My basketball vision is different

Chapter 144: The Locker Room Boss

Everyone can see Larry Bird's love for Lin Shaojie, not just the Pacers players, but even the audience can see it when watching TV.

When basketball legends such as Kobe Bryant and O'Neal expressed their opinions on the Pacers' No. 13 pick after the game, Lin Shaojie, the person involved, suddenly found that his circle of friends had expanded a lot.

A sense of déjà vu comes over me, as if I am poor in the busy city and have no one to care about, but I am rich in the mountains and have distant relatives.

The text message on the mobile phone was a congratulatory message from coach Xie Zhenghe. Lin Shaojie had a few words with the enlightenment coach on the phone.

Jiangnan University is about to start playing league games again this year, but the performance of the newcomers is obviously not as good as when Lin Shaojie was there. Some of the old players are not interested in this either. Jiangnan University fell instantly from last year's "championship" team.

Come down.

Jiangnan’s goal this year is very clear, which is to reach the regional finals. Of course, the process cannot be compared with last year, there are many more ups and downs.

"Teacher, I didn't let you get the championship medal of the major league. How about I fight for it later and give you the championship trophy of the NBA?"

Listening to the voice coming from far across the ocean, Xie Zhenghe on the court smiled.

"Then I'll make a lot of money, okay, remember what you said."

"Okay, when you are free, I will buy you a plane ticket and invite you to come to my game."

"You brat, do I still need you to buy a ticket for me? When you enter the playoffs, I will go to Indiana to watch your game."

"Then we have agreed that I will keep the home tickets for you and wait for you to come."

"Keep it, the major leagues will be almost over by then."

Lin Shaojie got out of the car after hanging up the phone.

In the afternoon, the riverside promenade is lined with tourists.

I still remember that during the trial training in San Antonio in the first half of this year, Lin Shaojie was accompanied by coach Xie Zhenghe and Lawrence.

What now?

"Is it coach Xie Zhenghe?"

Li Dacheng said, Lin Shaojie nodded.

"I haven't seen him for a long time. Coach Xie is still leading Jiangnan University this year."

After speaking, Li Dacheng said with emotion.

"Jiangnan University is completely different with you and without you. Last year, your opponents in the division were afraid of meeting Jiangnan University. This year, how many people want to avenge the past, and coach Xie Zhenghe will have a hard time."

"Don't worry, the more it is like this, it can also reflect the coaching level of a coach."

Lin Shaojie said with a relaxed attitude.

"Before I went to Jiangnan, they were already playing well. Even without me, they would not be in ruins. As long as Coach Xie is still willing, there is no problem in reaching the regional finals."

Zhang Dong on the side couldn't say anything. It was all about basketball. He really didn't know where to start.

I don’t know if Lin Shaojie was chatting enthusiastically with Li Dacheng, or if he was deliberately snubbing himself.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Dong thought so. When Li Dacheng was the matchmaker, Lin Shaojie took advantage of his reputation and got in touch with Zhang Dong, and finally recognized Zhang Yiming’s concept. Both parties performed very well in the initial investment.

The second time the financing company encountered trouble, Lin Shaojie spent most of his money. This was something both parties knew.

But what about the third time?

Lin Shaojie handed over the power to the original operation team. Without receiving any information in advance, the team reached a preliminary agreement for the third round of financing, and only informed Lin Shaojie when it was almost certain.

How do you make the latter feel?

Building trust is like firing a piece of exquisite porcelain. It is so tedious and difficult, but if you want to destroy it, it only takes one tap.

"Bang!"

It broke!

Zhang Dong followed the two of them, looking confused.

But Lin Shaojie in front of him didn't seem to notice it, and continued chatting with Li Dacheng.

Lin Shaojie can understand and understand the concerns of the founding team. After all, he, the major shareholder, holds a terrifying amount of shares. After the product is launched, the surging momentum of the entire company will easily attract the attention of investors.

At this time, the Byte Dance company was no longer uninterested. On the contrary, fund companies that wanted to invest in them were lining up, just like Lin Shaojie after the Olympics. How many people wanted to win his business contract.

I will help you when you are down, and when you are prosperous, you want to make peace with me?

How is this behavior different from that of a scumbag?

You think that this person is just a little athlete who has not graduated from college and does not understand business logic. In the end, he did not even show up, but a large-scale business team came to complete a series of inspections and rectifications.

With a public-to-public attitude, unless the company is shut down, Lin Shaojie is the largest shareholder of the entire company, and you don't even have room to make a comeback.

Looking at the company that is now prospering, no one is willing to let go.

So this time Zhang Dong came to the beautiful country to reminisce about old friendship, he felt that his face was dull. Fortunately, when he arrived at the dining place, when Lin Shaojie invited him to take a seat, he gave people a feeling of spring breeze, as if he didn't care much about the past.

.

At the dinner table, Zhang Dong briefly talked about the company's situation and emailed the details to Lin Shaojie. He was still worried that Lin Shaojie was busy with the competition and would not have time to read the email.

In fact, everyone understood that it would appear more sincere if he came to the door in person.

