My basketball vision is different

Being alone in a foreign country seems a bit lonely.

After training, Lin Shaojie wanted to learn as much as possible about the city.

The most magnificent building in the local area is the government building. In my impression, some people who like to write diaries say that foreign government buildings are very dilapidated because the government gives all the money to the people.

Lin Shaojie wanted to pull them or them over to see which of your eyes saw that this government building was dilapidated.

It is the largest and most majestic in the city. It looks like a Greek castle and is full of sculptures. But when you walk in, you can hardly see the staff. It is like a tourist attraction, so you can visit it at will.

Of course, Lin Shaojie, who came here to try something new, can also feel some good feelings, and their superficial appearance is very good.

When you take the time to visit, you don’t have to worry too much if you want to see the governor or something like that.

The governor also regarded him as political capital. He was very enthusiastic the moment he saw him. In just a short time, the secretary took countless photos.

The entire city of Polis was familiar with this new "Mr. Fifty Million Dollars", and Lin Shaojie himself was worried that he might be kidnapped while walking on the road one day.

The governor under the camera seems to have no official authority and can still enjoy himself with the people, but in reality, the gap between the two sides is huge. Except when reporters are present, you can't touch them at all.

Walking on the street, before I came, I saw portraits all over the street welcoming me, and as I joined the group, I gradually evacuated.

Near the stadium, photos of myself and the entire Pacers team have begun to be put up one after another. After all, the league is about to start.

The entire city of Polis is quite clean. There are unique statues appearing on the streets from time to time, and there is even a "Kiss of the Century" sculpture. Lin Shaojie specially took a photo and sent it to Su Zhen.

The monument built to commemorate the Civil War is the first attraction. The statues on it are quite shocking. At night, under the light, it does have a different kind of beauty. It is a pity that Lin Shaojie cannot empathize with it.

For two dollars, you can take the elevator to the top of the monument and overlook the entire city.

Of course, the most beautiful thing in the whole city is the White River. Along the river, it is a bit similar to what Lin Shaojie saw in San Antonio before, but it seems that the view is wider.

The most surprising thing is that under the bridge, there is an oriental-style dragon portrait. I don’t know who made it, but there is water and dragon, and it looks very good.

The local university is also interesting. At the end of the canal, it appears directly in front of you without any obstruction.

This feels very good to Lin Shaojie.

Of course, there are also unfriendly aspects, that is, the city library is a bit far away, and it is not convenient for Lin Shaojie to walk or run.

The other artificial river is also good. Although it has too many traces of artificial axe-cutting, it looks quite clear because of the water source.

Of course it would be impossible not to go to the ring track in Polis. Lin Shaojie went to look at this F racing track, which is said to be made of three million bricks, during his training break. It was really spectacular.

In addition, the Masonic Cathedral is also Lin Shaojie’s goal. His true eye wants to see if he can find the same feeling. Of course, it’s all just a vain idea. It’s all just a tourist photo.

The house that the Pacers rented for Lin Shaojie was located near the city center. It was a beautiful-looking villa building. Not far away was the green space along the White River. The location was amazing, and it was only two kilometers away from the stadium.

Every time he passes by the community basketball court after training, Lin Shaojie will find that no matter what time of day, he can see a group of people playing basketball.

Especially at night, the lively stadiums are always filled with crowds.

In contrast, Lin Shaojie felt deeply.

There is definitely a hardware gap. There are really few basketball courts near domestic communities. Even if there are some open spaces, they have become square dance venues for the elderly. It is really difficult for young people to play ball.

Most of the courses with good hardware conditions have to charge a fee. In comparison, the hardware facilities alone will exclude some people.

In addition, we have heavy schoolwork. The younger ones have less time to play ball, and the older ones have to work. We really have some time for ourselves, and it is almost time to go to bed.

People who don’t get enough sleep still have a lot of energy to exercise.

The entire base group of people was oppressed over and over again.

So despite our large population base, this does not represent the basketball population.

In a beautiful country, there are too many people playing golf, especially Lao Hei.

And in terms of race, Lin Shaojie has to admit that the old blacks are indeed more suitable for this sport. Basketball seems to be tailor-made for them, just like table tennis, they can never beat us.

But over the years, we have relied on these efforts against time. Lin Shaojie believes that as time goes by, this situation will definitely improve. Sooner or later, everyone will pay attention to the importance of exercise to the body, instead of just staying.

On the mouth.

A few days after the training camp started, I thought that Larry Bird and I had finished the heart-to-heart talk and Lin Shaojie could train with peace of mind.

Lin Shaojie, who has found his niche with the Pacers these days, is like a fish in water and has integrated very well.

But I didn't expect that when Larry Bird appeared again, he would bring some little trouble to Lin Shaojie.

