My basketball vision is different
Chapter 188 Chinese Derby
When he arrived in Orlando, Lin Shaojie, who had just gotten off the plane, faced hordes of reporters. The focus of everyone's attention was not on the upcoming back-to-back.
Everyone just wants to hear some stories from Lin Shaojie’s mouth about the relationship between him and Jordan.
Although it was ten minutes past noon, Jordan, who had woken up from a hangover, repeatedly emphasized that he and Lin Shaojie had a great time just because they had a duel on the basketball court last night.
But who can believe it?
What about those girls?
Two grown men are together, and one is an old gangster who keeps making gossip. Why don't they go out to play ball and play ball together on a romantic and snowy night?
Are you playing ball? Or playing ball?
Anyway, the more Jordan said this, the more no one believed him.
Leader Qiao on the court is the most reliable, and Leader Qiao off the court... Just like his draft vision, he will be right the other way round, at least he will not lose money!
As for the media, everyone just wants to use some crooked ways to attract the attention of the audience, and everyone knows this!
So faced with such a situation, Lin Shaojie could only treat it with silence. Talking more at this time would be wrong. After all, many people only believe what they want to believe, and it is useless no matter how much you say.
Just before the Pacers arrived at the Amway Center, the Heat, who started early, defeated the Warriors in the away game easily.
With five players scoring in double figures, the Heat's team morale was high. LeBron, who scored a game-high 25 points, led the team to an easy victory.
Facing this kind of team without a strong inside line, the Heat can indeed play very easily.
In the last round of the game, the Heat lost to the Jazz. LeBron, who scored a maximum of 32 points, once again enjoyed the curse of "cannot win with high scores". Not only the performance of the core, but also the performance of the main force was still more important to the Heat.
Even better, Ray Allen and Lewis scored in double figures, but they couldn't match the Jazz's cheating Hayward.
This forward, who is just over two meters tall and comes from Indianapolis, scored 22 points on the Heat as a substitute!
The beating made Lao Zhan and the others speechless!
This swingman, who has been improving every year since he entered the league, can really cause trouble for strong teams.
Knowing that the Heat lost in the last round, the Pacers' soldiers still snickered.
But soon, the Pacers, playing away games, stopped laughing.
First in the league, facing a team like the Magic.
If Bobcat is the belly of a fish and is among the bottom, then...Magic is recognized as the bottom, no doubt.
But it was such a guy who was ranked last. Facing the Pacers, who had the league's record record, he forcefully bit off a piece of flesh from his opponent. The key was that it was the flesh that was at the most critical point.
The magic seemed to have suddenly injured the Walker's aorta, causing the latter to continue to bleed.
Lin Shaojie thought about the cruelty of intensive away games, thought about failure, thought about losing, but he never thought that they would lose to the Magic.
The lineup sent by the Magic includes point guard Jameer Nelson, shooting guard Aaron Afflalo, small forward DeQuan Jones, power forward Glen Davis, and center Nikola Usevic.
On the bench, JJ Redick has some strength.
Anyway, the Magic's lineup, from the main players to the substitutes, seems to be just not good enough. At least in terms of paper strength, it is definitely far behind the Pacers.
But this unsightly lineup faced off against the Pacers.
The first three quarters were uneventful. Lin Shaojie took good care of Nelson. Afflalo and George Hill were also able to restrict anyone.
In short, the two sides did not widen the gap, and the Pacers always wandered back and forth with the opponent for about five minutes.
Lin Shaojie was also too careless. His teammates' hands were good and bad, and their physical fitness was greatly affected.
But in the last quarter of the game, JJ Redick and E.T. Moore played a 7-0 wave. Then, the Magic adopted a crazy double-team on the Pacers' No. 13, and even went to the three-pointer at all costs.
People defend.
With Lin Shaojie's running and passing ability, as long as any one of the Pacers can step up at this time, the Magic will be defeated.
But the Pacers felt cold in that quarter, and neither Hibbert nor West could make a shot in the paint.
When Lin Shaojie faced a three-man defense, he just hit a super difficult three-pointer, but it did not help the final score.
In the end, the Pacers unfortunately lost.
ended their nine-game winning streak.
