On November 7, the NBA officially announced its Player of the Week.

The best player in the Western Conference was won by Harden, who flew to the Rockets. The former Thunder's best sixth man, after arriving in the Rocket City, scored the league's highest average of 35.3 points per game, and led the Rockets to two wins and one win.

negative performance.

In the first game, the Rockets' engine posted 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals, leading the team to defeat the Pistons. Later, against the Hawks, he even scored the best score of his career.

A new high of 45 points.

As for the game they lost to the Trail Blazers, it was also because Harden injured his ankle and only scored 24 points, and the final game was lost in overtime.

His first result was also the fourth one after Larry Bird, Jordan, and Wade.

Harden's rapid takeoff in the Rockets also made Lin Crazy's position slightly awkward.

The "Harlem" combination that the Rockets originally identified as a two-man core was shattered because both of them needed the ball. Harden's extraordinary performance overwhelmed Lin Kuangsheng and made him unable to stand up. The former became a veritable boss of the Rockets.

In the latest promotional images, Crazy Lin's position has almost disappeared, and the advertising slogans have become "Beard Crazy", "We have big beards in Houston," plus "The big beard is coming."

Crazy Lin, who made 25 million in three years, instantly became synonymous with parallel imports, and experts and fans questioned him one after another.

In the East, LeBron James, who thought he had the best in the first week, was waiting for "bad news." The league's number one player who won the gold medal in the Olympics and has been chasing Jordan suddenly discovered that in the first week

The best one turned out to be the Pacers' No. 13 pick.

Is this "only hearing new people laughing, but not hearing old people crying"?

Or "Dad" Stern doesn't love LeBron anymore.

Thinking about Nike's emphasis on newcomers, LeBron even felt like an "abandoned son". The feeling that the "abandoned boy" was about to rise gave LeBron nowhere to vent his anger.

But facing a newcomer and scoring 51 points against the Spurs, LeBron still had to maintain an elegant smile and affirmation even in front of reporters.

"I know Lynn. His performance in the Olympics was great. He was just one hundred million points away from defeating us. Now he, the No. 3 draft pick, has won the Player of the Week award. Congratulations to him and look forward to our next meeting.

...Of course...I am happy to exchange contact information with him. If he has any questions, he can ask me for advice and I will answer him..."

Although LeBron and Lin Shaojie are not very familiar with each other, LeBron's performance in front of the media is definitely up to standard.

As a "senior," he expressed a warm welcome to Lin Shaojie, and encouraged the "juniors" to continue their efforts, achieve better results, and perform impeccably, just like Mr. Perfect.

LeBron, who didn't win the Eastern Conference's Best of the Week, later took the first place in ESPN's player list, with a score of 9.99, just a little short of the perfect score of 10.

Expert Mark Stein, who deducted 0.01 points from him, believes that James is still a little short of perfection. He hopes that the points he deducted will give James more motivation to win another championship this year.

Although James did not score full marks, he still recognized the result in the end. After all, he is already the number one in the league and must have the qualities of being number one.

In this list, even though Lin Shaojie scored a shocking 51 points in the league, he still only received an 8-point rating.

Although this evaluation has occupied the forefront among this year's rookies, it still attracts many people's doubts.

Because this year's No. 1 pick, Anthony Davis, nicknamed Big Eyebrow, actually received an 8.2 rating, surpassing Lin Shaojie's 8-point rating.

The explanation given by ESPN is that Lin Shaojie has released his potential in advance, but Anthony Davis is still in the initial stage. The future ceiling is determined, and Anthony Davis will definitely surpass Lin Shaojie.

This is not the opinion of one expert, but the opinion of many experts.

"If a rookie player leads the team to defeat the Spurs and only gets an 8-point evaluation, then a player like me who got 8.5 points doesn't know how to prove himself."

Tony Parker, who is also an international player, stood up and spoke. After Lin Shaojie led his team to defeat the Spurs, belittling Lin Shaojie was belittling the Spurs. Parker, who already had a good impression of Lin Shaojie, had no such concerns.

O'Neal, who originally supported Lin Shaojie the most, did not say that. After all, he has now begun to take advantage of the media and has to consider his own interests.

Personal preferences should always be put aside in the face of interests.

After Parker, Kobe Bryant, the former number one player in the league, also stood up and spoke out, and what he said was very interesting.