Before the operation, Larry said that this was the last time he would appear in front of everyone in the near future. He would have to undergo surgery soon. He was here just to tell everyone one thing.

Everyone in the locker room looked at the uncrowned king of the Pacers in a wheelchair, wondering what he was going to do.

Larry pointed to Lin Shaojie's position in the middle of the locker room.

"Lynn's position needs to be moved."

After saying that, he pointed his finger to one side, near the door.

Everyone looked at Lin Shaojie who was a little surprised in the crowd. Could it be this kid's idea?

As a rookie, Lin Shaojie, does he want to challenge the rules of the locker room?

Could it be that what he showed in front of everyone before was just an illusion? That would be too insidious!

Under Larry's personal arrangement, the cabinet in Lin Shaojie's dressing room was moved from the middle to the side, right next to Granger's wardrobe.

You know, in the locker room rules, the center is not the most important position. On the contrary, it is the rookie position.

The cabinet on the side is closer to the door, making it easier for reporters to interview, so that is where the boss of the locker room is.

As a newcomer, Lin Shaojie was the last one to join the team, so he was not qualified to choose the wardrobe.

But under Larry's arrangement, Lin Shaojie was actually ranked next to the "big boss" Granger, which is self-evident.

Although it is empty there, as the boss of the team, isn't it normal for Granger to occupy an extra closet?

The players left the locker room in twos and threes. They did not expect that Larry Bird came here just for this "little thing." Some people hesitated to say anything, but they still left the locker room under the leadership of their teammates.

"Do you blame me for getting into trouble for you?"

Larry in the wheelchair said with a smile.

"No, although it's a bit troublesome, I think you shouldn't aim at nothing."

Although Lin Shaojie was doubtful, he still affirmed Larry's approach.

"I went to the hospital and saw a doctor on the way, and at the same time I learned some news that I didn't know. You know, Danny (Granger) hid some things from me."

Larry said angrily: "His knee injury is far more serious than imagined, but he has been hiding it. Do you know what this means?"

Lin Shaojie suddenly realized that the preseason was about to start. At this time, Granger was actually suppressing his injury. Was he... worried about his starting position?

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, he is the boss of the team. Even if he occupies the starting point guard position and George Hill goes to score, Paul George was brought out by him and he will not follow him.

Grab the small forward position.

"He went to Los Angeles to train himself, but he injured himself. This damn guy, he shouldn't have gone to that damn place and stayed in Indiana honestly..."

According to Larry's words, Granger gave himself extra training during the offseason and made his knee injury more serious. In fact, the root of the problem was when he played against the Heat last year. In the fierce game, Granger

Causing yourself to get hurt.

If he could pay attention to it in advance and go to see it earlier instead of going to Los Angeles for additional training, these situations might not happen.

Anyway, Larry Bird was fed up. After all, in his plan, Lin Shaojie's joining the team had completely filled the Pacers' shortcomings. But now, Granger's sudden accident disrupted everything.

When he walked out of the locker room and arrived at the training ground, Lin Shaojie was still thinking about Granger.

Regarding his injury, Lin Shaojie has been vaguely aware of it. After all, as a big boss, Granger has not performed very well in recent training, and his condition is average. In some cases, he is even not as good as Paul George.

It all makes sense now, and his injury is not just a minor problem as he previously stated.

You must know that every action made by every player on the court during rapid changes of direction and other movements will cause huge pressure on the patients.

But if the speed and frequency are reduced, the original threat of breakthrough will definitely be greatly reduced.

Lin Shaojie walked onto the court with a slightly depressed expression. No one knew what was going on. Everyone only knew one thing. With the support of his boss, Lin Shaojie rose to the top and became the team's boss second only to Granger.

In this case, if you do not rely on your own ability, but on your "background", everyone will not recognize it.

A group of players even looked down upon him, and even George Hill didn't want to say anything to Lin Shaojie at this time.

"Hi, is that what you wanted to do but didn't dare to do, so you finally called your 'father' to help?"

At some point, Paul stood in front of Lin Shaojie. After hearing this, a group of players who were training burst into laughter.

Those new people just know how to make noise, and for them, those things will never have anything to do with them.

Granger didn't say anything, but just watched from a distance. As his younger brother, Paul stood up to speak for his elder brother. No one thought there was anything strange about this.

The atmosphere in the entire training camp suddenly became strange.

Frank wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Larry who came over.

Seeing that the head coach didn't stop him, the players on the field started to boo like wild horses running wild.

"Come on rookie, if you want that position, beat me first. Don't try to challenge Danny, you're not qualified yet!"

Although Paul wanted to say something harsher, he felt short-tongued. Apart from what he did badly today, that boy had done really well before. He was the one who carried him on his shoulders when he was drunk that day.

Getting on the bus.

Paul didn't forget.

