My basketball vision is different

Lin Shaojie, who is busy with trial training overseas, has no time to know everything that is happening in China.

It was only an hour's flight from Memphis to San Antonio. In this short period of time, Lin Shaojie experienced what high pressure was when he was with Lawrence and Xie Zhenghe!

No wonder that before the draft every year, not only the players, but their agents also feel great pressure.

The three rounds of interviews were somewhat perfunctory in Phoenix, but both the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies were like interrogations, and the intensity from the interviews to the actual workouts was very high. During the game, they were almost ruthless.

No one cares if you haven't played professionally, they have to choose the best players.

I heard that those No. 1 picks would never "deliver goods to your doorstep" like Lin Shaojie. Every team begged them to go to every trial training, so how could they be as humble as Lin Shaojie.

Lawrence and Xie Zhenghe were also highly nervous. They kept reading the news, collecting, analyzing and sorting it out.

You need to communicate before the trial training, and you need to keep in touch after the trial training. In short, no matter what the wire is, it must be hung on your hand. Picking it up and taking a look from time to time is also embarrassing for them.

After getting off the plane, the weather in San Antonio made Lin Shaojie feel comfortable. On the way to the trial training base, Xie Zhenghe was still joking.

"The Spurs are the Damo Academy. In the entire NBA, this is one of the few team basketballs. If you want to integrate into the NBA as soon as possible, this team is definitely the best choice.

You can see from the players they have come in and out over the years that most of the stars who have joined the Spurs are very supportive of the Spurs even after they leave and rarely say anything negative."

Xie Zhenghe also said that "the young people in the Spurs become confident, and the old people have a second youth," indicating that this is the magic of the Spurs.

But Lin Shaojie was a little confused.

"In our country, there are people who like them, and there are also people who don't like them. They call them 'dog-spurred' black feet. They are famous in the league, but there are still people who criticize them!"

Xie Zhenghe shook his head.

"This is the perception of outsiders, which is based on smoke and mirrors, just like the audience talking about Tyson's boxing and saying that he hits cleanly and has no last-ditch blows.

We have to admit that his so-called gentlemanly demeanor in the boxing world is only a relative term, but it cannot be said about playing cleanly. Tyson will also pinch the opponent's arm during boxing and even hit him last time. We recognize his achievements in the boxing world.

, but we must reject fandom-style thinking and sanctify idols.”

Of course, Xie Zhenghe also added later.

"You have to look at whether the Spurs are good or not. Regarding Blackfoot, you should ask Jordan how the Bad Boys dealt with him back then. Some teams in the past were within the rules and it was not a question of evil at all.

That means I'm messing with you openly.

A lot of what you think of as flagrant fouls now were just common fouls at the time. Blackfoot didn't matter. Chuck Daly just said, 'I just want to see blood.'

Of course, I am not singing praises for black feet and flagrant fouls. You were almost harmed by black feet at that time. We must resist this kind of bad behavior.

To put it bluntly, as an opponent, you are afraid of his black feet, but as a teammate, are you still afraid? Besides, Bowen has retired, and no one has done anything to him, so everyone is responsible for it.

The Spurs have a black-foot problem, and other teams are also not clean. No one has a problem. If they play so cleanly, there is no confrontation, and the "body hair whistle" is blown all day long, the rhythm is completely interrupted, and it is boring to watch.

Let me put it bluntly, the international men's basketball team does this better than the American professional basketball team.

Of course, I'm not talking about how good the Spurs are. They are indeed the best and most stable in the league. But if Los Angeles wants you, you can pack your bags for nothing, such as poor air quality or chaos in the locker room.

Report as soon as possible.

That is where talents should go. As long as you are strong and have a mature mentality, big cities are far more attractive than Texas.

The Spurs are such a stable team, but they have always had big problems in cultivating their stars.

Those who like it like it very much, and those who don't like it feel uncomfortable.

Any star who can become a star must be trained with the ball. So far, except for Parker and Duncan, the Spurs have not seen a third star who averages more than 30 shots per game.

If stars like Kobe and Iverson came to the Spurs, it would be a disaster.

So what do you think? Do you still want to go?"

"I don't want to aim too high. I need to stand firm first. If a team wants me, then I will be satisfied."

Lin Shaojie turned his head and looked out the window again, then looked back.

Why do I feel homesick when I look at the scenery outside the window? I miss Su Zhen!

It is impossible for children to have long-term love, but a good man has his ambitions in all directions.

