Center first

Chapter 193
No one knows the content of the call Pat Riley received, but Miss Tracy, as the secretary of the fortune teller, saw this wise general manager frown for the first time. Pat Riley has already I don't know how many times I kept tapping with a pen on my desk.

It's already February 2th, and there are less than 19 days before the transfer door is about to close. Pat Riley doesn't know whether he should finalize the deal, because the guy's fiery temper and his sabotage attitude are not the same. Knowing whether it will bring the Heat the help it deserves.

The most important point is that guy has been away from the NBA for almost half a year. Whether he can play back to the state he was in the NBA is the most important thing. In addition, will his agent open his mouth again? A bite for Miami?Pat Riley was slow to make a decision.

While hesitating, this wise fortune teller decided to wait and see. Maybe there would be good news about the injuries of those old bones. After all, the guy on the phone was really too unreliable.Maybe Lin Yi will use his own hands to lead the Heat through this period of time. Pat Riley now wants to wait and say, maybe there are better options.

Unfortunately, things are not as good as Pat Riley thought. Lin Yi, who just finished the All-Star Weekend, will lead the team's substitutes to the wolf den in Minnesota when he returns to the Heat. See Looking at their incomplete lineup, even Spoelstra had to scratch his head. His carefully built Princeton system can be said to be almost useless because of the lack of personnel.

Now he can only rely on Lin Yi's own personal ability to suppress the opponent's inside line, and he can't even guarantee Lin Yi a qualified substitute, but Lin Yi, this little guy, didn't think about it because his team's personnel were not organized. As for complaining, he just understood that he needed to do more.

It's a pity that Spoelstra, a short Filipino, can't play for these big guys. He can only sit helplessly on the sidelines and watch the Timberwolves use wolf pack tactics to encircle Lin Yi. The space under the basket is almost compressed. It is very difficult to move a centimeter, not to mention the dream dance, Lin Yi even has to deal with the continuous harassment of several hands at the same time when holding the ball.

No way, who makes you unable to find even a stable scorer in your lineup, who knows that such a Miami team has only one Lin Yi to rely on, and even their marking of Bell has been relaxed, those muscular men inside put all All the attention was on Lin Yi.

Hands up and down, wrestling, hugging and pinching, almost all the tricks that can be used in free combat have been used by these guys. Their purpose is only one, that is to make Lin Yi lose the space to shoot, and don't let him get any closer to the basket. Chances, as for those shooters on the perimeter?I bet, I can only bet that those guys' ejaculation skills are not good.

Cook and Quinn are also really cooperative. These two three-pointers have always played a relatively stable shooting point. In the Target Center in Minnesota, they really did not miss a shot. Most of their shots were accurate. He hit the basket, and the basketball bounced high on the basket so that Spoelstra could only blindfold him helplessly.

The shooting rate is appalling. For the first time, the Heat's peripherals can't even guarantee a 35% shooting rate. Under such circumstances, can you still hope that the team can take away the victory?The puny Timberwolves almost ripped a piece of flesh from Miami's body with the craziest bite.

Even if Lin Yi scored 37 points and 15 rebounds from the opponent's basket by himself, he still failed to reverse the defeat. Two Timberwolves players who played against him left the game because of six fouls, and three players left the field because of Lin Yi. Fouled 4 times, but worth it, because they won, and they took a win from the brightest star in this All-Star game.

No one, this is where Spoelstra is most helpless. No one on their bench can stand up when Lin Yi needs support the most. Raja Bell played for almost 40 minutes. The firepower he can provide The support is only 18 points. This may be another double-digit scorer that the Heat can find in this game.

A clever woman can’t cook without rice. This is the current situation of the Miami Heat. You can’t ask Spoelstra to conjure you a guy who can stably average more than ten points per game. Lin Yi can only accept the reality of failure , although he has worked hard to bring the team to the winning track.

But if you look at their long list of injured players, you will know that this is almost a dream. Even if God is allowed to lead the team now, he will still frown. Only three of them are complete, what more can you ask of these guys.

This is just the beginning. When the Miami Heat visited the Wachovia Center Stadium in Philadelphia on February 2, they were greeted with a more ferocious siege, especially Dalembert's desperate defense. He will consider the number of fouls he has committed, and his hands have almost never left Lin Yi's body.

The head coach of the 76ers, Tony DiLeo, has obviously learned from the experience of the Timberwolves. Since Miami's offensive points are terribly scarce, then use the strictest defense to lock up the yellow-skinned kid inside. Just cut him off At this point, a toothless tiger like Miami can't be killed at any time.