"I know that you are doing a good job, so I, a layman, will not interfere."

Lin Shaojie expressed his indifference and persuaded Zhang Dong to drink and eat.

It's not easy to find an authentic Chinese restaurant in San Antonio. Do as the locals do. The specialty beer and barbecue introduced by Parker are quite good. In addition, San Antonio's River Walk is quite unique. This is a good place to host.

"Lao Zhang, look at this, this is the top basketball player in our country. He is strict with himself at all times."

Li Dacheng got a little drunk after drinking some wine. They drank heavily and ate meat from large bowls. Then they looked at Lin Shaojie, who tasted the wine briefly but didn't touch the wine at all.

This is a private gathering, and no one will be strict with themselves.

"Don't look at people scoring more than 50 points against the Spurs. Not to mention our domestic players, no foreign players can do it."

Zhang Dong said arrogantly.

"I know even if I don't read the news, the domestic excitement is going to be crazy. If nothing else, I think Nike is thinking about extending the contract now. Our coach Lin is too domineering on the court."

As a media person who works in advertising, Zhang Dong may not know much about sports, but he is very familiar with advertising.

Lin Shaojie has caused big events one after another and is born with top-notch attributes.

In addition, Lin Shaojie is now famous overseas, and to some extent, it has even surpassed his own cognition.

It is like a business card of China to the outside world.

Tell me, how much is Lin Shaojie worth at this time?

Think about the Weibo spokesperson contract signed by Xin Lang. It seemed to cost a lot of money at first. After all, most other actors, singers and the like didn't spend any money, but Lin Shaojie, a student, spent millions.

Looking back now, this money is worth it.

After all the calculations, Lin Shaojie's contract is only three or two, and there are still many people in the country who want to have connections. Lin Shaojie's first coach, Xie Zhenghe, is trying to find an opening, and then win this popular fried chicken!

I heard they are all big contracts for mobile, telecommunications, petroleum and the like.

As for overseas, except for Jordan, owned by Nike, who won his personal sneaker endorsement contract, the large-scale contract of 50 million US dollars completely broke the upper limit for athletes.

By the end of the year, in various so-called awards and selections, Lin Shaojie will be able to get to the top of the list just by relying on this alone.

A little guy who was unknown half a year ago has become famous all over the world half a year later. Is there anything more magical than this?

But Zhang Dong knows that things more magical than this really exist.

After byte dance company completed the B-round financing, the value of the shares held by Lin Shaojie, as the largest shareholder, may exceed the endorsements he has signed so far.

More importantly, this is the official external B round of financing, and there will be C round after that. According to the current internal data of the company, the next round of financing will be launched by the beginning of next year at most.

Who knows how the valuation will rise by then.

In Zhang Dong's eyes, Lin Shaojie has broken away from being a simple basketball player. To a certain extent, he is now working for Lin Shaojie in front of him, and Lin Shaojie is one of his bosses.

The restaurants next to the riverside pedestrian street are very unique, and they are still bustling with people on this autumn afternoon.

From time to time, someone recognizes Lin Shaojie, the young monster who scored 51 points on the San Antonio Spurs.

Some fans were either surprised or excited, but they just took photos from a distance. After all, seeing that Lin Shaojie was obviously having dinner with friends, they did not come forward to disturb him.

But being surrounded by people while eating, the three of them finished the meal quickly. When they walked out, several young fans couldn't wait to step forward to take photos with Lin Shaojie and ask for autographs.

Li Dacheng took a camera to record all this, while Zhang Dong followed not far away and took a few photos from the perspective of passers-by.

Seeing a yellow man being sought after in this predominantly white world is so rare in sports. The last player like this was a little giant.

After the meal, the three of them took a walk along the walking paths along the river.

The temperature in San Antonio in November is pleasant. Even at night, you only need to wear a thin coat to feel the cool breeze.

Without the fans' following, Lin Shaojie is like a normal person, very relaxed.

Finding a corner in the Bay Area with few people, Li Dacheng set up his body camera.

After all, he, a reporter with a low salary, was on a business trip and could not come to a beautiful country to do anything. Being able to interview Lin Shaojie, a popular hotshot, gave Li Dacheng the confidence to run sideways on the sports channel.

There is no better way for a person to achieve enlightenment than for chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

After getting the equipment, the two lined up on the left and right, while Zhang Dong sat outside the camera and looked at everything.

"Hello everyone, I am Sina reporter Li Dacheng. I am in San Antonio now. After the Pacers' away game against the Spurs just ended, we invited Lin Shaojie, the best player in the game, and Coach Lin..."

Lin Shaojie waved from the side and greeted the camera like a panda.

His naive appearance makes people feel close to him.

"...We all know that Director Lin's girlfriend is still studying in China. Wouldn't it be boring for you to be alone in a beautiful, distant country?"

The two briefly talked about the Pacers' previous home and away games, as well as some semi-public information about the Pacers, which fans and friends liked more.

At this time, Li Dacheng asked a relatively private question, which was almost as direct as asking if you had any "stealing" topics. Lin Shaojie glanced at him sideways.

