My basketball vision is different
Chapter 147 They came to see my game
Josh's words of complaint after the game obviously represented the Eagles' feelings.
After all, after losing the game in such a way, I always feel a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.
It's like you're standing in the ring about to have a big fight. Your opponent presses pause and they want to adjust their belt. When you get ready again, your opponent calls timeout again, saying that you didn't wear your braces properly, and you go back and forth a few times.
Every time, my patience is exhausted.
When the serious game begins, you think your opponent will continue to call timeouts, but unexpectedly your opponent comes up and punches you so hard that you lose the game.
Who can be convinced?
Wait until the reporters spread Josh's words to Lin Shaojie's ears.
The latter was being interviewed by reporters in the locker room.
"Lynn, you can obviously defeat your opponent head-on, so why do you choose a tricky method? This will lower your impression in the minds of other players."
“How do I appear to the players?”
Lin Shaojie asked after changing his clothes.
"Is it a monkey that only eats bananas?"
After speaking, Lin Shaojie smiled, but the reporter who interviewed him only felt a little chilly.
Hibbert, who was not far away, lamented that Lin Shaojie had a similar smile that day. He was smiling but not smiling. It was very scary.
"When they themselves suffer injustice, the word 'nigg' will make them furious, but we know very well that good friends will also use it to joke with each other, and these words are provocative among strangers.
taste.
What should you do if you encounter something like this?
Should he stand up and shout a few times, or wave his fists and fight the opponent head-on?
You can't let go of something like this happening to you, but when it's someone else's turn, you're indifferent? Some people even take it for granted and treat it as if they didn't hear it."
Lin Shaojie threw the backpack in his hand to Hibbert, stood up and said to reporters.
"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The stadium is both big and small. The reporters on the scene heard and saw what they heard, and the players also heard and saw it.
If something like this happened to some superstars or players with the same skin color, I believe they would be appeased as soon as possible.
I didn't get angry on the field to give face to the Eagles. I acted according to the rules and no one had any reason to contradict me.
Neither can Josh, unless the league changes the rules, but believe me, no one understands the rules of the league better than me."
As he spoke, Lin Shaojie tapped his temple with his index finger.
"This is a brain that can be admitted to the Ivy League. You can't just regard me as a simple player, a player with strong limbs and a simple mind.
Today I have saved face for the Eagles. The next time I face them, I will let them know what it means to be upright and I am not a player who only knows how to use tricks."
Lin Shaojie walked out of the locker room without looking back, and Hibbert who followed him also looked angry.
Obviously it was the latter who was taller, but under the reporters' lens, Lin Shaojie was full of indomitable momentum at that time, and Hibbert looked like a security guard carrying a bag.
When the Pacers left the National Agricultural Arena, a few Eagles fans outside the bus were still making noise.
"The skinned monkey, the yellow-skinned monkey stole the victory..."
The Pacers players knew that Lin Shaojie was in a bad mood.
But if you want to meet the Eagles in the next round, it will be at least next month.
...
Lin Shaojie himself did not expect that in the previous interview with Li Dacheng, the topic of racial discrimination had been discussed, and it had only been a few days since he had encountered it.
Are you too sensitive?
No, Lin Shaojie knew very well that it was already too late for such a thing to happen until now.
Things that even Lao Bai or Lao Hei could encounter, how could I, a migrant from the East, not encounter them!
What made Lin Shaojie feel uncomfortable was the scheduling of the on-site director. For such things, he could directly cut off the situation with one click, making it seem as if some things happening off the field did not exist. It seemed that as long as it did not interfere with the game on the field.
Apart from the fans in the area near the scene, how many people would know?
What everyone sees more is their own performance on the court.
If it were another person, such as James? Or Kobe? I'm afraid this wouldn't happen.
Maybe after today, some people will question their own scoring methods, such as relying on porcelain to score points, exploiting loopholes in the league's rules, and so on.
Lin Shaojie never speculated on these things with the greatest malice.
Sure enough, although the Pacers won five consecutive games in the regular season, in this away game against the Hawks, Lin Shaojie scored 32 points, second only to Josh Smith, and also had 14 assists and 5 rebounds.
, data of 4 steals and 2 blocks.
At the same time, Josh was given the data of seven turnovers and four fouls.
After five consecutive games, Lin Shaojie, who was expected to make history again, saw a different message this time.
You could hear sporadic sounds before boarding the plane for the return trip, and when the plane landed, the voices of doubt became louder.
Very obvious thing.
When he returned to Indiana, Li Dacheng also flew over from San Antonio and stayed at Lin Shaojie's house.
Looking at the reports in the evening, more focus was placed on the topic of "Whether Lynn's means of winning are bright or not?"
Shaojie Lin relied on foul-making tactics in the second quarter, causing Josh Smith to commit four fouls. This was also the reason for the Hawks' collapse in the third quarter.
Even if the Eagles didn't give up in the fourth quarter, the 25-point gap was not something that could be easily made up.