But when I think about it being the last game of a road trip, four games in six days, three wins in four stops, it makes sense no matter what.
In short, the schedule of the NBA uniforms is all in a mysterious order.
This defeat did not affect the mentality of the Pacers. After the game, everyone was preparing to return. As for the next opponent, even the Rockets, who caused big trouble after the start of the Western Conference, the Pacers did not take it to heart.
It’s a home trip after all!
The Pacers have not lost at home this season, which is where their confidence lies.
"The Pacers lost!"
As the Pacers lost to the Magic on the road, news was pouring out one after another.
Most of the people are happy to see this, it is not a joke, mainly because the Pacers have won this season!
If they continue to win like this, they will definitely become the biggest dark horse in recent years and the dominant team in the regular season. As for challenging the Bulls' winning rate in the 1990s, everyone has said it as a joke, but no one really believes it.
The team's record before the All-Star Game was outstanding, and many young teams can do that, but looking at a complete season, it is difficult.
Just like this situation of four games in six days, more than one team will encounter it, and many will encounter such a cruel schedule. Four games in seven days is more common, and many collapses in the second half of the season.
After all, there are not many teams like the Spurs that dare to rotate from the beginning. The Pacers must have a plan to rotate on a large scale, and everyone knows it!
So after this game, the media came in frantically and wanted to interview everyone involved and let them express their opinions.
The Magic players seemed very excited. After all, they defeated the league's number one player. Even if this did not change their victory in any way, they were still at the bottom of the league, but at this moment it was a supreme honor.
"Yes, we all know that the Pacers have a very intensive schedule recently, but this is basketball. No one wants to deny that we won. In the most difficult time, I think we are not a team that everyone can bully.
It’s a giant killer!”
This season, no matter who can beat the Pacers, it is definitely something worth writing about.
As for the Pacers players, they acted very calmly. Although they lost the game, they were really tired. When faced with interviews, they refused if they could.
As the coach, Frank couldn't even escape when he was interviewed after the game.
"The team members have worked hard, and this game may be able to release the pressure on them!"
"But we never felt any pressure on Lynn. He doesn't look like a rookie or a young player at all. He is very different!
And after the game, we couldn’t see any frustration from him about the team’s losing performance. Isn’t this a disgrace to the core of a team..."
Seeing that the person who stood up to ask the question was Fox TV, Frank looked at the other person. He was an old acquaintance and an old rival.
"In the eyes of our coaching staff, there is no player more conscientious than Lynn. I understand your thoughts and your thoughts. You hope to find something that makes Lynn unique and eye-catching."
Frank spoke up for his beloved disciple.
"We all know the reason for the loss, we are still united, there are no internal problems, it's just because we are tired.
As for Lynn? He is very normal. If you exclude the identity of a player, he is no different from an ordinary young man. He is not like some media said, because he performs so well on the court that he is alone in daily life.
Past.
You have reported on his "unsociable" behavior before, and even said that he is stingy and a Grandet.
But I can say that since Lynn came to the team, our players have never had dinner together so frequently.
It's just that he doesn't like nightlife, his schedule is very regular, his girlfriend is pregnant, and he wants to spend more spare time with her.
He is that kind of traditional Chinese man. Although he is still a little young, he has already become a man of integrity and has begun to take care of his family.
All of us know that money is no longer a problem for Lin En now. If he wants money, it will be given to him on the field anytime and anywhere. But he is very restrained. If he puts in extra training
If the time is left for him to deal with business matters, I think he will earn more.
After all, he is a clear-minded young man, isn't he?
It's just that he doesn't think it's necessary.
Also, you say that he is stingy, does not fit in with other players, and does not have the close relationship he shows on the court.
I think if I have the chance, I can secretly take some pictures of the locker room, and then you can see how popular Lynn is as the boss of the Pacers locker room.
He doesn't use those exaggerated movements and fierce language. One look is enough. The players like this young guy. Don't look at him the same way you look at other players.
This guy is a "product" produced in China. He rarely cares about your evaluation of him, just like he never cares about his appearance.
Of course, I don't say this because he is the core of the team, but he has shown the qualities he should have as a core and a leader in many aspects.
