My basketball vision is different
Chapter 193 Left-Handed Magician
Lin Shaojie never thought that his debut would be in this way.
After overtime in the game between the Pacers and Jazz, they still lost to their opponents. Faced with the "chasing and interception" of reporters, Lin Shaojie adopted a silent attitude, which was also what the coaching staff had repeatedly urged.
When the situation is not clear and they only accept one side of the story, it is better to "let the bullets fly for a while". Talking too much will lead to mistakes.
The news media seemed to have identified the hot spot. From the moment Lin Shaojie stood up and left the Energy Solutions Arena, reporters were indispensable behind him.
"Off-field violence!"
"Five injured!"
"There's black and there's white!"
These words make the media like cats smelling something fishy.
Until Lin Shaojie left the team and returned to Indianapolis, the entire Lin family was filled with reporters.
Larry Bird even called Frank specifically because of this incident, scolding the latter for actually arranging Lin Shaojie to play at this time.
"How old is he? How old are you? If he wants to play, you will let him play? Lose the game? Who has never lost? What will happen if we lose? Will it affect our number one position?
It doesn't matter, so let him come back. The Nuggets won't allow him to go because he injured his arm due to his outing, and we will impose a one-game suspension on him."
Just like that, Lin Shaojie came back, and the Pacers even announced the punishment result.
Lin Shaojie knew that this was to protect him.
"We are waiting for an official announcement from the Portland police on this matter, and I am not in a position to disclose it at the moment."
Lin Shaojie replied and refused like this, but other than that, he didn't say a word more.
Why was Jackson so disgraced back then? Some people like the feeling of being in control of everything and their destiny. Lin Shaojie doesn't want to be a pawn in it. After finally changing his destiny, how can he hand it over to those people again?
We Chinese people are very particular about "my destiny is up to me and not up to heaven." If praying to God and praying to Buddha works, believe it or not, I can break my legs.
Without Lin Shaojie, the Pacers rushed from Utah to Denver to face the Nuggets, the powerful team in the Western Conference.
This game was very similar to the Jazz, both sides played very anxiously.
As a Pacers fan, it is difficult to see such an anxious game this season, but this is also a team that seems familiar to fans of both sides.
Facing former "defeats" such as Lawson, Iguodala, and Fared, the Pacers played away from home exactly like the previous game. They made a dream start and a 9-0 score allowed the Pacers to win.
Taking the lead in the first quarter of the away game.
21 to 13, all the Pacers soldiers were smiling.
But in the second quarter, the Nuggets' bench began to show their strength. Mozgov and Andre Miller teamed up to hit the climax, making up for the point difference in an instant and gaining a slight 2-point lead.
In the second half, both sides made constant mistakes in the third and fourth quarters. The most outstanding player in this game was Lance Stephenson, Lin Shaojie's "dog sucker" in the Pacers.
If it weren't for his high efficiency, he almost made a comeback at the last moment, but unfortunately, George Hill's performance in this game was comparable to "Gao Yuanyuan!"
Roy Hibbert has no touch in the last three games and plays like shit in the paint.
He hasn't had any extravagant nightclub life recently, but it's just like when girls visit relatives every month, they always act out of control and have a bad temper for a few days, and no one can tell why.
Can you imagine an inside player with a shooting percentage of 25%?
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting at home watching the game, called after the game and cursed for the first time!
"Holy shit, Roy, are you kidding me? Are you not full? It doesn't matter if you score less. We can forgive you for your poor touch, but what about your rebounds? Iguodala and Koufers are there
You grabbed 21 rebounds, 21, not 2.
Do you know how many rebounds Paul George got?
10!
You, a 7-foot-2 post, the best post in the Eastern Conference, actually let the 6-foot-9 small forward in the team take away all the halo. Do you know how many points we lost to the Nuggets?
1 point!
Shit, it’s just one point, you just need to grab one more rebound and we’ll win!
You win, do you understand?"
"Lynn, can you please stop talking?"
All the Pacers on the way back looked at Hibbert, who was sitting in the middle and back. He was such a tall man with a simple and honest face. He was scolded by the "boss" of the team and looked embarrassed.
Frank, who was sitting in front, couldn't hear what they were saying specifically, but he could probably guess it.
After losing the game, the whole team was not in a good mood. After two consecutive losses, it was the first time this season for the Pacers to lose three consecutive games. But all this does not affect the Pacers' top position, but Roy Hibbert
The instability shown is really a bomb for the Pacers inside!
A veteran like David West can score more than 20 points, or even 15 points if he scores less, and his performance is absolutely stable.
But you have no way of predicting a player like Hibbert. If he hadn't been thinking that he could block the impact of the Heat's Big Three in the paint, would the Pacers have offered him such a high salary when they renewed his contract?