So everyone's focus seems to be on those few minutes.
It completely interrupted the Eagles' pursuit of points and pushed the opponent's core into the abyss. Is this what a star should do?
Totally a baller, okay?
I don’t know if it’s Josh’s friend or someone connected with the Hawks, but many players have come forward to express their opinions on this matter.
"To score so many points on free throws, I feel..."
"A famous star would never do such a thing..."
"...In the 1990s, such methods would have left him lying on the court, let alone winning..."
"...I don't think he deserves to be endorsed by Jordan. This damages Jordan's reputation..."
Those who commented include players who have entered the league in the new era and some who have retired. Most of these people showed disdain for this matter.
You can even hear a hint of jealousy in the mouths of these people.
After all, there are many people here who are already unable to make ends meet and are living off the "benefit" of the alliance.
The problem is that whatever reputation Jordan or Nike has, it's just business. As long as they can make money, they don't care whether they have a good reputation or a bad reputation. This is a common rule for capitalists.
Just like the "sister-in-law's family", they are famous for their beauty, but have they affected their ability to make money?
Lin Shaojie was disdainful of the comments made by these "irrelevant" and "little people", and even just brushed them off.
However, compared with discrimination against other people, discrimination against people of the same clan and ethnicity is even more chilling.
In overseas media, you can see people using traditional Chinese characters or even simplified Chinese characters to make sarcastic comments. This is the most uncomfortable thing.
When he first participated in the Olympic Games, Lin Shaojie enjoyed a lot of publicity in London. Especially at the ambassador's reception dinner, Lin Shaojie could be said to be the most handsome boy in the audience.
He is better now than before, but what Lin Shaojie saw overseas was nothing but desolation.
Occasionally, a few stood up to refute, but they were all covered up by the comments of this group of people, whether they were people or machines.
Some people don't look at the truth and just follow the old whites and old gangsters in saying things like "Lynn is opportunistic" and "just like the Chinese country, they do whatever it takes to gain interests" and so on. Their butts are so crooked.
Seeing such comments, for some reason, Lin Shaojie thought of the comments he made about Su Zhen in the school forum at that time, saying that he was being manipulated and deliberately wanted to stigmatize.
Just like Lin Shaojie has now become the most powerful rising star player in the league, there will always be people who will look at all this with a critical eye, and any small move will be viewed by them under a magnifying glass.
Just like how fouls were used to score points in that quarter.
"Keyboard warriors can be found everywhere. Their shadows are indispensable at all times and in all countries. They adapt to the wind, say that the wind is like rain, take advantage of opportunities to cause trouble, and even take quotes out of context. They are everywhere missing."
Lying on the big sofa in the free house, drinking the red wine given by the Pacers players when Lin Shaojie moved in, Li Dacheng said slightly drunkenly.
"Xiaojie, don't worry about that. I have a thorough understanding of this world. This is the world of a successful person.
If you succeed, your farts will taste good. If you fail, no matter how reasonable you are, it will be useless. People will think you are just a fart.
So, as long as you continue to win, no one will dare to question it. Be more relaxed. How old are you? It doesn’t matter if you encounter this. Look at Kobe, hasn’t he been through all the difficulties? Who else will go through what happened half a year ago?
Mention, don’t husbands and wives still show affection?”
Lin Shaojie looked at Li Dacheng in the big house, lying on the spacious sofa, holding a bottle of expensive red wine in his hand, his face flushed.
This large house with five bedrooms is comfortable to live in, but usually it is a bit deserted when I am alone.
Although Li Dacheng's appearance made the living room a little messy, it made it a little more lively.
I still remember that when he first moved in, Lin Shaojie just looked around casually. People came to clean it up every day, so Lin Shaojie regarded this place as a hotel, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, lacking a sense of belonging.
Now that time has passed, I have gradually developed some feelings.
The courtyard in front of the door is empty, but I heard that the signature car prepared for me by Mercedes-Benz is ready and will be shipped soon.
You don't have to spend a penny, just open it yourself. Such a good thing is like pie falling from the sky.
BMW is also not slow in moving, but it lags behind Mercedes-Benz, but it will be delivered next month at the latest.
There is also an electric car company from the United States. They have released their latest electric coupe. I heard that they are also contacting me and want to make me their spokesperson.
Lin Shaojie found that if he only relied on himself, these "trivial" things would be too troublesome.
As for finding people to form a team, Meiliguo has it ready, but how to choose a suitable person needs Lin Shaojie to personally check.
Lin Shaojie, who was on the rise in his career, could not waste too much time, and finally decided to look at fate!
As for finding Li Dacheng to form this team, when coach Xie Zhenhe mentioned it, Lin Shaojie rejected it.
Li Dacheng and Green Young Master know very well what kind of character they are. Although there are some pitfalls, they are good friends.
