My basketball vision is different

In O'Neal's eyes, if you just look at Lin Shaojie's appearance, even with his oriental face, but with sharp edges and corners, he still feels like a big boy next door.

It's the kind of boy you were very jealous of when you were in school and wanted to be like the boy who was very popular with girls.

But what about actually on the field?

Behind the seemingly nonchalant appearance, there is a deep scheming and veteran composure on the court.

O'Neal was not surprised by the opponent's speed and touch. Although his shooting percentage was high, it was not unexpected. This was a guy who could score 54 points on a beautiful country when he exploded.

With O'Neal's dominance, he wouldn't dare to score such an amazing score casually.

But Lin Shaojie's experience and sophistication on the court are really amazing.

In contrast, Gilchrist is also a rookie and ranked second.

He made one of seven shots in the game and scored two points. This score is really bad;

The rebounds are pretty good, I grabbed six rebounds, but if I look closely, I see that there is only one offensive rebound, and the remaining five are all backcourt rebounds. I feel like I picked up my own rebounds. Does this make sense?

On the other hand, the No. 13 pick on the opposite side, in this game against the Bobcats, once again scored in double figures, scoring 18 points, almost reaching 20 points.

Looking at the assists again, 14 assists are completely the data of a super point guard, but other than that?

With 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 5 rebounds, the Pacers’ top rebounders were Hibbert and Paul George, who both had 7 rebounds, but the most important thing is that Lin Shaojie’s 5 rebounds were all

Offensive rebound.

Looking at the last game, Lin Shaojie scored 16 points, 12 assists, 5 steals, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks against the Raptors.

Looking at each of the statistics alone, they are not top-notch, especially the scoring, which is not even the highest in the Pacers team.

But when you put all the data together, you can see that this guy's versatility is completely unique among rookies.

Even if we compare the data of another No. 1 pick, Anthony Davis, he has 8 points and 6 rebounds, and he is a rookie who is still in the development stage.

Compared with players like Lin Shaojie who can be used on the field and are so easy to use, many voices have come out saying that Lin En from the East is the biggest discovery among this rookie class.

He is extremely talented, but because of his race and country, he is both expected and ignored. He is definitely a very contradictory rookie.

O'Neal can guarantee that if such a rookie belongs to the beautiful country, even if he is a yellow man, he will receive more praise than Lin Madness.

But it is obvious that, except for the local media in Indiana, the entire public opinion is paying more attention to Lin Shaojie's off-field exploits.

The media is always telling how attractive the "Mr. $50 Million" is off the court, how good his appearance is, how many female fans pay attention to him every game, and so on.

But in terms of what he actually saw, O'Neill found that this was not the case.

Lin Shaojie, who looks like a playboy and even plays the flute every night, is actually quite a gentleman. His photos with the fans are more of a sign of mutual respect and recognition. He looks elegant in front of and behind the camera, unlike many players.

, making people feel like they are in front of the camera, but when the camera turns, a cold face appears.

"This is definitely discrimination. I like this kid and I will watch his next game."

O'Neal, holding a data sheet in his hand, seemed a little crazy.

"Believe me, this kid is definitely a big shot. Maybe you don't pay much attention to him now, but he is very strong and is no worse than those famous players who have been famous for a long time.

Heat, your opponent is here. No need to doubt what I said, it is the Pacers. Although Danny (Granger) is not there for the time being, I can guarantee that the Pacers' record will not be bad. They have found the password to win.

.”

As he spoke, O'Neal stood domineeringly in front of the camera, raising his index finger on his left hand, and his index, middle and ring fingers on his right hand, making a "13" pattern in front of the camera.

"The No. 1 overall pick is coming on the 13th. Are you prepared for all the teams in the league?"

O'Neal's seemingly exaggerated performance made many people dismissive. After all, O'Neal after retirement was far more exaggerated than he was on the court. That was his way of survival, and everyone seemed to be used to his performance.

However, Lin Shaojie achieved a double-double in the first two games of the rookie game, and was considered by many media to be a strong contender for this year's Rookie of the Year, worthy of being the third overall pick.

Even President Stern wrote:

The little giant is not the last legend of China, because Lin from China, yes, the No. 13 rookie Lin En, proved that small players can also show themselves in the highest level league and perform at their best.

.

People often say that height is required to play in the American professional basketball team, but he used his height to prove that even if the height is insufficient, the gap can be made up through technology.

Okay! Lin Shaojie, who is 1.93 meters tall, is not even close to the average height of the NBA. Just be shorter!

At the end, Stern emphasized again:

The Little Giant is not the last great player in China, but he is the first great player in China. Now Lin En is walking on this path, so...the league must continue to increase its presence in China.

development and launch a development plan for the next 15 years.

So...everything is actually a business.

It seems that the public opinion is not the kind of overwhelming propaganda, but many people say that O'Neal has collected "black money" from China. O'Neal expressed dissatisfaction on Twitter.

"When the Lakers failed to win for various reasons, including preseason games, the Lakers have lost ten consecutive games, but everyone still focuses on them;

The Heat dominated the Eastern Conference as early as the year before last and won the championship last season, so it's not a bad idea for people to pay attention to him;

But what about the rookie?

This guy, who ranks third in the team in shots, has an astonishing true shooting percentage of 70%. Even if he only has data from these two games, shouldn't you pay more attention to him?"

Behind O'Neal's tweet, some people followed suit and praised him.

"Wow, great data. I want to see that guy. He looks really good. I like his style."

"You shouldn't just look at his appearance. Really, his performance conquered me. He is the most outstanding Chinese player after the Little Giant."

O'Neal replied later.

Someone was sarcastic.