Hibbert's annual salary is 600,000 more than Danny Granger!
Ben Hansbrough on the team only has an annual salary of 470,000, and the second-round pick, Orlando Johnson, who was bought back from the Kings to serve as Lin Shaojie's substitute, only earns 550,000.
When facing the Nuggets, Hibbert scored 8 points, which was exactly the same as Orlando Johnson. But with a true shooting percentage of only 25%, as a member of the post, how could Hibbert have the nerve to compare with Johnson, who had a true shooting percentage of 80%?
Compare from the outside.
Are you sorry?
One game doesn't mean anything.
But in the three games, except for Lin Shaojie who was unable to play due to an unexplained injury, among the other members' performances, only Roy Hibbert was able to pull his hips. This is a problem.
This is also why Lin Shaojie hooks up with insiders of other teams from time to time.
Hibbert has never lacked talent. With the talent shown in his body from the head down, it is normal for all his statistics to double.
But so far, he has averaged nearly 30 minutes of playing time per game, scored only at level 10, shot 60-70% from free throws, and less than 50% from the inside. All the data are telling Lin Shaojie.
This guy is a hidden bomb. It's unclear whether his potential has been unleashed, but if it continues like this.
Sooner or later the pill!
The Pacers also need to rely on him to resist players who are accustomed to attacking the inside, such as the Heat's LeBron!
For a moment, Lin Shaojie felt Kobe's anger towards Bynum.
Looking at them, they are all talented from the neck down, but they just can't realize it. I really want to open their heads and see what stuff is inside.
The most important thing is that you would never have imagined that Hibbert and Paul George could actually play together on a romantic night. There is no better friend than this!
...
One of the things that the NBA, or the media in beautiful countries, likes to do the most is to find fault with whoever is popular.
The media chases hot topics, creates news, and then flips it over. In short, sometimes it is more attractive than watching TV series.
He poured dirty water on Jordan's father when he died, colluded inside and outside Jackson's garden, and induced some inappropriate remarks.
Injecting things like this, they've done too much.
Right now, isn't the Pacers' No. 3 overall pick the most popular guy in the NBA?
The Pacers, who have lost three games in a row, have become a hot spot in the NBA, even though the Lakers have suffered a six-game losing streak on the road.
Even if Kobe Bryant made zero of six three-pointers in a game, none of this could stop the media from flocking to the city of Polis.
Even with Paul Allen's intervention, Portland's police efficiency is very low. After a few days, except for vaguely saying "Lynn is not guilty", everything else seems to be...
Hand the knife to the media.
Release your evidence and facts, your words are baseless!
It was also the first time that Su Zhen saw so many reporters outside the house. Fortunately, the high-end community quickly dealt with it. The reporters could only set up equipment far outside the street and chased the residents who came and went.
Lin Shaojie was wondering whether he should move out and find a more spacious place with a single family. This would affect other people too much!
Fortunately, neighbors came to the door one after another, bringing red wine or some small gifts, expressing their concern for Lin Shaojie's "injury" and urging him to recuperate at home these days, and then let those guys take a good look after he appeared on stage.
As for the reporters, they didn't care. Those people could only watch from a distance and didn't dare to break into their gardens.
At most, they are random interviews with passers-by about their opinions on Lin En. Many of them are misleading, such as saying something.
"Is Linn prone to violence?"
Su Zhen also felt it for the first time, a little excited and stimulated.
She is not stupid, she already knew the whole story.
As the saying goes: "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies."
It may seem like a bad situation, but it’s not necessarily who is better and who is worse in the end!
Danny Granger also took the opportunity to call to express his condolences. He has recovered well from his injury and has started restorative exercises, but it is not yet known when he will be able to play again.
As for Lin Shaojie's minor injury, it really doesn't count.
As for Kobe Bryant's call, the young blacksmith in Los Angeles joked to Lin Shaojie, saying that it would be difficult to live with the injury. Then he told Lin Shaojie another thing.
Regarding Oden, according to Kobe’s news channels, the Heat are currently pursuing the former “Great Emperor.”
In the absence of good inside players in the Eastern Conference, if a healthy Oden is available, he will be a big killer inside. The Heat's lineup is already "overclocked", and another "Great King..."
Lin Shaojie thought about the information in his mind and finally shook his head.
"If he can recover from such an injury and continue to play in such a fierce NBA, it can be said to be a miracle for mankind. I... don't believe it."
Lin Shaojie saw that he was healing two or three times faster than ordinary people, but for only a few days, there were still more or less problems. After all, he was a human being, not a machine, and there were limits to cheating.
So Lin Shaojie doesn't believe that besides himself, anyone else can cheat!
Not counting Jordan's stupidity, he is the only one in the basketball world.