If turning business partners into friends is a sign of being superior to others and a sign of high emotional intelligence; then turning friends into business partners is probably a major failure in life choices.
So Lin Shaojie never considered this matter.
Li Dacheng, who was regarded as a friend, told the truth after drinking. It didn't matter whether he was in a beautiful country or not, and whether what he said was reasonable or not, it kept Lin Shaojie from having no one to talk to.
The next day, Lin Shaojie went out early in the morning and trained with the team again.
Li Dacheng, who got up late, patted his dizzy head. He felt that the hangover was not good.
Looking around Lin Shaojie's big house, Li Dacheng had to say that the Pacers did an impeccable job in this matter.
The greenery around the house facing the river is very good. Even at this time, you can see a lot of green. Although it is a little yellow, there are some evergreen green plants planted around the house, which shows that this is a high-end building.
Community.
The furniture and electrical appliances in the house are all fully equipped. Not only one person, but also a whole family can live in it. The conditions are good!
After packing up, Li Dacheng took the camera and took pictures everywhere, explaining contentedly while taking pictures.
"Hi, hello fans and friends, I am currently in Indianapolis... Yes, this is where Coach Lin lives. The Pacers provide it to their new star. I don't know about other rookies.
Is there such treatment, but Coach Lin’s treatment in the Pacers is definitely the top level among rookies..."
"Yes, you guessed it right. When I arrived in Polis yesterday, I stayed at Director Lin's house. You netizens, don't think about it all day long. It's just me and Director Lin. His family and girlfriend are not here for the time being.
Come here, of course I, the 'warm man', want to come and see him!"
The last interview was sent back and the effect was very good. Of course Li Dacheng will continue to work hard.
When he went to the training center, Li Dacheng didn't take a taxi. Since the distance was less than two kilometers, he just walked all the way.
When passing by a community golf course, I saw an unfamiliar Chinese face holding a camera in his hand.
After learning that this was a reporter who came specifically to interview Lin Shaojie, a group of men who were playing basketball and the girls who were watching enthusiastically took the photo.
"Lynn is the best, he is our top rookie."
"Of course, there's no better guy than Lynn, who's led the Pacers to five straight wins, and my God, it's a perfect script."
"I love Lynn, what about you?"
The black and white people in front of the camera shouted "Love tiger oil!"
The enthusiastic community residents seemed completely different from the people interviewed by the news last night. The two sides seemed to be in different worlds.
Perhaps for the local fans of the Pacers, they only need to know the result. As for the process, they don't care too much.
In fact, there were quite a few fans who watched yesterday's game, but they didn't think there was anything wrong.
If you have no ability and you were cheated and committed a foul, it is because you are not good at studying and you should not blame others.
Is it wrong to do things within the rules?
When you remove the colored glasses and look at that game with some fondness, it is roughly like this.
But after the interview, Li Dacheng just wanted to ask one question.
"Don't you go to school (work)?"
Look at this group of young people who only play when they don't do serious work. Although it is enviable, how do you solve the source of life? Do you want to be hungry and satisfied?
Li Dacheng didn't dare to ask this. Anyway, he had already received the information he wanted. He wanted to hear it, and netizens wanted to read it.
All the way to the training center, after confirming and verifying on the phone, Li Dacheng walked in smoothly.
In the noisy training center, from time to time you can hear the loud friction sound of shoe soles on the court, which echoes throughout the training venue.
After Li Dacheng, who had set up a camera nearby, saw Frank, he quickly held up a small handheld recording device to interview Lin Shaojie's immediate boss.
No one pays more attention to this head coach than the Chinese. He determines Coach Lin's playing time, and no one wants to make him angry.
Li Dacheng's appearance was accompanied by a well-spoken Chinese bird language. Frank looked at the slightly trembling questions from the other party, but still took the initiative to say some nice words.
Of course, he didn’t take the initiative to say it, mainly because Frank really couldn’t fault it.
When faced with a rookie who has led his team to victory in the first five games and even averaged 29 points per game, if Frank continues to find fault, his fellow coaches will probably scold him to death.
"Lynn is a very good player. He is not like ordinary rookies who need an adaptation period. His ability to understand the game, his ability to execute tactics, and especially his ability to adapt to the game are far beyond that of rookies, and even many have rich experience.
Players with match experience.
In the days when Danny (Granger) was away, Lynn played a good role as a dressing room leader. He united everyone and tried to let them exert their full strength...
Although his scoring has been relatively high recently, he still averaged 12 assists per game. I think the Player of the Week award is the best reward for him in recent times..."
Frank's approval made Li Dacheng and Yourong embarrassed. His accent was indeed thick, but he could understand what the other party was saying.
At least in Frank's words, it was officially confirmed by the head coach that Lin Shaojie is a qualified locker room leader. This is also supported by the head coach and higher-ups, which is enough.
The Chinese have always liked that "there are people above who can do things easily." Although this is not a very good thing, are there not many such things overseas?
It's just that they hide it better.