"Since Shaquille retired, Shaquille has started talking nonsense. I think he is more suitable for talk shows, rather than basketball commentators. A true shooting percentage of 70%? Is the data wrong? Inside players are up to

Not even that, let alone a perimeter player, is he more accurate than Reggie Miller?"

O'Neal replied to this comment.

"Young man, if you confirm that it is just the shooting percentage of these two games, then I want to tell you that Lynn's true shooting percentage indeed exceeds Reggie. The third overall pick not only has a high true shooting percentage, but also has an efficiency value of 31. Currently and

LeBron is tied for first."

The unknown user replied again.

"It's impossible. The only one who can compare with LeBron is Kevin Durant. Lynn is just a clown who relies on his appearance to gain attention."

Looking at this comment, O'Neal felt strange indescribably.

Isn't it now a comparison between Lin Shaojie and James? When did Durant get involved again?

"Although Kevin (Durant) is very good, I think Lynn was even better in his rookie season."

Seeing this comment, the unknown user was just about to retaliate when he noticed that the spokesperson was actually...

"Kobe, is it really you?"

"Wow, I actually saw Kobe Bryant here with O'Neal. My youth is back."

"What's so strange about this? Their relationship has always been good, but it was just maliciously hyped by the media."

After seeing the fate of Kobe's personal account, the guy who still wanted to comment disappeared, and no one noticed him at all.

A group of fans also began to discuss Kobe. This veteran who just finished playing the game actually spoke on Twitter. How leisurely!

O'Neal, who saw Kobe Bryant online, replied.

"Kobe, your tactics are not good. Oh my god, you actually lost to the Clippers. From the regular season to now, you have lost three games in a row. If this continues, do you still want to enter the playoffs? Do you still want to

Are you going to follow the same old path of fighting to the end?"

"Don't point fingers at our tactics, we are still in the running-in period."

Kobe replied stiffly.

"Okay, you continue to run in. I have never seen the tactics from the preseason to the present. Look at the Pacers' No. 13. He is just a rookie, but he has sorted out the Pacers in order. Why don't you

How about using Steve (Nash)’s abilities instead of insisting on bullshit Princeton tactics? You’re not the type to play that kind of thing.”

"I told you not to dictate our tactics."

"Okay, you're a talkative king. I know there are some things you won't say, so I won't say them either. I'm going to commentate on Lynn's game. That's much more interesting than watching yours. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Shaquille, we are done with the game and I want to take a break. I will also watch Lynn's game, but in front of the TV. Don't forget that he is still the guy I recommended to you."

The brief interaction between O'Neal and Kobe attracted the attention of a group of fans, and many people realized that their idol had known a player named "Lynn" for a long time.

It should be a mediocre game for the Pacers, or except for Chinese people, other fans will be attracted to games like the Heat.

But obviously, the Pacers' game against the Kings at home received greater traffic before the game.

This is quite a rare thing.

After all, the Pacers are a "civilian team", and the Kings are not a "super giant" or even "top" team, especially the latter, which has lost consecutive games since the start of the season, exactly the same as the Lakers' record.

The Kings do not have any very attractive stars, let alone compared with the yellow giant Lakers, they do not have the potential to attract players.

Compared with Lin Shaojie, who is relatively dull in the beautiful country and is only relatively popular in Indiana, China is extremely fond of Lin Shaojie.

After Little Giant retired and SpaceX returned home, the only remaining actor, Lin Shaojie, became the darling of the media.

Even the fans who were optimistic about Lin Shaojie never thought that in the two games after the start of the regular season, Lin Shaojie played so well as a substitute and a starter.

Although the score is not the highest in the team, for many fans who follow Lin Shaojie, being able to score the highest assist data in the team proves his qualifications as a point guard.

And he has scored double-doubles in two consecutive games. In the inconspicuous corners such as rebounds and steals, he has also scored good statistics for the Pacers. In some items such as steals, he still ranks first in the team.

According to Zhang Weiping, if a coach like Lin has achieved such an achievement in the rookie game, as long as he is not affected by injuries, he will at least be in the ranks of superstars. If the current situation continues, it will be easy to win any Rookie of the Year award this year.

He has to strive for the first and second formations rather than loose things.

Not to mention, although Zhang Weiping is suspected of exaggerating, after all, he is a "Lin blower". Everyone knows this, but judging from the team's record - complete victory, personal data - two consecutive double-doubles, Lin Shaojie is here

The two games were really impressive, a standout show.

So before the Pacers' home game against the Kings started, I don't know how many fans moved small benches and sat in front of the TV.

No one watched any other Rockets, 75-man, or Heat games.

Harden landed on the Rockets and formed the "Harlem" combination with Lin Madness, but does this have anything to do with us?

Lin Crazy was indeed one of the top Chinese players before Lin Shaojie entered the NBA. Especially his crazy performance at the beginning of the year, I don’t know how many people were fascinated by it.

But what about now?

Who cares about a Chinese? What we want is a Chinese with a good foundation and a strong foundation. He can understand what we say and we can understand what he says. There is no cultural barrier between the Chinese and the Chinese.

Therefore, the Pacers have become the home team of China since Lin Shaojie landed in Indiana.

After so many years, a guard player who has become a main force in the NBA and leads the team with his strength has made these fans look forward to it! Now they can't wait to focus on Lin Shaojie.

What is this? This is for holding back!

Don't tell me that basketball is a black sport, even though it was said by Larry Bird, and he also said something that sounds sad - we are just adapting to them (blacks).

Do you think this is what people say?

During the years when Larry Bird was all-powerful, except for magicians, no one could live without looking at his face.

You, an old white guy who can't jump high or run fast, defeated a group of old black guys who can jump and jump. Only the devil will believe you.

So, since black people can succeed and white people can succeed, we yellow people can also succeed.

Our country, China, has stood tall in the world from ancient times to the present, relying on the need to compete with the strongest in the world in everything and strive to be the king of heaven.