"I don't know about others, but for me, I was the last one to join the team before the preseason. From the moment I joined the Pacers, I have tried my best to strive for more opportunities to play."

"You did it and became an indispensable main force."

"Yes!"

Lin Shaojie is very satisfied with Li Dacheng's "admiration" role.

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. My performance in daily training impressed the head coach, so when there was a vacancy in the team, I seized the opportunity and took over smoothly."

"We watched those games without missing a beat. I guess the fans and friends in front of the screen are about the same as me."

"Thank you all for your support."

Lin Shaojie cupped his hands in front of the camera, without the airs of a football star at all.

"You can almost tell from the frequency of those games. We used to play almost every other day or even back-to-back. Judging from the November schedule, we have fifteen games. Such a high frequency requires daily training.

All my energy is spent on basketball, and I have almost no personal life. Whether my girlfriend is there or not, I feel like it is the same."

Li Dacheng felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.

"So when I see some stars going out at night and having fun, I admire their high energy."

"Then let's not talk about this, let's talk about something off-topic!"

Li Dacheng said with a smile: "Have you ever considered letting your girlfriend or parents come here after you have been in the beautiful country for so long? After all, you should not be short of money now."

Li Dacheng, who said he didn’t want to talk but continued the topic, had great ideas!

"Many fans know about my family situation. My parents are used to it in China. They are not used to it here, and I am not worried. My girlfriend has her own arrangements, but she missed the enrollment time this year. Next year, maybe she will arrive

Then everyone can see us together.”

Su Zhen, who missed the autumn registration, could only choose some universities suitable for spring registration.

Lin Shaojie wants to stay and fly with his girlfriend, but it will definitely not be possible in a short time.

"I just heard that my uncle and aunt are coming over. On the one hand, they may not be used to it, but on the other hand, you are worried?"

Li Dacheng took the opportunity to ask.

"Yes, there are concerns about this."

Lin Shaojie did not avoid it.

"The neighborhood I currently live in is relatively good in Polis City, but my parents don't speak the same language and I don't have time to spend with them. I can't hire someone to take care of them. My parents are not used to it, and I am not used to having so many people at home.

They are strangers. If they go to some neighborhoods with poor security, it will be even more troublesome."

Lin Shaojie spread his hands.

"Many of your fans are students. They even consider studying abroad in Indiana and say they can watch your games. What do you think about this?"

"this......"

Lin Shaojie was a little helpless.

"Maybe because of my career, I will attract more attention, but I am just a player. The only thing I can set an example for everyone is to do what I do, love what I do, and devote myself to it. Everyone comes to watch my game.

I'm very happy, but when it comes to personal life planning, I still hope everyone will consider it carefully.

Studying abroad is not an easy thing. I also know about it because my girlfriend wants to continue studying here. Choosing a suitable school is far more suitable than a famous school. Under the same conditions, I still hope that everyone can choose a domestic school.

After completing your studies, you can consider further studies.

There are too many things to consider when studying abroad, such as economy, environment, personal adaptability, etc. If you want to save the country through curves and seek a mixed degree from a pheasant university abroad, I think it is completely unnecessary, because it is not what it was ten years ago.

Twenty years ago, people didn’t value academic qualifications that much when applying for overseas jobs.

What is more likely is that if you go to such a school, most of your classmates may be Chinese, with only a few foreign students, and even the teachers who teach you may be Chinese. This kind of study abroad is meaningful to everyone.

What?"

Li Dacheng was also quite surprised by Lin Shaojie's words.

"It's just a change of place, but life and study are still the same as before. You will never learn new knowledge, so studying abroad is completely unnecessary."

Lin Shaojie spread his hands, indicating that this topic was over.

"From after the Olympics to now in the NBA, we have seen that your figure has changed a lot. Is the training in the NBA different from that in China?"

Li Dacheng said, and tightened his tight clothes, but Lin Shaojie's clothes were still thin. After leaving the muscle jungle of the basketball court, Lin Shaojie looked much stronger than on the TV screen.

It’s the kind of feeling that makes you look thin when you are wearing clothes, but you are looking fleshy when you are undressing.

"It would be a lie to say there is no difference. Although I have never played in a professional league in China, I have heard some things from my former teammates. In terms of training volume, many things are still conscious and the team will not force them.

You are required to train this and train that, but those are necessary for actual training within the team. If your foundation is not solid and solid, I'm sorry, but you are not even qualified to be a substitute.

So what we see more is the laughter and laughter of the stars on and off the court. Their basic training, speed, strength and other training are all paid for and spent on their own time. It may not seem to be a mandatory requirement, but it is actually included in the contract.

The embodiment of passivity.”

Lin Shaojie said, pointing to the muscles on his arm.

"I have seen many players seeking additional training with trainers in private. The NBA seems to be very profitable, but there are many places to spend money. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can improve. Some players take the money.

They spend a lot of time and alcohol, so they are eliminated soon after signing a contract. Some people work harder and spend a lot of money after signing a contract, but their dedication can help them sign bigger contracts in the future.

