I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.
Chapter 64 Setting New Records
In the second quarter, Andris Biedrins, who had recovered from injury, replaced Lin Bei on the court.
This former starting center of the Warriors was inferior to Lin Bei in every aspect as soon as he stepped onto the court.
Although he can also set screens, the quality of his screens is no worse than Lin Bei's, who has the [Talent: Wall].
However, he lacks a three-point shot and cannot stretch the opponent's defense after a pick-and-roll.
Under the basket, Biedrins' rim protection is not bad, but he lacks Lin Bei's agility and defensive awareness is far inferior to Lin Bei's [Talent: Defensive Awareness]. He is always a half-beat slower to react to the opponent's cuts and second-chance opportunities.
Although it was a battle of substitutes against substitutes, the Warriors didn't gain any advantage.
After playing half a quarter, the Warriors' key rotation player, Spud, left the court, his displeasure impossible to hide.
Although he didn't say anything, it seemed like Lin Bei heard everything.
Before Biedrins' return, Lin Bei would always team up with Little Potato for a while during rotation periods.
As a result, Little Potato had seen it all before. When he partnered with Lin Bei, if the two of them set a screen, the opponent would have to send one person to defend Lin Bei's three-pointer. Little Potato's subsequent breakthroughs were like entering an empty field, which can be described as "easy mode".
But if it were Biedrins, with the same pick-and-roll tactic, the opponent wouldn't need to split up; instead, they could concentrate two players to surround him, forcing him to exert all his strength for every breakthrough.
This is like Little Potato saying: That person is not as good as you, Best.
Lin Bei rolled his eyes inwardly and silently replied: Isn't that obvious?
Lin Bei returned to the court in the second half of the second quarter.
His opponent changed to Ian Mahinmi, a 2.11-meter-tall center from France.
On the first possession after returning, Lin Bei set a screen for Curry at the top of the arc.
Mahinmi's speed is much better than Haywood's. After delaying Curry, he can also catch up and help Lin Bei outside the three-point line.
Lin Bei's assessment was that this was a normal center-forward opponent.
Although his opponent was playing normally, Lin Bei's performance was as outstanding as ever.
In his first offensive attempt, he then slapped away Rodrigo Beaubois's layup attempt.
The Mavericks restarted the game with only 9 seconds left on the shot clock, and Terry took a long-range shot.
Clang!
Lin Bei leaped and grabbed his 9th rebound of the game.
Upon landing, he made another long pass to Curry, who was almost ready to attack early.
Curry sprinted to the frontcourt, trying to hit a three-pointer, but unable to shake off Kidd, he was forced to continue driving into the paint.
Ultimately, it was a fast break layup that resulted in a successful basket.
Lin Bei wasn't annoyed that he didn't get any assists.
He has now realized that it's too difficult to rack up assists when he initiates a fast break by passing the ball after grabbing a rebound.
If he could rack up assists with just a simple long pass to initiate a counter-attack, he would have been averaging a triple-double long game long ago.
"I need to practice my passing more and unlock the next two stages of [White Chocolate's Passing] as soon as possible."
In the next two phases, White Chocolate's passing becomes not only more stylish, but also more powerful.
So when Lin Bei received the pass from the white chocolate bar, he knew he had struck gold.
Another defensive surge, with Lin Bei continuing to guard Mahinmi under the basket.
Mahinmi didn't move, and neither did he.
Boubois made another breakthrough to the basket. This young French guard, who had not lived up to his potential in his previous life, had a fighting spirit that refused to give up.
Lin Bei rushed over and slapped him again.
But he slapped Boubois's hand, and the referee promptly blew his whistle, sending Boubois to the free-throw line.
Lin Bei shrugged and cosplayed as A-Zhan.
Although it was indeed a foul, that didn't stop him from complaining a bit.
Beaubois made both free throws, bringing the Mavericks back to within 2 points.
Subsequently, during the Warriors' half-court offense, Lin Bei set a screen for Curry.
But as soon as the pick and roll was broken, Lin Bei drove straight in.
Mahinmi was still blocking Curry when he saw Lin Bei rushing forward and realized he had to go after Lin Bei.
But Lin Bei was too fast, and he rushed to the basket in almost an instant.
Curry lobbed the ball high again to Lin Bei, a move he's already mastered.
Lin Bei stepped into the paint, leaped up, caught the basketball in mid-air, and slammed it down with a powerful dunk!
In fact, as Lin Bei and Curry's chemistry has improved, he's been dunking more and more often.
Although they are all simple alley-oop dunks, they can probably still give Lin Bei a boost in the negotiations for his shoe contract.
11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks – Lin Bei's mind automatically updated his game stats.
Then, he grabbed a defensive rebound on the defensive end.
Although Mahinmi is more agile than Haywood, he is weaker in terms of strength, and Lin Bei is faster at grabbing rebounds.
Before halftime, Lin Bei had already achieved a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
……
Soon, the first half ended, and Lin Bei scored two more easy baskets under the basket after setting screens.
The agile Mahinmi didn't give Lin Bei another chance for a three-pointer, but he really couldn't stop Lin Bei from getting easy baskets under the rim.
Rick Carlisle was also helpless. His two centers were like two poisons; if he chose either one, problems would arise.
At halftime, Lin Bei had 15 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks.
"Dalin is in such good form in this game. He had a near double-double in the first half alone. His stats in this game will be terrifying."
CCTV reporter Yu Jia was initially excited, but then sighed: "It's a pity that Yi Jianlian didn't get to play in the first half."
In the first half, the Mavericks used Lamar Odom as a substitute to replace Dirk Nowitzki.
Speaking of Odom, there's an interesting little anecdote: when he appeared, he glared at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei wasn't particularly confused; he just wanted to curse Odom: "Your wife is dishonest, and you're blaming me for it!"
The most crucial point is that he simply looked down on Kohler's heavy tank.
Lin Bei felt insulted by Odom's disgusted look.
……
In the third quarter, Lin Bei continued to start, and his opponent changed to Haywood.
The Warriors led by 11 points at halftime.
At the start of the second half, Lin Bei grabbed his 14th rebound of the game, launched a long pass to initiate a fast break, and assisted Curry to hit a three-pointer.
Then, when Haywood went out to set a screen, he switched to defend Carter, made a steal, and initiated another fast break.
He charged to the frontcourt, caught Curry's high lob, and slammed it home with another alley-oop dunk.
Lin Bei scored his 17th point of the game, and the Warriors quickly extended their lead to 16 points.
Next, the veteran driver stepped up and scored consecutive points, and the score remained close for a while.
During this period, Lin Bei didn't get any rebounds, but his scoring kept increasing.
He repeatedly used pick-and-rolls with Curry, and after the screens were broken, he would drive inside.
He drives to the basket, receives a pass from Curry, and finishes off easy baskets.
Lin Bei's score rose rapidly, while the score between the two teams went back and forth...
Until the veteran driver suddenly lost his touch, missing a series of shots, the score gap widened completely.
With the Warriors building a 20-point lead, CCTV commentator Yu Jia realized, "Yi Jianlian has a chance to play!"
However, the Mavericks substituted their starters with substitutes like Yi Jianlian.
On the Warriors' side, Lin Bei was also substituted out.
Lin Bei's Chinese derby against the UAE ultimately failed to materialize.
With one period of free time remaining, Lin Bei participated in a reading competition.
此战,他最终出战两节半比赛,得到23分16个篮板3个助攻1个抢断2个盖帽。
His score reached a new high, following his 22 points in the previous game.
"It's a pity the Mavericks couldn't hold on, otherwise these numbers could have been even higher..."