"Paul, I don't want to fight you!"

A group of onlookers laughed out loud when they heard this.

David West, a veteran, pointed at Lin Shaojie and said.

"Rookie, put away your Oriental humility. At this time, you can either accept the challenge or change your position in the locker room and apologize to us."

A group of old black men gathered together like this, with smiles in their eyes.

Lin Shaojie raised his head and looked at Granger in the crowd.

"Danny, is this what you mean too?"

"Hi, this has nothing to do with Danny. Your opponent is me, do you understand?"

Paul tapped Lin Shaojie's chest with his hand. He was ten centimeters taller than Lin Shaojie and his physical talent was very outstanding.

"I just want to ask, if I defeat you, no one will bother me about this matter anymore? I think your words don't count. I need Danny to give me a definite answer."

"With ten goals, if you can defeat Paul, that position will be yours."

Granger suddenly spoke, then looked around and said to everyone.

"We should believe in this rookie. He doesn't have the guts to take my position. I respect Larry's decision, but we also have to see the strength of the rookie. I won't say anything like Ricky (Davis) did."

I thought he was chosen to help me, but after all, all of us know that Larry spent a lot of money on him."

After speaking, Granger said to Lin Shaojie: "Now it's your turn, rookie, show your strength and don't be beaten by Paul."

After saying that, Granger stepped back and Paul threw the basketball in his hand to Lin Shaojie.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Shaojie caught the basketball flying in the air with one hand, just like he had done it a long time ago.

"If I were first, I'm sure you wouldn't have a chance."

"Don't worry, I will let you taste the taste of failure."

Paul said confidently.

Paul thought about this guy's previous training with the team, his wide vision and ghostly passing. He admitted that this guy was a qualified point guard, even better than everyone expected.

But now is the one-on-one stage after all.

During the draft, Paul's positioning was unclear and his shooting was inaccurate. However, after entering the league, Paul repeatedly strengthened his shooting and defense.

He knows that although his offense has many tricks, it is far from the offensive kaleidoscope like Anthony, and he does not have a super core scoring method.

Thinking about Lin Shaojie's strength, Paul felt that with his own talent, it would not be easy to win in a head-on confrontation.

On the contrary, the defense that he is proud of has been strengthened with the help of Danny since entering the league, so Paul George's choice is... defense!

The teammates stood outside the half court, watching Lin Shaojie hold the ball and prepare to attack.

At this time, no one will help them. Lin Shaojie's so-called broadening of vision and court wisdom are of no use at all. This is a one-on-one session, which the old blacks like to watch the most and are most keen to watch.

David West thought about when he first entered the league and was taught how to behave by those veterans, and now it’s time to watch on his own.

As for Lin Shaojie's 54 points on the London night, many people may think that it was the result of "explosion". After all, in these days of training camp, Lin Shaojie has made everyone recognize how outstanding he is as a core point guard. His understanding of tactics when running with or without the ball is extraordinary.

But now it's just a one-on-one challenge.

Facing Paul's long arms, Lin Shaojie turned slightly sideways to cover, and raised his buttocks to give him a fairly good space.

Although Paul is only a third-year player entering the league, this is the time when he is producing results. Everyone can feel that his offense and defense are improving rapidly. If it were not for his relatively peaceful personality, he would be With his strength, it is possible for the team to become the fourth or even the third in charge.

Being able to be the main force on a playoff team is definitely one of the best players in the world.

Even some of the staff and trainers in the training camp are far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength. It is only because of their innate static talents, height, wingspan, etc. that they have not entered the professional arena.

The technical strength of those people is even better than some substitutes, let alone main players like Paul.

Feeling Lin Shaojie's silky dribbling, Paul was also a little envious. He knew his problem. The center of gravity of dribbling was very high and the ball was easily intercepted, but there was nothing he could do about it because of his height.

Unlike Lin Shaojie, he can adjust at any time, up or down as he pleases.

Of course, it's not right to say that. After all, there is a guy taller than him, yes, the guy from the Thunder.

Paul had never seen a player that tall. His dribbling was so smooth, which almost subverted his understanding. That guy was a long-armed monster!

Lin Shaojie's height and wingspan are also exaggerated. Paul knows that it is almost impossible for him to intercept the opponent's dribble, so he just tries his best to prevent penetration shots.

But when Lin Shaojie pushed back, it seemed to bounce away the moment it came into contact with him, and Paul quickly jumped out after him.

But facing Lin Shaojie's fadeaway shot, Paul just missed the air.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow into the frame.

That kid's back is so turned back!

"I will hit two more in this way, you don't have to worry that I will break through you."

Lin Shaojie reminded him "kindly" that Paul threw the basketball in his hand again.

"Come on! Don't use words to interfere with my judgment."

"Bang" "Bang!"