So I also have to spend money and find people to help with training. Of course, my progress is greater than others, so compared with the Olympics, my progress is faster."

"Have you encountered any discrimination here? The fans care about you."

Li Dacheng finally asked a more sensitive topic.

"There will definitely be one. Ask the little giant or the big brother about this. Everyone will have the same opinion."

Lin Shaojie said with a smile.

"Not everything under the sun is bright, there are also shadows that cannot be illuminated."

"What should I do if I encounter such a situation?"

Li Dacheng asked again.

"This issue is more complex. Discrimination on the surface or at the legal level has almost disappeared, but everyone knows that psychological discrimination still exists and will always exist.

Just like discrimination a long time ago was blatant, but now discrimination is deeply hidden.

Discrimination between races, discrimination between regions, mutual definition of each other, these situations all exist. I think it is normal for such situations to occur when everyone is not familiar with each other, just like we cannot give love to a stranger.

Same as trust.

But when we are familiar with each other and know each other, and there is still such a thing, it is more serious.

Because I am overseas, it is more about the cultural barriers between races.

In China, we value good wine when friends come. If you treat me as a friend and recognize my culture, then we can live in peace and help each other in times of crisis. Otherwise, we will become strangers!"

"Then...does anyone discriminate against you? Discriminate against you now?"

"I am a very easy person to get along with, but also very difficult to get along with."

Lin Shaojie pointed at himself.

"If he discriminates against me, what can he discriminate against me? Discriminate me to earn less than him?

No, in the NBA, except for a few players, I earned the most among the rookies. In terms of money, normal people would not discriminate against me, because they didn’t earn as much as I did. Those veteran players who were successful and famous,

Players with high salaries generally won't talk nonsense about this. They are far smarter than people outside think;

Besides money, or looks?

Although I am average-looking, I am not that bad, and I am not weak and willing to be bullied, right? From this point of view, no one should discriminate against me!"

Not to mention Li Dacheng, what Lin Shaojie said, Zhang Dong, who was listening all thought that he was just like this... just plain looking? You must have some misunderstanding about mediocre looking!

“So in the end, it’s still the human race!”

Lin Shaojie spread his hands.

"What do you mean that yellow people are not suitable for playing ball, running and jumping sports? Apart from sitting in offices and studying, they shouldn't compete with black players for jobs in physical sports?"

Lin Shaojie said with a smile.

"If someone discriminates against me based on race, with my level of 985, I can really have a good fight with him."

Li Dacheng felt that the sense of vanity that Lin Shaojie gained from joining the NBA was not as important as the fact that he was admitted to Jiangnan University in China. He had heard Lin Shaojie say this more than once.

"Yes, we can only lag behind the beautiful country now, but human history is so long. From a historical perspective, how many years are we behind?

Ten years? A hundred years? It can’t be a thousand years!

Our ancestors have stood at the top of human civilization for thousands of years. No matter how bad we are now, we are still the second largest economy in the world. From a historical perspective, we are still nobler than other races.

When our ancestors lived in rich clothes and delicious food, maybe the ancestors of 'those guys' had just come out of the mountains.

So I am proud in my heart. It’s useless for anyone to tell me. I have not discriminated against you. I treat you as an individual. You have only been dancing for a few days and you dare to discriminate against me. I’m afraid you don’t have a clue in your heart!”

Li Dacheng looked at Lin Shaojie's proud look, and then looked at the dismay that came from his bones.

Would a person with such a mentality be afraid of being discriminated against by others?

"Of course, some people can't stand it or understand it, so just 'beat' them until they are convinced. If you can't do it on the court, you can't do it with force."

Lin Shaojie's words affected the two people in front of him.

By the time Li Dacheng put away the video, it was already getting late.

Li Dacheng will stay in the beautiful country for a while and collect information on Lin Shaojie. If possible, he may even team up with Yang Ma's team to continue recording Lin Shaojie's relevant information.

Zhang Dong, on the other hand, will return to China soon.

When returning to see Zhang Dong back to the hotel, Lin Shaojie saw that he had "done" the other person for almost a while, so he said.

"Brother Zhang!"

"No, please call me Lao Zhang!"

Zhang Dong said immediately.

"Okay, Lao Zhang!"

Of course Lin Shaojie said without giving in.

"I don't understand business, but I understand basketball. I feel that the more mature an industry is, the more involution it will become. Just like the NBA, a struggling league that actively expands and wants to expand its influence, it just needs to continue to expand.

of involution.

Look at Leonard I faced today. He is only a second-year player. I am sure that as long as he is not injured, when he becomes more mature, by the time he reaches third or fourth grade, few players in the league will want to

You need to be one-on-one with him.

You tell me, I only played a few games and I met a player like this. How many potential players like this are there in dozens of teams."

Lin Shaojie Lin Shaojie took a breath and continued.

"In my opinion, these players are no different from employees of the company, and people like Larry Bird are the top executives of various companies. I can say that the management of the NBA is by no means as easy as the outside world imagines.

It's for others to see. The NBA has been able to reach this stage because of the hard work behind it. Their involution has already moved from the players to the management, and those who are still in the position will soon be eliminated. This

Only then did the alliance achieve its peak."

