing the defense and making whatever shots he wants.
But it is a pity that his current interference mid-range shooting attribute is still very low. Even if it is paired with Kobe's fadeaway jumper, it will not have much effect.
Of course, from the process of his practice, he also understood that even if he got the opportunity to learn, it also meant that he needed to invest time to learn these offensive or defensive skills. Only when he can really use them skillfully can he
The moment when you really have these offensive or defensive skills.
"So, my current single defense should have some of the habits of Kobe Bryant, and I mainly focus on three-point shooting. Unfortunately, my mid-range shooting attributes and short-range shooting attributes are generally not high, whether it is
I can’t use Kobe’s fadeaway jump shot or several of the offensive skills of the wave giants..."