The basketball bounced on the ground, and Lin Shaojie repeated the same action.

Although he had kindly reminded Paul, the other party obviously didn't believe it. This kind of distracting behavior allowed Lin Shaojie to easily hit the next two goals in succession.

"I said, you don't have to worry about my breakthrough."

Lin Shaojie made a "three to zero" gesture.

Larry Bird's eyes lit up when he saw him off the court. If Kobe was once the young man he admired most, then if you go one step further, it would undoubtedly be Jordan.

Lin Shaojie's back-and-back moves didn't even have any extra feints. They were just pressing Paul. George was shooting and there was no way to defend him.

There wasn't even any feints or fake moves with his feet and shoulders, he just relied on his physical talent to press and hit.

Post up, open up space, turn around, and shoot.

Without bounce and core strength, it is easy to be blocked when facing Paul's defense, but seeing the opponent's simple movements without even a trace of unnecessary movement, how could Larry Bird not be happy.

This is how Jordan shattered the basketball dreams of newcomers one after another.

When Lin Shaojie changed his attack method and faced Paul head-on, his cross-stepping and behind-the-back dribbling were all a reflection of his touch.

Without a super long wingspan, it would be impossible to perform such an easy move. Paul has numerous defensive capabilities in the team, and it is completely impossible to deal with such an offensive method.

"Don't worry, I will only break through from your left side."

After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, Paul rushed to his left when he turned slightly sideways. His basketball movements were obviously not fast, but Paul just couldn't defend.

"You see, with Lynn's height, he is definitely not a dwarf at the point guard position. And with his wingspan, there is no way to guard him when he changes direction."

Paul also didn't expect that Lin Shaojie's first step was obviously not that fast, but the frequency was very strange. It was like a combo of 1433223, but he missed a 3 in the middle, which was very uncomfortable.

Paul even forced himself to adapt to this strange change, but he obviously learned his lesson and knew that the opponent would break through from his left side, but knowing in his heart and executing it with his body were two different concepts.

The moment the kid took his first step, Paul had no time to adjust his center of gravity. His three-quarter sprint performance shouldn't be like this. Can't you use some tricks to break through with speed?

Always using these things from the underworld will shorten your life!

Of course, Lin Shaojie could "see" Paul's embarrassment. When he was facing a breakthrough, he only had to identify the opponent's center of gravity, adjust his core strength at any time, and break through at the same time. It couldn't be easier.

When Lin Shaojie broke through from Paul's left side one after another, the Pacers players watching from the sidelines knew that Paul was finished.

Linn, who previously had a kind personality and won everyone's admiration for his intelligence and vision on the court, turned out to be a master of breakthroughs.

Even if only two abilities are displayed, the visual impact that talent brings to everyone is really strong. Anyone who can step into this arena knows that talent determines a person's upper limit.

That kid's sense of rhythm was so strong that even the speed and strength he was proud of were useless, and Paul was beaten like this.

When Lin Shaojie brought the score of six to zero, he asked again.

"Continue?"

Paul bit his lip: "Continue!"

Well, Lin Shaojie looked at Larry Bird outside the court and said with a smile.

"I'm just shooting here, no technique required!"

The players on the sidelines were also stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Larry Bird not far away again.

"Is Lynn trying to suck up to you? Pay tribute to Larry?"

Everyone unconsciously looked back and forth between the two people.

Paul watched Lin Shaojie treat him with such contempt. Given his height and wingspan, the boy actually ignored him and said some bullshit shooting.

But Lin Shaojie, who was standing outside the three-point line, took off in a daze. Paul was too distracted to defend the first ball. When he looked back, he only heard.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball is in the frame.

"Bah bang bang!"

Larry on the sidelines clapped his hands and whistled as he wasn't satisfied.

"Yes, what the hell do you use to pass people, just shoot the ball, just shoot the ball!"

Lin Shaojie seemed to be very obedient, and his four consecutive long-range shots from the three-point line made Paul shut up.

The first three defenders on Paul were pretty regular, but the last one hit him head-on and face-first, and he didn't hesitate to foul. The brat almost closed his eyes and was pinned under him, but he still shot steadily.

Just scoring like this, how can Paul, who has a relatively weak shooting arsenal, be willing to do so.

"The game is over!"

Lin Shaojie held the basketball and said relaxedly: "I got my position, do you accept it?"

Although everyone knows that Lin Shaojie is talking about "the location of the locker room!"

But no matter how you hear this, you feel strange. Everyone knows what that position represents. Even David West is a little sad at this time. After all, he is not a direct descendant of the Pacers, but he is indeed the anchor of the locker room.

"If you can make a pass to me like you made to Ian, I think you can use that position."

As soon as Roy (Hibbert), the tallest guy, opened his mouth, everyone realized that the highest paid guy in the team was still standing here!

