My basketball vision is different
Chapter 151 Not a Simple Defender
As a former Hawks assistant, Mike Woodson took over as the interim head coach in February after Mike D'Antoni left, and became a permanent coach in May.
Woodson's permanent appointment has completely ended the possibility of famous coaches such as "Zen Master" Phil Jackson settling in New York.
In fact, given the character of New York boss James Dolan, why would he spend such a large salary to hire Jackson?
Making money is New York's top priority, stars are commodities, coaches?
Just enough!
For Woodson, being able to be the head coach in a big city like New York is an enviable job no matter what, but the pressure that comes with it is beyond normal.
After having players like Anthony, plus Stoudemire and Chandler, and players like Kidd who can use their spare energy, there are also Jr. Smith and Rasheed Wallace sitting on the bench.
Players like Marcus Camby.
At first, Woodson felt lucky, but as the season progressed, Woodson also discovered problems with the team.
Jason Kidd's sword is indeed young, but no matter how old the sword is, it can't be used to death. At most, half a game is enough.
But there are two teams with and without Kidd.
When the old basketball player was around, the Knicks played like a strong team in the playoffs. There was actually a tacit understanding between him and Anthony, which is so rare.
Kidd's presence is like lubricating this team that is full of clockwork. Of course, the biggest source of strength still comes from Anthony.
Since returning from the Olympics, with Kidd in place, Anthony has seemed like a new person and started to defend. Especially the last time he played against the Heat, Anthony's efforts to defend was the key to the Knicks' victory.
Woodson knew that Kidd's presence forced Anthony to share the ball when attacking and work harder on defense. Kidd's performance off the court inspired this player who once disdained defense.
This is great news for himself and the Knicks.
But when Kidd came off the court, the ball once again returned to Anthony's hands. Between him and other players, everyone felt that this was just a strong team in the regular season.
Jr. can sometimes enjoy the ball as the sixth man, but that's about it.
Looking at the information in hand, Woodson clearly saw a strong team in the playoffs.
Walkers parachute into New York.
This battle has almost become a hot topic recently.
New York, which plays at home, has only lost one game so far, and the Pacers, who play on the road, are even more exaggerated, setting a new record for the American NBA in ten years, with the winning streak reaching 10 games.
Woodson also didn't expect that he thought Linsanity was the pinnacle of yellow guards in the American professional basketball, and the outbreak period would be over in a month.
Although New York ultimately failed to sign him, allowing the Rockets to take away Lin Kuangsan, Woodson did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.
But looking at the information in his hands, Woodson didn't feel any relief, and the weight became heavier and heavier.
"Who can restrict the number 13 overall pick?"
This is no longer just a problem that New York will face, but a problem that the entire Eastern Conference team and even the entire league must consider.
In the hands of every coach, they have to think about this issue.
"If you let Lynn on the court, then you will only get a defeat, there is no other possibility."
Why do you say this? Because the Spurs used their own iron and blood to prove that his failure was not a misunderstanding, but the opponent's strength.
As long as the rookie is given a chance, even if it only lasts for a short period of time, Lin Shaojie will use his explosive scoring method to defeat his opponent in one period.
Except for the Spurs, there are teams that are strong in offense and weak in defense, and there are teams that are weak in offense and strong in defense. They all suffered a big loss from that player.
So Woodson is now thinking about who should guard the Pacers' No. 13 overall pick.
Should we send one or two?
Fans in New York City are very wealthy. When the Knicks perform poorly, watching the game is not the most important thing. They don't mind being able to applaud their opponents or watch a gorgeous show.
This is a group of fans who appear to be disloyal and very picky.
Any star who arrives in New York must be prepared to be criticized. Ewing back then, or the once popular Linsanity, or even Anthony now.
In addition, the city's business atmosphere is too strong, and the bosses don't care about the record, so it is difficult to attract truly powerful stars.
It is really rare to have a star in Anthony's prime.
