Chapter 146 What is a superstar?

In the last 1 minute and 23 seconds of the game, the Celtics maintained a 3-point advantage.

Totally kills the game!
When Jim O'Brien saw this scene, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but then he was overwhelmed by sorrow.

Lin Yu's superstar playing style can easily lead to one thing, which is getting too carried away with the game.

At the last minute of the game, Lin Yu made the wisest choice and assisted his teammates to win the game.

It can be said that Lin Yu’s basketball IQ is extremely outstanding!
The Celtics continued to double-team Iverson without thinking.

"No one from the 76ers can stand up and help AI at this moment!"

"This scene reminds me of the time when AI once faced the OK combination alone!"

"AI chose to pass the ball, and after Kyle Korver received the ball, this time it was Paul Pierce who switched defense."

"Korver forced a shot! He missed! Lin Yu grabbed the rebound."

"Lin Yu started a quick attack alone! He is so fast! It's like a flash of lightning!"

As Kerr was amazed, Lin Yu completed the fast break by himself with the ball.

Bang! As the dunk sounded, many fans at the scene had painful looks in their eyes!
Some 76ers fans started to leave the stadium directly.

With 52 seconds left in the game, the Celtics led by 5 points.

This score difference is enough to completely kill the game!

on the field.

When Iverson saw this scene, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Even Jordan needs Pippen!
Shark has Wade, Lin has Pierce, and Duncan has Ginobili and Parker.

Where is his Pippen?
With Iverson's final three-pointer missing, the game completely lost its suspense.

hum!
As the timer sounded, the Celtics defeated the 96ers 91:76.

林禹全场23投11中，三分球7中3，罚球7中6，砍下31分10篮板5助攻2盖帽。

艾弗森全场25投12中，三分球10中4，罚球9中7，砍下39分8助攻3篮板。

Although Iverson played well, his teammates did hold him back, causing him to join the group of empty-cut players.

After the game, Iverson also found Lin Yu.

Iverson first hugged Lin Yu and then spoke.

"Lin, I really lost to you this time. You played very well. Keep up the aggressiveness."

"But don't be too happy too soon, after all, this is just the regular season."

If it weren't an Olympic matter, Iverson wouldn't care about winning or losing a regular season game.

After all, even the basketball god, Steve Jobs, lost 10 games in his best regular season.

Iverson doesn't care about one or two regular season games.

"Alan, I'm waiting for your revenge."

Lin Yu also knew that the Celtics' winning streak could not continue forever.

"You played very well today, Lin. I have a piece of advice for you, that is, don't pay too much attention to what the outside world says. After all, the media is a group of people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak."

Hearing what Iverson said, Lin Yu nodded. He understood what Iverson meant.

The way he played today, it was good enough that he won.

After losing the game, there is no need to look for the blame, it comes naturally.

'Playing alone', 'Lin Yu doesn't know how to pass the ball', 'Lin Yu is a cancer'...

After finishing the conversation with Iverson, Lin Yu and his teammates began to celebrate the victory.

After defeating the 76ers, the Celtics won their ninth consecutive game and ended their six-game road trip in the Eastern Conference.

They can finally return to Boston.

at the post-match press conference.

Jim O'Brien was in attendance along with Allen Iverson.

"Coach O'Brien, what do you think was the biggest reason for the 76ers' loss today?"

"Of course it's because of Lin Yu!"

Jim O'Brien answered without hesitation.

"Before the game started, we made a lot of arrangements for Lin Yu."

"In the first half, our arrangement worked well, but in the second half, Lin Yu started his own singles mode."

"I admit that everything I did was in vain. He is simply unstoppable!"

"Honestly, I've never seen a player like this."

"He is nearly 2 meters tall, but he has skills comparable to a guard, excellent passing vision, and terrifying scoring explosiveness." "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe!"

As he spoke, Jim O'Brien's eyes were filled with shock.

When he recalls it now, he still feels incredible.

The carefully prepared tactics turned out to be of no use.

The female reporter who asked the question looked at Jim O'Brien in disbelief.

The other reporters also had shocked expressions on their faces.

This shit...

It’s not like they haven’t heard similar things before, but they were mostly said by the media.

Current situation……

Was the 76ers head coach convinced by Lin Yu?
The reporter then asked Iverson who was standing next to him.

"AI, what do you think of Lin Yu?"

"Lin is very strong, whether it's offense or defense, he is so versatile!"

"I think Lin is as good as any player in the league. He is a superstar!"

After hearing Iverson's answer, the reporters below were completely shocked.

Many reporters' eyes were filled with horror.

They only have one idea now.

Are the 76ers' head coach and star player crazy or are they all convinced by Lin Yu?

The next day, Iverson and Jim O'Brien's words also successfully made the headlines of major sports sections of Meilijia.com.

ESPN: Nine consecutive wins! Iverson praised Lin Yu as a superstar!
Sports Illustrated: 76 head coach praised! Lin Yu led the team to nine consecutive wins!
Los Angeles Times: Leading the team to nine consecutive wins! Is Lin Yu really a superstar?

……

There is a lot of controversy among fans and the media as to whether Lin Yu is a superstar.

The first to start the debate were naturally the fans online.

"Lin Yu is definitely a superstar! He is impeccable both offensively and defensively.

"Is the person above kidding? He hasn't even played in the playoffs and he's calling them superstars. Aren't there enough superstars in the regular season?"

"There are too many fake players like O'Neal. Who knows if Lin Yu can adapt to the fierce competition in the playoffs?"

"The Olympics aren't intense? Lin Yu can play in the Olympics but not in the playoffs?"

"Lin Yu is a superstar-level player! How many players in the entire league are better than Lin Yu on both offense and defense?"

"..."

The debate on the Internet about whether Lin Yu is a superstar is getting more and more intense.

ESPN directly organized a program and invited retired veterans such as "General of the Army" David Robinson, Pierce and Kerr to discuss whether Lin Yu is a superstar.

Cole was the first to express his views.

"From his performance so far this season, Lin Yu has undoubtedly played like a superstar."

“场均28.5分10.2篮板4.8助攻2.8盖帽1.8抢断的全能数据，足以说明林禹的出色表现。”

"His dominance on both offense and defense reminds me of Michael. He deserves to be called 'Jordan who is 10 centimeters taller'!"

Ever since Lin Yu founded the sneaker brand, Pi Erye has become Lin Yu's black fan.

When he heard what Cole said, he immediately came out to refute it.

"Steve, you also said that based on Lin Yu's current performance, he hasn't even played 10 games this season."

"As for the '10 cm taller Jordan', it's really nonsense. There is only one Michael in the history of the NBA!"

"Superstars are not that cheap! Lin Yu is not a superstar at all!"

David Robinson, the general of the army, said: "When we discuss whether Lin Yu is a superstar, we must first clarify what a superstar is."

"Explosive scoring ability? Offense and defense? Team performance? Or just winning the regular season MVP or being selected to the first team?"

"Or can you change the game and the team's status by yourself, and become the core of a team that can win the championship?"

The Admiral's words caused the two men to frown slightly.

The standards for becoming a superstar can be varied.

It's like there are a hundred Hamlets in a hundred eyes.

Because the conditions are different, there is naturally a debate about who is a superstar and who is not.