After speaking, Lin Shaojie pointed upward.

"In a company, I think being the boss is similar to Larry Bird. It looks easy, but it's not at all.

They are the gods of this company, in charge of the life and death of this company. In this company, they are the uncrowned kings. We need to ask them for instructions on everything, so I know who is responsible because he does not need to be responsible for the people below.

Just like Larry, who can resist when he absolutely chooses someone?

So, I'm doing business here. When we talk about relationships, you talk about money with me. The money is given to you, and you talk about relationships with me. When others come up with more money, you talk about money with me again.

, Fortunately, I still have some money, otherwise I might not be able to keep up with you, and I might be kicked off the bus in the end.

Now that this matter has been settled, your boss and I have official business, I have paid out the money that should be paid, and I have done the obligations that I should do, but so far, I have not enjoyed the rights that I should have as a shareholder.

I also hope that you will leave something to them when you go back. I am a person who is easy to get along with and I am not easy to get along with. People treat me with kindness and I treat others with kindness. This is a business. It only reaches this point if both parties agree on their ideas.

, after all, our personal relationship is a personal relationship, and the company is the company, so don’t feel embarrassed, anyway, I think foreigners can tell the difference clearly on this point."

When he arrived at the hotel, Lin Shaojie did not get off the car, but watched Zhang Dong and Li Dacheng check in.

The two sides said goodbye to each other across the car. It wasn't until the car was gone that Li Dacheng patted Zhang Dong on the shoulder and went upstairs.

"I haven't seen him for a while, and I feel like he has changed a lot, matured, and doesn't look like a student anymore."

"How can I not make progress? How can I still be a student?"

Li Dacheng put down his luggage and looked at his surroundings.

"He came to the beautiful country alone. Not many people in our sports circle were really optimistic about it at first, but everyone hoped that he could play well, so there was no need to worry about it.

After all, he was roughly supporting the national team at that time, and his ability was very different from that of domestic players. But in the US Professional Basketball Association, where talent is everywhere, who knows if he will be able to make it.

Looking back now, not only did they go out, but they also moved smoothly. For a team like the Pacers, everyone can talk about it. This is by no means a matter of pure skills, both inside and outside are indispensable.

Although those old gangsters didn't want anything, they were beaten miserably by the gangsters, but they didn't do much to bully other people. There must be something hateful about these poor people.

That group of people only hope to make money in culture and sports, and Xiaojie can grab food from their "job bowl". I don't know how many people's interests are affected. I don't believe it if they say there is no discrimination.

Now I see him breaking through the siege in the Pacers and still being the boss in the locker room. Do you think it’s possible without some tricks?”

Zhang Dong lay on the bed and said after a long time.

"Do you know how many new users we added last month?"

Li Dacheng took a look: "How did I know this? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

"We went through nearly half a year of product development from scratch, but it only took us a short time from the product launch to the one millionth user."

Zhang Dong, who was lying on the bed, rubbed his hands and made a very small gap.

"According to our team's internal analysis, with the current development status, we want to reach 50 million users, within half a year at most, at which time we will start Series C financing. Do you know what that means?"

"Fuck, is it true or false?"

Li Dacheng said in horror.

"A company with only a few of you? Weibo only has about 300 million users."

Perhaps in Li Dacheng's eyes, although the company Zhang Dong went to had potential, when the potential was realized, the burst of energy would be too amazing.

"This is still a conservative estimate!"

Zhang Dong said with eyes full of hope.

"Just like Lin Shaojie, who could have predicted that he would achieve what he does today? Our company is so similar to him. Since the launch of the product, our number of registered users has shown explosive growth. Those shares in Lin Shaojie's hands, you

Do you know how valuable it is?

A living billionaire stayed with us for an evening, do you have any dignity?"

"Fuck me!"

Li Dacheng felt heartache. He vaguely remembered that Lin Shaojie was very optimistic when he invested and suggested that he also invest. He replied that he had invested a little with Zhang Dong, but now it seems that the little money he invested was not worth it.

It doesn’t count as money! Even if you get it back five times or ten times, it’s not much!

If I had known this, I would have lost all my money and still invested.

This night, some people were tossing and turning and had difficulty falling asleep, while others were sleeping soundly without heart or soul.

...

It was already evening when he returned to Polis City. Lin Shaojie went to Granger's house to take a look at the poor guy.

The latter finally completed the operation under the hands of a famous doctor and is still recovering, but according to the news from the doctor, it will take at least three months.

This also indicates that Granger wants to pay, and it will be in January next year at the earliest. If there is any delay in the meantime, there will be another delay.

Lin Shaojie separated from his teammates at the airport and took a car alone, and the car was not going in the direction of home. This made the reporters who secretly photographed him excited.

This popular player in the NBA, although he looks very fancy in their eyes, he can always win the love of many fans of the opposite sex, both on and off the court.

Even many celebrities on the East Coast said that they fell in love with the Pacers rookie and would definitely go to watch his game if they had the chance.