"Don't worry, as long as he is my 'teammate,' I will let him produce super statistics."

Lin Shaojie rotated the basketball in his hand. The basketball held by his index finger was spinning rapidly in his hand, like a black hole, attracting the attention of other players.

After Roy expressed his stance, Granger stepped forward and patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder.

"Okay rookie, we recognize your position, but you must also do everything you say."

Lin Shaojie went back and bumped fists with Granger: "Believe me Danny, no one knows how to pass the ball better than me!"

A dispute within the team seemed to have disappeared invisibly. No one knew whether it was temporarily suppressed or whether it was hidden. Anyway, the atmosphere at the scene was pretty good. Everyone pretended that it had never happened. Only Paul was beaten.

A little confused.

When the training ended, Lin Shaojie did not leave. Seeing Granger preparing to take his younger brother out of the training camp, Lin Shaojie greeted him quickly.

"Danny, can you stay for a while?"

In Paul's confused eyes, Granger and Lin Shaojie were standing on the sidelines. The staff was cleaning up the basketball court. When they saw the "old and new" bosses in the team, they hid a little away, fearing that there would be some dispute between them.

"Larry told me something today, and he asked me to tell you. Maybe my wording is not very good, but I think what he said makes sense."

"Larry?"

Granger said with a slight frown.

"I think the coaches also know that it's about your knee injury. They suggest that you'd better have surgery as soon as possible instead of delaying it."

Granger, who was originally calm and composed, looked a little embarrassed.

"Although I don't know your physical condition, one thing I know is that Larry really wants to make a breakthrough this year. We are very strong in every position, no worse than the Heat. Larry wants revenge.

And you are an important part of his dream?"

Lin Shaojie knew that why Larry Bird asked him to deliver the message, maybe it was to give him more weight in the locker room. After all, with Granger's support, his right to speak will increase day by day, which is better than relying on external forces (Larry

.Bird) came more quickly.

"But doesn't he have you now?"

Granger said jealously, like a child whose candy had been stolen.

"No, I'm just a puzzle piece in this plan. You are the most important, but you have a problem now. Larry hopes you can solve this problem as soon as possible. We don't want your body to have problems again in the middle of the game.

That would be a disaster for us, boss!"

Lin Shaojie said flatteringly.

Granger's mood improved a little, but then he patted his knee gently.

"Okay rookie, although you have good intentions, I still think you are Larry's microphone. No one likes to be the front office's microphone, and the same goes for you."

"Go and have a look earlier. Although we haven't cooperated in a formal game yet, I'm still waiting for you to come back. Then you can feel how wonderful my passing is."

Lin Shaojie sent Granger away, and the training camp started again the next day, but Granger took leave and did not show up. During the training break, Paul secretly asked Lin Shaojie.

"Rookie, what did you say to Danny yesterday? Where were the others?"

Lin Shaojie looked at this child who seemed not to have grown up under Granger's protection.

"You're a third-year rookie. That's your boss. In the end, you came to ask me about his whereabouts. Didn't he tell you that he was going to the hospital for surgery?"

"What?"

Paul felt a sense of abandonment: "You said Danny is in the hospital?"

At that moment, Paul's voice was a little loud in the training camp. Everyone turned their heads and looked over. Everyone thought Lin Shaojie had another conflict with Paul!

"I have some bad news for you all."

At some point, head coach Frank stood behind everyone and said, and a group of people looked over.

"Danny is feeling a little unwell. After the team doctor's diagnosis, he needs a minor operation and is not expected to be able to make it to the preseason."

A group of people looked at each other. The preseason game was about to begin. Although it was just a feast for rookies, it was not an official game after all.

At this time, Granger retired due to injury? Didn't he have a good check-up during the offseason?

That afternoon, for the first time, Lin Shaojie put on his jersey and formally trained with his teammates as a main player, rather than as a sixth man or other players, and played a training match.

Driven by Larry Bird, Frank's intention to mold Lin Shaojie into the new offensive core and engine was demonstrated in that training game.

The effect is obvious. Frank, a coach who talks relatively little and focuses more on defense, gives players a lot of room to play in offense, which also requires players to have very high professionalism and on-court adaptability.

The previous Pacers were able to achieve above the passing line, but it was difficult to get an excellent score.

Lin Shaojie's appearance raised the team's tactical score from 60 to 70 in an instant, and it was still rising visibly. This was the best thing for a coach.

In this way, Lin Shaojie participated in the training camp as the main player, and everyone gradually adapted to his status as the main player until October 11, the Pacers' first preseason game, an away game against the Timberwolves.

Compared with popular teams such as the Heat and Lakers, this kind of game itself is not interesting.