It's like a luxury product with a gorgeous appearance, high price, great for saving face, but of no use.
In addition, Stoudemire is still recuperating due to knee surgery like the Pacers' Danny Granger. As for when he will return, Woodson has no idea.
Without such players, Woodson has one less ace in his hand.
The Pacers' Granger is absent, and Paul George can take over. What about New York? Who can replace Stoudemire.
Rasheed Wallace?
Marcus Camby?
Or Steve Novak?
Thinking of this, Woodson shook his head.
The center has Tyson Chandler, which is definitely the advantage of the Knicks. The Pacers' Roy Hibbert is a softie, and everyone knows this.
Anthony at the small forward position can easily overpower Paul George. The former has far more experience than the latter.
Power forward... Thinking of David West in the Pacers, this guy is definitely difficult to deal with. If Stoudemire is there, Woodson will not worry at all, but now, other players seem to be
Can't stand it.
Guard... The Pacers' current shooting guard is George Hill. His defense is really good. Facing the Knicks' Felton, he will probably be blown away, but the two sides are just in a rhythm of mutual blows.
After all, he can switch to the point guard position at any time. After all, the Pacers have a No. 13 who is willing to plug leaks for others. This is a very rare thing.
Just like the code of conduct of beautiful Chinese people, I have done my things, but don't expect me to do your things.
That's what the Chinese are bad at. They are nosy and don't have martial ethics. How many times has that No. 13 risked everything for victory? Especially in the last few games, the Pacers have obviously been weak and have abruptly brought the team from the abyss of defeat.
Pulled out.
How abominable.
Thinking about the position of the third overall pick on the 13th, this is Woodson's biggest headache.
No matter how powerful Kidd’s role is, regardless of his age, it’s okay if that young man respects the elderly and loves the young.
But after so many long competitions, the name of "oppressing the good" has never been seen less.
Those who are shorter than him, those whose wingspan is shorter than his, those who are not as strong as him, those who are older than him, and those who do not have strong endurance, all of them have not been "military trained" by him.
When you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and when you are beaten, you have to stand up.
Where is that boy bad?
Carter is also quite old. After all, a well-known player in the era of the top four shooting guards had three blocks on his head. Is this what a human does?
How many times have those guys stolen the ball as soon as they got it in their own backcourt without even touching it?
These are all disgusting things that cannot be put on the table.
Two people on the New York team, Anthony and Chandler, were deeply disgusted by this. After they returned from the Olympics, they wanted to teach that guy a lesson.
But now that the game was going on, when Woodson asked those two people again, the two old basketball players admitted that the rookies now are not the rookies they were back then. They don't follow any rules. They become the boss of the locker room after joining the team.
He won't let go of the ball.
Is this challenging the league's default rules?
But they had to admit the pressure that kid put on them. Unless they were on the same page, if New York wanted to win at home, the first priority was how to arrange that guy. This was the biggest headache.
Anthony himself found it troublesome.
The key to the problem is that no one on the back line can press that guy.
From time to time, Anthony feels like he has met a younger version of Kobe, who also has no moral ethics and relies on his own personal ability to bully the good.
There is a problem with the back line, and Anthony doesn't want to dribble the ball through half court by himself.
During the Olympics, that kid made a very bad impression on him, and Chandler fully agreed with him.
Woodson, who couldn't think of a way, could only hope that the young people would perform abnormally. In addition, the Pacers' recent performance seems to be reaching the limit. Even if there is a super star, you can overturn the overall combat power and be better.
Great New York?
...
Coach Xie Zhenghe returned to China after just a few days in Indiana. The game at Jiangnan University had already begun, so he, the head coach, still took a break from his busy schedule.
The master and apprentice said goodbye at the airport, not knowing when they would see each other next.
Lin Shaojie’s reluctance to let go of Xie Zhenghe can still be seen. No matter how strong the guy is on the court, he is still a child who has not grown up in life...