Self-discipline, dedication, and of course iron-blooded... You also saw it in the game against the Bobcats. When his teammates' minds were not on the court and their performance was unsatisfactory, he would tell them in his own unique way.
Everyone.
'If you don't want to play, then please sit quietly on the sidelines.'
You have seen the process. Paul (George), George (Hill), and Roy (Hibbert) were all pushed to the sidelines by him. At that time, he was like a tyrant, and he would not kill anyone who hindered his victory.
Kill him mercilessly, and then attack the city with teammates who are willing to stand on the same front as him.
Of course, this is not absolute. Just like when we lost to the Magic this time, this was our fourth game in six days. The players' physical exertion was very high. At this time, you can't see such a situation.
Lynn is always the one who sees things most clearly on the team. I like players like this and our coaching staff likes players like this.
And before he makes a decision, he will discuss it with us and tell us the reasons, instead of just telling us the reason.
Lynn is very cool, believe me, he is more cool than those capitalists! He is not the kind of player who desperately wants to win and squeezes his teammates, because before he squeezes his teammates, he will definitely squeeze himself first."
The Pacers, who lost to the Magic, did not stay and immediately returned to Indiana. Training was also suspended the next morning. What all members needed at this time was rest.
Because they will face the Rockets tomorrow.
The Pacers' loss to the Magic, the league's bottom team, attracted a lot of attention in the NBA, but fans in China understand it very well.
After all, I have watched their games frequently this week, and I can feel the hard work of the players.
If you lose, you lose, no big deal.
Because everyone's eyes are on the next game.
Pacers vs Rockets!
One is the former home team, which has attracted the attention of many fans. Even though the little giant has retired now, the Rockets, who know how to do things well, have introduced another "Chinese!"
Lin Crazy became the most popular basketball player in China on Weibo at the beginning of last year. If it weren't for Lin Shaojie's meteoric rise in the NBA in the second half of the year, his value would not be what it is now.
And this game between the Pacers and the Rockets is also called the Chinese Derby!
Of course, this is also the wishful thinking of domestic fans. This game was not even popular in the NBA, let alone live broadcast across the United States.
Rocket?
Harden had previously scored 20 points in 15 consecutive games, breaking the Little Giant's record with the Rockets.
It only took Lin Crazy to score 1,001 points in the regular season in 98 games. In the crooked media, this is a more successful statistic than Nash and Tracy McGrady, and is only one game slower than Kobe.
When they saw this, many people looked puzzled.
Although this is true, and Lin Kuangsheng has also obtained good data, how can this data be directly related to Nash or even Tracy McGrady?
In recent games, Lin Shaojie has still performed very comprehensively in terms of statistics, but his performance in scoring has been very "sluggish." For those fans who only focus on scoring, this is their only criterion for judging a player's strength.
"Look! That Lin Shaojie's scoring average has slipped to second place!"
Indeed, Lin Shaojie, who pays too much attention to the team's victory, has slipped to second place in personal scoring, averaging less than 28 points per game, while the Los Angeles little blacksmith has reached 28.1, successfully overtaking Lin Shaojie.
But in terms of team record, the Pacers are first in the league, and the Lakers are still struggling for a spot in the playoffs, like a dying patient holding Thor's hammer.
Does it work?
A game that is not taken seriously in the beautiful country has created a feeling of Mars hitting the earth in China and Wanwan Province.
Rockets coach McHale responded when receiving an interview from afar.
"Harden is great, he is the key to our next victory over the Pacers."
Regarding Linsanity, McHale did not mention it until a reporter reminded him subconsciously.
"Linsanity? His performance is also an important bargaining chip for our victory.
Lynn?
Why do you say this? Is there any comparability between them?
Although Lynn is only a rookie, he is the kind of player that every coach wants, and I am no exception. He is a super talent and the cornerstone of the championship. Believe me, at this time, the NBA players are the least willing to mention it.
And this name, because his existence will bring shame to many players and feel that all these years of playing football have been in vain."
The reporter from Wanwan looked disappointed when he heard this answer.