Height, wingspan, hands, bounce, feeling of staying in the air... there are too many unreasonable things. Anyway, Lin Shaojie regards him as the same as him, which makes it more pleasing to the eye.
"By the way, Paul (Gasol) is recovering well. Although your outside shooting is as bad as ever, Gasol is in good shape and his mentality has been adjusted in a timely manner."
Gasol, who said he was not a substitute, finally found his place on the bench. In the limited time, he performed very efficiently after coming out. This also allowed Gasol to perform brilliantly after returning from injury.
The 1,512 points and rebounds completely supported the Lakers' inside line.
However, the Lakers' losing streak and dismal record on the road have made their playoff campaign even more difficult.
Kobe knew it was hard for Lin Shaojie to ridicule his accuracy on the perimeter.
His three-point shooting percentage is really not bad. Although it sometimes fails to work well at critical moments, the main reason is that he takes too many shots. He does too much and makes many mistakes. He is always double-teamed. Of course he can do it even if he doesn't pass the ball.
Reduce your scoring efficiency.
Fortunately, this situation has improved. After all, Kobe's assists per game have increased.
"By the way, how about going to China for next season's preseason?"
"If you can go, we can have a fight! But who knows what the uniform team will arrange."
Lin Shaojie responded with a smile. Kobe Bryant went to China almost every year, but the Lakers had never been there. If the Pacers could hold a preseason game with the Lakers in China, even if the game was a performance-heavy game, it would set off a viewing frenzy.
, this is something that everyone can expect.
The NBA's front office will certainly not refuse such an opportunity to "make money" and expand its influence.
The Pacers are definitely going, but who will be their opponent has to be discussed. After all, there is an obvious opportunity to make money.
Of course, the Lakers have a greater chance. After all, they have Kobe. In 2008, all the NBA players knew that Kobe playing in China was no different from playing at home!
But, it’s hard to say now!
Godson and biological son are two different treatments!
If he kisses Kobe again, he will be an adopted son at most! There will definitely be a difference between him and Lin Shaojie, his own son.
After the two of them talked about their injuries and gossiped, Rory talked a lot.
Lin Shaojie knew that Kobe looked like a very smart person, but in fact his emotional intelligence was not very high. If he knew how to do something, his performance would definitely be better than LeBron's.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such nonsense as "Shaquille did it too". Is that what an old gangster should say?
One look at the rank: Stubborn Bronze!
With Kobe's appearance among the old black men, he was surpassed by LeBron in business. It can only be said that a person cannot be judged by his appearance!
And this is Kobe's way of showing intimacy. Lin Shaojie still likes this "Tiehanhan!"
Anyway, the two of them talked about a lot of things that had nothing to do with them, such as:
The Rockets, who are worse than the Lakers, have lost seven games in a row, regardless of home and away games.
Harden was criticized not long after he became the core player. The beard that everyone originally praised became a cancer and a symbol of inefficiency. All aspects of evidence prove that this is a player who is more cancerous than Kobe.
for example:
The Rockets wanted Gasol, but Kobe took him back. He and Gasol had a deep brotherhood and would never leave!
for example:
The Rockets took the next step and wanted Randolph. After all, the Grizzlies' salary pressure is very high, but the recent games have also made it clear to everyone who is an indispensable member of the Grizzlies. What about Randolph?
May be traded.
It seems that in the recent misfortune competition, the Rockets were worse than the Lakers and Pacers.
Of course, what is worse than Harden is that after Randolph became an impossible member of the Grizzlies' trade, the team's Gay was once again put on the agenda, and many teams expressed interest in him.
Players are like commodities on a shelf, subject to criticism. Even if their performance in the team is very important, the boss has no money and wants to sell them.
Kobe doesn't have to worry, and neither does Lin Shaojie right now.
But the two people understand that this is a scenario that players will inevitably face, and no one is indispensable.
If I sleep with you in front of you, if you turn around and throw a large sum of gold coins at me, you may go your separate ways.
Sometimes, not to mention individual players, even the team can't help themselves.
Just like the Kings, the lineup looks really good. Even if there is Cousins, a tough guy, in the team, if Lin Shaojie had to choose, he would definitely want that tough guy.
But this year's Kings were in such a bad shape, and the owner sold the team to a Seattle consortium in a matter of seconds. This matter has also been a hot topic recently.
Everyone knows that if the Seattle consortium completes the acquisition, the future king may have to move away!
Just like the SuperSonics moved from Seattle to Ohio, is Seattle short of money?
When the imperial capital meets Seattle, people are really not short of money, but they are short of love.
You used to be indifferent to me, but now I have made it impossible for you to reach your level!
Look, the Thunder are now No. 1 in the Western Conference.