After seeing off Coach Xie and looking at Li Dacheng holding a camera, Lin Shaojie asked.
"Can it be deleted?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Li Dacheng said proudly: "This is what Coach Xie told me specifically. As your portable reporter, I will always record these bits and pieces. It will be very interesting to put them together in the future."
I waited outside the airport for a while, watching the planes rising or landing.
Life is like a train that never stops. Some people get on and others get off. Coach Xie, I am afraid that he will be in and out of this train of his life many times until... he can no longer knock it out.
The "gate" of Lin Shaojie's train!
Lin Shaojie looked back and took his parents for a checkup in a foreign country.
Although the public hospitals here are a bit tricky, as long as the private hospitals are willing to spend money, there is no problem.
The equipment and medical staff can make you feel the beauty of life.
The society built by money makes you feel at home and welcome to come again.
The result was similar to what was done in the imperial capital. Although he didn't know the final cost, Lin Congrong still complained that his son was spending money indiscriminately, knowing full well that it was an old problem that could not be cured and could not kill people. What was he spending the unjust money on?
"The money has already been spent. It's useless no matter how much you say. Anyway, you can take the opportunity to have a good rest here."
Lin Shaojie's suggestion is quite good, but the old couple still felt a little bit fresh at first, but as time went by, their son was not at home, and they were surrounded by foreigners who looked strange to them. If I had known this, it would be better to go to the Chinese community
I live in a place that at least looks good.
But when Lin Shaojie came to the beautiful country, Xie Zhenghe told him, if you have the opportunity, go to a high-end community, then go to a high-end community. Do you know what is the most hurtful thing for Chinese people who go abroad?
It was not stolen or robbed by those street gangsters, or bullied by old whites and old blacks, but deceived by my own compatriots.
That's the most sad thing is that Xie Zhenghe came out to speak out and forbade Lin Shaojie from going there.
There are definitely good people, and there are many of them, but I am afraid of those who do dirty things under the guise of similar people. There is no way to guard against thieves. Even going out to "play" and the like is not recommended by this teacher.
Find Chinese people.
Lin Shaojie's eyes widened when he first heard about it. His feelings for Coach Xie were so exposed, how hurt he was.
So Lin Shaojie listened. He understood the principle of far away fragrance and close smell. Besides, this is a place to work. Who knows where he will be ten years from now.
The place where he lives now is quite good, the environment is suitable, and Lin Shaojie himself is not a lively person, so his parents have given up. Helping Lin Shaojie with various things in the yard every day is also Lin's mother's old profession.
After Lin Shaojie was busy with trivial matters, he left for New York with the team.
When we arrived at the home court of the Knicks, we looked at this bustling metropolis. We looked at this city that had been destroyed so many times in the movie and then reborn so many times.
Even the Pacers players seemed a little excited.
Most of these are millionaires or even multi-millionaires, and they are also young people. How could they not like these bustling metropolises?
Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks, is indeed a basketball mecca. The location is very good. Although the facilities look a bit old, they are well maintained.
The team with the highest market value in the US professional basketball has such a market value without relying on the team's record. The annual ticket revenue alone is over 100 million U.S. dollars. Relying on the "dismal" record every year, they even hoard a lot of money.
star.
More importantly, the home fans are very "hospitable," which makes the Knicks the visiting team's favorite stadium. After all, there are too many players who want to become famous here.
As long as you can contribute wonderful performances, many people will become the heroes of this stadium.
But it is a pity that so far, there are not many stars who can enjoy this kind of treatment. Among the current players, they are Kobe, Wade, Rose, James, etc.
During the warm-up before the game, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to say hello to Anthony and Chandler, who were on the opposite side. After all, they were also old acquaintances in the Olympics. They performed very well as brothers on paper.
In the "VIP" seats next to the court, groups of stars enjoyed special privileges, taking photos with Anthony and other players.