But they couldn't resist Lin Shaojie, the "Mr. Fifty Million Dollars." Everyone wanted to see how this player who made his fortune in the Olympics rose to the top in one step, from an amateur to a professional.

Especially viewers from beautiful countries are very curious about this.

ESPN even broadcast this preseason game as a highlight and specially invited an old acquaintance from China, Barkley the Flying Pig.

"I have repeatedly emphasized that you should not expect me to say anything or even promise anything. I said that I am optimistic about that guy, more optimistic about him than the little giant. That guy is the guy who scored 54 points on Mengshi."

I don’t know who Barkley was mocking.

Yang Ma, who was also broadcasting the game, spared no effort. They had already sent people to Indianapolis, but Lin Shaojie only briefly cooperated and turned everything down on the grounds of training.

The reporter was both pleased and frustrated. The boy was a bit uncooperative and too strict in his words.

It’s not until the preseason starts that we’re “out of the game.”

But the news gimmick feeling is gone.

Director Zhang and Yu Jia, who were sitting in the commentary box, looked very interested.

"Director Zhang, I didn't see Director Lin in the Asian competition this time. We only got fifth place. Are you feeling unwilling?"

"This exists objectively. After all, our players are still very young. It is good to achieve the current results. Players like Coach Lin are too lethal if they are put on the team. There is no need to participate at all."

On the screen, Lin Shaojie and Kirilenko of the Timberwolves, who appeared on the court, hugged each other passionately, and the two could not make a deal without fighting.

Although Kirilenko ultimately ended in failure, he led Russia from the qualifying round to fourth place. If not for the super dark horse Chinese team, he might have won a bronze medal.

But with the appearance of Lin Shaojie, everything changed.

"Are you free after the game? Let's have a drink together?"

Lin Shaojie didn't know whether the other party wanted him to drink the water of life or milk.

It should be drinking milk, right?

"No problem. I'll go to Indiana the day after tomorrow. I know a good place. I'll invite you there then."

Lin Shaojie raised his eyebrows and said, which made Kirilenko have some thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Lin En, who looked serious, was actually a member of the same group. "World of Warcraft" is so fun, so everyone should form a group to play World of Warcraft, right?

As for the topic of going out for sex, Kirilenko didn't want to use this precious opportunity once a year in Indiana, where he felt there weren't any good girls.

In this game, Granger has disappeared from the roster due to surgery.

Lin Shaojie stepped into the NBA and enjoyed the treatment of starting in the first game. When he appeared on the court, he was greeted with warm cheers from the audience.

As for the nickname "Magic Baby" mentioned earlier, it has now been unified into "Fifty Million Dollar Baby."

The shouts coming from his ears made Director Zhang overjoyed.

"It seems that our Director Lin is very popular!"

In addition to No. 13 Lin Shaojie, the Pacers' starting lineup also includes Hibbert, Paul George, Hansbrough and Gerald Green.

Neither George Hill nor David West appeared on such an occasion.

On the contrary, the Timberwolves obviously attach great importance to the game. Kirilenko also has Love, Pekovic, Barea and Roy.

Especially Roy, who was once a top defender, has now been reduced to this stage due to injuries.

Thinking about Granger in the team, Lin Shaojie really didn't want Granger to follow in this footsteps. It was really cruel.

After the game started, Kirilenko assisted Love to score at the basket. For the Pacers, Lin Shaojie played very easily. The opponent did not pay much attention to him as a rookie and gave him ample space to play the ball.

Hibbert is definitely the most comfortable when he is playing under the basket. Lin Shaojie's passing is much better than in training. As long as there is a chance under the basket, he can receive the pass and make the Timberwolves scream inside.

"Look, Coach Lin's level is as good as ever. I want to clap every time I see his pass. It's so beautiful."

Director Zhang said with some exaggeration that the transition from "Ke Chui" to "Lin Chui" was so smooth and not inconsistent at all.

"Let's talk about the two passes just now. One was a sudden pass from the center line, and the crowd didn't react. The other was a pass directly behind the outside. Except for Kirilenko, who could also do something, Love completely

Even though he was deceived, Pekovic didn't react."

Halfway through the first quarter, the Timberwolves' shooting percentage was not high, but the Pacers had a huge inside advantage and played smoothly.

Pekovic also seemed absent-minded and played very loosely.

Roy, who came back, quickly took over the game and constantly tried to help the team score by breaking through and passing the ball.

Guard Lin Shaojie should have been guarding him, but he took the initiative to switch defenses with Paul, leaving Paul George to guard Roy.

Under Paul's defense, Roy didn't score many points, and it was difficult to pass the ball because Lin Shaojie was on the court.

After most of the game, Lin Shaojie scored his fourth assist, 14-7, and the Pacers had a smooth start in the away game.