Once upon a time, Lin Kuangsheng was someone they were proud of, but Lin Kuangsheng has had ups and downs this season. Although he starts every game, his status with the Rockets is obviously not what he said before the season.
The absolute core, everyone knows why, but no one talks about it.
Lin Shaojie, who returned to Indiana, also received an interview from Yang Ma and even Wanwan after getting off the plane.
"For every player who comes to Indianapolis to play, as long as the other team's players are willing, I will treat some players to dinner. This is also one of our traditions. Visitors are guests, and I am happy to increase mutual understanding at the dinner table.
communication.
After all, on the court, there is only victory or defeat between us and the opponent, nothing else.
But at the dinner table, I can talk about culture, history, and traditions, so that more people can get to know each other and understand each other.
Lin Crazy?
I was still in the national youth team at that time. Although I was quickly transferred to the national team, he was very popular in China during that time and many of our players knew him immediately.
Although some people say that he is a fake foreigner who cannot speak Chinese, I think this is wrong. In many interviews, Lin Kuangsheng has said that he is Chinese.
Although this has nothing to do with nationality, it is culture and ethnicity, just like many people in beautiful countries say they are Jews or Arabs.
And I am a Chinese born under the red flag. Maybe everyone is more friendly to me, but there is no need to regard me and Lin Kuangsan as enemies. It is the same in Wanwan Province. There is no need. We are in the NBA.
They are all trying to gain glory for the Chinese.
A long time ago, there were only white people in the NBA. Later, black players gradually changed this. Maybe for most Asians, Asians are not suitable for basketball. We cannot simply define this as discrimination. They just don’t view it favorably.
.
This must go through generations of hard work and proof before we can change our concepts and thoughts, and Lin Kuangsan and I are both doing this.
So in terms of the ultimate goal, the two of us are the same.
But in different teams, we have personal competition and team competition.
You asked me to predict who will win. Needless to say, it must be the Pacers. Even though we just lost one game, everyone knows the reason: we are tired!
Besides, didn't the Rockets also lose to the Mavericks? They have lost five games in a row. We defeated the Mavericks back then.
After more than a day's rest, I think even if our fuel tank is not full, we are still sure of victory when facing the Rockets!
Lin Crazy, I will wait for him.
The winner will be invited to dinner. I have already reserved a restaurant and am waiting for his arrival.
As for Harden, his former brothers and I have played against each other a long time ago. They recognize Harden's strength very much, but I have won the eldest brother and the second brother. What about the third brother?
I still have confidence..."
In order to face the arrival of the rocket, Lin Shaojie gathered all his strength, but when his cell phone lit up again at night, Lin Shaojie thought it was the blacksmith calling again.
"Kobe, why are you so late every time..."
"It's me, Lynn!"
Lin Shaojie heard the voice from the opposite side and immediately sat up: "Paul (Gasol), why is it you?"
As the trade deadline in February is approaching, every team is making final reinforcements, and players are also looking for opportunities for each other, but for a predator like Gasol, this is not the case!
Lin Shaojie never expected that Gasol would talk to him about the deal. When the phone call ended, Lin Shaojie immediately called the blacksmith in Los Angeles.
"Which way does the sun come out? Linn, you actually called me."
Kobe was still joking, but Lin Shaojie didn't give him any chance to joke.
"I heard you want to trade Paul?"
"Who said that?"
Kobe suddenly asked back.
"I think if you don't want it, I actually do. After all, there is a big man in the East, and we will be very comfortable, especially when facing the Heat."
Lin Shaojie said seemingly jokingly.
"Don't worry about where I got the news, but even I know it. I think the Lakers management has lost their minds. The Lakers are in a precarious situation! Isn't this a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"
"Don't say this, there's no way I'm going to let the team trade Paul."
Kobe said righteously.
"Then express your opinions to the higher-ups, and you will begin to transform for this."
The Lakers' record this season is quite poor, but when Kobe began to strengthen his defense, his recent winning rate also improved. This was the first time in two seasons.
If this continues, the Lakers can still try for the playoffs.
Even though D'Antoni was scolded miserably by the fans at home, it did not affect everything Kobe did. After all, as long as he starts defending, this player who has been in the first team nine times will definitely not disappoint.