We compete with each other economically, we compete with science and technology, and we compete with sports and culture. We don’t want to lag behind others in any way.

It doesn't matter if we fall behind. If we find the problem, we can catch up one day if we hurry up and slow down. All we have to do is move forward.

As long as we achieve our expectations one day, I'm sorry, our goal is that those who follow us will prosper and those who go against us will perish. No, everyone will coexist peacefully and develop together. We will never do anything. As long as I do it, you will have no way to survive. Go

Dead things.

We are a peaceful nation and will never rob other people's finances. Our total territory is more than nine million square kilometers. These are all the properties left by our ancestors. If we were not thrown away by many unfilial descendants later, we would be

His property is estimated to be even richer.

Of course, we have to ask our ancestors where they came from. Anyway, we are peace-loving.

Ever since, after watching the familiar face appear on the TV screen, and then seeing Zhang Weiping holding the starting list with a smile on his face, everyone knew that it was safe.

"Coach Lin is still an unbeatable starter. Through the first two games, we already know that the most suitable person to take charge of the Pacers is Coach Lin. The Pacers with him are completely different from the Pacers without him."

Yang Yi was silent as he listened to Zhang Weiping's words. Although most of them were true, you have to break your bones to listen to Zhang Weiping's comments about Lin Shaojie, otherwise it would be too exaggerated.

Although the reality seems so magical and unrealistic.

Look at the current 12 rookies, none of them are on the right track, they are all groping with their eyes closed or half-opened.

Only Lin Shaojie, the only one there, opened his eyes wide and strode forward.

The "wind and snow" rolled up by those "few steps" became more and more enchanting.

"The Pacers' starting number one is coached by Lin, with shooting guard George Hill, small forward Paul George, power forward David West, and center Roy Hibbert;

On the Kings side, Isiah Thomas...Cousins, Jason Thompson..."

Yang Yi's introduction was also quite interesting. The Pacers made it very clear, while the Kings were just a little over the top. Zhang Weiping also thought it was normal. What everyone wanted to see was the Pacers. Except for teams like the Lakers or Heat, other teams

Fans don’t care so much about who the opponent is.

So Zhang Weiping took over and said.

"Seeing this starter, especially the center Hibbert, from the news returned by our frontline reporter, since Coach Lin helped him out, Hibbert, a veteran player, has become Coach Lin's die-hard brother.

, I believe everyone has noticed in these two games that he has food to eat with Coach Lin, and several opportunities are forcibly created and given to him by Coach Lin.

We Chinese people are very particular about reciprocating a favor in return. If someone respects me, I will respect him a foot.

Let's look at Paul George. Any fan who knows something about the Pacers knows that he is Danny Granger's core supporter and is at least the third or fourth player on the team.

But we can also see from these two games that he is a talented player who understands the current situation. When Granger was injured, he knew how to size up the situation, recognize the reality, and follow the pace of Lin's guidance, so everyone can play in the top five

Ball, among the top ten, many of his dunks were passed to him by Coach Lin, which shows that the two have a good relationship;

West, the veteran player, is also very interesting. He is a senior, but from the beginning he never wanted to usurp Granger's position as the boss in the locker room. He showed no mercy at critical moments. We thought that after Granger came off the field, he would

He will take on the important task of being the boss of the locker room, but it is obvious that he does not want to be the one who stands out...

Needless to say, George Hill admired Coach Lin very much before he joined the team. After Coach Lin joined the team, he took the initiative to give up the point guard position...

Several times throughout the team, the person most suitable to be the boss of the locker room is actually our coach Lin. If this is true, I think this is the fastest time for a rookie to rise to the top, faster than LeBron James became the boss of the Cavaliers.

"

"Okay, the game begins..."

Just when Zhang Weiping was enjoying himself with the audience, Yang Yi interrupted in a very disappointed tone.

I talk about some useless things all day long. Is it better to just listen? Or is it better to continue listening?

You were clearly promised to be a technical anchor, but just because you became Lin Chui, now everyone wants to see if Coach Lin has become the boss of the locker room. Is this what we want to see?

The fans said in unison: "This is what we want to see!"

Yang Yi himself wants to see it, but he is not sure about it!

If word spreads about his self-entertainment and things don't come true, Director Lin will have to act as a bag-carrying boy. That would be embarrassing.

However, it seems that a reporter was inside the Pacers and saw someone else carrying a bag for Coach Lin, and he didn’t know whether it was true or not.

"Oh, the game has started!"

O'Neal, who once again forced himself to commentate on the Pacers' game, arrived as scheduled. His appearance was perfect for the TV station. His partner was Barkley, and the relationship between the two has improved.

The Pacers face the Kings at home, and you can tell who is the most popular from the cheers of the fans when they come out.

The audience's love for the new and dislike of the old was vividly displayed.

Lin Shaojie, a die-hard Pacers player, was shouted out by the fans at the highest decibel level. Players who played before and after him did not make such a loud noise.

As a former darling, Paul George even felt a little emotional at that moment, but Lin Shaojie, who was insightful, hugged the tall man affectionately during the team's "show" and sent several passes during the warm-up to keep him on the court.

Go on the show and receive cheers from the audience.

For the current Pacers fans, they also want Conseco Arena to become a city of alley-oops. In the past, when they played in the air, they were always in away games. As home fans, they also want to enjoy this benefit.

Looking at No. 13 Lin Shaojie, he really understands the fans' thoughts. During the warm-up, he sent several passes to Paul George, allowing him to show off his physical fitness.

Of course, Lin Shaojie did not favor one over the other. Roy Hibbert, who had already half-acknowledged that he was the boss, was also favored by Lin Shaojie. Several domineering dunks also attracted cheers from the fans.