Therefore, Seattle's acquisition even aroused a strong response from LeBron, of course, more from the capital level, in order to prove that he is not a rookie, but also a father of Party A!
LeBron also cursed the King on Twitter for reselling it at a high price. This was a rare swear word from the little emperor.
Just like many people talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but all they think about is business!
Of course, when it comes to buying a team in the NBA, you have to publicize most of the teams. Otherwise, you can’t just sell to whomever you want. This “buying and selling” of people (balls) and mouths (teams)
Whether the agreement takes effect can only be determined after a vote by the NBA's Board of Directors. The previous agreement was only a preliminary agreement!
But this is such a big deal that even the team can be sold, so what do the players mean?
Anyway, Lin Shaojie quickly thought of Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer.
Lin Shaojie never doubted everything he "saw". Ballmer was not just joking. Waiting for him to officially announce his departure from Microsoft, he is a real giant. The liquid cash he controls is worth the United States.
All the possessions of professional basketball owners!
Looking at the private number on the phone again, Lin Shaojie was almost proud of himself.
Little blacksmith, do you have his phone number?
I have it!
In that moment, Lin Shaojie's little vanity was greatly satisfied.
The next day, Lin Shaojie continued to go to the team for warm-up training.
The Pacers who returned from Denver had one day to rest, but Lin Shaojie, who came back early, had already rested for almost three days.
"It's very good. Linn's body is very good. He recovers from injuries much faster than ordinary people, but try to avoid violent exertion."
After checking Lin Shaojie's injury, the team doctor said that Larry Bird on the side was satisfied. Accompanying him was Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard!
A so-called "consultant" is taken so seriously by others, this is Faner!
Lin Shaojie, who was "suspended" for one game, got enough rest. The Pacers, who have lost 6 games this season, cannot only lose four games in the remaining half of the season, so if they want to complete the Bulls' once brilliant record,
Almost impossible.
Without these three consecutive losses, the Pacers would still be hungry for something. However, these three losses have made Larry Bird and the coaching staff confirm that they will continue the rotation to the end.
Since the star player Lin Shaojie doesn't care about statistics, the most important thing is everything he has shown. He has already won this year's Rookie of the Year. Coupled with his performance in leading the Pacers, Larry Bird believes that if he operates properly, this year's Rookie of the Year
Lin Shaojie is likely to create a miracle that is rare in recent years.
Rookies enter the lineup!
Is this difficult for Larry Bird?
Who told him to enter the game in his rookie period?
So in his eyes, it doesn't seem to be difficult.
If you think about it carefully, we have never seen such a player again after two thousand years. Lin Shaojie has shown the most promise this year, and Larry Bird is not stingy about his connections.
He also believes that the league is happy to see this kind of data brushing!
Lin Shaojie, who scored 6 points, 3 points, and 0 points in the last three games, suddenly dropped his scoring average to less than 26. He was originally ranked first in the league, then became second, third, and now fifth!
Larry Bird feels a little pity, but in addition to scoring, that kid's rebounding data, assist data, etc. on the back line are still jaw-dropping.
This is the benefit of a dream start, you have enough time to make adjustments.
But this time the "low score" was mainly due to injuries. Of course, Larry Bird was afraid that injuries would affect the performance of his "favorite general".
In Larry Bird's eyes, the current Pacers' backcourt, composed of Lin Shaojie, Paul George, and George Hill, is somewhat like the combination of Jordan, Harper, and Pippen back then.
Especially after Lin Shaojie's height increased by two centimeters, a small two centimeters makes a world of difference!
From position one to position three, I feel like I can play.
The lineup in front of us can be regarded as a "shrunk" version of the Bulls trio. They can attack with the ball themselves and can also organize passes. If there is one point that is stronger, Lin Shaojie's shooting ability from the outside is more impressive.
rest assured.
Lin Shaojie, who is the most important among them, is of course Larry Bird's heart and soul.
So even Larry Bird himself can be considered a "disabled body" at the moment, but because Lin Shaojie was injured, he still came to the home court to give instructions, which made other players envious.
Doesn’t this make it clear how a biological son should be treated?
So in the last game in January, facing the visiting Pistons, Lin Shaojie strongly expressed that he could defeat the enemy with even one hand.
"Larry, my right hand is fine and has almost recovered."
"No, the doctor said you haven't recovered yet."
"Oh my God, that's a Mongolian doctor. It's been almost a week. I don't think there's any problem at all. Just let me play! I promise not to use my right hand. Really, the left hand is enough. Just like the piston, I
Let them do it with one hand, and really, if you catch me shooting with my right hand, you can always take Frank out of me..."
The high fighting spirit shown by Lin Shaojie made Larry Bird feel a little happy and a little worried. He thought about it for a while, and the fans at the scene saw Lin Shaojie appear on the bench, and the whole audience cheered.