"I think it's useless to say more. It's not low for Lynn to score 8 points, but this is just a lot of people following past practices. When other players face Lynn, they know this so-called '8'

What kind of power is it? Don’t blame me for not reminding you, that kid is very cool."

...

When the Pacers arrived in Atlanta a day later, TNT broadcast the game again.

Charles Barkley once again sat in the commentary box as the commentator for this game.

Before the game started, everyone expressed their opinions one after another because of the recent best players in the East and West. As an old rival of ESPN, TNT certainly had a mocking tone.

Buckley's big mouth spared no effort.

"If I were to choose the best player in the first four rounds of the league, I would definitely vote for Lynn, and that's why I'm sitting here. Ever since I called a Lynn game with Shaquille,

I am very optimistic about this guy, he is a real tough guy, not a sissy."

"Is it because he knocked Cousins ​​down?"

"Cousins ​​has been voted a tough guy by many fans before, but compared with Lynn, I don't think he is as tough as Lynn."

Buckley spread his hands and said nonchalantly.

"And the rating, can you think of a player who scored 51 points against the Spurs, and ESPN only gave it eight points? Eight points? LeBron even scored 9.99 points, just a little bit shy of getting a perfect score.

, the last player to be so selected was Michael (Jordan), do they think that LeBron, who won a championship, can tie with Jordan?"

Barkley doesn't like LeBron very much, because that guy has been constantly challenging the status of other players since he entered the league. Every data is very impressive, and he even keeps trying to beat Jordan. Everyone can see it.

"I never want to compare anyone with Michael Jordan. He has an almost perfect body. Although James is as fast as Jordan and jumps as high, after Jordan, the only person closest to him is Kobe. If LeBron gets another

I will consider him for the next three or four championships."

Buckley felt that what he said was too harsh, so he added another sentence.

"Of course, in today's league, LeBron is still unique. After all, Kobe's template is Michael, but LeBron does not have such a template."

"What about Lynn?"

asked the host Charlie, who was sitting on the other side.

"Lynn? I not only saw his toughness, but also his scoring ability and defensive ability. Some people said before that he was like Kidd who turned on the offensive switch. I also think it is a bit like him. After all, his passing and defense

They are all very good, but after watching the last game against the Spurs, I think even if Kidd turns on the offensive switch, he will not be able to score 51 points against the Spurs."

Speaking of this, Buckley expressed great interest.

"If you only look at the first two quarters of the Pacers and Spurs games, Lynn's performance is definitely that of a qualified rookie player who can dribble, pass, and score at the same time.

But in the third quarter, he turned on the killer mode and scored 29 points in a single quarter, most of which were two-pointers. Among active players, I have only seen Durant show such a level. I even thought that

,Lynn is a shorter version of Durant.”

Buckley waved his hand again and said with emotion.

"But in the fourth quarter, Lynn changed his style of play again. It was very classical. Except for Kobe, I have never seen any other defender with such a mature back. For a moment, I even saw the shadow of Michael. I thought Michael

You're right, that guy must have watched a lot of his videos."

After saying that, Buckley laughed heartily.

"You know, when Michael and I were on the phone, we told him that he wanted to coach that guy's back-up skills if he had the opportunity. Michael hopes that there will be more of his successors in the league."

Host Charlie responded smoothly: "So, does Michael regret that he missed such a rookie?"

"Can I say he regrets it?"

Barkley showed no scruple in front of his best friend.

"We all know that Michael was successful as a player, but he was obviously unsuccessful as a boss, and while he was probably unhappy about that, I'll be honest, I felt like he was cursed.

But Michael has made it clear that the next time he meets the No. 13 pick, he will give him his personal phone number, and he does not expect a call from that little guy."

Watching the players at the scene complete their warm-up, Barkley said quickly.

"The game has officially started. Let's see that little guy's game. I'm looking forward to it more and more."

At the National Agricultural Arena, the Pacers' starting lineup for this game was still the unshakable core five.

Lin Shaojie, George Hill, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert.

The audience has already become familiar with such a mature lineup.

Danny Granger, a guy who should have occupied the core C position, was handed over just because he was recuperating at home due to injury. Many domestic fans who have just started watching football don't even know that the Pacers have such a player who has not yet been able to play.

The boss who joins the team.

The Hawks have Teague, Korver, Josh Smith, Horford, and Pachulia.

The No. 1 ball-handler is Teague.

During the jump ball, the Hawks sent Josh Smith to face Roy Hibbert. How could Josh, a jumping man, compete with the talented Hibbert?