On the other side, the Kings' Cousins ​​was full of disdain. If Paul George's dunk was still impressive, then Hibbert's dunk was too boring. The most important thing is that Hibbert, who is so tall, was in front of him.

I don't dare to say a single nonsense about Pekovic.

The battle with Pekovic not only made Lin Shaojie famous, but also made Hibbert's reputation as a "softie" spread like wildfire among the players, although many players also did not dare to offend Pekovic.

, but this does not stop them from looking down on Hibbert.

At least in Cousins' eyes, there is no player he dares not offend.

When the game started, the steady Lin Shaojie showed in front of the home fans why his efficiency value is so high.

Any fan can see that under his leadership, the Pacers' offense is very orderly and methodical, without giving people a messy feeling.

The Pacers' offense and defense were very solid.

But the score on the field did not widen the gap.

As Lin Shaojie in possession of the ball, in the eyes of head coach Frank, he executed his tactics perfectly.

Of course, in the prearranged tactics, Lin Shaojie's personal scoring ability was not used.

In the tactics of the NBA, personal ability is closely related to the team's tactical level, but when to implement what tactics depends on the coach's arrangements, but the coach will often consider the core situation of the team.

Some head coaches with more seniority or tough personalities often don't consider this and only require players to strictly implement a certain link in the tactics.

If the unruly players can't stand it, they will break up with the head coach. There are too many such things.

75 people?

Frank happens not to be such a coach. He has a really good personality and pays more attention to defense. With a player like Lin Shaojie who is not stingy about his defense and can meet his ear requirements when attacking, Frank is very satisfied.

Lin Shaojie's relative freedom in attacking also exposed the "competition" issue between him and Granger earlier.

When Lin Shaojie and Granger compete for the status in the locker room, they are actually competing for the tactical status on the court. Who is the initiator of tactics and the executor of key goals.

Before Lin Shaojie joined the team, Granger was the absolute core and had the absolute right to the ball. Apart from him, David West had the right to execute the key ball second only to him.

One is the boss of the team, and the other is an experienced and trustworthy veteran. The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that of Kobe and Fisher, but David plays a greater role than Fisher. During the regular season, West has

The ability to independently lead a team to victory.

Facing the visiting king, especially the latter who lost two games in a row.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Kings to defeat the Pacers, but no one expected that they could only hope to draft and train new players in the team, and the Kings actually unearthed a gem.

Their team's starting center, DeMarcus Cousins, who is 2.11 meters tall, actually exploded in this game.

If you only look at talent, this player is really very strong. His height, wingspan, speed and strength are all top-notch.

The ability shown on the court is also unique. Except for him, the other players in the Kings are completely different from him.

The Pacers, who dominated the front line, faced the weak Kings. They were beaten by Cousins ​​in the paint, and Roy Hibbert, who faced him, was completely suppressed.

In the first quarter of the game, from scoring to rebounding, Hibbert seemed to be unable to play basketball for a moment.

0 points, 0 rebounds. If Lin Shaojie hadn't made timely adjustments and launched an attack from Paul George and David West, the Pacers at home would have been defeated after the first quarter.

"Damn it, Coach Lin's little brother is not good. So far in this quarter, his points and rebounds are zero? This is Gao Yuanyuan!"

When Zhang Weiping said the word "Gao Yuanyuan" again, I don't know if Roy Hibbert was happy to mention this nickname. He also has a nickname.

Lin Shaojie, who was substituted at the end of the first quarter, looked dejected as Hibbert was also substituted.

On the opposite side, the arrogant Cousins ​​suffered the same fate.

The Pacers players looked at Hibbert intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter covered his face with a towel. This quarter was so embarrassing.

"Roy, Roy, are you asleep?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Hibbert had to take off his towel.

"That kid is fine. Do you think he dares to use force with you on the court?"

Lin Shaojie encouraged Hibbert. He wanted to be the boss in the locker room. If he didn't dare to yell at his teammates, it would definitely not be qualified. However, Lin Shaojie believed that it was something that should only be done in an emergency. Now that he is free, he could have a good talk.

, give each other a face.

"You went out yesterday? Right?"

Lin Shaojie's words made Hibbert blush slightly.

"It's with Paul, right?"

Hibbert heard this and lowered his head.

He went out with Paul George, and it was very exciting. In the end, the guy was full of energy on the court, and he wilted. What the hell was going on.

What's more, being discovered by Lin Shaojie, the boss, Hibbert felt that he had lost all face.

"After you come back on the field, you don't have to think about scoring. Your only task is to use all the fouls on Cousins ​​while you still have the strength. Do you understand?"

The players around him were stunned when they heard this. Is this still the No. 13 rookie with a kind face?

No matter how soft Hibbert is, he is still a guy over seven feet tall.

Is this really okay with you?

"You have to prove yourself. Even if you are not in good condition, you are not someone to be trifled with. Your purpose today is just one. When you come back on the court, prove your ability. Your opponents will not want to take anything away from you.

"

After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, the guy smiled and flattered the head coach Frank.

"Mr. Coach, what do you think of my handling? Roy is not in good condition today. If so, it is better to let him off the field early."

Frank thought for a moment and glanced at the assistant coach Brian beside him. The two of them glanced at Hibbert at the same time.

"I promise I won't end the game early. Lynn just wants to stimulate me. I will try my best to defend that guy and prevent him from scoring in the paint."

Cousins ​​had already left the game, but Thornton, who came on as his substitute at the end of the first quarter, exploded.

There will always be some guys in the NBA. You don't know when they will become great. Those who can maintain this state will become superstars sooner or later. But occasionally, those who have a flash of inspiration will become shooting stars. If they can become the best sixth man, they will be great.

But in the second quarter, Thornton took advantage of the Pacers' main team to take a break and played to a super level.