"Yes or no, right is that you have a calm mind and can calm down, but wrong is that you underestimate yourself too much and lack that pride."

Xie Zhenghe nodded at Lin Shaojie beside him: "Speak directly, don't hide it from me, this is definitely not your true idea."

"Go to a team that can play to your strengths!"

Lin Shaojie raised his fist and said.

"Now that I'm here, I will also show my abilities. You can let me sit on the bench and watch the water dispenser, but when you let me play, please give me the ball and I will prove myself.

If not, then I would rather go back to the CBA and get a salary of 500,000 a year, and then come to the NBA after I have achieved results. If I can't transfer here, I will play in the NCAA for a year first."

After saying that, Lin Shaojie lowered his head again: "Will the teacher be very angry if I say this? You paid such a high price to let me come here."

"Why are you angry?"

Xie Zhenghe's eyes sparkled.

"Look, this is my apprentice. If you play basketball calmly, hello, me, hello, everyone, that's the problem. You can live in peace off the court. On the court, it's no different from the battlefield. You have to be passionate, especially in the professional arena.

, there is no room for femininity, it is a man’s battlefield.”

Xie Zhenghe cheered up and patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder.

"You are still young and you still have a chance. If it doesn't work this year, we will come back next year. Anyway, you must be clear about your goals before you come.

This is a business league. Choosing a team is like choosing a life path. Whether the city is good or bad will also affect the performance of the players. The history of some teams, the coaching habits of the coach, etc. must be taken into consideration. In the end,

One thing is teammates."

Lawrence took the opportunity to take over the topic: "Just like James, I will never allow you to be teammates with him. He is very strong, but his playing style is too ugly."

After saying that, Lawrence laughed "haha", and several people grinned and snickered.

"That was just a joke."

Lawrence pretended to hide it. In addition to his steady and efficient scoring and assists, the biggest reason why he was attracted to Lin Shaojie was because of his beauty on the court.

"In a team with a boss who has absolute control of the ball, there is no need for a point guard. He is just a serving machine and a scapegoat. The biggest role of young people is to carry bags for the boss. If they have not proven themselves

When you are capable, meeting such teammates is a disaster.

If you take this timeline longer, even Jordan will be considered one, so I don't recommend that you choose James as your teammate. Your temperaments are completely inconsistent.

Los Angeles should really consider it. Although Kobe is still the boss, his era has passed. If you can go there, your starting point will be much higher than that of the little giant.

Of course, Los Angeles never sent us an invitation to try out, I was just joking."

After saying that, Lawrence once again shrugged indifferently. The traditional strong and powerful were too overbearing. The newcomer was not a good choice in the past, but he couldn't resist "It smells so good."

The fact that the Spurs were able to send out a trial invitation really surprised everyone.

The car was speeding on the road in San Antonio, listening to Xie Zhenghe and Lawrence chatting along the way.

This is a city that is least like a beautiful country. It is different from the relatively arid Texas. Especially, the canals are lined with trees on both sides and full of unique style. The canal parade after the Spurs win the championship is usually held here.

But I don't know why. I heard that millions of tourists come here every year, but in Lin Shaojie's eyes, there is no essential difference between this and the river on the old street in Jiangbei.

There seems to be no difference except that their river is longer and the shops on both sides are more upscale.

Xie Zhenghe also saw Lin Shaojie's expression and said with a smile.

"Maybe it's because Westerners rarely see this kind of feeling similar to a small bridge and flowing water, so they are very interested in it."

Lin Shaojie was speechless. Even though the air pollution in Los Angeles was a bit serious, for young people, the super city is still very attractive, no worse than the Big Apple.

For a city as big as San Antonio, it’s really unreasonable that this river has become a special feature.

Just like young people in China, whoever travels to major cities will see "old streets". They have the same style of newly renovated "old streets", full of stinky tofu and small commodities, and have no characteristics.

When you go to a big city, you must see some dazzling... beautiful scenery, trendy... beautiful couples (females).

Of course, Lin Shaojie has not had the opportunity to see the vast farmland in Texas, the city of science and technology in Texas, etc. for the time being. What he has to do now is like putting products on the shelves, waiting for the last batch of "customers" to choose.

Some of the previous "customers" took one look and left;

Some glanced at it, picked it up, made signs, and then put it down;

Some didn't even look at it, just ignored it.

I wonder what kind of "customer" the Spurs are?

...