Lin Shaojie on the court does not need to wear a mask during games. During training, he is the busiest player in the game.
The Pacers' hard-trained pick-and-roll tactics require him to cooperate with George Hill and Paul George near the three-point line, whether it is a cross screen or a high screen;
Or David West and Roy Hibbert, both sides supporting each other without the ball in the low post or breaking through and passing the ball, etc.
Lin Shaojie is the most suitable one on the court.
When Lin Shaojie moved to the substitute position and led a group of substitutes to fight with the main force, Lin Shaojie's personal ability became even more outstanding.
His perimeter defense made it difficult for George Hill to move forward. On the other hand, if Lin Shaojie broke through the opponent, he only needed a simple change of direction.
Paul George had to transform into George Hill's nanny and step forward to plug the leak.
Faced with the situation of two-person cooperation, Lin Shaojie's ease even surprised Li Dacheng.
Don't worry about the opponent's excessive movements. Lin Shaojie deliberately made many purposeful passes, which looked very fancy at first glance, such as passing the ball without looking at people, making east attacks and attacking in the west, etc.
But those passes will cause the substitute to catch the ball subconsciously, which is completely different from the kind of passes that only focus on cool movements and ignore teammates. It can even be said that one person has the ball and nine people are panicking.
This is why Frank dared to let go.
Li Dacheng stood on the sidelines, and he was even a little ready to move. He felt that he could receive Lin Shaojie's pass at any time while standing on the court, and then shoot in front of a group of tall men about 1.98 meters tall.
Because many balls just pass through the cracks between people and "run" directly into your arms. You will hug them subconsciously, and then continue to distribute the ball or shoot.
As a point guard, Lin Shaojie relied on repeated training in this situation to slowly determine the core position on the court.
On the other hand, when George Hill led the home team, let alone flashy passes, regular passes were not dared to be done in front of Lin Shaojie. After all, he was the absolute main force of the Pacers last season. Facing such a young monster
Players, what can you do?
Li Dacheng also saw a face of the same yellow race not far away, doing similar work.
When the two sides came into contact during the lunch break, Li Dacheng knew.
Feeling: This is a Chinese person who is engaged in data analysis for the Pacers. He is currently collecting and analyzing data on Lin Shaojie's skills and so on. He wants to help the coach and provide further technical guidance in a targeted manner.
From morning to afternoon, Li Dacheng gained a lot this day.
When the Pacers went to play away from home the next day, Li Dacheng stayed in Polis and started sorting out information. He felt that it was right to come to the beautiful country this time.
There is no easier job than this.
...
After resting for a night, Lin Shaojie set out on the journey again the next day.
This time I revisited my hometown and came to Minnesota.
At the target center, before warming up, Lin Shaojie saw Pekovic and Kirilenko who were familiar with the Timberwolves.
It's only been a month since the preseason, and both sides feel a little different when they meet again.
The Timberwolves are still the same. Golden boy Rubio continues to miss due to injury. Not only that, Love also has a relapse of an old injury and is sitting on the bench.
Lin Shaojie, who "hurriedly" came to the position, became the Pacers' real leg, and other players became the hanging accessories attached to them.
Sometimes Kirilenko and Pekovic were discussing the boy from China when they had private dinners.
Just like the old big brother looking at the country of China, he watched his former little brother grow up all of a sudden, and just like that, the other party surpassed him in a "swoosh".
When you look at the other person again, you only see their back.
The last time Kirilenko Kidd read a news report, the national GDP of the fighting nation seemed to be as much as that of a few provinces of China. Some economic experts even said that if it continues like this, it won’t take long for China to
A country may have one province that can equal a whole nation of fighting nations.
Kirilenko didn't even dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it, mainly because it was too magical, even more magical than Lin Shaojie's achievements in the NBA.
If the Pacers win this game again and win six consecutive games, the NBA has not had such a strong start in at least ten years.
Lin Shaojie is going to continue to be popular!
Pekovic looked at Lin Shaojie who was greeting them in front of him. Before the preseason game, the Timberwolves were all:
"Who's Lynn?"
"Who is Lynn?"
"Oh, it's this year's flower show!"
Words like that.
They are all Timberwolves veterans who said this when they met the Pacers in the preseason. Now a month has passed, do you still need to ask these people, who is Lynn?
In Pekovic's eyes, ever since he was knocked unconscious that time, the entire Timberwolves team has remembered that young man with a tough style.
But after five rounds of competition, when talking about rookies, "Lynn" is an unavoidable topic.
The entire Timberwolves team laughed to death for Cousins' stupid act of provoking Lin Shaojie.
Being able to knock Pekovic unconscious in front of them, does Cousins think he is more powerful than Pekovic?
Let's look at the record that that little guy has achieved with the Pacers. Don't look at the sarcastic remarks made by some people. Everyone in the Timberwolves really admires them. After all, not every team has an undefeated record so far.