For the NBA, this kind of news couldn't be better. They very much welcome these celebrities with their own traffic to "repost."

Therefore, everyone is aware of this kind of news and helps each other.

Lin Shaojie was helpless about this.

But there were too many rumors and rumors, and the fans found it boring.

People start with a picture, and the content is all edited. You can't just edit every time. At the very least, you have to take a few pictures. No matter what the angle is, the more ambiguous the better.

But Lin Shaojie didn't give these reporters a chance at all. The reporter who secretly photographed Lin Shaojie knew best that the young man lived like an ascetic.

Now I suddenly felt something was wrong, and my dead heart started to jump.

But as the distance between Lin Shaojie's car and the destination became more and more familiar, several reporters also looked at each other.

Isn't this Granger's home?

When Paul George, the "second brother", came back, the first thing he did was go to the bar with Hibbert to have fun, but Lin Shaojie came to find Granger instead?

There won't be any problem with that kid's orientation, right?

Granger was filled with emotions regarding Lin Shaojie's sudden visit.

Lin Shaojie, who has successfully taken over at this time, has become the Pacers' most influential locker room boss. This is because he has recently proven himself with outstanding data and can lead the Pacers forward.

Today he played at an epic level in San Antonio.

Granger even doubted whether there would be a place for him when he returned to the team.

Paul George's performance in the last two games is indeed not very good, but that is not his problem alone, but is the case for most players. But even so, Paul has shined against a mature team like the Spurs.

of performance.

His progress was visible to the naked eye, so Granger was already worried about his future.

"There's no need to worry about that, Danny."

Lin Shaojie comforted Granger.

"All you have to do is recover from your injuries. A long game cannot be solved by just five people. We need a strong lineup. You are the boss of our locker room. We are all waiting for your return."

Lin Shaojie's words are not false. Compared with Paul, there is indeed a gap. If the Pacers want to go further, they need more strategic reserve talents.

Lin Shaojie is here to appease Granger and hope that he can recover as soon as possible. There is no player on the market who is better and more cost-effective than him.

But the premise is that Granger can recover smoothly.

The reporters squatting outside the hospital looked at Lin Shaojie chatting under Granger's villa for a while before waving goodbye.

It was sad to see Granger bidding farewell on crutches, but Lin Shaojie's "loyalty" behavior made people very fond of him.

The reporters who thought they could catch evidence of Lin Shaojie going out at night were helpless but failed once again.

Even though this was a show for everyone to see, Lin Shaojie did his best to be benevolent and righteous.

During training the next morning, Paul could still keep his spirits up, but Hibbert was obviously wilted, and his languid state was worrying.

"Roy, are you kidding me?"

On the training ground, Lin Shaojie, who was playing post-up, relied on Hibbert to advance inside step by step, and then turned around. He didn't even make a fake move, but just made a hard shot against Hibbert.

Lin Shaojie, who appears to be a gentleman on the field, is so ferocious and scary during training.

This was the first time the Pacers players saw Lin Shaojie use low post skills during daily training, and it was against Roy Hibbert, a seven-foot man.

"Lynn, are you too powerful?"

"No, no matter how powerful I am, I won't be able to beat you so easily. Are you not full? Or..."

After listening to Lin Shaojie's words, Hibbert was ashamed and looked at Paul George who was not far away. The latter turned his head and shot a mid-range shot.

"bump!"

It's a pity that I didn't get in.

"Come again!"

Lin Shaojie got the basketball and continued to "practice" his back-up skills. As a sparring partner, Hibbert was helpless and could only passively feel the "skeleton" in front of him hitting his generous body!

The muffled sound of "bang" and "bang" made Hibbert step back step by step. Even though everyone knew that Hibbert had not had a good rest last night, a center with such a tall stature could actually perform his best low-post skills.

Everyone was shocked by Lin Shaojie, a rookie.

David West couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to step forward while Hibbert was out of breath, saying that he could accompany Lin Shaojie to practice low-post skills.

"Are you sure? David?"

Lin Shaojie raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, even though I'm older, I think it's okay."

West patted his chest. Although Lin Shaojie was already recognized as No. 1 in the locker room, West was not a vegetarian.

Facing this experienced and powerful player, Lin Shaojie's back post is not as effective as it was when facing Hibbert.

But after Lin Shaojie's post-ups and fake moves, Hibbert was a little overwhelmed.

Everyone knows that Lin Shaojie frequently used low-post skills in the team's official training for a short period of time. It seems that he only started after Larry Bird gave him instructions.

This technique, which was once widely used, was mostly used by forward players and required close combat in the paint area. It seems to have gradually disappeared from the back line.

Among the rising stars in the league now, there are only a few defenders who have truly mastered this technique and dared to use it.

Anyone who knows this trick is someone who has been famous for a long time.

Now I see that Lin Shaojie, a guy who has only entered the league not long ago, is not afraid of David West's defense. His lightness and strength in a one-on-one challenge surprise everyone!

Even Frank, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was a little stunned.

After all, Larry Bird designed some technical directions for Lin Shaojie and asked Huang Shenxing to provide help. Frank knew all of this.