Lin Shaojie, the popular fried chicken, is certainly no exception.
"Lynn, although you performed well, you will not win."
After the front-foot photo was taken, Spike Lee waved a small fist at Lin Shaojie. The old guy is still trying to make his presence felt despite his age.
Under Anthony's recommendation, Lin Shaojie, who was communicating with Kidd, acted like a little fanboy, talking nonsense about "I grew up watching your passing" when he suddenly heard Spike Lee say,
Lin Shaojie turned around and responded in a friendly manner.
"I came to Madison with the heart of a pilgrim. I will also show my talents. Let's take life and death lightly. If you don't accept it, we will do it."
Spike Lee listened to the somewhat stiff translation.
"Okay boy No. 13, I'm looking forward to your performance."
Spike Lee sat back down with a proud expression.
With a smile on his face, Lin Shaojie turned his head and continued to express his admiration for Kidd.
"Lynn, I won't be fooled. Anthony has told me to be careful of your little tricks."
Patting Lin Shaojie on the shoulder, Kidd said after listening to his opponent's compliments.
The icing is accepted and the cannonball is returned.
Lin Shaojie, who was walking back, glanced at Anthony with a resentful look. Sure enough, the old football ruffian was not a good person.
But now that we’ve said that, let’s see you on the court.
Both sides started their own warm-ups.
Hibbert stood in the paint area and pretended to defend. Lin Shaojie just stood in front of him casually, but Hibbert did not push Lin Shaojie.
George Hill threw a basketball, and Lin Shaojie grabbed the ball in the air with one hand. The basketball fell into his hands like an obedient child. He raised his other hand to block Hibbert's steal.
The star fans on the sidelines expressed warm applause for Lin Shaojie's cool catching gesture.
The main thing is that the movements look freehand and natural, plus the three-dimensional face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and the seemingly thin body with clear muscles.
Under the background of a group of old black men, I instantly felt that the people around No. 13 were low-spirited.
Even though he clearly knew that it was an oriental face, the feeling of heartbeat came out in an instant, the kind that instantly attracted all the light when he appeared, and the people around him seemed to dim all of a sudden.
Lin Shaojie, who was leaning half sideways, leaned on Hibbert and feinted back with his right shoulder. Hibbert, who was defending behind him, subconsciously wanted to turn, but soon realized that this was a fake move, even if his center of gravity was only for a moment.
The adjustment is not visible at all from the outside.
But Lin Shaojie turned around in an instant and passed Hibbert. The latter raised his hands as if surrendering and froze in place.
Lin Shaojie, who turned around in an instant, rushed to the basket in two steps, jumped high, and completed the offense with an easy and elegant "lay" basket.
The fans in the VIP seats were whistling. They thought this "performance" was great, and Hibbert, that softie, cooperated very well on the court.
In everyone's eyes, Hibbert is like a wooden stake, obviously the younger brother of No. 13, the kind who doesn't even dare to stretch out his hand.
They didn't know clearly that it wasn't that Hibbert didn't want to defend, but that Lin Shaojie's movements were too confusing, as if he knew which side his center of gravity was on.
If the defender stands still, Lin Shaojie, who is half-turned, will take advantage of the situation to complete the pass; if he turns and shifts his center of gravity, the opponent's core strength can quickly adjust and complete the pass again from the opposite direction.
In short, when faced with Lin Shaojie's post-up play, the Pacers, including Paul and David West, said it was difficult to guard against him.
If you give up one step, it would be too easy. Lin Shaojie can easily take off and complete the shot by turning around and taking a step back.
...
In order to match the boss's performance, Hibbert pretended to be sluggish, which made the Knicks players dismissive.
In their eyes, this is a clown trying to show off his master's greatness. This is obviously what a rookie in the team should do, but now he is doing the opposite.
Hibbert is indeed notoriously weak, and he was bullied like this by a newcomer.
