The Celtics 'next few games were at home, and they had a 2 - 2 record.
He continued to be ranked seventh in the east.
In these few matches, Walker played even more happily! He could feel that Auerbach had obviously reduced the playing time of Lin Long and the others, and his average time per game had reached more than 40 minutes in these four games. Walker, who was in a good mood and full of confidence, also gave a good answer.
He had an average of 29 points, 7 rebounded, and 3 assists in the four games. His field goal percentage had reached 50%, 47%, and 90%. He looked like the little tyrant of the Eastern Conference.
Lin Long's playing time in these four games was reduced to only 28 minutes, and his statistics dropped to 21 points, 11 rebounded, 4 assists, and 2 blocked shots.
However, Lin Long was not in a hurry. Firstly, he still maintained his suppression of Duncan on the rookie list. Secondly, in the All-Star voting, Lin Long had already surpassed Scott Pippen and Dennis Rodman to come in third place among the Eastern Conference forwards, only behind Grant Hill and Shawn Kemp.
Especially between Hershawn Kemp, the difference was only less than 100,000 votes!
From this, it could be seen how important it was to play a live broadcast game in the United States in the 1990s and get the approval and publicity of the commentator!
After four matches, Linlong's interface changed again, and a new mission appeared.

—————
Becoming the All-Star starter.
The appearance of this new mission made Linlong look forward to the starting position in the east even more.
There was still more than a month before the All-Star voting ended. Lin Long still had a lot of time.
Especially when Lin Long carefully studied the Celtics 'schedule, he found two important games.
Half a month later, in the last game before Christmas, the Celtics would be playing an away game against the Boston Cavaliers!
The current Cavaliers had a similar record as the Celtics. Not only were they their main opponents in the playoffs, but they also had the famous Shawn Kemp!
It was Lin Long's first opponent for the All-Star starting lineup.
As long as he could gain an advantage in the matchup with him, he would definitely be able to pull in a lot of votes.
Then, it was early January.
In the last week before the All-Star voting deadline, the Celtics would face their oldest rival in the league's history.
Challenging the Los Angeles Clippers!
Lin Long knew very well that this year's Los Angeles had four All-Stars!
At the same time, there was also O'Neal, the number one behemoth in the league.
This was also one of the few live broadcast games for the Celtics in the United States. This game would also be Lin Long's best chance to win votes!
On the other side, Lin Long was thinking about the All-Star lineup.
Antoine Walker, who was next door, was still thinking about his future. He even gave Auerbach the list of partners he wanted. He hoped that he could get Ji De and the others to assist him.
Auerbach, of course, didn't even look at it. He just threw the note Walker handed him into the trash can.
He already had a rough idea of how to sign players and a good trading blueprint. This was what he was best at.
In the past week, Auerbach had made a lot of phone calls and asked a lot of teams, stirring up quite a storm in the league.
Now half of the league knew that Auerbach was dissatisfied with the Celtics 'current lineup and was ready to make a big move.
However, the most important deal required Auerbach to personally call the player out of respect and to make the player happy.
"Hey, Charles, do you know who I am?”
Auerbach thought for a moment and made the call.
"Who is it? I haven't paid off my bill at the strip club?”On the other end of the phone, a voice that was obviously still asleep came through.
A low, muffled voice and a cynical tone.
Many veteran fans could guess who this person was as long as they heard a word.
Charles Barkley!
This season's Charles Barkley was already 35 years old. He was no longer the super power forward and MVP who could call the shots in Philadelphia and Phoenix.
He could only average 15 points and 11 rebounded per game. These two statistics were the lowest since his rookie season.
Of course, more importantly…he wasn't happy in Houston.
In the last 10 games, he became the scapegoat for the team's poor record and was dumped on the bench by Tomjanovic.
However, the old Rockets 'record still didn't improve.
Barkley himself was even getting by and did not care.
His self-confidence had suffered a serious blow.
Champion?
Perhaps there was no hope in this lifetime.
"Shut up, Charles. Can't you talk to me properly?”
Auerbach shouted back, half laughing and half cursing.
His signature voice and confident and gloomy tone reminded Barkley of who he was.
"Mr. Auerbach?"