But it has only been a while, and Lin Shaojie has mastered it so well.

"Lynn, I think you can try playing as a small forward?"

Frank watched Lin Shaojie turn his back again and make a shoulder-shaking movement. West was deceived off his center of gravity. Lin Shaojie turned around in the opposite direction, giving himself half a step of shooting space.

Don't underestimate this half step, it is a huge difference and gives Lin Shaojie plenty of room to take action.

When West stretched out his hand helplessly and could only watch the opponent turn around and shoot a jump shot, he gave up the rebounding action in resignation.

"Whoa!"

The sound of the basketball hitting the net is very nice and pleasing to the ear, but West feels that it is the call of the devil, and the No. 13 on the opposite side is constantly undermining his self-confidence.

"Someone told me this once too!"

Lin Shaojie responded to Frank's words, looked at David West raising his hands in surrender, and then stared at Hibbert not far away. Lin Shaojie, who said nothing, slowly put down the ball.

The training is over and he wants to go back to the locker room.

When the players entered the locker room one after another to change clothes and prepare to take a shower, Lin Shaojie looked at Hibbert with his eyes. The latter was in a daze and then at a loss.

In front of everyone, Lin Shaojie, who was sitting on the chair, said to Hibbert mercilessly.

"Roy, if we win against the Spurs, it's understandable that everyone will be happy together tonight, but can you guarantee that we can win the next time we face them?"

Hibbert didn't dare to speak.

"You can't stop Tim (Duncan) and all of us will forgive you, he has experience that we lack;

You can't bear it when facing Dior, we can continue to forgive you, he has more experience than you;

When facing Cousins, he is a player with outstanding talent, can't you stop him? Or do you think your talent is not as good as his?"

Roy felt that the "boss" opposite him was not giving him face. Danny (Granger) had never said this about himself. Who are you? Is it because you have become the boss of the locker room? Without the support of our younger brothers,

You, can you be the boss?

If I hadn't been the first to speak, would you have been able to come to Taiwan at that time?

Are you going to burn bridges now?

Hibbert raised his head and tried to find more "like-minded" people to resist the pressure brought by Lin Shaojie on him.

The first choice is Paul.

Paul George could feel Roy Hibbert's intentions passed to him, but he saw on the news in the morning that Lin Shaojie, who returned from the victory yesterday, immediately visited the eldest brother Granger who was recuperating at home after surgery.

Paul was so ashamed that he couldn't see anyone in the morning. How crazy he was last night, and how embarrassed he felt this morning. It seemed that everyone looked at him with some accusatory meaning.

In particular, the more Hibbert pulls his hips, the more serious this accusation seems to be.

"Lynn, it was my mistake. I will never make it next time. I will not go with Roy again."

Paul George said apologetically, he knew why with a calm mind, and he was also a smart man.

Hibbert was so disheartened that even (the file) was like this, what could he say? He looked at David West asking for help.

The latter hurriedly dodged: "I'm an old man. I've already carried the thunder for you this morning. Do you think it's very honorable to be beaten by a little guy in the low position?"

Hibbert looked around and found a group of people silent. In the locker room, only Lin Shaojie was left sitting on a chair, looking at him quietly.

His expression was very bland, so bland that he seemed to be unable to see himself.

"I......"

Before Hibbert finished speaking, there was a "creak" and Hibbert was startled.

Lin Shaojie, who was sitting on the chair, stood up, making a screeching sound from the chair under his buttocks.

"Roy, you signed a new contract this year. It's a big contract that all of us know. But about your recent performance, do you know how outsiders evaluate you? Do you need me to describe it?"

"No need!"

Hibbert pretended to be "tough" and said with some movements on his hands, like a frightened person dancing around, trying to give himself some sense of security.

"Those people think you are not worth it, but I think it is a good deal. I want to find a big man like you. I only spend this money and the team makes a lot of money. Can you understand what I mean?"

Hibbert's complexion suddenly became much better, and his expression finally softened, but...

"But that was my previous understanding. After these few games, you played like shit."

Lin Shaojie suddenly strode forward and pressed closely against Hibbert. He was obviously 15 centimeters shorter than the opponent, but Hibbert did not dare to look at him. All the players in the locker room looked at the "angry"

Lin Shaojie.

"I took crazy shots in yesterday's game. Why? Don't you know?"

"I want to rush to the inside and fight with Duncan and the others. Do you know why?"

"I want to give Paul (George) more opportunities, give George (Hill) more opportunities, and even give substitute players more opportunities. Our goal is never to break into the playoffs, our goal is to

After climbing over the mountain of heat, can you understand it? Do you understand it?"

"In your current state, how will you face Bosh and LeBron in the future? Can you withstand their impact?"

Hibbert felt his chest getting tighter and tighter. It was not only Lin Shaojie's words that kept hurting him, but also Lin Shaojie's hands tightly grabbing his jersey.

The jersey, which had not been worn for long, was crumpled into a ball in Lin Shaojie's hands.

"I knew that this kid was a cruel guy. I knew from the moment he entered the team that he was a tyrant in the locker room. If anyone failed to meet his requirements and affected his record, he would dare to challenge anyone.