Orlando Johnson and George Hill, who came on as substitutes for Lin Shaojie, were also beaten.

The Pacers are like stocks in a bear market, one after another.

With a score of 15 to 2, Frank quickly called a timeout, and Lin Shaojie, who turned around, was replaced.

"Lynn should have been replaced a long time ago. The Pacers played like shit without him!"

O'Neill said a little unhappy.

"What about Roy? He was like a clown in the first quarter, trembling under DeMarcus (Cousins)'s crotch. He is a seven-footer, facing a player who is not as tall as him.

cowardice."

When Lin Shaojie came on the court, Thornton actually hit 31 when facing George Hill on the outside.

He raised his score to 16 points in a short period of time. From the time he came out in the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, he was scoring almost every minute on average.

"George, let me defend him!"

Lin Shaojie took the initiative to say it after coming on the court, and George Hill nodded.

It's obvious that the person opposite is just a substitute, a substitute for the Kings. It's so embarrassing that he, the core of the Pacers, is suppressed like this.

"Hi, rookie, I heard that you are the 'Mr. Fifty Million Dollars.' Are you worth it?"

Thornton, who also took the initiative to switch defense, rushed over aggressively, facing Lin Shaojie with full disdain.

How much money does he make as a substitute per year? In addition, his status in the team is so different from that of Lin Shaojie. That kind of jealousy will always appear on the top of his mind, popping up from time to time.

"Who are you?"

Lin Shaojie asked back, watching his teammates move on the court.

"Phew, Thornton seems to be provoking Lynn, my favorite part is here."

O'Neill said excitedly.

"I don't think anyone wants to pay attention to the results of the game now. You want to know what they are saying, right? Please ask our lip readers to interpret it as soon as possible. I think this is a very interesting thing."

O'Neal didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and the TV station also tried its best to cooperate. Barkley on the side even raised his hands in approval.

"I am Thornton, Marcus Thornton, the man who defeated George Hill. Do you know?"

Thornton, who spread his hands as hard as he could, said in a show off that his height of six feet four inches was exactly the same as Lin Shaojie's height of 1.93 meters.

But when the two of them stood together, it was obvious that Lin Shaojie was slightly taller.

It seems that he has lied about his height.

As a second-round pick in 2009, he was drafted by the Heat and then traded to the Hornets, and then to the current Kings.

To be honest, Thornton's days with the Kings were pretty good, but he was mistrusted by the head coach in the Hornets, which resulted in him rarely having a chance to play during that period. Instead, he came to the Kings because of injuries to the team's main players.

, he gradually obtained his own position by relying on his own ability.

This is a quite inspiring story, but compared with the lucky guy "Lynn", a guy like him who works hard seems a bit insignificant.

The guy on the opposite side has the potential to be the Rookie of the Year in just two games, thanks to O'Neal's bragging.

What does this make other players think?

But Lin Shaojie's answer made Thornton furious again, especially since the other party didn't seem to hear clearly and made a gesture of picking out his ears, which completely angered Thornton.

"What did you say? Who are you?"

"Fuck, you're done."

Thornton rushed out, but it was obvious that with his speed, there was no way he could steal the ball from Lin Shaojie, let alone such a big move in anger.

"Oh, I heard it. Linn once again ignored Thornton's self-introduction. Haha, Linn is a master of emotional control. He angered Thornton."

O'Neill said with a smile.

"A very reckless steal. Compared with Lynn's elegance, Thornton is too vulgar."

Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball with his hips without any trace, without even completing the complete step. Thornton overshot the ball due to his own recklessness.

Even after Thornton rushed over, Lin Shaojie tilted his head slightly and smiled, as if to say hello.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Without the annoying fly, Lin Shaojie slowly increased his speed, and the score on the court was not too friendly to the Pacers.

Relying on Cousins ​​​​and Thornton's explosion, the Kings led 52 to 35 by 17 points.

As Lin Shaojie advanced from the midline, Paul also wanted to help with the pick-and-roll to create long-range shooting opportunities for the opponent, but Lin Shaojie stopped him.

Just when the king thought Lin Shaojie would come by himself, Lin Shaojie flicked his wrist, and Thornton, who was trying to steal the ball for the second time from behind, missed the opportunity again and still passed Lin Shaojie's body.

What about basketball?

It had already flown to the free throw line in the hands of David West, who took the opportunity to take off and made a very standard mid-range shot.

But it's a pity that the Pacers lacked some luck today.

Under the basket, Cousins ​​squeezed Hibbert away and tried to grab the board.

But Hibbert didn't know where the courage came from, and he jumped up next to the opponent.

As a last resort, Cousins ​​could only light up the basketball again, trying to win the rebound with his own speed.

"Get out of the way!"

A scolding sounded behind Hibbert, and he subconsciously dodged away.

Cousins, who was about to get the rebound, was dismissive. How could this fragile-minded guy dare to face LeBron James head-on?

But what happened to that sound?

Seeing that the basketball was about to come into his hands, Cousins ​​was even ready to land to protect the ball. He wanted to use his huge steps to leave himself plenty of space and waving elbows to keep those players away from him.

point.

But everything came to an abrupt end when the black shadow fell on his head.

"Who is it?"

"boom!"

Under the light-colored jersey of the Pacers, No. 13 was like a god descending from the earth and completely suppressing Cousins ​​​​under him. He is a center that takes off twice. He has not fully exerted his strength. How can he compete with Lin Shaojie who has gained sufficient space?

Compare.

Cousins ​​only felt a huge force coming from him. He could no longer block it and staggered to the ground.

"Fuck, so hard?"

Looking at the violently shaking camera, everyone knew that No. 13's dunk looked like he was going to smash the rim, but judging from the current quality, no player should be able to do it.