With the name "Lynn".
If I had known better, I would not have brought this guy to the scene. It would have been safer to be suspended for another game!
Larry Bird finally decided that Lin Shaojie could come on as a substitute, but the gentleman's agreement was that if there was a breach of contract, he would be dismissed as soon as possible.
Frank was watching from the sidelines as the big bird was "taking over his duties." What could he say?
If you let Lin Shaojie play, you are "disrespecting" the facts and not caring for the players. When it is your turn, you are "considerate" of the players and respect the players' choices.
This old guy’s double standards are too great!
Obviously, only the state officials were allowed to set fires, and the common people were not allowed to light lamps!
"What, do you have any objections?"
Larry Bird's gloomy voice came from behind, and Frank turned his head and squeezed out a smile.
"No, how could it be possible? Am I that kind of person? Everyone on the walkers loves you the most."
"That's pretty much it!"
Frank turned his head and felt that he was no longer loved. The old guy's body had almost recovered, and it seemed that he would be back in action soon.
I just don't know whether he will continue to hold the title of "consultant" and do the things of the president, or whether he will take over again and push Pritchard to the position of deputy.
On the court, the Pacers face the visiting Detroit Pistons at home. Everyone is an old acquaintance, an old enemy, an old rival, and before the game they must express their joy at seeing each other again after a long absence.
"Brother, are you okay? Your leg is not broken?"
"Of course, it's very fine. Your legs are fine too?"
"Both and each other, everything is fine. By the way, how is your mother?"
"What? Are you still respecting the old and loving the young?"
"No, no, no, we just want to pay attention to your daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I'm not LeBron's teammate."
"Fuck, do you want to fight?"
"It doesn't matter, you can make an appointment at the time and place."
Anyway, most of the players from both teams behaved in a very "amiable" and "friendly and helpful" manner. Only a few players showed that kind of impulsiveness.
The main reason was that the conflict back then was too big, which caused Pacers fans to have deep resentment against the Pistons.
The Pacers, who have lost three consecutive games, seem to be in a worse situation than the Pistons, who lost the last game. Especially under the exaggeration of reporters, the Pacers are like a dying patient who will soon die.
After all, this is a team with a damaged "heart"!
But...even if the Pacers lose six more games, they are still the leader in the Eastern Conference. They currently occupy the top position in the league and are unshakable!
As for the Pistons, except for their rookies Andre Drummond and Hingle, who are interesting, the others are really like the third-stringers.
The current Pistons, regardless of their paper strength or actual combat power, are not worthy of carrying shoes for the Pacers!
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting in the audience, listened to the "cordial" and "friendly" greetings from both sides. This was just the "tradition" of the year. The old blacks who are very particular about tradition always have to show their inheritance. After all, this is the home court and the momentum needs to be up.
.
Moreover, the "bull-butting" before the game quickly made the fans at the scene agitated.
Looking at the players on the opposite side who look like "all villains", it's true that although most of them are old black men, the faces of the Pacers players are much better than those on the opposite side.
Especially Villanueva, the "eyebrowless hero" on the Pistons bench, is not easy to mess with at first glance.
His outstanding performance in his rookie year led the Bucks to acquire him at all costs, even sending away guard TJ Ford.
The highly anticipated rookie was troubled by injuries when he went to the Bucks. In 2007, Kong Yi joined the Bucks and "robbed" him of a lot of playing time.
The end result is that Yi Jianlian lost the competition between the two parties and became a bargaining chip in the transaction.
But God is not as good as God. Villanueva, who played brilliantly in the following seasons, was just another player in a "contract year" and his condition deteriorated after being poached by the Pistons.
In fact... Villanueva's offense is very good, but he is neither the core of the Pistons nor good at defense, so the road is getting narrower and narrower.
On the contrary, the current alliance is more friendly to them, and the pace is obviously getting faster and faster, but time is not forgiving, and this version of them has passed their golden period!
When Lin Shaojie off the court saw this, it was not Villanueva who was lamenting, but Kong Yiyi.
My old teammates are really good, but I was born at the wrong time!
After the game started, the Pistons sent out a starting lineup of Monroe, Stuckey, Knight, Hingle, and Mark Hill;
For the Pacers, Lance still replaced Lin Shaojie.
In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers, who had a perfect start, once again had a dream start of 14-5, but because previous losses were like this, everyone didn't seem to take it seriously.
Without Lin Shaojie's presence, no matter how good the start is, it will feel unsafe.
Sure enough, at the end of the first quarter, the score reached 29-25, and the Pacers could not hold on.
Lin Shaojie, who was sitting off the court, watched the entire game. During the first substitution, Orlando Johnson and Tyler Hansbrough came on.