But if Gasol is traded away, this is the important second-in-command next to Kobe. What is he trying to do?
"If you want to keep Paul, don't give ambiguous opinions to the higher-ups. Tell them that you want to trade Paul, and let's see if the fans are happy with it."
Lin Shaojie had a bad idea.
This year, the Lakers are playing like this. Kobe still firmly holds the second place in All-Star votes. LeBron, who was pushed out to be the number one player in the league, has never been able to completely suppress Kobe.
In terms of momentum and popularity outside the court, Kobe still beats LeBron. This can be seen from the moment Kobe opened his Twitter account.
Kobe, a somewhat old-school guy who doesn’t like to socialize on public media, has continued to increase his fans since launching it.
Without Lin Shaojie, he would have been the biggest surprise on Twitter last year.
"Okay, I'll do it, Paul can't leave!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shaojie couldn't help but sigh again. It was indeed a business alliance. When Gasol called, Lin Shaojie was really tempted.
He has played against Gasol and knows the opponent's strength.
If the Pacers can get such an insider, then this year's Pacers can definitely stand at the top, but all this is just a thought and impossible to achieve.
But for the Lakers senior management to actually let out such rumors and even force Gasol to start thinking about his next club, Lin Shaojie had to lament the other party's stupidity.
Could it be that old Bass's brain is not working well?
In the eyes of the so-called experts outside, if Warcraft does not renew his contract, Happy Beast will lose 30 million. But how long can Warcraft stay with the Lakers? Can he really be so happy that he forgets all the pain?
There is no possibility of fusion between him and Kobe, although the two people are not incompatible.
But everyone can see that the two of them are not calling on the court. Under this situation, the Lakers front office is still thinking of sending Gasol out.
Is this an attempt to get rid of Kobe and rebuild the lineup with Howard as the core?
Although Lin Shaojie is far away in Indiana, it is conceivable that the Lakers front office will be very anxious tomorrow.
After all, the team's record is one thing, and economic benefits are another. Now that there is no negative news off the court, the little blacksmith is one of the top players. No one dares to deny his role in Los Angeles.
As a troublemaker who is both a party but not a participant, Lin Shaojie has a feeling of watching the fire from the other side. It is no wonder that many old (coin) coins like to hide behind their backs to do these things. It is indeed quite refreshing.
And on the second day, the Pacers ushered in a Chinese Derby battle with the Rockets!
For the first time, so many Chinese faces flooded into the Conseco Arena. Except for a very small number of Chinese people who came to watch Lin Shaojie's game, most of the Chinese faces had been in the beautiful country for a long time.
There are second, third and even fourth generations. They have long been accustomed to life here, and they have even...forgotten how to speak!
They are also more familiar with Lin Crazy, a star who became famous earlier in the NBA.
Sometimes Lin Shaojie himself wonders why other ethnic groups, such as Neon and Han, mostly retain their own languages, but we forget them so quickly in a foreign country?
And a Chinese who can't speak his own language, this... Lin Shaojie doesn't know how to say it.
In the warm-up match before the game, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to greet Lin Kuangsan. The two of them sang very smoothly. If you didn't know better, you might have thought that the two bananas were communicating.
Lin Shaojie knew that Lin Kuangmai could understand, but he was not very smooth when speaking, and even stuttered a bit.
In a very short communication time, Lin Shaojie decided on the dinner after the game.
Of course, Lin Shaojie also has to say hello to Harden. The former is also pretty handsome among black people, but Harden, who relies on his big beard to add to his personality, suddenly feels very strong, like Deron or Wei.
Moral figure.
In addition to these two people, Lin Shaojie also greeted James Anderson, who was on the opponent's bench, making the latter feel a little flattered.
The main reason is that Lin Shaojie met him during the interview with the Spurs and had contact with him during previous Spurs games. However, after more than ten rounds of games, he had already joined the Rockets.
But it is a pity that his strength is only a substitute, not a substitute player like Manu (Ginobili) who can change his destiny.
Not even a main substitute, just a water cooler player.
Anderson looked at the Pacers No. 13 in front of him and was filled with emotion. He remembered that when he was training with the Spurs, he was still a bystander.