Sure enough, Hibbert overpowered Josh Smith, and Lin Shaojie took the ball easily. Teague also wanted to take the opportunity to grab the ball back, but was dodged by Lin Shaojie's light dribbling from behind.

Hibbert, who successfully jumped the ball, glanced at Lynn. He was in pain and happiness these two days.

The pain in his heart was because he lost face and was scolded miserably by Lin Shaojie in the team; but the happiness was that he helped Lin Shaojie carry his bag when he got off the plane. Even if this scene was photographed by reporters, he felt it was nothing.

.

Because before going on the field, Lin Shaojie patted his buttocks to encourage him.

By hitting a stick with a sweet date, Lin Shaojie seemed to be self-taught.

The most important thing is that Hibbert seems to have the attribute of being a pussy. Lynn abused me thousands of times, and I treated him like my first love.

A small gesture of carrying a bag made Hibbert even feel a little flattered. Now that he was playing ball, all he needed was a look from the opponent, and his whole body seemed to be full of power.

Seeing that the Pacers' No. 13 rookie on the opposite side avoided his steal and held the ball calmly, Teague, who was facing him, became cautious.

Before the game, head coach Larry Drew specifically warned that the other Pacers players are familiar to everyone, but this one is relatively unfamiliar.

But at the same time, he is unfamiliar, and he often appears in media reports. From time to time, you can see the top ten goals, gossip news and the like. He is definitely the most popular player in the league.

Larry Drew, as a coach, is definitely not like the players who look at people through colored glasses due to conflicts of interest.

So I told everyone before the game.

"Don't let that kid set the pace. Whether it's his personal offense or organizing the team's offense, we have the final say on our home court. Don't follow the opponent's rhythm. That will make us taste failure."

As the team's No. 1 position, Teague is well aware of the consequences if the opponent controls the rhythm. After all, this is a rookie who can score 51 points, and Teague also wants to test the opponent's level.

After all, in the alliance, one thing is worth one thing.

Just like Deron and Paul, Little Giant and Howard, there are too many such happy enemies. Teague also wants to be called the "Lynn Killer", which is a very interesting thing to think about.

But when Lin Shaojie faced Teague, he suddenly passed the ball to Hill. Lin Shaojie, who was running without the ball, instantly got rid of Teague's defense.

"So fast!"

Teague subconsciously reacted that when he wanted to pursue again, Lin Shaojie, who ran into the three-point line, had already received Hill's return pass. He didn't even use a pick-and-roll, and the Hawks' defense missed someone.

This is the simplest two-on-one combination!

After receiving the basketball, Lin Shaojie jumped up high in one step and straightened his back. At this moment, he fully demonstrated his ability to stay in the air in front of the audience at the National Agricultural Arena.

Josh Smith, the new Eagle King who was defending him, couldn't stop him at all. He obviously took off at the same time to interfere, but in terms of the height of the takeoff and the ability to stay in the air, Josh was inferior to Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie turned slightly sideways to avoid his opponent's block. His body stayed in the air, and his left wrist holding the ball sank down, then rounded it in the air, and then hit the basket from the other side.

"Clang!"

The net sent high waves, and the entire basket made a muffled sound as if it had received a blow.

Lin Shaojie's quick dunk had a thunderous momentum. Lin Shaojie showed a fiery state at the beginning, which instantly reminded people of the scoring monster who scored 29 points in a single quarter.

“So cool!”

Buckley said excitedly.

"The Hawks never expected that Lin Shaojie didn't give the opponent time to react after the opening. Their defense was too lax. Facing a rookie who was scoring explosively, they actually gave up a gorgeous channel. Except for Josh's defense, which was more timely.

, Horford and Pachulia on the inside didn’t have time to react, Lynn’s movements were too fast, and it didn’t seem like the two sides were on the same channel.”

Lin Shaojie pulled hard from the basket and let go, high-fiving Hibbert.

"Very good, you blocked both of them by yourself."

Hibbert, who received the praise, was as happy as a fool from a landlord's family, who only knows how to have fun. Pachulia and Pachulia felt strange. We were just careless. Can that guy stop us two?

Hibbert was heartless. He knew that he performed well and was praised, and that was enough.

Frank shook his fist vigorously off the court. He rarely interfered in matters in the locker room, but so far it seemed that Lin Shaojie was doing a very good job. There should be a lot of opposition to him, a rookie who suddenly rose to power, but with the

After winning one victory after another, everyone knows that if the Pacers want to continue on this road of victory at this time, they can no longer do without the No. 13 pick.