Lin Shaojie looked at Frank with longing eyes. The latter quietly twisted his eyes and glanced behind him. Lin Shaojie remained silent, knowing what he knew!
The Pacers' Ti Shanghuang is a good person, but he just doesn't do other things!
"Coach, I want to play ball!"
"Larry, Lynn wants a fight!"
Soon, Lin Shaojie received the happy news. During the break in the game, he began to exercise himself. The audience who saw all this began to cheer.
"Lynn!"
"Lynn!"
"Lynn!"
Applause was accompanied by cheers, and everyone was celebrating. Lin Shaojie, who was fully armed except for the transparent mask on his face, had "black silk" on his arms, and his slender limbs gave him a "Blade Warrior" feel.
After a short break, Lin Shaojie walked onto the stage with his eyes closed and greeted the cheers from the audience.
In fact, I only missed one pizza, but it felt like it was yesterday. My right arm had not fully recovered, but after moving around, Lin Shaojie felt that there was no big problem.
"Rookie, do you want to express yourself?"
The wound under the sleeve was wrapped tightly, and you could see it at a glance, especially the bandaged area that protruded, making the right arm larger than the left arm.
So Knight asked.
As the absolute core of the Pistons' reconstruction, Brandon Knight has become an indispensable member of the team in his rookie season, averaging 10 points per game. However, this season, he is still averaging 10 points per game and has not yet made a breakthrough.
15 this threshold.
Lin Shaojie looked at the guard in front of him. The back line composed of him and Rodney Stuckey performed well. Both of them are considered to be Piston irons. Together with Kyle Zinger, who is firmly in the starting lineup, these three were
Considered the Pistons' three young players.
The living environment is much better than Drummond's.
It stands to reason that Drummond's pick is much higher than that of Hingle. It is only because Monroe's position in the Pistons is unshakable that Drummond cannot be effectively cultivated.
They can definitely form a twin-tower lineup. With two 6-foot-11-inch insiders standing there, no one will be afraid!
Lin Shaojie never imagined that with such an insider, fighting like this, would this still be the Pistons that everyone feared before?
If it were me... let them take off right where they are.
Knight found that his opponent did not respond to his "provocative" words and completely ignored him.
"Rookie, didn't you hear what I said?"
"Noisy!"
Lin Shaojie didn't even say a word. After receiving the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward. Knight and Starkey did not double-team him.
After all, he is a patient, so there is no need to be like this.
Lin Shaojie, who was advancing with the ball, secretly complained in his heart. He discovered that except for a few players who were "kind to others," most of the backline players were falsely reporting their heights.
Those who are less than 1.9 meters tall are often 1.91 meters tall. When you put on sneakers, you will instantly become the most handsome boy on the street;
Those who are over 1.9 meters are almost always aiming for 1.93 or even 1.95 meters.
The same goes for the two people in front of him. Lin Shaojie, who had memorized their information for a long time, could tell at a glance that they were not human beings, no, they were frauds!
Facing a defender who is not as tall or as heavy as himself, does Lin Shaojie care who the opponent is?
Knight or Starkey, is there any difference?
Isn't it because the right hand is injured, which affects the strength?
Lin Shaojie, who was dribbling the ball behind his back, just changed direction and instantly got rid of Knight standing in front of him. The latter wanted to counterattack, but in front of Lin Shaojie's half-bent body, he couldn't resist the rush.
He didn't move, but his figure was tilted by Lin Shaojie!
When Starkey came to cover the defense, Lin Shaojie, who had already broken into the three-point line, suddenly retreated and seemed to be about to step back for a three-pointer. Starkey quickly jumped to block it.
But Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball in his left hand, stood still and "turned around". At the last moment, the basketball passed through the crowd from east to west and landed in the hands of Paul George on the other side.
Paul, who was "hit hard", started and rushed straight to the inside. Facing Monroe's defense, which was too late, he made a dunk to widen the point difference.
Lin Shaojie's pass looked like White Chocolate Williams, and applause rang out from around the stadium.
In that pass, the defensive players in front of him were completely ignored. The basketball passed through at least three players, all of whom were so close that it felt like they could reach them with their hands.
The bold pass turned into an assist.
Lin Shaojie assisted 1.
When the Pistons attacked, the cooperation between Knight and Stuckey allowed them to barely attack until half court.
They already know that Lin Shaojie's defense is very good, and now they just want to take advantage of the opponent's injury to regain some confidence.
However, this idea of hoping that the other party would "fall behind" was quickly shattered by reality.
After several passes, the basketball did not reach the hands of Monroe inside. Instead, Lin Shaojie jumped high in the air and completed a beautiful aerial interception.
After landing, Lin Shaojie directly fired a long pass without stopping. George Hill ran very fast and received the pass in the frontcourt, and passed the ball cleanly to end the battle.