What's more, in one game, they faced the Spurs with a full roster and scored 51 points on the opponent, so they won the best in the Eastern Conference based on their ability.
Some people should stop making sarcastic remarks. Of course, the Timberwolves players do not refer to LeBron. LeBron has never been the kind of player who would do anything for his reputation, right?
"Lynn, you're not going to deal with me like you did against the Eagles in the last game, right?"
Pekovic felt that with his technical strength, if Lin Shaojie used the method he used against Josh Smith to deal with him, let alone four fouls, he would be popular after two or three times.
At that time, no matter whether he had eaten with the opponent or drank wine (milk), he would definitely do it again. Pekovic, who had already been suspended, did not want to do this again.
"I'm a serious person, what would I do?"
Lin Shaojie felt that the friendship between him and Pekovic was over, but the other party didn't believe him.
Can normal people do that kind of thing?
Lin Shaojie himself was not happy with the game, he would pause at every turn, it was so boring.
After the game started, as expected, both sides were familiar with each other, except that Love was missing.
Pekovic, who had said hello in advance, was still cautious because he was really afraid of the kid's mental behavior.
Lin Shaojie, who was standing in the first position, organized the connection honestly and broke inside without picking up the ball.
The two sides fought back and forth in the first quarter. Lin Shaojie, as the most intimidating player of the Pacers, made the Timberwolves, who had a record of previous encounters, not dare to relax at all against him.
In the Target Center auditorium, "Golden Boy" Rubio and Love, two brothers in distress, sat on the sidelines watching the game.
Seeing Ridnour carefully guarding the Pacers' No. 13 player, Rubio asked curiously.
"Is he... really powerful?"
Rubio has been injured for a long time, and his lack of the No. 1 position has also made the Timberwolves' offense a little messy. However, after the start of the regular season, the Timberwolves' results are not bad. They have now won three games, which is the most recent victory. Rare in recent years.
"How should I put it? I don't think he is giving his all. If he beats us in one quarter, he will sit on the court for a long time. I even suspect that he is deliberately playing time to get more game experience."
Le Fu said helplessly, then looked at the other person's expression about to make a move.
"Ricky, I don't think you need to compare with him. You two are not walking the same route."
It is strange to say that the Timberwolves now have the majority of white players, and there are three players on the court, including Pekovic and Kirilenko, including Ridnour.
In addition to Rubio and Love off the court, there are five white players. Looking at the entire American professional basketball team, it is considered a strange team.
Looking at the Pacers again, it was completely dark except for Lin Shaojie.
"You haven't played against him, and he looks very thin, but his strength is far beyond our knowledge. People like Pekovic can't take advantage in front of him. If it weren't for his height, I think He can play from the one to the five position."
"So strong?"
Rubio is a little unconvinced. After all, it seems that Lin Shaojie's appearance is not much different from his own, and until the first quarter of the game, he hasn't looked too impressive. He is just more stable, much more stable than the average rookie.
"I thought it was strange at first, but after playing with him for a few rounds, I realized that that kid is a monster."
After saying that, Love said thiefly: "Have you seen the video of Lynn and Cousins fighting in the locker room?"
"Of course, the players should have seen it, right?"
"If you think about it, Cousins weighed so much and was thrown out like a child in his hands. His strength is at least at the level of a power forward."
Love said with envy: "When a player with guard speed and forward strength appears on the court, what is the difference between that guy and LeBron?"
Rubio thinks about it, after all, it is only once every few years that a monster like LeBron appears on the court.
Although James' skills seem to be far inferior to those of Volute, his body's static and dynamic talents, as well as the most important attributes of resistance to sex, are almost full. Could it be that Lynn will be the next James?
Lin Shaojie faced Ridnour on the court and sent out four assists in succession. His opponent's defense against him was not very good. When the first quarter was off, he looked at the status of his teammates. Lin Shaojie whispered in Frank's ear. said.
"We are sure to win this game. Without Love inside, they have much less restrictions on us. We can combine inside and outside to take what we have."
Frank was filled with joy after hearing this.
If the Pacers win this victory, it will be the start of a six-game winning streak, and they will be more likely to win the best coach.
Frank also has a dream. Sitting in this position, there is no honor more worthy of striving for than the best coach.
As for Lin Shaojie's words, Frank understands that no matter how much he sees off the court, it will never be as real as what he sees after playing on the court.
In most cases, if there is no "explosion" situation, Lin Shaojie can know the strength gap between them by helping each other.
This is the confidence of a strong playoff team.
For example, in the previous game against the Spurs, the Pacers couldn't beat them in terms of physical strength. If they didn't attack with all their strength, with the Spurs' strength, the Pacers would lose nothing.
This is just like the Lakers who had nothing to watch except Kobe a few years ago. They relied on Kobe's hard work to win the victory over the Spurs.
Wherever you ask Popovich to reason, you know that the opponent is going to score, but you are unable to stop him.
