Chapter 202: The Winning Streak Ends
Barkley's words also received support from many fans.
"This is the first time I agree with Barkley's words so much. Lin Yu's performance is simply historic!"
"This is talent! No matter who Lin Yu plays against, he is always out of position. It would be strange if he is not efficient."
"I've noticed that Lin Yu's average playing time is over 40 minutes per game?"
"I noticed that, too. I strongly suspect that Rivers didn't have any tactics at all, just giving the ball to Lin Yu."
"..."
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern looked at the outside world's discussions about MVP and began to have a headache.
As long as there are no surprises in the future, Lin Yu will most likely become the scoring champion + regular season MVP + best defensive player.
but……
Stern has a characteristic when he praises people.
I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket.
What Stern wants to see is an NBA where a hundred flowers bloom.
Therefore, he will praise Kobe and James, and will also give Duncan the regular season MVP...
He really couldn't get involved in the scoring title.
After all, this thing depends entirely on the players themselves.
Lin Yu's performance is indeed worthy of a regular season MVP.
But if DPOY is also given to Lin Yu...
Are there any big prizes left in the NBA?
Therefore, even Stern, who wanted to support Lin Yu, began to hesitate at this time.
Lin Yu didn't feel anything at this time, after defeating the Timberwolves.
Lin Yu and others started their campaign again. They flew directly to New Jersey the next day to challenge the Nets away.
With Kidd's return, the Nets also began to move towards the playoffs.
Before the game started, the "half-man, half-god" Carter specially found Lin Yu to express his gratitude to Lin Yu.
"Bruce is just a piece of trash. Lin Yu, you guys did a great job! Next time, I will beat Bruce up too!"
After expressing his gratitude, Carter began to take action.
Facing Battier's defense, Carter went all out.
全场18投11中,三分球6中3,罚球7中6,砍下31分4助攻6篮板。
And this time, Pierce pulled it.
Back-to-back games seriously exhausted Pierce's physical strength, and he only made 17 of 3 shots.
This hit rate left Rivers speechless.
This guy is too tough!
If it weren't for Pierce's failure, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Okur also had a bad day today.
He shot 4 out of 0 from three-point range.
This……
In the end, the Celtics lost to the Nets 92:96.
After the game, Lin Yu was speechless as he looked at Carter and others who were celebrating.
Good guy!
Before the game started, he thanked himself and then beat the Celtics.
This is crazy...
After resting for a day in New Jersey, Lin Yu and others flew to Detroit.
Lin Yu and Detroit have always been at odds.
The two sides had had conflicts on the field before.
From the first minute of the game, the two sides played very fiercely.
However, in order to avoid secondary conflicts, the refereeing today was particularly strict.
As long as both sides make a big move, they will be sent directly to the free throw line.
Although this gave the fans a bad impression, it also effectively avoided the escalation of conflicts.
Thanks to the standard of the penalty, Lin Yu had a great time.
James made a tank-like breakthrough and made the Pistons lose their temper.
Prince, Hamilton, and even Rasheed Wallace were unable to withstand Lin Yu's tank breakthrough.
Otherwise, in the original history, the Cavaliers would not have made it to the finals in 07.
Ben's height is indeed a problem.
Lin Yu turned into an offensive kaleidoscope, with dreamy dance steps, quick stop jump shots, and low-post back-to-the-basket shots that Tai Ben had no temper for.
Coupled with the strict standards of the penalty, after Lin Yu broke through, he either scored or went to the free throw line.
Larry Brown on the sidelines was almost furious and complained to the referee again and again.
"Why!? Is the NBA for women? Why is this a foul?"
"This call is unreasonable! How could Lin Yu go to the free throw line?"
"That shouldn't be the call! My player didn't commit a foul!"
"..."
Today's referee is also a famous referee in the league, Joseph Joey Crawford.
He was the bald guy who made Duncan smile and get a technical foul.
CRAWFORD: You're teaching me how to do things?
How could a referee like this indulge Larry Brown?
Besides, Stern has already explained today's penalty.
If the Palace of Auburn Hills incident happened again, he could go home and be unemployed.
Therefore, annoyed by Larry Brown's nagging, he directly let Larry Brown end the game early.
After the head coach left the court, the Pistons had a harder time.
After the handcheck rule was cancelled, it was a weakening for the Pistons' big five.
He also encountered Lin Yu, who could perform the same tank breakthrough as James, and the refereeing standards were strict.
When they meet in the regular season, the Pistons are destined to have no way to deal with Lin Yu!
最终,林禹全场18投14中,三分球2中1,罚球9中8,砍下37分12篮板10助攻3盖帽的三双数据。
The Celtics defeated the Pistons 95:87.
After finishing the game with the Pistons, the Celtics played four games before and after returning to their home court, achieving a record of three wins and one loss.
Then began a five-game road trip in the Western Conference.
The Celtics came to Denver first.
This is not the first time that Lin Yu has fought against social media.
The last time the Celtics defeated the Nuggets easily, this time the social melon also had the idea of revenge.
The social situation is currently very embarrassing.
This time the All-Star Game was held in Denver, but he, the star player of the Denver Nuggets, was not selected for the All-Star Game.
This is crazy...
The words "embarrassing" and "helpless" are not enough to describe this social mess.
Therefore, social melons also want to prove themselves very much.
then……
The social melon has been pulled again.
The Celtics' Death Five are the most restraining forward players in the league.
The front line defense consists of Pierce, Battier, Lin Yu, Kurt Thomas and others.
This caused Shehuigua, the sophomore offensive kaleidoscope, to fall into a constant state of missed shots.
全场18中6,三分球2中0,罚球7中5,砍下17分7篮板2助攻。
However, his shooting percentage is only 33.3%, which can be said to be as iron as it can be.
After easily defeating the Nuggets 101:87, the Celtics flew to Sacramento again.
Although the Kings have not made the playoffs for more than ten years, they still have some glory left.
Although Webber has been plagued by injuries, he still averaged 21.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game this season.
Plus Peja, 'Big White Bear' Brad Miller, 'White Devil' Bibby, 'Old Cat' Mobley and other players.
This Kings team is definitely a strong team in the league!
The confrontation between the two sides was also very fierce.
Although the Celtics' defense is strong, it is not unsolvable after all.
Although Lin Yu was able to defend Webber after his serious injury, the Kings also had more points to attack.
Peja, 'White Devil' Bibby, 'Old Cat' Mobley and others also touched the switch of the gods descending to earth today.
Especially Peja, the sharpshooter who won the three-point contest twice.
全场17投10中,三分球7中5,罚球5中5,砍下30分5篮板2助攻。
Pierce's defense seemed to be non-existent to Peja.
Although Battier limited Bibby to only 11 points, Bibby still made 8 assists.
Coupled with 18 points from 'Old Cat' Mobley, the Celtics eventually lost to the Kings 97:100.
Lin Yu also discovered that as the season progressed, coupled with the intensive schedule, physical fitness problems were prone to occur.
As the league gets to know the Celtics more deeply, more and more teams will make targeted arrangements against the Celtics.
The Celtics' record also gradually began to fluctuate, and they no longer had the ten-game winning streak they had at the beginning of the season.
