Chapter 008 Angrily slashing 2 boards and 1 mistake
As Charles Barkley said, Lin Yu did not get more playing time.
After the second quarter, Lin Yu once again sat at the end of the bench in the second half and never played again.
However, for Lin Yu, he is very satisfied with being able to play in this game. Now it is really difficult for him to ask for more playing time.
At least his appearance in the second half of the second quarter has completely changed his NBA career. The technical statistics after the game have his name for the first time.
Played for 6 minutes and 37 seconds, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 1 turnover, no shots and no free throws. This is Lin Yu's NBA debut and his achievements.
Single.
In the view of Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, although Lin Yu's statistics are not eye-catching, the role he played in the more than six minutes he played was crucial.
He only saw one piece of data that many people would not pay attention to, the plus and minus values.
In this game, Lin Yu's plus-minus value was +9, which means that when he was on the court, the Celtics beat the Bobcats by 9 points.
Throughout the entire game, the time when the Celtics took the lead and widened the point difference was in the second half of the second quarter.
After further analysis, Rivers clearly knew that it was precisely because Lin Yu's clinging defense locked up the Bobcats' leading scorer Gerald Wallace that the Bobcats' offense was misfired during that period.
Only then did the Celtics get a chance, take the lead and open up the score.
With a buzzing sound and the beeping of the timer, the game was over.
There were cheers at TD North Shore Garden Arena. The Celtics defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 96:89 and won a home victory, ending their two-game losing streak.
Lin Yu and his teammates stood on the sidelines with the cheers, and Gao Ju clapped towards the sidelines with both hands.
At this time, Ricky Davis touched Lin Yu's side and poked Lin Yu: "Hey, Lin, to celebrate your successful NBA debut, see you at the classic bar later?"
Lin Yu glanced at coach Lex Karamian not far away, and shook his head with a grimace: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
"No, I'm treating you to a treat. I'll call Paul, Tony and the others. Don't let the fun down."
Lin Yu still shook his head and told the truth: "Lex asked me to stay in the North Shore Garden at night to practice more, and he will supervise me."
"..."
Ricky Davis was a little helpless and didn't know what to say.
Lin Yu thought for a while: "Ricky, how about tomorrow, I'll treat you."
Hearing this, Ricky Davis smiled again on his face. He smiled and poked Lin Yu with his arm: "Okay, let's have fun tomorrow."
In the home team's locker room at the North Shore Garden Arena, the players had taken showers one after another and sat down in their seats.
Jim Brevo walked to the locker room door, opened it, and shouted toward the door: "Hey guys, it's media time."
Immediately, the sound of rumbling footsteps was heard outside the door. Lin Yu, who was sitting in the corner of the locker room, was soon surrounded by a group of hungry reporters.
He raised his head and scanned the reporters in front of him. Most of them had yellow-skinned faces, and only one or two were white or black reporters.
"Lin, you made your debut in today's game, tell me what you think?"
The first person to ask the question was a local reporter from Boston, reporter Jackie McMullan of the "Boston Globe". He asked a very formulaic question.
Lin Yu answered this question in English with a smile: "I am very happy that after waiting for more than a season, I finally made my personal debut in the NBA, and I am very much looking forward to the next games and hope that I can get more
More playing time.”
Then, a reporter from China rushed ahead of several other American reporters and couldn't wait to ask a question: "Dayu, tell me how you feel about this game. Do you find it difficult? After all, this is the NBA.
level of confrontation.”
Lin Yu frowned. He was very familiar with the little-eyed reporter who asked the question. He had always criticized him before, but now he acted like he was very familiar with him and asked a question that looked down on Lin Yu. This made Lin Yu
A little unhappy.
He took a look at this guy's press pass. He was a reporter from the domestic "Sports Weekly" named Yang Meng, and then he remembered the name.
Lin Yu still answered the question raised by the reporter named Yang Meng.
"I didn't feel it was very difficult. The task assigned to me by the coach was to defend Gerald Wallace, and in normal team training, I often faced off against Pierce, so for this kind of intense confrontation, I
Already very familiar."
Lin Yu immediately motioned to the next reporter to ask questions.
Then, another reporter from China asked the third question: "You only grabbed 2 rebounds in this game and your offensive performance was very soy. Will this affect your evaluation by coach Doc Rivers?"
?”
Lin Yu took another look at the press card. He was from Xinhai Sports reporter named Shenyang, and then he also remembered this name.
Regarding this question, Lin Yu's answer was: "The task assigned to me by the coach is defense, so my performance on the offensive end will not affect the coach's evaluation of me."
Afterwards, Lin Yu really didn't want these reporters from China to ask him questions. He named a few Americans in succession, answered a few questions that made him feel slightly comfortable, and hastily announced the end of this time.
Post-game interview.
"Hey, Lex, help me make some arrangements. I'm going to go practice some extra time."
Lex Kalamian smiled and made an OK gesture, called Brian Du, and then led Lin Yu, who had already changed into training clothes, to the strength training room of the North Shore Garden Arena.
Lin Yu's post-match training began.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yu got up early again. As usual, after washing up, he turned on the computer and browsed the sports news from the United States and China while eating the breakfast he had prepared last night.
There are still not many reports about him in the United States, but domestically, the headline position has been changed from Dayao to Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu took a look at the news about Dayao first. The Rockets lost again, this time to the Memphis Grizzlies with Pau Gasol.
Dayao's touch was not good, he only made 4 of 13 shots, and scored 15 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, a very versatile statistic.
However, there are still a lot of comments in the comment column below the news, dissatisfied that the Rockets gave Yao too little ball rights.
Lin Yu felt bored by the same comments, so he returned to the sports homepage and clicked on the headlines that reported on him.
The title is: "Successful debut, Lin Yu scored 2 rebounds and 1 mistake!"
Well, Lin Yu's self-made "angry chop" meme was only posted two days ago, and now even reporters are using it. With this special UC-style title, the comment column under the news naturally doesn't need to be thought about. It's definitely
There are a lot of negative comments.
Sure enough, when I clicked on it, the first comment was from an honest person: "Can you also use the word "slash" for 2 rebounds and 1 mistake? Is the editor Gou exaggerating about Lin Yu too much?"
Lin Yu wanted to reply to him: "Which of your special eyes saw that this bitch was blowing me?"
After thinking about it, he felt that it would be useless to go back.
Until he counters these remarks with his personal performance, it is all in vain.
But when he thought about it again, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something. He immediately used a trumpet account he registered two days ago and replied: "Your special code is because your IQ is worrying, right? This bitch is obviously blackmailing Lin Yu!"
Then, he responded to several negative comments about himself, all in a refuting tone.
The task was completed, Lin Yu smiled, he got another meme to steal, and the future seemed brighter.