"The game has officially begun. On the Pacers side, the starting five remain unchanged... on the Knicks side, Jason Kidd, Raymond Felton, Ronnie Brewer, Carmel
Ron Anthony, Tyson Chandler.”
Zhang Weiping has been looking forward to this game for a long time. As the New York Knicks, who can easily arouse the enthusiasm of the away team, he has a vague feeling that the bigger the occasion, the less likely Lin Shaojie will perform.
"In terms of the starting lineup, the gap between the two sides is not big, but look at the bench, the Knicks' Jr. Smith, Marcus Camby, Rasheed Wallace... Steve
Husband Novak...Listen to these names, plus the main players, if they are two or three years younger, I feel there is no need to play. The whole league does not have such luxurious equipment."
Gu Xian
As he spoke, Zhang Weiping spread his hands.
"You are afraid of youth, time is not forgiving, injuries, and age are always the enemies of athletes. The Pacers are better because they are younger and more energetic, and the Knicks are better because they are experienced. If you want to defeat your opponents, young people are better.
Let’s wait and see whether it’s the ginger or the old spicy.”
When it came to jumping the ball, Hibbert lost to Chandler. Felton's round figure easily squeezed away his opponent when faced with George Hill's defense.
Anthony broke into the paint and received a pass from his teammate. Facing Paul George's defense, he scored two points with an easy post-up.
Anthony raised two fingers and received cheers from the audience.
As Lin Shaojie's defensive target, Kidd didn't even touch the ball in the first round.
"Don't be too nervous, young man, I'm already old and can't run anymore."
Kidd said with a smile.
"Who told you to be my idol?"
"Don't lie to me, your idol is the Little Giant, we all know it."
Kidd revealed it without any hesitation.
However, the offense and defense were changing positions. As soon as George Hill's pass fell into Lin Shaojie's hands, Kidd immediately switched to defensive mode.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball forward, without any regard for martial arts, and started playing post-up singles from outside the three-point line. Facing a lot of old Kidd, Lin Shaojie did not hesitate to use his strength and composure.
Kidd, who was on defense, felt his chest and abdomen being hit again and again.
"This little guy is so energetic."
Kidd's strength has not declined with age. On the contrary, his strength is very stable.
But he still couldn't hold up the giant monster Lin Shaojie, and Lin Shaojie, who was 1.93 meters tall, did not falsely report his height. After wearing shoes, he seemed to be a little taller than Kidd. What's more important was his wingspan.
Kidd, who was strong in defense, could not pose an effective threat to him at all, and was forced into the paint area by the little guy.
It was really like a bulldozer. It looked very slow, but it was actually very fast. It squeezed past Kidd's defense in just a few strides.
Felton, the "little man", wanted to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, but Lin Shaojie turned around and dodged. Facing Lin Shaojie's sudden force, Kidd had to take a step back.
Lin Shaojie grabbed the shooting space and immediately kicked off the ground. Anthony came to cover at the last moment, but the basketball easily passed over his head and fell steadily into the basket.
"pretty!"
Zhang Weiping said with his fists clenched.
"In the opening game, Coach Lin scored two points. This response shot was very refreshing. I just want to attack. If you have the ability, you can guard me. But the Knicks have nothing to do with Coach Lin. They clearly know that he is going to shoot, but you just can't.
He scored against three people."
When Felton scored again with the ball, Lin Shaojie was still guarding Kidd.
"You are very powerful, more powerful than I imagined."
Kidd praised that no matter how much he thought before the game, he never felt as deeply as when he got on the court.
A man who is almost 40 years old can play the main role in a big city like New York. What does a defender with no bounce and no speed rely on? If it weren't for strength, Kidd would not be able to survive in the league.
Without strength as a foundation, no matter how good Kidd’s brain or technique is, it will be useless.
He is an old football ruffian who still teaches James how to behave at the age of 38. His strong strength gives him sufficient confidence.
