Chapter 152 A million-dollar bet!

"Ladies and gentlemen! I just got some news!"

"Lin Yu made a bet with Shaq! If Lin Yu can dunk over Shaq in this game, Shaq will lose 100 million US dollars to Lin Yu."

"If Shaq hadn't been dunked on by Lin Yu, Lin Yu would have lost one million US dollars to Shaq!"

After hearing the news, the fans in front of the TV immediately started talking about it.

"Dunking a shark!? Is this possible?"

"I almost forgot the last time Shaq got dunked on."

"If I remember correctly, Shaq was dunked on by two people, right?"

"Since Michael Jordan, only Coleman has dunked over Shaq."

Barkley, who was commentating on the scene, asked Magic Johnson, "Ervin, do you think Shaq will be dunked by Lin Yu?"

"Charles, are you kidding me? That's Shaq! The most dominant center in NBA history!"

"Historical players like Tim Duncan, KG, and Olajuwon were unable to dunk over Shaq, and now Shaq knows that Lin Yu is going to dunk over him."

"In this situation, there is no way Shaq could be dunked on!"

The magician didn't believe that Lin Yu could dunk over the Shark at all.

If it's a surprise attack, Lin Yu might still have a chance.

But since both sides made a bet, Shaq was already prepared.

As soon as Lin Yu jumped, the Sharks would commit a foul.

If Lin Yu is knocked down by a hug or an elbow, how can he dunk then?

At the beginning of the second quarter.

Rivers also replaced Okur with Perkins.

As a defensive center, Perkins is most suitable to deal with the Sharks.

Da Ji was also replaced by Rivers, but his role was to play the power forward position and help Lin Yu open up offensive space.

West was also replaced by Coach Lu.

Lin Yu swung to the third position.

The Heat also started to make substitutions.

Haslem was replaced by Christian Laettner.

As a player selected for the former Dream Team, Laettner once won the Olympic gold medal with the Dream Team as a water dispenser manager.

Laettner, who was already at the end of his career, was shining as a substitute for the Heat.

After Coach Lu dribbled across half court, he passed the ball directly to Lin Yu.

Lightner, who is already 35 years old, naturally cannot keep up with Lin Yu.

Therefore, the task of defending Lin Yu can only be given to "Pippen's successor" Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones, once known as Pippen's successor, was selected to the All-Defensive Team many times in his career.

His energy on the defensive end is also very terrifying, but he is also old, he is 33 years old this year.

At this time, he relied more on experience in defense.

While Eddie Jones was defending Lin Yu, he held Lin Yu's jersey tightly with one hand, leaving Lin Yu no chance to get rid of him.

"Eddie, you don't think you can stop me like this!"

"I certainly don't think that this kind of defense can stop a man who led his team to defeat the Dream Team, but my goal is only to limit you."

If it were his peak period, Eddie Jones might still try to defend Lin Yu alone, but now that he is past his peak, his goal is to limit Lin Yu.

It just made Lin Yu feel uncomfortable.

Hearing what Eddie Jones said, Lin Yu smiled.

"Eddie, if you can keep up with me, then try to keep up with me!"

The next moment, Lin Yu started accelerating and Eddie Jones was caught off guard and was thrown off by Lin Yu.

When Eddie Jones was trying to defend, he saw Lin Yu suddenly stop and shoot directly from mid-range.

Swish!
The basketball went into the net, and Lin Yu's trash talk sounded at the same time. "Eddie, I have a suggestion for you, just double-team me!"

"I don't care if you are Pippen's successor or not, you can't limit me now."

Before Eddie Jones could say anything, the shark next to him took the lead in retorting to Lin Yu.

"Rookie, who do you think you are? Do you really think you are a superstar?"

"Shaq, shouldn't this be referring to yourself?"

"How does it feel to be kicked out by the Lakers? Yeah, you've already been kicked out by Orlando once, so you're probably used to it."

Lin Yu knew that what he said was exposing Shark's scars.

but……

Do I have to follow Shaq when it comes to trash talking?

"Rookie, if you wanted to irritate me, then let me tell you, you did it."

"But, believe me, it won't be long before you regret angering me!"

There was suppressed anger in Shark's voice.

Everyone who heard the shark's words knew that the shark was really angry!

"That's hilarious, Shaq, you don't really think getting angry is useful?"

"If you're angry, it will work. Would the Pistons still be the champions last year?"

"Don't think too highly of yourself, Shaq. You're just an old guy kicked out by the Lakers!"

Lin Yu just found Shark's angry remarks funny.

Can being angry double a player's strength?
Do you really think that everyone has Saiyan blood?
Can you transform when you get angry?

Shark didn't finish his words, but stared at Lin Yu with his fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged.

When Perkins saw this scene, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

It’s better to say less!

I am the player directly facing the Shark!

When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Perkins became even more frightened when he saw the Shark reach out for the ball.

There was also a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at the shark.

When Wade saw the shark asking for the ball, he passed the ball without thinking too much.

Although Wade's assists have been high throughout his career, his passing level is not very high.

This can also be seen from the assist-to-turnover ratio. Throughout his career, he averaged 5.4 assists per game but 3.2 turnovers per game.

You know, Westbrook averages 10.4 assists and 4.3 turnovers per game, which many people suspect is just stat padding.

It can also be seen from the data that Wade's passing is just at the league average.

The Shark took the initiative to reach out for the ball, and Wade's passing route was easy to judge.

Lin Yu has been waiting for a long time!

Snapped!
When Wade passed the ball, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and stole the ball directly.

"Accurate prediction! Lin Yu directly intercepted Dwyane Wade's pass!"

"Lin Yu starts a fast break! Shark and Laettner can't keep up with Lin Yu's speed at all!"

"Another slam dunk! The entire North Shore Garden fans are cheering for Lin Yu!"

"Lin Yu was too strong today. He dominated the game both offensively and defensively!"

Barkley kept yelling excitedly.

Before the game started, most fans didn't think the Celtics could win against the Heat, who had Shaq and Wade.

But now, under the leadership of Lin Yu, the score difference reached 7 points at the beginning of the second quarter!
In this era where a game easily scores 80-90 points, 7 points is about the same, but it is definitely not a small amount.

On the sidelines, Heat head coach Jeff Van Gundy stared at Lin Yu on the court with a frown.

Although he knew that Lin Yu was very strong, he estimated that it might take some effort to deal with the Celtics.

But only after they actually fought did he feel how strong Lin Yu was!