Lin Shaojie assisted 2.
This time, the Pistons were much more careful in launching their offense, no longer just passing the ball freely to the inside.
They found that the Pacer's No. 13 arm was injured, but this did not affect his running and jumping, and his athletic ability was not impaired.
This can be seen from his defense. It is too difficult for Knight and Stucky to complete breakthroughs. They can only complete breakthroughs or distribute the ball through cooperation or pick-and-roll.
Such a relatively cumbersome offense that requires coordination is very obvious, and the entire Pistons' tactics are not smooth.
On both sides of the formation, Lin Shaojie seems to be wandering outside the Pacers' system. He is not the one chasing the basketball, but his close cooperation with George Hill and Paul George allows him to switch defenses.
After the target, there is always someone who can make up for the defensive holes in the next step.
The Pacers' defensive transition was very quick, and the spectators were mesmerized by it.
As a result, every passer always feels as if he is being targeted and cannot let go.
When Monroe once again made a gesture for the ball in the low post, Lin Shaojie shouted to Hibbert.
"Roy, go around!"
A detour made Knight, who was holding the ball, afraid to pass the ball, so he had no choice but to hand the ball to Singer.
But Zinger didn't even warm up the basketball after he got it. As soon as he got the basketball, it was cut off hard by Lin Shaojie's left hand.
Although I have long known that the Pacers' No. 13 is an unchallengable member in the minds of all rookies.
Singer, who was born in Oregon, came from the famous basketball school Duke, but he was only a second-round pick.
The 2012 draft was originally hailed as a dismal one. With players such as "Third Prize", "Thick Eyebrows", Lillard, and Bradley gradually showing their personal achievements, according to current estimates, this draft will at least be ""
"Silver" level, although it is much worse than the golden age of 03, it is no longer as bleak as originally said, only thick eyebrows stand out!
At the very least, it can be regarded as "Let a hundred flowers bloom!"
As for the most outstanding thing on the surface, it is the flower show in front of me.
The basketball in Zinger's hand was stolen. Lin Shaojie, who was passing by him, did not stop and instantly passed the small forward who was over two meters tall.
Coupled with Paul George and George Hill, the Pacers' backcourt troika went hand in hand. Even if the Pistons players chased wildly, the playful Lin Shaojie didn't care at all about the pursuers behind him.
Paul George dropped the basketball next to the free throw line and stepped heavily on it in the paint, as if a god had descended upon him and received the pass in the air.
Conseco Arena instantly sounded "Air Raid Siren!"
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
After completing the dunk, Paul George seemed to be tearing off the basket. After landing, he beat his chest with one arm and was very excited!
Lin Shaojie stood aside and smiled without saying a word.
"Lynn, great pass!"
"You can participate in the dunk contest!"
Lin Shaojie said smoothly, Paul George looked at his thumb and narrowed his eyes with a smile!
Except for LeBron, most players like the dunk contest, which is a symbol of physical talent!
As for Lin Shaojie, his assists are 3.
Knight and Starkey looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.
The last time they faced an intact Pacers No. 13 at home, they lost. Although the rookie's statistics were average, he still had a triple-double.
In other words, he is a triple-double. He is the only rookie who treats triple-doubles as a common occurrence and can get them whenever he wants.
Looking at his situation right now, he didn't score a single point, but in the blink of an eye, the point difference between the two sides widened to double digits. The Pistons didn't score a single goal, showing their cluelessness and panic...
....
"Why!"
The Pistons coach off the court lamented and called a timeout.
He is also called Frank, but he is known as Lawrence Frank.
The former Nets coach can be considered one of the successful ones. The Nets had Kidd at that time, so he knew very well how easy it was for a coach to have a "commander" on the court.
If the Nets were successful under his command at that time, it would be better to say that they were under the control of Kidd, a historical passer.
Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter, Alonzo Mourning...
There are so many wonderful memories for Lawrence to reminisce about, but what about now?
After moving from the Nets to the Pistons, last season's winning percentage of less than four cities has made Lawrence's coaching path almost closed. The team under reconstruction can't even see the hope of the playoffs. Let's look at this season...
..
"well!"
Lawrence lamented again, feeling helpless.
It's hard to make a meal without rice. With this lineup, it will be useless for anyone to come. A big change is needed!
But as the coach, he knows very well that often the first move in a major change of blood is directed at the coach!
Seeing the dismal performance of the Pistons halfway through this season, Lawrence has long been prepared to be fired. So, like an employee who clearly wants to leave his job, will he still worry about being constrained by his colleagues or boss?
"What are you talking about? Do you really think that No. 13 is a rookie? Let me tell you, he is the seed of a superstar. No, he is already very strong.