"Lynn is so fierce. Can you imagine him being a point guard? There is at least a 30 kilogram weight difference between him and Cousins. Oh my God, he is so fierce.

During our interview, he kept saying that he was a representative of technical stream and floor stream, but I believed you."

O'Neill said with a smile.

Zhang Weiping, who was far away in Yangma's studio, also clenched his fists excitedly.

"A goal, a rebound, just this moment, Coach Lin let the King know why he can get 50 million US dollars from Nike as an endorsement. With this kind of physical fitness, not to mention our country, even in the NBA

They are top-notch, there is a full thirty kilogram difference between the two of them!"

Fans watched the slow motion replay on TV. The moment he took off was absolutely elegant. Lin Shaojie suddenly took off inside the free throw line as if he only knew where the basketball would land. He didn't care about West next to him.

Cousins ​​and Hibbert under the basket were almost out of his sight at that moment.

What's more, Lin Shaojie also reminded Hibbert that if the latter didn't have a tacit understanding, then he would have deserved to be detained together.

But the dunk was very fast.

Of course, this shot also means to take advantage of others, one is going all out, and the other is trying his best.

Cousins ​​got up dizzy, heard the cheers from the audience, and then looked at the scene on the big screen to realize what had happened before.

"Am I being detained?"

Cousins ​​didn't believe it and after repeated confirmation, he wanted to find trouble with Lin Shaojie, but David West stood in front of him.

"DeMarcus, manage your emotions."

"Don't care about your little girl, that guy dunked me."

The angry Cousins ​​wanted to argue with Lin Shaojie, but before he could curse and curse, he was pulled away by his teammates, and the referee even gave the king a big gift.

Cousins ​​received a technical foul.

"Are you blind? I just wanted to talk to him, I didn't do anything, why should you... ugh!"

Cousins ​​was very angry when his teammates covered his mouth, but looking at the referee's eyes, he had to endure it.

The king was forced to pause.

In the subsequent game, Lin Shaojie was a little dazed when he made several fast breaks, but he also gave his opponent a wave of 12-2.

Cousins ​​was not replaced until the start of the third quarter.

"Boy No. 13, I remember you, don't try to score on me."

"And me, Thornton."

Thornton said proudly as he followed Cousins.

"who?"

Lin Shaojie asked again, and Thornton wanted to hit someone.

In the third quarter of the game, under Lin Shaojie's supervision, the Pacers and Kings played back and forth. Thornton, who had performed well before, could not find the feeling of shooting smoothly. Although he had scored a team-high 19 points,

But the Kings were still ten points behind.

The Pacers team performed very steadily, with several players scoring in double figures. On the contrary, for the Kings, most of the scoring came from Thornton and Cousins.

When the fourth quarter began and Lin Shaojie took a break, Thornton once again found a smooth offense. He finally knew why he couldn't open the offense. It was all because of No. 13 off the court.

"You see, this is Lynn's role in the Pacers. His defense on the outside is really strong. George (Hill) can't replace him at all. His defense can't restrict Thornton at all."

Seeing the Kings narrowing the point difference and taking the lead, Paul and West scored one after another and finally widened the point difference, but soon the Pacers fell into a scoring drought again.

"If Granger is on the court, his personal scoring ability can really help the team."

O'Neal is making comments.

"Paul (George) is still a little immature and needs some time."

"Isn't Lynn immature? He has even less experience."

"No, this is different!"

After hearing Barkley's words, O'Neal waved his hands repeatedly.

"Players like Lynn are a special case. He is like a player like Paul or Chris Paul. He has a very mature mentality. Such players gain experience very quickly. They are a special kind."

"But in my impression, Lynn is not a point guard like Paul. On the contrary, he is a Kidd who can attack."

With some nostalgia, Buckley said.

"That's really awesome, a Kidd who can attack. Oh my god, is that a magician alive?"

O'Neill was equally surprised.

Frank on the sidelines could no longer bear it. Although Paul George performed well today, he failed to score several key goals, allowing the Kings to take the lead. His scoring ability at critical moments was far worse than Granger's.

"Lynn, come on!"

After hearing the command, Li Shaojie was ready to go on the court again. In that moment, Thornton on the opposite side actually hit 31 on George Hill again. His performance in this game was worse than Hibbert.

"Oh my gosh, the Pacers are in some danger, they're ten points behind!"

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Lin Shaojie faced such a situation when he came on the court. It seemed to be a bit difficult.

"Did you go out with Paul last night too?"

Lin Shaojie was joking, but George Hill didn't understand. He just raised his hand and said, "My fault, that kid is a little slippery and I couldn't guard him."

Looking at Thornton who had already scored 26 points on the opposite side, Lin Shaojie took over the basketball.

"Then let him stop scoring!"

Lin Shaojie's relaxed tone made George Hill feel better.

Paul George was not far away, and his eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he repeatedly emphasized how good and diligent his defense was, Lin Shaojie was recognized as the number one perimeter player in the team, regardless of offense or defense.

Or pass the ball.

This is all done in intra-team games.

Lin Shaojie earnestly dribbled the ball past half-court. Thornton was confident at this time. After all, it was the highest score in the game.

"How many points did you get?"

Lin Shaojie looked at Thornton who was approaching him and asked.

"I?"

Thornton asked in confusion, looked at No. 13 opposite and nodded, and then replied proudly: "Rookie, I have already scored 26 points. You haven't scored more than 20 points so far, right?"

"What about me? How many points exactly?"

"How do I know, but you can never score from me again."

Thornton tried his best to block it, this time he was on guard against the opponent's breakthrough.

But Lin Shaojie glanced at Thornton, who was one step away from him, and then looked at the scoreboard.

"We are only ten points behind, but we still have a chance!"

Lin Shaojie, who suddenly took off, did not give the opponent any chance at all. Lin Shaojie, who turned on the goal switch, responded to the Kings with a three-pointer.