A group of people headed by "Captain" Brand began to siege Lin Yi. The defense of these guys was much tougher than that of the Timberwolves. Lin Yi fell into a state of hand-to-hand combat with frequent physical contact from the first second. Lin Yi's upper limbs, thick back, and everything surrounding Lin Yi.

25 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. After 40 minutes of hard work, Lin Yi dragged his exhausted body and was pressed by Spoelstra on the bench. The score on the field has been stretched to 98:78. The Miami Heat broke down twice in a row, Lin Yi's eyes were full of self-blame, if Spoelstra hadn't held him down firmly, maybe this kid wanted to come back to the court to fight again.

Spoelstra knew he couldn't afford it now. If Lin was injured again and again, it would be the most fatal for the Miami Heat. The current game is completely dependent on this little guy to support himself, even if Marion takes light Injuries back to the starting lineup can't save anything.

Childish and inexperienced, this is a real irony for the Miami Heat with a bunch of old bones. They have a long list of old guys on the disabled list, but almost all of their players who can play are rookies, and now they are starting A few guys, most of them haven't jumped out of their rookie contracts, even Lin Yi is the same.

Whether they like it or not, Miami has already lost two games in a row, and the harsh criticism from the outside world has gradually begun to spread. Those media reporters who were still touting Lin Yi not long ago are now using a magnifying glass to observe this new star. Now, some people have even begun to say that this is just a shooting star.

No one cares what statistics you get. You are the leader and the core. When the team you lead loses, you are the scapegoat.Lin Yi could only be more strict with himself during training, he didn't want others to criticize his team.

He's going to use his victory to prove those shitty comments wrong, and he's going to use his actions to silence those critics. Spoelstra started to worry when he saw Lin's longer-than-usual practice time, He didn't want to put too much burden on the young guy.

"Lin Yi, the last two losses have nothing to do with you. You have tried your best. We can all see that it is caused by too many injuries in the team. Maybe you will recover after this period of time. Well, I don't want you to be exhausted when they return to the team, and now your training seems to be a bit too much." Spoelstra deliberately found a time when no one was around and said to Lin Yi, He wanted the little guy to understand that what happened was none of his business.

"If I can perform better, then I can help them more, can't I?" Lin Yi knew what the head coach was going to say, but he did not intend to give up his training plan, he must become stronger , if not, then he cannot lead the Miami Heat out of the woods.

When you ask others to help you, the first thing to do is to become stronger yourself. This is what Lin Yi means. He can’t pin all his hopes on others, he will become stronger himself , which is a good thing for everyone.

"Boss, I will take care to ensure that I am not injured. Don't worry, I will be checked by the doctor every day. If I feel uncomfortable, I will take the initiative to stop, trust me." Lin Yi's words made Spoers Tera can only swallow the words in his stomach. Can you ask such a player to do something else?I don't think so.

"Okay then, I think it's meaningless for me to insist on saying it now. I just hope your body is fine, pay attention to rest, and I'll go first." Spoelstra said to the little guy in front of him now. He has nothing to persuade, he just wants to make his tactics more perfect, or let those substitute players perform better.

The only way Spoelstra can do now is to give Lin Yi more help on the basis of the existing players. He can do nothing else. Without players, everything is empty talk. Now he can only wait for the wise man His manager has brought him good news, but there are still six days left, and the fortune teller hasn't done anything yet.

Now Spoelstra is not sure whether his requirements for supplementing the lineup can be met. God bless, I hope that little guy can get a good external help at such a difficult moment.But Spoelstra didn't know that Pat Riley was in doubt now.

Signed or not owed, Pat Riley is measuring the possible gains and losses that the team may face. He doesn't know what effect it will play to bring that guy to the team once the pen is written. Maybe he will reproduce The toughness of his bench bandits, maybe Miami will turn him upside down.

During the difficult night, Pat Riley stared at the burning cigar, and the pen next to the folder on the table had not been moved, and he was making the final consideration.

(Okay, you can beat me, I still haven’t told you who is going to sign, what do you guess? Hahaha, it’s the end of the month, please hurry up if you have tickets that haven’t been thrown away, it will be invalid after the expiration date... The answer to the mystery will be revealed tomorrow, actually Those who often watch the NBA should probably guess it, but it’s actually quite simple, HOHO)