The Timberwolves quickly called a timeout. Although the Timberwolves had overestimated their opponents, the Pacers were more powerful than expected. Even the core of the team was not on the court. They were actually a little overwhelmed and were beaten by the rookie. This made the Timberwolves

Somewhat embarrassing.

The fans at the scene also discussed it one after another.

"Is that No. 13 confirmed to be Chinese? His passing is so good!"

"It feels like we are in some danger. He feels so stable on the court. I don't know what his scoring ability is."

"Of course, he scored 54 points against Kobe and James. How could he not score against a lineup like ours."

"Without Garnett, we are completely useless... If he was here, our inside line wouldn't be so fragile."

"What about Pekovic? Isn't he the most ferocious inside player? No one dares to offend him? Why did he let the center score several points on his head?"

When the fans faced the defeat, they once again thought of the figure that had faded away.

Soon, the Timberwolves came back and changed their tactics. They wanted to bloom again inside and outside.

Since you are not accurate enough, try to rush in as much as possible. The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. This is true!

As for Lin Shaojie, he was also assigned a personal "bodyguard!"

Roy!

Seeing that this Huang Mamba, who was already a broken body, actually came back, Lin Shaojie didn't know what the other person was thinking about, and he wouldn't dare to do this if he wasn't in true love.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

Lin Shaojie frowned a little. I don't know why. Is it because of the cultural quality of black people?

I feel like in addition to this opening statement, these black players will say these clichés. What about your raps and swearing?

Can you sneak away a little bit to give everyone some freshness?

"As much as I respect your attitude towards basketball, this is my first game and I can't screw him up. I'm sorry, Brandon."

Just when Roy was still thinking about what the other person said "sorry" about, Lin Shaojie took a big step and rushed over at the moment his center of gravity shifted, without giving Roy any time to adjust.

"Look, this is Coach Lin's breakthrough. The first step is unmatched. It's either lightning fast or a change of pace.

I asked members of the national team, and their evaluation of Coach Lin's step was that it's not that you have no time to react, but that you clearly know that he will break through from you, but there is no way to adjust the center of gravity, so sometimes everyone watches from the sidelines.

When you stand up, it’s like your opponent is in a daze.”

Roy felt very bad at the scene. If he had not been troubled by injuries, he might have been able to forcefully reverse his center of gravity and stop the person. But now, he could only watch No. 13 go away.

Lin Shaojie rushed in and attracted the attention of the Timberwolves. Pekovic extended his hand to block it, but Lin Shaojie took off with the last step, retracted the basketball in front of him in mid-air, and passed it out from behind.

Hibbert under the basket received such a pie-feeding pass, how could he not score.

Kirilenko on the side couldn't stop him at all.

"boom!"

"Whoosh!"

The Pacers scored two more points.

Lin Shaojie slowly walked back and high-fived his teammates one by one.

Although Paul George did not perform too outstandingly in the first quarter, his defense solved a lot of trouble for Lin Shaojie. He is definitely a conscientious teammate.

The Timberwolves front office staff off the field looked at this goal and sighed secretly.

"Larry Bird's picks are so good. Just watching this quarter of the game, you would think that this is a tall and thin version of Paul, Chris Paul."

They currently have no one to replace, and the talent of the players on the field is the best, but when the offense is not open, the Timberwolves are in a bit of trouble.

"That kid No. 13 is obviously not fast, but he has a good sense of rhythm. Our players can't defend at all. If we want to win the game, we must restrict him. I will do that in the second half."

The coach immediately responded. Adelman said helplessly to reporters during the halftime break.

Love doesn't feel like he's recovered. Needless to say, Roy is having a hard time guarding a talented new star.

Pekovic?

This is a big boss, he can fight as he pleases, Adelman can only coax him. Now it seems that Pekovic has not adjusted yet and thinks it is a vacation.

But this lineup is already the best in Adelman's hands, but the result of the performance is just like the score, which is clear to everyone.

32 to 48, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

After returning from the break, Lin Shaojie did not play in the third quarter and was replaced by another guard, Orlando Johnson, who had a basketball-like name.

But in horizontal comparison, the rhythm after the start of the second half is not as clear as it was in the first half. Frank, the head coach, can see it at a glance, and other players on the field can also feel it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Timberwolves chased points one after another.

Johnson thought he would have a good start. As a substitute for Lin Shaojie, the No. 3 overall pick, he had long wanted to prove himself.

However, the head coach did not give him a chance to play in the first half. Looking at Roy's broken body and Love's loss of position, Johnson felt that he could go up.

Now the opportunity has come, and his chance as a 36th-round pick has come to prove himself.

But the opportunity was given to him, but it was useless if he couldn't seize it.

"Look, the draft shows everything. There is a reason why the third overall pick is the third overall pick."

Director Zhang looked like a wise man, especially when he saw Lin Shaojie sitting off the court, and the newly replaced No. 11 looked like a bully, how could Director Zhang, this "Lin Biao", sit still.