Off the court, Lin Shaojie was still planning whether he would clock out in the third quarter, end the battle with a three-pointer, or continue to practice his low-post skills.
Pekovic and Kirilenko are just a bunch of people trying to gain experience, and they can play as long as they can.
"Xiaojie, Xiaojie!"
Lin Shaojie, who was still watching the game on the bench, suddenly heard a familiar voice and was very surprised!
I have heard this voice for more than ten years, and I couldn't be more familiar with it.
Lin Shaojie turned his head and looked over in disbelief, and at a glance he saw three people waving to him in the audience.
Although the man in the middle is wearing a fairly luxurious suit, he is obviously not used to it, and there are some wrinkles on it, which makes him feel inappropriate.
The skin that originally looked sallow has become much fairer, and the increased weight has made the cheeks not as dry as before.
At this time, the eyes looking at Lin Shaojie were even more full of love.
Look at the middle-aged woman next to him, who looks like Lin Shaojie, is wearing decent clothes, and keeps waving and shouting Lin Shaojie's name.
"Dad, Mom! Teacher!"
If there are thousands of languages in the world, the shouts of father and mother are almost the same.
Lin Shaojie's excitement was unprecedented, and the players on the bench were even more excited.
"Lynn, are those your parents?"
"Well! They came to watch my game! And one of them was my former coach."
The director, who noticed that something was going on here, cut the camera, and soon the figures of Lin Congrong, his wife, and Xie Zhenghe appeared on the big screen of the stadium.
Lin Congrong waved to his son to sit down and continue the game.
Their coming to the beautiful country was premeditated. Xie Zhenghe felt that at this time, Lin Shaojie was about to enter the so-called "rookie wall" stage.
In addition, he recently discovered that there was something going on here. Xie Zhenghe could tell at a glance that it must be another bullshit discrimination problem encountered by American professional basketball players.
So Xie Zhenghe brought the old couple to see his beloved disciple in advance.
Lin Shaojie, who felt a little restless on the bench for the first time, always wanted to look back for one more look, but he knew that the coach and his parents came here because they definitely wanted to see a perfect version of himself.
Rather than a child who has grown up but is still attached to his parents.
Lin Shaojie suppressed his inner restlessness and subconsciously tightened the mask on his face.
"Lynn, are you ready to play?"
Frank asked.
"If possible, I can try it with the substitutes in the second quarter. Maybe we will have an unexpected surprise."
At the end of the first quarter, the away Pacers were actually two points behind their opponents with a score of 19 to 21.
Mainly because at the last moment, the players who came on the bench were unable to suppress Derrick Williams on the opposite side, allowing the opponent to hit a few good shots.
Seeing Lin Shaojie come on the court in the second quarter, Xie Zhenghe quickly greeted Lin Congrong and his wife.
"Old Lin, we're in for a treat. Come and watch his game in person today. This kid won't be able to do it unless he shows off some unique skills."
Look at the huge noise made by the fans and then look at this huge stadium.
Lin Congrong and his wife felt as if they were in a dream. The two people, whose jet lag had not completely reversed, felt like they had been on a plane all the way.
If they hadn't slept before coming to the stadium, the two of them might not have been able to hold on.
But no matter how tired I am, I can't resist the moment I see my son, in a foreign country and tens of thousands of miles away.
It clearly feels like yesterday I was still at the age where I was carrying my schoolbag and shouting "Mom, I'm going to school", but today I have grown into such a tall man, struggling hard among those old black men who look a little scary.
At first, the old couple who were hiding in the audience just watched their son secretly. Although they did not understand the court culture of the NBA, the attention their son received in the team and the enthusiastic interaction with his teammates and even opponents
, which can put the old couple at ease.
My son did not suffer hardship in a foreign country.
I heard Xie Zhenghe and the coach talk about the issue of racial discrimination. Mother Lin couldn't sleep all night. All Lin Congrong thought about was some bad scenes. How about his son being pushed around during training, like...
An introverted child who was bullied in school.
There are other more serious insults.
In addition, the family made a lot of money, so Lin Congrong and his wife subconsciously wanted to take their son home.
Seeing a person who is seven feet tall and weighs more than 110 in real life, it really feels like a giant spirit god has come to the world. Damn your basketball dream.
Fortunately, everything I saw was reassuring. The group of old black players who looked a little scary were quite well-behaved in front of their son, just like some domestic fierce dogs. They looked scary, but they were more obedient to their owners.
Anyway, in the eyes of Lin Congrong and his wife, that's probably the case.
Lin Shaojie came on the scene in the second quarter. Except for George Hill, who was the main player, the other players were mainly substitutes.
On the contrary, the Timberwolves on the opposite side are still the main players.
Everyone understands the meaning. As long as you, Mr. Lin, are here, we will fight to the death with you.
The premise is that you don't do those stupid things and let us foul out early.
Lin Shaojie, who mainly plays the No. 1 position, no longer has the composure he used to have. He even jumps when dribbling, like Crawford.