But when compared horizontally, Kidd even doubted that among the current defenders in the league, who else could be stronger than the No. 13 on the opposite side!
Positional warfare is the most cruel. Players who can play floor style are all the masters of fighting in and out of positional warfare. At that time, it was difficult for speed and bounce to work. They relied on strength and the relationship between muscles.
of collision.
In the first round, Kidd felt that he was really old and he really couldn't guard that guy.
In the second round, the Knicks began to focus on the inside. After standing firm, Chandler began to frequently ask for the ball in the inside, trying to open up this point.
But when the matchup officially began, Chandler discovered that Hibbert, who has an excellent height and wingspan, was not useless. On the contrary, his defense was very good, which made Chandler's ball in the inside very difficult.
When the thirty-year-old him faced the younger Hibbert, the latter did not look like the softie he was rumored to be. On the contrary, he was quite tough.
It's not that easy for Chandler to break inside.
Felton passed the ball to him, and Chandler actually had difficulty turning around, just when he wanted to dribble the ball and look for opportunities.
"careful!"
Kidd's voice came suddenly.
"not good!"
Chandler knew very well that Kidd had been "carefully" taken care of by Lin Shaojie since the beginning. Now Kidd suddenly reminded him, could it be that shameless guy...
"Bang!"
A dull sound came from his hand, and Chandler felt his hand tremble. The familiar memory, which even seemed to have almost disappeared from his mind, came to mind again.
"In a steal, Coach Lin suddenly broke into the penalty area and made a beautiful steal from Chandler."
Zhang Weiping said excitedly.
After completing the steal, Lin Shaojie did not launch an attack quickly. Kidd blocked his breakthrough route very badly.
The Knicks' offense failed, but they didn't miss anyone, giving the Pacers a chance to hit the fast break.
Felton and Brewer still wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack, but Lin Shaojie in the penalty area was as nimble as an elf.
He moved left and right in the gap between people, and quickly dodged the basketball under his crotch and behind his back.
Facing the gorgeous dribbling at a very low altitude, Lin Shaojie finally managed to break out of the crowd with his waist bent, without even leaving a chance for a foul to his opponent.
On the NBA basketball court, Lin Shaojie showed off his ultra-low-altitude dribbling for the first time, shocking all the fans present.
Especially Spike Lee in the first row. He was even sure that when he broke through, the basketball was no more than 20 centimeters in Lin Shaojie's hands. There was nothing you could do about such a low dribble except a foul.
Only when the slow-motion replay started on the big screen did the fans in the distance see it clearly.
Lin Shaojie in the crowd had slender limbs. When he was hunched over, he could control the ball with both hands at his side. The moment he raised his head, he seemed to have impressed everyone in his mind.
Felton and Brewer were always close, and Chandler behind Lin Shaojie also grabbed the air.
Lin Shaojie, who lowered his dribbling height to an extremely low height, finally bent his waist and pushed the ball through the gap in the crowd.
It didn't take more than two seconds, but everyone could clearly see how solid this young man's foundation was.
If Kidd hadn't let up any slack on the outside and stood in front of Lin Shaojie, the Pacers would have launched a fast break.
Scattered applause merged into one, and everyone had to applaud for this ball protection, because at this time, they saw Isiah Thomas's stunt. Although the time was short, that gorgeous dribbling appeared in
It's really gorgeous on a 6-foot-4 player.
Blocked by Kidd and unable to complete the fast break, Lin Shaojie slowed down his pace.
If a point guard's ability to read the game is like a book, then Kidd at this time should be at the publisher level.
The library is full!
Lin Shaojie needs to learn from this senior. This is a person who has no cheating, but can rely on enthusiasm and golf intelligence to allow himself to play on the court until he is nearly forty years old.
Whoever can persevere to this age is not the best among the old football hooligans.
Even a restless boss like Anthony recognizes his opponent's status in the locker room. Of course, Lin Shaojie must learn from him.
so......