"That's not right. It's time to replace Coach Lin and take away the opponent in one wave. There's no need for all this effort!"

"Look at this ball. Coach Lin's handling of the ball on the court must be the most reasonable. No one handles the ball more reasonably than him on the court."

"What the hell is No. 11 Johnson doing? Passing the ball to 'Gao Yuanyuan'!"

The Yu family was stunned for a moment: Gao Yuanyuan?

"Oh, I'm talking about Hibbert, not the Gao Yuanyuan you think of?"

"What am I thinking about?"

Yu Jia glanced at Coach Zhang next to him, and sure enough, whenever Lin Shaojie was not present, Coach Zhang had a nose instead of a nose, and eyes instead of eyes. Even Frank, the coach who clearly liked Lin Shaojie, became a problem.

What's this?

This is a true fan!

When the third quarter ended and the score was 56-62 in the fourth quarter, Frank allowed Lin Shaojie to play again. No. 11 Johnson saw that his great form was wiped out by himself, and he was so ashamed that he did not dare to say a word.

"Actually, you played very well, but you shouldn't get serious with Brandon. It's better to avoid him than to confront him head-on."

Lin Shaojie comforted his teammates. Paul George, who played with him, glanced at him. He didn't expect that Lin Shaojie would actually comfort his competitor. Didn't that guy know that the opponent wanted to take his place?

"Are you wondering why I told Orlando (Johnson) the trick?"

Lin Shaojie seemed to be minding his own business.

"After all, he is my teammate. I need someone to step up when I am not on the court, so that we can avoid shortcomings as much as possible, especially in the playoffs, every game is crucial."

"Do you think I don't understand this?"

Paul responded quietly.

"No, I know you understand, but I'm afraid some people don't understand."

Lin Shaojie said with a smile.

"Some people have been in the league for several years, but it doesn't mean they have several years of experience. It's just that they have used one year's experience for many years. Unlike me, I am learning experience anytime and anywhere, because I am very smart, Orlando

(Johnson) can never compete with me."

Lin Shaojie said, tapped his temple, and ran away.

Ran away...

Already......

Paul George was left alone in a daze.

"Is that kid saying that I have no brains and won't gain experience?"

Paul wanted to say stop, but on the court, he quickly enjoyed the feeling of being "arranged".

Lin Shaojie and his cooperation created an extremely wonderful tacit understanding.

During the pick-and-roll, Lin Shaojie, who took the initiative to do the "dirty work", could always pass the ball back to Paul at the most appropriate time, and then block the opponent.

"Shoot!"

Under Lin Shaojie's command, Paul always subconsciously jumped and shot. With his height and wingspan advantage, he instantly became unstoppable, and the basketball "swish" into the frame.

"Look, it's that simple to defeat your opponent!"

Patting Paul's big butt, Lin Shaojie said proudly. The former looked at Lin Shaojie arrogantly.

"If you hadn't passed the ball well to me, I would like to ask, who is using one year's experience as several years?"

"Did I say that?"

Lin Shaojie ran away innocently.

Looking at the score on the court, 70-84, the Pacers defeated their opponents in a flurry in the last quarter and took away the victory.

Frank said very exaggeratedly after the game.

"Look, our No. 13 rookie, can you imagine that this is this rookie's first game? He scored 11 points, but he also had 16 assists and 5 rebounds, all offensive rebounds.

I don’t know any other rookie who is as exaggerated as him. Believe me, he didn’t give his best at all. He is our court commander, and with him here, I feel very relieved.”

It's nothing for your own coach to praise his players, it's human nature, let alone winning the game.

But as an opponent, Adelman was generous with his praise, which is relatively rare.

"The gap between us and our opponents is not big, but we are missing one Lynn, yes, the No. 13 overall pick. We had already caught up, but Frank released their nuclear weapons.

Larry made a very good choice. If Frank gives him a little more time in today's game, I think he will get 20 assists. Tomorrow you will see this '50 million dollar' player in all the media.

What a great value sir.”

Adelman's speech represents the voice of Nike. They have repeatedly urged the R&D department to launch Lin Shaojie's signature shoes as soon as possible.

The "ooxx baby" that the fans originally called it was not appropriate at all. They decided to call it the "Commander" series. There is no more appropriate name than this.

This is only the first game and Lin Shaojie has scored 16 assists. When he adapts to the Pacers' tactics, will he get more assists?

Coupled with his defense, will he be the next Kidd?

Thinking about his scoring, Kidd has actually become the lower limit. How terrible a Kidd who can score is. People at Nike know very well that the players they signed with this huge sum of money will not get gold mines, but diamond mines.

Bar!

I wonder if Adi fainted in the toilet from crying!