With the horn of victory sounding, everyone changed their views on facing rookies.

Hibbert, the guy who won the Pacers' largest contract this year, can take the initiative to follow Lin Shaojie, which plays a vital role in maintaining the unity of the team.

After all, besides him, only David West can score easily in the paint, but David cannot stay in the paint for a long time.

For a long time, Hibbert was the only one, and substitute Ian Mahinmi was not enough to shoulder the heavy burden inside.

Lin Shaojie sounded the clarion call for war with a clean dunk. The Hawks' counterattack came quickly. When the Pacers retreated, Josh took the ball and rushed in after halftime.

Hibbert, who was full of confidence, actually gave the opponent a big block inside.

Hibbert, who successfully defended the ball, stood under the basket and roared to the sky.

"Paul, did you miss someone?"

Lin Shaojie patted Paul George on the shoulder, and then whispered.

When he was defending Teague, Paul actually let people break into the penalty area. If Hibbert hadn't played well, the Eagles would have returned the answer ball.

"Stay close to that guy and follow him as soon as he passes halftime. You can get a lot of defensive experience from him!"

Paul George nodded, just like Granger had responded when he spoke to him.

If it were someone else, Paul wouldn't pay attention to him, but who is Lin Shaojie?

This guy punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten.

Everyone from Pekovic to Cousins ​​was beaten by him. In the last round, he even scored 51 points on the Spurs.

A guy at such a young age not only has a strong fighting ability, but also has a very mature mentality. Especially what he did in the locker room yesterday, no one will regard him as a rookie anymore.

Standing in front of a seven-foot tall man like Hibbert, Lin Shaojie was able to hold him against the closet door without daring to resist, something Paul George thought he couldn't do.

Thinking about it afterwards, Paul felt that it was a bit magical. That boy was really brave.

When he walked out of the Atlanta airport today, Hibbert took the initiative to carry his bag and stole Lance's job. Do you think anyone in the team questioned it?

It seems like everyone takes it for granted.

The guy with the highest annual salary carries a rookie bag?

It seems that I have never heard of such a thing.

When the Eagles struggled to get the inbound ball, Josh found that his offense was actually blocked.

After trading Eagles king Joe Johnson, the Eagles have made it clear that they want to support Josh Smith.

But facing Paul George, who was still a newcomer, Josh suddenly found that this kid was also very difficult to deal with.

It can be learned from the media that the Pacers have two strong perimeter defenders, one is Paul George and the other is Lynn.

In interviews known so far, all teams that have played against the Pacers believe that Linn is a difficult guy. Not only his defense, but also his trash talk can stir up the players' heartstrings and easily make people feel uncomfortable.

Mental imbalance.

Some say Lynn is a "devil," others say he is a "racist."

No matter how accurate these comments are, no matter whether they are good or bad, all opponents only have one meaning, and that is that the Pacers' No. 13 rookie is very difficult to mess with.

When rookies need to rely on defense to grab playing time, this guy is like a full-level player entering the rookie village.

The boss hasn't come on stage yet, but his "second child" has already made Josh feel difficult.

Paul's physical talents, from static to dynamic, are among the best in the league, and Josh, a veteran, knows this all too well.

Let's look at Teague, the team's No. 1 position. Under Lin Shaojie's defense, this organization can't even touch the ball.

One thing the Pacers can rest assured about Lin Shaojie is that they will not perform well against anyone Lin Shaojie says to guard.

Especially when facing someone who is not as tall as Lin Shaojie, it is almost a disaster for the opponent.

What he is best at is using his own strengths to bully others without any scruples.

Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, he always makes those "little guys" suffer.

But when he encounters a defender who is taller than him, he can immediately switch to fighting mode, using strength, speed, and his "friendly," "enthusiastic" attitude to influence the opponent until the opponent surrenders.

Josh, who had been blocked once, did not dare to break in again this time. Seeing that he could not break through Paul's defense, the new Eagle King had to lob the ball to Pachulia inside, hoping that he, a big man, would resolve the battle inside.

After all, Hibbert is now what everyone calls a "softie" who can be bullied by anyone.

But Pachulia didn't expect that when he caught the ball, Hibbert kept touching him with his hardness.

Hibbert, who was "fired" by Lin Shaojie, did not hesitate to show his tough side to his opponents.