In his own half, Lin Shaojie, who did not rely on speed or skill to crush Kidd, turned around and started playing post-ups.
"This is my tribute to the forerunners!"
On the court, even the Pacers players were a little surprised. Lin Shaojie was so disrespectful!
If he relied on his youth and speed to surpass Kidd in one step, no one would gossip, but he would rely on his strength to play behind the ball and grind down his opponents.
This is equivalent to a sharp knife cutting through messes and killing people with one knife, and the other being cutting into pieces with a thousand knives, cutting flesh with a dull knife.
The West, which pays attention to cooking, certainly hopes to give its opponents a happy death to show their kindness.
Lin Shaojie's approach of not respecting martial ethics, constantly consuming his opponents, and suppressing his opponents' core is correct, but...
Opposite him is an old monster who is almost forty!
Kidd faced Lin Shaojie who hit him one after another. The pain in front of him and the shouts of the fans on the sidelines converged. Kidd had to use all his strength.
But before the Knicks players gathered around, Lin Shaojie finally let Kidd go, and his "abuse" ended.
Lin Shaojie turned around quickly, bypassed Kidd, and quickly rushed forward.
But at this time the Pacers had lost their best opportunity.
"Brat!"
Kidd chased after him, and the two men with the highest IQs on the court looked at each other, each knowing what he was doing.
"Old fox!"
"Little fox!"
Kidd knew very well that that guy just wanted to consume his stamina. Kidd, who could last for half a game, if he was constantly being consumed by his opponent, his physical fitness would be at its lowest after one game.
When Lin Shaojie passed halftime and moved the basketball inside, Hibbert actually caused a foul under Chandler's defense.
The goal of one of two free throws gave the Pacers a 3-2 lead in the away game.
This time the Knicks attacked, Felton did not dribble, and honestly handed the ball to Kidd to organize, when Lin Shaojie once again blocked the old ball ruffian.
"Fuck you, shit, Lynn!"
"Fuck, Lynn!"
Lin Shaojie, who was retreating, listened to the abuse on him from the sidelines. The fans were still marveling at Lin Shaojie's dribbling, but they were angry at what he did to Kidd.
"Did you see that compared to you before the show started, you are no longer popular now."
Listening to Kidd's "heart-breaking" words, Lin Shaojie didn't take it seriously.
"Knicks fans don't know. They don't know how to criticize. They only remember the winners. This is a group of fans who only enjoy winning. I just need to beat you."
Watching Kidd carefully, the latter was obviously afraid of his own steals, so he dribbled the ball very steadily. The most important thing was to keep an eye on all directions. Lin Shaojie would not take action easily when he was not absolutely sure.
The old guy on the opposite side seemed to take a look, then turned half sideways, and used a behind-the-back pass to send the basketball to his teammates while he was still in his own half.
He also seems to have a very broad vision, and he is definitely a talented guy.
Lin Shaojie continued to follow Kidd. After getting the ball, Anthony once again showed his "technical forward" back-up skills. Paul George really couldn't stop him.
"Whoosh!"
A slightly faded turnaround jumper, Anthony was also training Paul George in the military.
"On this ball, the Knicks hit Anthony. After discovering that Chandler had no absolute advantage in the paint, Kidd sent a good ball!"
Zhang Weiping said.
"Paul is still too young, and he has too few restrictions on Anthony. The ball just now was deceived by the opponent. If Coach Lin comes to defend..."
Paul's mood was slightly depressed. The Knicks' goals all came from Anthony. He was obviously younger and more energetic, but facing Anthony, a successful All-Star player, his sense of presence was greatly reduced.
"Return the next ball. Believe in yourself! At least you can exchange blows with him."
Lin Shaojie said to Paul George when he was holding the ball.
"Later, try your best to go forward and defend, don't let him get the ball comfortably. If I have a chance, I will cover for you. After I pass, you follow Kidd and stick to him. Don't let Kidd run. If
Okay, force that old guy to run at different speeds on the court to consume his energy."