His whole body exuded a feeling of "I am the most beautiful in the whole audience". Kirilenko on the opposite side looked at Lin Shaojie, whose eyes were burning with fire and was ready to try, and then looked at each other with Pekovic in tacit understanding.
During the previous break, they already knew that Lin Shaojie's parents came to the target center to watch the game.
The Timberwolves players suddenly felt the pressure.
According to Kirilenko, Chinese people attach great importance to family ties, which is a super buff over having a girlfriend come to watch the game live.
No one wants to show a perfect self in front of their parents.
Sure enough, when Lin Shaojie came on stage, even his style of painting changed.
Frank, who was sitting in the audience, looked at the young man who still had a green and tender face. He was such an enviable young man!
Lin Shaojie's elegant dribbling style gave Ridnour, who was guarding him, a premonition.
"left?"
"Or the right?"
Lin Shaojie, who obviously had to play by himself while others got out of his way, enjoyed the absolute ball rights benefits of being a "ball tyrant".
The space that had been opened was full of loopholes in front of Lin Shaojie's eyes, and Ridnor did not dare to step forward. He knew that as long as he stepped forward, with Lin Shaojie's speed, passing him would be as easy as crossing the main road in the early morning.
In front of Huaguo TV, the audience also learned that Lin had guided his parents to watch the game. At this time, watching Lin Shaojie come on the field early in the second quarter, they could not understand it more clearly because they share the same roots.
That is the mentality of a child who "gets good grades and wants to show off in front of his parents."
After working on it for a long time, Director Lin is still a child!
Yes, that's just a child.
For other people, this age would be just after entering college, but for athletes, some in gymnastics or even diving, it is an age on the verge of retirement.
Some people experience the hardships of the world prematurely. Behind the flowers and applause is the hard work and sweat;
Some people are already at the victory point of life the moment they are born, with a lifetime of sunshine and brilliance, and even struggle is full of the flavor of chicken soup.
The fans watched Coach Lin on the screen, using a seemingly simple change of direction to get past Ridnour's defense. When he broke in, he faced Kirilenko, who was taller than him.
Turn your back and cross step to give yourself enough space.
"Today, no one can stop me... just because my parents came to watch my game!"
Lin Shaojie was gliding in the air, and Kirilenko could clearly see the determination in his eyes. This was a goal that he could not and could not stop.
Pekovic on the side wanted to defend, but was afraid that Lin Shaojie would send a second pass at the last moment.
Mahinmi, who came on the bench, was also a big man nearly seven feet tall. How could he not score when he passed the ball to the basket?
As if gliding in the air for a minute, Lin Shaojie flashed past Kirilenko. Finally, just as he was about to fall, the ball-grabbing hand hit him hard.
"Clang!"
The basketball hit the basket, with such a beautiful combination of elegance and heaviness. The basketball that landed on the ground was like a restless elf, bouncing back and forth on the ground.
The Timberwolves fans watched this picturesque goal and applauded unconsciously.
In the audience, I watched my son grab the basket and swing for a while before landing.
Lin Congrong's lips were trembling with excitement. Although Lin's mother couldn't understand, her son's last moments were played in slow motion from several angles on the big screen.
Just like the jungle of giants with red dots and muscles standing among the green bushes, a nimble elf like Lin Shaojie appeared.
That's her son!
When the Timberwolves attack, fans can immediately see the gap between the two sides. The difference in ball-handling styles between the two sides is huge.
He is like a magician on the court with an elegant style. Even though he looks like an ebony throat, he can still control his elegant temperament;
One was just mechanically playing, and the basketball in his hands was like a hot potato. He couldn't wait to throw it out after halftime, because that elegant guy came over, and no one wanted to be one of his steals.
So far in the league, the "thief never misses" Lin Shaojie has made steals in every game. This average number has reached an astonishing 4. Even when facing a mature team like the Spurs, Lin Shaojie has recorded 3 steals. Just ask.
Who else is there in your entire alliance?
The Timberwolves players know this all too well, not to mention Ridnour, a shorter and lighter player.
Lin Shaojie's reputation of "bullying the good" is well-known among the players he has played against. He relies on his height and wingspan to create a strong opponent, and he can be very ruthless.
Who can resist?
Who dares to resist?
Ridnour didn't dare anyway.
Rubio, who was watching all this on the sidelines, had long lost his relaxed demeanor. Just now, Lin Shaojie passed two people under the basket, and then slid and dunked with his physical fitness. He already knew what it was like.
And gifted.
Looking at the cautious look of Ridnour when Lin Shaojie was defending, Rubio knew that when he came back, it would be difficult to open up against such a player.
Kirilenko, who received the pass inside, passed the basketball to Pekovic, who turned around and hit a jumper.
Lin Shaojie, who quickly counterattacked, did not stop, and after receiving the pass, he went straight to the inside of the Timberwolves.