Anyone issues a challenge."

David West felt like a stallion, thinking silently in his mind.

Hibbert looked like a very strong husky, but he was forced into a corner by Lin Shaojie, a little "bull terrier", and was trembling a little.

Everyone could see that Hibbert, who had been very aggressive before, had his emotions completely controlled by the No. 3 overall pick after his demeanor softened. The guy was in the locker room, cheering everyone up, and asking everyone to follow him.

Hibbert pressed.

It was as if Hibbert was being pushed against the locker door of the locker room by the "slender" Lin Shaojie in a violent storm, making a loud "thud" sound.

"You have the highest salary in the team. We have no objection. You deserve it. But other players, including me, also want to get a big contract for themselves. We don't want to not even make it to the playoffs."

, or in the first round, you are an indispensable member of us, and you are the most important one inside."

Lin Shaojie said "ferociously" to Hibbert. The latter's eyes were a little red. He opened his mouth but did not say anything. His dry throat seemed unable to make any sound. He was too nervous and his whole body was trembling.

"Your goal is to knock down players like Bosh and LeBron, instead of hiding in the paint and waiting for rebounds to come to the goal. Can you stand up and hold up the sky in the paint?"

Lin Shaojie's saliva almost sprayed on Hibbert's face. He was 15 centimeters shorter. At this moment, Hibbert hunched his back and rounded his shoulders. The two sides looked at each other almost equally.

But Hibbert only dared to lower his head. The look in the other person's eyes was too cruel and piercing.

"If you think what I said is too much, I will grab as many offensive rebounds as you grab in the backcourt. Do you think that's okay?"

"No, that's too difficult!"

David West quickly stopped and said, everyone understands the difficulty. Are you trying to force Lin Shaojie to death?

Hibbert raised his head and saw everyone glaring at him, and suddenly realized, have I provoked everyone's anger?

Didn't everyone's training in the morning go well? Why did it suddenly become like this?

Who did I, an honest man, mess with?

"No, Lynn, the team is not yours alone, all of us will work hard."

Paul George said bravely, "I have never seen such a ruthless player. A guy who is 1.93 meters tall dares to say that. Although he grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds before, for any defender, that is a close call."

Mission impossible.

"I...I will do it, Lynn, you don't have to do this."

Hibbert's words startled everyone. After a while, the guy's eyes were red and his dry throat was like a dehydrated traveler in the desert.

Licking his lips and trembling slightly, Hibbert raised his arms.

"I won't go out this month, no, until next month. You will supervise me until you agree. I will do what I say."

"Hi, what are you doing?"

When Frank pushed the door open, he saw Lin Shaojie stretching Hibbert's jersey. The jersey seemed a little wrinkled, as if it was torn in some places.

As for other players, some have already picked up towels and are ready to go to the bathroom, while others are packing up to leave.

"Frank, Paul just told a joke that was very funny. Hibbert laughed too much and knocked his head off."

George Hill explained that Frank looked over and saw that there was indeed a slight bump on the locker door behind Hibbert.

"Are you okay?"

"fine!"

A look on Hibbert's face was uglier than crying: You are all bullying me, an honest man.

"Be careful. Some players break their legs while taking a shower. I don't want you to be that poor guy."

Frank's words made Hibbert burst into tears: I would rather break my leg than face the same Lynn again.

After Frank walked away, Lin Shaojie turned around and went to the bathroom. After he left, a group of players went to the bathroom one after another.

This is also one of the default rules of the NBA, the boss goes first, the rookie last.

Hibbert, who usually goes to the bathroom first, fell behind this time.

"Lance, Lance?"

Hibbert grabbed Lance Stephenson who was at the end and said quickly: "Lance, are you considering changing the boss?"

"you?"

Stephenson said disdainfully.

"No, what I mean is that Lin En is too cruel. Wouldn't it be too stressful to follow such a boss?"

"Do you know how cool a boss like this is?"

Lance Stephenson said proudly: "That is the guy who scored more than 50 points on the Spurs. He is a real thigh. He will be a big shot. Believe me, my eyes will not be wrong.

"

When he was about to walk out of the door, Stephenson turned around and said: "I suggest you talk to Lynn privately. His anger should not go away. Also, when you face the Hawks in the next game, you have to play to your standards, otherwise you will be miserable.

of."

Whistling, Stephenson left the locker room and looked at the empty locker room. Hibbert quickly picked up his clothes. Why was he so timid for such a big man?

If I had fought with Lin En, would I have...

Hibbert trembled, thinking of Pekovic and Cousins.

Thinking of those scenes, he suddenly felt proud of his "wisdom" and "calmness". Maybe he dared to reach out, and it was him who was lying on the floor of the locker room looking up at the "starry sky". He wanted to reason with the guy with his fists, but it seemed that he couldn't.

Too good.

Is every Chinese person a kung fu master?

"Lance, wait for me. I'll discuss it with you. Can you give me Lynn's backpack later? I think I'm more suitable than you... I'll pay you $10,000...