"Whoosh!"

"Good shot, Thornton didn't have time to defend!"

O'Neill said with a smile.

"Seven points, the score difference has come to seven points."

When the Kings attacked, this time Cousins ​​did not take the lead. Instead, he passed the ball to Thompson, who responded with a mid-range shot.

"Oh, the point difference is back to 9 points!"

Lin Shaojie, who received a pass from his teammate, quickly took the lead across the half, just one step outside the three-point line. At this time, the Pacers players had not yet completed their position, and Thornton followed closely in front of Lin Shaojie.

"Rookie, if you have the ability, try another one."

"OK!"

After saying that, Lin Shaojie, who was more than one step away from the three-point line, fired from a long range again.

"Oh my god! You are so confident, Linn doesn't even wait for his teammates!"

"Whoosh!"

With O'Neal's scream, Lin Shaojie's long-range shooting once again made great achievements.

Brian, who was off the court, said to Frank in surprise: "Frank, is this okay? That kid didn't follow the tactics at all."

"There is no perfect tactic in the world. When you encounter some magical players, rigid tactics will not work at all."

After Frank finished speaking, he said hurriedly: "Isn't this happening again?"

"What?"

Lin Shaojie, who made a three-pointer on the court, did not high-five his teammates at all. The frustrated Thornton even forgot what Lin Shaojie was best at doing, which was stealing the serve in the opponent's half.

The moment he caught the ball, Lin Shaojie rushed past him like a gust of wind. His teammates exclaimed "Be careful!" before it was too late for Lin Shaojie to complete the steal.

It was completely impossible for Thornton to keep up.

Lin Shaojie stole the ball from the left to the right, stepped outside the three-point line and shot again.

"Then why didn't that kid just deduct one?"

Barkley watched with his own eyes as Lin Shaojie passed by in the deserted paint area, not wanting to get two points.

"Because he just wants to score one more point."

Lin Shaojie, who was full of confidence, stepped a foot away from the three-point line, and then used a very quick shooting action to score another three points.

The offense and defense were changing positions. When Thornton was unable to break through, he gave Lin Shaojie another steal. The latter quickly counterattacked without any sense of being played by others. He broke through the Kings' three-point line and came up with another shot.

Very smooth.

"Whoosh!"

"Oh my god, four consecutive three-pointers, is this the arrival of Miller?"

O'Neill exclaimed!

After completing the shot, Lin Shaojie faced the cheers of his teammates and the audience. He stretched out his index and middle fingers, first pointing to his own eyes, and then to the audience.

Wherever you point your finger, the audience's voices rise like ocean waves.

"I'm so excited. Coach Lin's iconic personal moves have risen in the NBA. We have seen this gesture in the Olympics, and now it will leave his personal mark in the NBA."

In the Conseco Arena, I don’t know how many people were excited because of Lin Shaojie’s actions or his consecutive three-pointers.

The original ten-to-nine-point gap disappeared instantly with these two three-pointers.

This reminded them of the flag flying above the arena. There was once a person who used a three-pointer to corner the God of Basketball.

The attempt to kill gods still ended in failure, but Lin Shaojie's consecutive three-pointers have awakened everyone's memory.

When Thornton once again showed a flaw in Lin Shaojie's defense, Lin Shaojie, who seemed to have expected all this, successfully stole the ball again.

Cousins ​​had to retreat after his useless effort. When he saw that figure once again take off one step away from the three-point line, Cousins ​​didn't know what he was thinking and bumped into him.

"careful!"

"bump!"

"Whoosh!"

The basketball still accurately entered the frame. This was the fifth three-pointer. The consecutive three-pointers completely smoothed the difference between the two sides and took the lead.

But the fans' attention has long been on the No. 13 rookie. Today is only his first game at home during the regular season.

But this young rookie from China suddenly caught the attention of all fans.

Although he was a guy wearing a transparent mask and did not dare to show his "true face" to others, he was still loved by everyone.

"Did Cousins ​​want to kill someone?"

O'Neal exclaimed: "I hope nothing happens to Lynn."

Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, had no defensive measures at all and could only be passively knocked down from behind by Cousins.

The weight difference between the two people is almost 30 kilograms, which is not the same magnitude at all.

"Lynn, are you okay?"

Although he took protective actions, Lin Shaojie still felt some discomfort in his legs. When he stood up, Lin Shaojie stood up carefully with the help of Paul George.

"It's okay, it's a bruise, just rest for a while!"

Lin Shaojie was replaced by Frank, and the team doctor quickly performed a rough examination on Lin Shaojie.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Frank would rather lose the game than get Lin Shaojie injured.

As for Cousins ​​on the court, he was also ejected after receiving his second technical foul.

The game between the Pacers and the Kings was actually tied within four quarters.

Both sides go to overtime.

"I think I'm fine and can go out."

Lin Shaojie jumped to prove that he was fine. After coach Frank confirmed again, he nodded.

"If you feel any discomfort, I hope you can tell me."

"The team doctor has already said it's fine."

Lin Shaojie replied affirmatively and took off the ice pack on his leg.

Seeing Lin Shaojie about to play in overtime, the fans cheered.

"It hurt a lot, but Lynn is a real man."

O'Neal exaggerated: "Without Cousins, I think with Lynn's touch, the game is over. No one in the Kings can guard him. That kid just played like crazy. Did you know that he played like crazy? Five consecutive games."

Three points.”

Lin Shaojie, who returned to play, did not receive any tactical instructions from Frank. The master and apprentice had a tacit understanding, and the limited time left was left to Lin En.

"Shaojie Lin held the ball, wow, the Kings double-teamed him, and Thornton and Thomas came to defend him."