Even if the substitute could keep up with him, there was no way to help him. He used his fastest speed, so that Pekovic, whose position was a little unstable, could only raise his hands in helplessness.
"This fast break took up to four seconds."
Xie Zhenghe said in a low voice, from receiving the ball to dribbling the ball into the inside line, Lin Shaojie, who didn't even jump this time, relied on his speed advantage to advance rapidly.
Kirilenko even helped defend inside.
Facing two tall white players, Lin Shaojie actually squeezed out a little space with a back-up single, and then followed up with a fake move of worshiping Buddha, which made Kirilenko jump up.
Lin Shaojie, on the other hand, instantly lowered his body and ducked under the armpits of the two experts. After one step, he flew into the air and completed a high-altitude layup.
The whole movement is as smooth as soap, and the soft touch when laying up is particularly charming.
It's like Meng Zhangfei is doing embroidery!
Lin Shaojie stood under the basket and looked at his parents, as well as Xie Zheng and his coach who stood up excitedly.
Then again in front of the camera, Lin Shaojie pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers together.
But this time, Lin Shaojie did not face his parents. The entire audience saw that Lin Shaojie only performed half of his exclusive moves, and they started to boo.
Helpless, Lin Shaojie had no choice but to point his fingers at the fans, eliciting cheers from the fans.
The fight was nothing, but after the fight he and Pekovic became good friends and sat down to eat together, which made Timberwolves fans have a favorable impression of Lin Shaojie.
In the second quarter, Lin Shaojie, who came on as a substitute, had an exchange of blows with the Timberwolves in the first half. Lin Shaojie seemed to have transformed into an offensive kaleidoscope, showing various techniques such as backing up and changing directions in front of the body in and outside the paint area.
The Timberwolves insiders were screaming.
Lin Shaojie, who never committed a foul to his opponent, relied on his dexterity to evade his opponent's defense.
Lin Shaojie, who has successively scored through breakthroughs and even scored assists, has already beaten the Timberwolves to a crawl. His personal ability, field control ability, and rhythmic ability have been perfectly demonstrated.
At this time, Lin Shaojie had already told all the fans in front of the TV that I was disgusting the Eagles fans by doing that. It wasn't because I couldn't do it, but because I did it on purpose. What can you do to me?
In the second half of the game, Lin Shaojie transferred the No. 1 position to George Hill and took up the scoring position without the ball.
The players and fans at the scene realized how cruel Lin Shaojie was when he was not tasked with controlling the ball on the court.
The extremely long movement completely disrupted the Timberwolves' formation. After halftime, Lin Shaojie, who could pass by anyone at any time, made the players chasing him unable to resist and pursue him.
Near the three-point line, whether it is one step or even two steps away from the line, it is his shooting range.
The top and flanks are more like blind spots with no projection.
When the three-point shooting rate exceeds 80%, no matter how high the Timberwolves' scoring efficiency is, they are gradually pulled away.
Kirilenko has given up on inside defense, and Pekovic plans to make up defense at any time.
But facing the fiery Lin Shaojie, what can the Timberwolves say?
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Shua..."
Except for one shot that hit the basket in the middle, the Timberwolves tried to counterattack, but were stopped halfway by Lin Shaojie. Continuous outside goals made the score difference widen in the second quarter.
With a score of 36 to 16 in a single quarter, the Timberwolves simply couldn't handle Lin Shaojie's outside attack.
Rubio in the audience was stunned.
"Is this kid's projection so strong?"
"I suspect his outside ability is better than the Thunder's Durant!"
Love added from the side.
Across the court, sitting opposite them, Xie Zhenghe's hands were trembling and his whole body was trembling.
Lin Congrong and his wife watch the fun, their son, and the glory. As a coach, what he looks at is technique, ability, and every bit of performance.
Not only compared with when he first entered campus last year, but also compared with the Olympic period a few months ago, Lin Shaojie's scoring ability now is at an explosive level.
He might be afraid when his hand feels hot, no matter how hard he casts.
In the first half of the second quarter, I personally scored 9 points, and with a few weird passes, my teammates and the Timberwolves exchanged blows. However, in the second half, they fired at any time and anywhere. It was nothing for two people to attack each other. The opponent was so angry that he almost had to go three.
I was double-teamed personally.
Is it really like the legend says that there is a Reggie Miller inside that kid's body?
But Miller is not so cruel.
Lin Shaojie, with the projection button turned on, has already extended his combat area to two steps beyond the three-point line. What do you want others to do?
Do you want to continue double-teaming?
The Pacers' substitutes are not vegetarians.
In the second quarter, Lin Shaojie made six of seven three-pointers and once again scored 27 points in a single quarter. He was only one goal away from his personal single-quarter scoring limit of 29 points.
Xie Zhenghe, who was so happy watching it, just wanted to stand on the court and shout loudly.
"This is my apprentice, my apprentice Xie Zhenghe!"