When we arrived at the Spurs' training center, the Spurs had just defeated the Suns in Phoenix yesterday. The troika did not work hard and beat their opponents flat. They were doing recovery training today.

On one side of the basketball hall, Lin Shaojie accepted various tests skillfully and distressingly. He looked "battle-tested" at first glance. The relevant questions in the test were also changed without changing the solution. Lin Shaojie, who was familiar with the tricks, then

It's not like his eyes went dark like when he first landed.

In the final analysis, these rules are still set by them. Once you are familiar with the procedures, they are just that. The Chinese are best at this, such as taking exams.

But the strange thing is, why can’t those professionals in China learn it?

Anyway, Lin Shaojie has only participated in two and a half tests, and he has probably learned the ropes.

After joining the Spurs, Lin Shaojie could feel the professionalism and satisfaction in the eyes of the staff who performed relevant tests on him.

Yes, all the data displayed by Lin Shaojie, both psychologically and physically, show that he is a healthy young man, very healthy and able to play at any time.

When Popovich showed up at the test venue with relevant information, it was the first time that Lin Shaojie and his team saw the current head coach of the NBA team appear.

"Hi old man, long time no see."

Lawrence was a little surprised by Popovich's greeting to him. The two had only had a one-sided relationship.

Judging from the relationship between the team and the scouts, and between the coach and the scouts, the two sides have never been closely connected.

How... is Popovich so understanding?

"Long time no see, Greg, the weather is really nice today."

The two old men, Lawrence and Popovich, embraced each other passionately, looking like a paper boat brotherhood (a plastic flower sisterhood).

The two old men are quite hypocritical at this moment. They are both the kind of people who are embarrassed as long as I am not embarrassed.

"Is this the young man you brought? He's an Oriental. I've seen the data and it's very good."

Popovich held the information in his hand and praised, Lawrence just took it as a courtesy and accepted the words.

"Of course, this is a unique genius that only exists in one billion people,"

Popovich did not deny that because of the on-site test data, if the name was hidden, he even thought it was a slightly shorter Leonard.

real.

Some of the numbers are even better than Leonard's.

From these seemingly one-sided data, Popovich can even see that if this child does not play basketball, there will be no problem at all in attending a prestigious school in the United States. The team doctors are almost convinced by Lin Shaojie's high EQ and high IQ.

Full marks.

This is a reasonable player, not a cancer in the locker room. The Spurs don't want cancer.

In Popovich's selection, there are obvious data such as points, rebounds and even steals. Audiences who know a little bit about basketball know that as a head coach, he wants to know more about what kind of person the players are.

How is your mentality?

Can we communicate?

These are all necessary tests for his selection of materials.

Choosing a player with good statistics but obvious cancer will ruin the entire team.

Popovich always likes players who are low-key, humble, united, and know how to share the ball.

Ultimately, he prefers a system player rather than a "dictator."

Players who are always used to complaining about their teammates are not his selection targets. They are completely bombs in the locker room. Popovich will not choose such players.

Preliminarily, it seems that Lin Shaojie's known information scores very high. Popovich believes in his team and is very satisfied with it.

The rest needs to be seen on the court and during communication. It is not clear on the video.

Coincidentally, Popovich usually doesn't have that much time, so rookies still have to get lucky if they want to see him.

He is a big shot in the NBA, and big shots rarely have such ample time to "appreciate" the performance of a rookie.

Maybe it was arranged by God, but not necessarily.

While Lin Shaojie was doing relevant exercise tests on the court, Spurs players sneaked over.

They gathered around the sidelines, watching Lin Shaojie struggling to show his strength on the court, and muttered in a low voice.

"Is that kid an adult? He looks so young, almost like a high school student."

"Yes, he looks younger than the elementary school boy from the Warriors, but that kid is so handsome, even more handsome than Tony."

"Are you trying to say that I'm handsome?"

"No, what Manu means is that you are not as handsome as that boy."

"Tim, you're skinny again."

A group of people were laughing and joking, but it could be seen that their relationship was very good, but the core of the discussion was still the troika headed by Duncan.

"Actually, this kid is really fast. Tony, can you keep up?"

Parker heard this, looked at the court thoughtfully, and then replied.

"If it's running without the ball, I shouldn't be able to beat him. He must have contacted sprinters; if it's running with the ball, I will definitely win. Don't forget, the person standing in front of you is an All-Star player who has won the skill competition championship.

.”

"A slower result than other champions?"

Duncan once again broke down the situation, and Parker was so angry that he had nothing to say.