Faced with a double team, Lin Shaojie deceived the two of them with a prayer gesture. However, after Lin Shaojie's gesture of worshiping Buddha passed the two of them, his one-step shot inside the three-point line did not make any difference.

"It's a pity that Lynn's injury affected his hand...Roy (Hibbert) grabbed a key offensive rebound."

Roy made up for it and won the precious rebound. His eyes only looked at No. 13 Lin Shaojie.

Sensing the opponent's intention, Lin Shaojie went straight inside and almost caught the opponent's pass. Lin Shaojie jumped high in the last step. At this time, no one in the Kings team dared to stop this guy who dunked on Cousins' head.

"boom!"

"Whoosh!"

A round, almost straight up and down dunk hit the rim hard.

After landing, Lin Shaojie behaved like a gentleman. He picked up the bouncing basketball, placed it gently on the sideline, and then stepped back.

The whole audience cheered.

"Do you think we still care about winning or losing when we have players like this?"

Frank's eyes lit up as he looked at it. Lin Shaojie on the court didn't need to shout or roar to command his teammates. A gesture or an action was enough.

The Pacers players came up one by one to touch Lin Shaojie's hair, not afraid of losing his hair.

"I think the game is over."

Barkley said thoughtfully: "The Pacers' performance was too steady, no, Lynn's performance was too steady. I have seen too many players beating their chests and roaring after dunking. This is the first time I have seen Lynn like this."

Once seen.”

"Don't say it's you, it's me too!"

O'Neal raised his arms and expressed.

In overtime, the Kings lacked their core inside line and could only attack from the outside. However, Thornton, who had scored 26 points in the previous game, had not scored a single point so far.

If we evaluate based on the plus/minus when Thornton and Lin Shaojie faced off, Thornton would definitely be unqualified.

Even Thornton, who had some doubts in his heart, had to be careful when holding the ball, for fear that Lin Shaojie would come out from any corner.

It was this kind of worry about gains and losses that gave Lin Shaojie a chance. Although the steal did not happen to Thornton, the nervousness during the pass caused Isiah Thomas to have trouble catching the ball. Lin Shaojie, who saw the right opportunity, jumped out instantly.

.

"In the steal, Thornton's pass was too big. Lynn saw the flaw and Thomas didn't catch it securely."

O'Neill said excitedly.

"Next, please tune in to see All-Star level dunks or three-point contest performances."

O'Neal joked that under normal circumstances, Lin Shaojie should mainly finish with a safe two-pointer, whether it is a dunk or a layup.

But after the steal, Lin Shaojie moved forward quickly. Each of the Kings players wanted to station themselves inside and outside the three-point line as soon as possible, for fear that Lin Shaojie would successfully raid again.

But what no one expected was that just after passing the center circle, facing no one to defend him, Lin Shaojie stepped outside the center circle and directly took off to shoot.

"Is that kid crazy?"

Thornton wondered, with that guy's offensive ability, is it necessary?

He can definitely get closer!

The basketball seemed to have been flying for a century. Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Shaojie turned around slowly and raised his hands with his back to the basket with a calm expression.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball fell into the hoop with his calm expression.

The Pacers scored three more points.

The excited players and fans at the scene were in sharp contrast to the calmness on Lin Shaojie's face.

In overtime, the Pacers led the Kings 5-0.

At that moment, Lin Shaojie acted more like a "king" than a king!

The loser Lance Stephenson on the bench even held a towel and knelt down with his hands facing Lin Shaojie.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

O'Neal, who shouted three times in a row, covered his chest like a heart attack patient.

"This is Lynn. He knew the result before the ball even entered the frame. This is definitely the best goal today. I promise, my heart can't stand this scene anymore. If possible, I hope Lynn

If I can get that basketball and sign it, the big sharks are waiting here, and I’m willing to pay $10,000 to get that basketball.”

O'Neal's exaggerated performance did not disgust the fans. On the contrary, they were just like O'Neal.

"Fuck, I let you pretend again!"

On domestic Weibo, under Lin Shaojie's account, the number of comments in an orderly manner exceeded 10,000 in just half an hour. Fans who saw Lin Shaojie's goal were not stingy with their words of praise.

Even several celebrities from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who like basketball have said that they will go to the Pacers' home court to watch the game. Such Coach Lin is completely a yellow light, and they must watch the game live.

At the scene, Lance's arrogant behavior was just one of them. Roy, who was guilty of meritorious service, had already knelt on one knee in front of Lin En like a showman, hoping that Lin Shaojie would lift his noble foot.

"Get up, our game is not over yet."

Lin Shaojie touched Roy's head with his big hand.

Um!

This one doesn't feel very good, not as good as Paul's. That guy's hair is more suitable for rubbing.

The reporters looked at the famous scene of "being ordained" and pressed the shutter in their hands as if they were free of charge.

In the subsequent attack, Lin Shaojie showed his former nickname - "Devil Boy". Thornton seemed to be trapped in a quagmire and was completely locked up by Lin Shaojie.

How he showed off his power in front of George Hill before, now he feels so frustrated.

Completely guarded by Lin Shaojie's death entanglement, "My heart is in chaos!"

Isiah Thomas' presence has been even reduced. Without Cousins ​​on the inside, their offensive tactics cannot be used at all.

"Well, the game is over, the Kings lost to the Pacers in overtime."

O'Neal looked at the final score and pretended to throw out the microphone in his hand, which was boring.

"Faced with Lynn who was playing crazy, the Kings had no way to deal with him. The second goal in overtime completely defeated the Kings. The next few goals just consumed time.

Congratulations to Lynn, he scored a career-high 28 points, maybe we will see him score over 30 in the next game or next game."

After getting the data, O'Neal wanted to end the commentary, but when he looked at other data, O'Neal broke out.

"Fuck, what did I see?"
