On the morning of the 16th, Toyota Center suddenly became lively.
The game time hadn't come yet, and what appeared in the arena was a group of star or non-star players who were about to participate in the All-Star Weekend, a group of reporters, and league staff.
Lin Yu was wandering around wearing his rookie game jersey. In the distance, the All-Stars from the Eastern Conference were gathering together to take a group photo.
"China Lin, long time no see."
As the host, Tracy McGrady came over, said hello to Lin Yu, took a look at Lin Yu's jersey, and asked with some surprise: "Are you participating in the rookie game? Why didn't you enter the main game?"
Lin Yu spread his hands: "Do you think a swingman who averages 14.8 points per game has a chance to enter the All-Star Game?"
"If you're in the East, it's not impossible. A 'Linsanity' is enough to get you into the main draw."
"But 'Linsanity' happened at the end of January. At that time, All-Star voting was almost over."
Lin Yu continued to spread his hands, and McGrady said with regret: "That's such a shame, I still want to play against you in the All-Star game."
"By the way, where's Yao?"
After searching the entire arena, Lin Yu could not see Dayao. McGrady is Dayao's teammate and should know something about the situation.
"He? He went to participate in a community service event jointly organized by the league and the Rockets. He will be there in about half an hour."
The All-Star Weekend is like this every year. Many people only focus on the court. In fact, the star players participating in the All-Star Weekend spend more time off the court, especially in so-called community service activities.
Lin Yu wandered around for a while and said hello to Wade and Kobe Bryant. Although he is still a little-known role player now, thanks to "Linsanity", he is even more popular than some star players.
high.
After a while, Dayao finally appeared.
"Brother Yao, long time no see, what have you been doing?"
Dayao stood in front of Lin Yu with messy hair, wearing a painter's coat, and with his huge figure, he looked very funny.
"Forget it, the alliance's community service activity, I went to paint a wall for an old man in Chinatown."
Lin Yu gave a thumbs up: "Your height is perfect for painting walls. You don't even need a ladder. I suggest you paint walls full-time after you retire."
"You guy!" Dayao smiled and patted Lin Yu. "By the way, are you going to play in the rookie game?"
"Yes, he is the starting shooting guard of the first-year team. He should have a lot of roles."
"Then I have to spare some time and go to the scene to cheer you on."
"..."
After chatting for a while, Dayao was called by the league staff to take makeup photos, and Lin Yu was also called by staff from another league to meet with his teammates and opponents who were participating in the rookie game.
"Hey, Tony, Big Al."
Lin Yu first greeted his two Celtic teammates. Al Jefferson quickly started joking and said with a serious face: "Lin, we are opponents today. It is not a good time to talk and laugh now."
.”
Tony Allen didn't have so many twists and turns. He directly stretched out his fist, touched Lin Yu, and then said harshly: "Lin, today I will be the backup shooting guard of the second-year team. I will be with you."
Ben Gordon has agreed that he will only play in the first quarter, and the rest of the time is mine, and I will do my best to defend you."
"No, Tony, this is just an exhibition game."
"But this is also a rare opportunity. I can compete directly with you. We can't compete on offense, but we can compete on defense..."
Looking at the determined Tony Allen, Lin Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"The plan can't keep up with the changes..."
Originally, he thought that the rookie game was just an exhibition game. As long as he and Paul had a good discussion and got enough playing time and shot rights, he could produce good statistics and outstanding personal performance.
But now, Tony Allen told Lin Yu that he will do his best to defend Lin Yu, which broke Lin Yu's original plan.
If he were Kobe Bryant at his peak, he wouldn't have to worry about Tony Allen's defense. If he was Bosh at his peak, he wouldn't have to worry about Tony Allen's defense either.
But he is just an ordinary Lin Yu now. If calculated strictly based on ability value, he is only a quasi-star player at best.
It's too difficult to defeat Tony Allen's defense on your own...
After taking the makeup photos, Lin Yu hid aside. He entered the system and hesitated for a while while staring at the characteristics of "Lin Crazy".
Finally make up your mind and use features.
His idea is very simple. If he is still so African, then he can discuss with Paul and the others and only play the first quarter and not the last three quarters.
If you become a European, you don't need to say much, just do it and you're done.
As for his own attributes, if he really faces Tony Allen's defense, unless he has a great touch, he can't expect to have an outstanding personal performance.
He might be a little better than the Africans, but what's the use? Today he has to put up beautiful personal data to sell his sneakers.
Therefore, using the characteristics became his only choice, either life or death, there is no third way!
After clicking "Use Features", the screen changed and five names suddenly appeared on the carousel.
"Kevin Durant, Tyreke Evans, Mike Dunleavy, Jason Williams, Daniel Gibson."
Seeing these five names, Lin Yu was dumbfounded. If the system allowed him to draw the attributes of Durant or Tyreke Evans, he would have made money this time.
If you draw Dunleavy or White Chocolate, you won't lose this wave. The only person who may lose is Daniel Gibson.
"Why does the 'Linsanity' feature of the rookie game give players so good results?"
Think about it carefully, how bad can the players who can participate in the rookie game be?
"Fortunately, I gave it a try."
Lin Yu sighed with emotion and began to extract. The turntable rotated, and the names of people crossed one grid after another.
After more than ten seconds, the turntable slowly stopped, and the pointer finally pointed to Kevin Durant...
"What the hell..." Lin Yu couldn't help but curse. He had to say that when he needed Lin Kuangshen the most, Lin Kuangshen never let him down!
Excited, Lin Yu exited the features page and rushed to the properties page. Then, he was disappointed again.
"Not peak Durant?"
On the attributes page, the numbers in the first row are his current attributes, and the numbers in the back row are Durant's attribute bonuses.
As a result, he found that Durant's three-point attributes in the bonus list were not as high as his own, but mid-range shots, close shots, breakthroughs, including assist defense, and all physical attributes had been improved.
But overall, the Durant here is not the peak Durant.
Lin Yu was frightened for a while, but luckily he didn't get Dunleavy and White Chocolate. Even if it was Durant who was not at his peak, he definitely made a profit.
Tyreke Evans also makes money, because this is a rookie and peak player.
But Dunleavy and White Chocolate definitely suffered losses. In their rookie or sophomore seasons, these two were probably not as good as Lin Yu now.
Fortunately, he is still fine today.
The non-peak Durant, to be precise, he should be the second-year Durant. The bonus to Lin Yu is that it slightly weakens Lin Yu's single defense, passing control and three-pointers, but all other attributes are improved.