I saw with my own eyes that young, immature Chinese guy with a face full of collagen that looked like a student, forcefully completed the shot in front of Parker, and at that moment I felt that this kid was pretty awesome.
But who would have thought that after becoming famous overnight in the Olympics, he would become even more fierce after entering the NBA.
Although he has not won the Player of the Week award in the Eastern Conference, he has won the Player of the Month award one after another. There may be substitutions in the Western Conference, but in the Eastern Conference, there is currently no hope for others.
The Pacers' No. 13 is like a hungry wolf that breaks into the flock of sheep, devouring all the honors!
After all, whether it is the team record or personal data, he as a rookie has jumped out of the rookie survival circle and entered a circle that Anderson has never experienced before.
Lin Kuangsan also watched No. 13 drift away.
Of course he would not refuse Lin Shaojie's "dining date". He thought that after the little giant retired, he would carry the only banner. Who would have thought that a native Chinese would come here.
After watching his game, Lin Kuangsheng had to admit it.
“Real cowhide!”
Now in the Rockets, although from a tactical point of view, compared to New York or even before with the Warriors, Linsanity's status has been greatly improved, but like a person drinking water, he knows whether he is warm or cold.
Jeremy Lin is very aware of his position in the Rockets.
To be precise, the Rockets do not have a pure point guard. Everyone, including him, can organize, but everyone is not an organizer.
There is no place for it.
But in the Pacers, everyone knows that No. 13 holds the ball, unless he doesn't want to play organization and instead plays scoring, and he is also a well-liked pitcher who does not occupy the ball!
Lin Kuangsheng could only lament that he was the same person but had different fates. Look at the momentum of that rookie, Harden had no momentum at all in front of him.
"Hi, brother, how are you? Guigui and Diaosi asked me to say hello to you on their behalf!"
One sentence made Harden stop laughing!
It’s like the brotherhood of yesterday!
Lin Shaojie seemed to even have a good relationship with Harden. Anyway, they talked with Harden within a few words. There was no sense of tension between the two parties as described by the news media.
Lin Shaojie, who walked around the Rockets, was able to find out the enemy's situation clearly.
Apart from Chandler Parsons, the Rockets' front line is worth looking at. Another center, Omer Asik, was a substitute player with the Bulls back then.
Nowadays, the Rockets' statistics have improved greatly, but in Lin Shaojie's opinion, there is a false sense of prosperity.
After all, his average points and rebounds per game have reached the 10th level. This is a top-notch prospect.
But such a player had only scored 2-3 in the Bulls before. Lin Shaojie didn't believe it anyway.
As for the other Patrick Patterson, he has indeed made great progress, and his physical fitness looks good, but whether he is facing David West or Paul George, Lin Shaojie always thinks that the opponent's lineup is not good enough.
As for Harden and Lin Kuangsheng, who are the most hyped by everyone, Li Shaojie is not too worried.
Neither he nor George Hill can guard him very well, even Lance Stephenson on the bench is enough.
The amazing thing is that the Rockets have many players in the guard lineup, such as Patrick Beverley, who joined the team not long ago.
In order to acquire Beverley, they even waived rookie point guard Scott Machado.
The former assists leader in the NCAA had only been in the Development League before, or played a small role in garbage time, but in the end, he still ushered in the darkest moment of his life.
This is the huge gap between the NCAA and the professional leagues!
Some people adapted and played wonderful games, while others were eliminated and self-exiled!
As for how good Beverley is? Let the Rockets get it before the trade deadline.
That was the man who won the title of Most Valuable Player in the UEFA Cup. He seemed to be more popular than starting point guard Lin Kuangshen, but the Rockets, who are very business-minded, would never do such a stupid thing.
They won't let Lin Kuangane fall out of the starting lineup! This is a product they spent a lot of money to buy this year, and they must make the best use of it!
Even if he is only given 20 minutes of playing time, he must be allowed to start. After all... they have already tasted the economic benefits brought by Chinese players.
Chinese people, so delicious!
------Digression-----
It has been almost two months since the lockdown. We still have plenty of supplies, but people are almost exhausted. Even though I think I am a homebody, I still want to go out for a walk.