Pachulia, who was slightly embarrassed, turned around and shot a jumper.

"careful!"

Josh watched as Lin Shaojie, who was guarding Teague, suddenly let go of his guard. His defense seemed to be able to switch at any time at that moment, knowing who was the real last-ditch player.

Pachulia's body shape always makes him look awkward when facing defenders.

Lin Shaojie, who was extremely agile, cut off Pachulia just when he was about to raise his hand. At that moment, Josh, who was standing not far away, could see clearly.

There was obviously still half a step away, but No. 13's long arm swung over, and there was a loud "bang" when he hit the ball. Pachulia, who was holding the ball with both hands, couldn't hold it at all.

"Steal the ball!"

Buckley said in surprise.

"Look, this guy's sense of smell is so keen. He immediately let go of Teague. When Hibbert withstood Pachulia, he completed a beautiful steal in the paint."

The Eagles retreated very quickly in transition between offense and defense. They showed great athletic talent. Josh, the new Eagle king, ran to the backcourt when he felt bad for the first time, so that the defense would not be left defenseless.

The same position is placed in front of the enemy.

Looking up at Lin Shaojie in the distance, he could only see the basket.

Lin Shaojie, who did not slow down at all while running, was about to hit Josh Smith. But at the moment of contact, Josh, who closed his eyes, only felt a gust of wind blowing from his face. When he opened his eyes again,

when.

"Where are the people?"

When Josh turned his head, he only saw the back of No. 13, stepping on the free throw line and leaping high.

"That's..."

In the eyes of the audience and even Barkley, they saw Lin Shaojie, who was rushing forward quickly. Facing Josh Smith outside the three-point line, he turned around and passed by. At that moment, it was like pressing the accelerator button. Josh had no reaction at all and subconsciously

Reaching out just grabbed the air.

Being able to turn around and pass people so stably at high speed requires a lot of core strength and balance.

Lin Shaojie, who turned around completely 360 degrees, had no intention of slowing down at all. After a quick sprint, he stood half a foot in front of the free throw line and jumped into the air.

This is a very standard, no-doubt takeoff from the free throw line... a dunk.

Lin Shaojie was flying in the air with a relaxed posture and a calm expression wearing a mask. He was not full of ferocious looks, as if this was a very simple dunk action.

The bent calves and backward long arms bend the entire body into an inverted "C" shape.

When his entire body seemed to be flying as far as the Nile River and began to fall, Lin Shaojie's right hand holding the ball slammed into the basket.

"He... is so strong!"

Lin Shaojie, who perfectly demonstrated his talent by taking off from the free throw line and dunking in actual combat, told everyone in front of the beautiful country audience that he, a yellow man, can also take off from the free throw line and dunk.

And the buttons are very beautiful.

He staggered a bit when he landed. After he regained his balance, Lin Shaojie took off his mask and pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers, then pointed at the camera in front of him and tapped lightly.

Everyone knows that it is a gift he is giving to the audience and fans in front of the TV.

Just because this is an away game.

But soon, the audience burst into warm applause. The Pacers, who started 4-0, seemed to be taking charge thanks to Lin Shaojie's free throw line dunk.

In the studio, Buckley pretended to be having a heart attack and lay down on a chair.

"I felt like I couldn't breathe. Facing Lynn like this, it was too difficult for the Eagles to defeat their opponents. At this time, I thought of something."

Barkley said with difficulty.

"All of us knew he was going to execute the last attack, but we just couldn't guard against it. Don't the Hawks know that Lynn is the core, brain, and engine of the Pacers? How dare they defend the opponent with such a relaxed attitude?

This is the rhythm of losing!"

Throughout most of the first quarter, the Hawks seemed to have been beaten down and were unable to organize an effective offense. Their Teague seemed to be unable to hold the ball for a moment. In turn, Josh, who had the most ball,

He was also doing useless work under Paul's personal protection, relying on his own personal ability to score with difficulty.

Hibbert showed his top talent in the paint, but Pachulia couldn't hold him back, and the rebound completely fell into the hands of the Pacers.

Coach Larry Drew called two timeouts in succession, but neither could save the Hawks from facing the Pacers at home.

"Oh my God, will the Pacers win the first five games in a row if this continues?"

The Pacers' crushing of the Hawks' main force didn't come to an end until the second half of the first quarter, when both sides came on the bench.

At that time, the score had reached 24 to 10 points, and the Pacers led their opponents by 14 points before the main players left the field in the first quarter.