After saying that, the "merciful" Lin Shaojie slapped Paul, who said "hmm" and rushed to the inside.
Facing Kidd's defense, Felton looked at him with eager eyes, and Lin Shaojie also smiled.
"Jason, there's no need, I'm just a passer!"
"Do I believe it?"
Jason was noncommittal. The boy opposite was less than twenty and had the mentality of an old dog. He didn't know how he did it.
With a smile on his face, Lin Shaojie was still hitting the ball with silky movements. Suddenly, his wrist, which was dribbling behind his back, flicked behind his back.
"George!"
Anthony looked at Pacers No. 13 and was clearly looking at George Hill, but Paul George, who heard the sound, was very fast and flew past him. He stepped on the paint area and jumped up.
The basketball flew out from Lin Shaojie's back. He looked at George Hill on the left, but passed the basketball to Paul George who was jumping on the right.
The word "George" deceived everyone.
Except Paul!
Paul George, who was flying in the air, stretched his movements, and the moment he caught the ball, he made a powerful dunk. At that time, Chandler had already passively taken off, but was smashed down by his opponent.
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
"Beautiful, the Pacers performed an alley-oop slam dunk against the Knicks. So beautiful, Paul dunked on Chandler."
As a passer, Lin Shaojie pointed his index finger and middle finger at his eyes in an awkward manner, and then pointed at Paul George who was patting his chest hard under the basket.
"You liar, you even lied to me!"
The excited George Hill ran over and hit Lin Shaojie on the chest. Paul George also ran over soon, and the three of them were building together.
“Very comfortable pass!”
"As long as you run to the right place, I will send you there!"
Lin Shaojie touched Paul's short hair, which felt slightly prickly. It felt good!
The Pacers players who were retreating were smiling, but Kidd, who was attacking and holding the ball, felt his heart sinking. Lin Shaojie's ease showed that he was not disturbed by the outside world.
Although the Pacers players are young, under his control, they really have a solid foundation for advancing and retreating. This is terrible. When did such a young point guard appear in the league?
Chris Paul is already awesome enough, but he is still limited in talent. He really suffers when facing a defender like Deron who is taller and heavier than him;
The Celtics' Rajon Rondo is more talented, but he lacks accuracy and his mid-range shots are really average. A defender who lacks offensive skills can easily be limited.
Kidd is very aware of this. In the early years, he suffered from the difficulty of not having a basket, but in recent years, things have changed a lot, although people's impressions still remain in the past.
You can look at the opposite Lin Shaojie who is retreating with a smile. Kidd is thinking about the explosive scoring ability that may appear at any time.
Coupled with the previous offense and passing, Kidd immediately understood why Anthony and Chandler were so afraid of this player.
This was by no means aimless. After a few rounds, Kidd felt deeply where the fear came from.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played back and forth. Everyone could see that Lin Shaojie focused on taking care of Kidd, always making the opponent very uncomfortable, and at the same time, he continued to consume the opponent's energy, making Kidd
No matter how uncomfortable he is, he will come.
Fans at the scene would greet Lin Shaojie with "fuck" from time to time, but the latter pretended not to hear.
Anyway, his goal is clear and he doesn't hide it at all.
The respect and admiration before the game have all turned into friendly interactions on the court.
I have known for a long time that these superstars have the attributes of not being abusive or uncomfortable. If you don’t do this, no one will look down on you.
But the Knicks had a high shooting percentage at home, and Anthony played very well. Although Lin Shaojie came to help defend him later, Anthony, who began to assess the situation, played very rationally when Kidd was on the court.
When he sees Lin Shaojie coming to defend, he will immediately send the ball to Kidd, who will organize the attack again.
Until the end of the first quarter, when the main players of both sides took turns to take a break, the score between the two sides was not open.
With a score of 18 to 21, the Knicks lost by three points in the first quarter.