Don't you know that his right hand is injured? He is playing with you with his left hand, but you can't even beat a disabled person?
Get him, get him. Not only are your attacks ineffective, but your attacks are also weak. I have never seen such a Pistons. You will all be nailed to the pillar of shame..."
Seeing the coach going all out, the players looked blank.
Fortunately, before going on the field, the players looked at the coach patting his right hand as if he didn't care, and the players were thoughtful.
Lin Shaojie was beaming when he returned to play. After all, under his leadership, the Pacers played efficiently and magnificently. It seemed that as long as he didn't dunk, other people's dunks would not affect Larry Bird's praise. The old man also said that the Pacers'
The home court has also become a veritable "Lob City," which is quite nice to see.
Think about it, such a tall man lacks everything except his bounce...
well!
Don't say it, don't say it. If you talk too much, the "big bird" will come and beat you!
But when Lin Shaojie, who was walking onto the court, was blocked by Knight with a foul during the pass, he gradually stopped smiling.
The hand that hit his right arm seemed a bit heavy.
"Feel sorry!"
Listening to Knight's careless words, Lin Shaojie glanced at him.
After giving the opponent a foul and re-serving, when Knight on the opposite side was replaced by Stuckey, a similar action appeared on Lin Shaojie again.
"Shit, are you using shark-killing tactics? Are you actually doing this to a rookie?"
Larry Bird was furious. This feeling of being beaten by you even before he was willing to beat his "own child" made this old gangster very unhappy.
"Level 2 foul, send them out, they're a bunch of shit."
Larry Bird was so excited that the referee on the scene had to come to appease him. When faced with such a famous old man, he couldn't be beaten and beaten, and he couldn't talk about it. He really couldn't afford to offend him.
"Mr. Coach, please restrain the players under your name."
The referee said to Lawrence Frank calmly: "This is the Conseco Arena, and I don't want your players to be watched after the game."
"Of course, it was just an accident!"
Lawrence had to give the players a "pointer," but who knows what they will do!
Although there were no major moves in the subsequent games, it was inevitable for Lin Shaojie to "kill him", even if it was due to fouls and free throws.
Lin Shaojie, who was out of temper, didn't even see Frank's eyes.
"Give me a few more minutes, just a few more minutes!"
In previous games, Lin Shaojie mainly focused on passing. Each of his gorgeous passes was like a left-handed magician on the court. It was quite annoying, but the magician can not only pass the ball, but also attack.
When Lin Shaojie dribbled the ball past half court, Knight repeated his old tricks to complete physical contact with him and cooperated with some small movements.
"Are you a little mouse? Can you be more vigorous?"
Lin Shaojie raised his right hand pretending to be disdainful, and flicked the ball with his left hand on the spot, avoiding Starkey who was trying to steal the ball from behind.
"Actually, your insider skills are pretty good! But you guys are really terrible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shaojie took off and shot from outside the three-point line against the "short" Knight. The action was very awkward because Lin Shaojie put his entire right arm behind his back, which was completely like a left-hand one-handed support.
ball, take off and shoot on the spot.
There is no assistant at all!
It was like a "one-armed man" appeared at Conseco Arena.
The whole shooting action looks very awkward!
But until the referee's whistle sounded, due to "excessive" physical contact, Knight once again committed a back-up foul!
"Whoosh!"
The basketball seemed to be accurately guided and fell into the basket!
Lin Shaojie, with one arm hanging high, smiled.
"I, even with one hand, you can't win!"
Arrogant and domineering!
That force of anger hit his face, and Knight subconsciously took a step back!
He vaguely thought of what Larry Bird said, "I can kill you with one left hand."
Lin Shaojie's shot indicates that he has already started to do this.
Sure enough, after Lin Shaojie was fouled, the Pacers' players defended even more fiercely. After successfully preventing the next ball, they quickly handed the basketball to Lin Shaojie's hands.
Just after breaking into the Pistons half court, he took a step past the center circle. Seeing that the defensive player was still far away from him, Lin Shaojie once again shot on the spot.
A one-armed shot, the entire aiming process is completed entirely with that giant hand.
Jumping straight up and down allows the force to be transmitted from the floor under your feet, through your body, and all the way to your wrists.
The shot seems to be quite far away, but it is full of a sense of ease.
Knight subconsciously took off. Whether it was the distance between him and Lin Shaojie, or the height of his shot from the basketball when he wanted to intercept, there was a huge gap.
The only weakness Nate showed was when he looked back. The live footage showed the "powerlessness, hesitation" and disappointment in his eyes!
"Whoosh!"
The applause from the scene rang out along with this shot. Lin Shaojie, standing in the court, continued to raise one arm high and listened to the cheers from all around.
"Lynn!"
"Lynn!"
"Lynn!"
