My basketball vision is different

At the press conference, Lin Shaojie, who had finished his serious nonsense, came out after dealing with reporters and waited for Butler who was about to come out on the other side.

With Iverson leaving the NBA, Lin Shaojie, as the only player in active service with consecutive 50-point records, wrote his name on a new record. Of course, it cannot be compared with Kobe Bryant, who "sought defeat alone" in 2007.

But for Lin Shaojie, such data is dispensable. He doesn't pay attention to it. The Pacers players including him know what is most important this season.

At this time, many newcomers to the Bulls were looking at Butler with envy. This short-handed guy got lucky and was going to attend "Lynn's dinner party." According to legend, that was a talent recognized by Linn.

Go.

Xie Zhenghe and Li Dacheng were also part of it. At this time, they saw Xiao Linzi who came out first.

"What do you think of that sophomore show?"

"The talent is not bad. Except for the short arms, everything else is pretty good. The main thing is that the energy is very exciting to watch. To a certain extent, the mentality is more mature than Paul George. Of course, the talent will be realized when it comes to it."

I don’t know anymore.”

Others could only stay silent. At this time, Lin Shaojie was really looking like a "big man". The reporters who were some distance away could only take photos from a distance. After a while, the well-dressed Butler took pictures.

He walked out with an excited smile.

"Hi, Lynn!"

"Hi, Jimmy, let's go! These are my classmates from China, and my coach."

Butler seemed a little at a loss, which was completely different from his image on the court. He seemed to have never enjoyed such a harmonious situation.

Fortunately, Xie Zheng and Mr. Cong worked together, and the smell of a coach made Butler feel familiar. When he heard that the other party was also a college coach, he felt admiration.

After all, he was the coach who trained Lin En. Looking at the latter, even if he enters the professional league, he respects the original coach. Lin En is definitely a good person who knows how to repay his kindness!

"Are you sure you will play against the Eagles tomorrow?"

"Your shooting is really good!"

"How tall are you? Why do I feel that we are the same height?"

After drinking and eating, Butler was full of curiosity about Lin Shaojie around him.

The latter looked at the curious baby in front of him and satisfied the Bulls rookie's many questions.

Before the dinner, both of them knew that when Lin Shaojie expressed interest in a second-year pick, it meant that he had taken a fancy to the other's potential. As the head coach, Thibodeau could not be unclear about it.

Maybe there will be some business exchanges later, and Butler will be different.

Butler, who was born in Houston, the Rocket City, is not stupid. How could he not know this?

Therefore, of the two people at the dinner table, Lin Shaojie is obviously younger, but he controls the rhythm of the conversation. Every time he speaks, this stubborn boy who comes from the countryside and has lived a homeless life since childhood is attracted to him.

"I am also from a rural background, but I am happier than you. I have the care of my parents. Chinese parents don't talk much about their children, but when it comes to education, Chinese parents always seem a little cruel."

Butler laughed after hearing this: "Then I would rather play back-to-back for a week than study. That would be too cruel for me."

Butler talked about his relationship with Thibodeau, saying that Thibodeau liked his training methods, that his situation in the Bulls was getting better and better, and that he was getting more and more attention, etc. There were many things that the two talked about.

.

"Tom (Thibodeau) is really good, but the Bulls made a mistake."

Lin Shaojie raised a finger and said: "I think the spirit you have shown is not just a piece of the puzzle, you can play a better role."

Lin Shaojie's words shocked Butler, who had only drunk a little and was not even tipsy.

"When Derrick (Rose) was injured, your results looked good, but compared with last season, what you lost was not your winning percentage, but your winning mentality.

I have seen that kind of combative and aggressive character in many players, but when I showed my absolute strength, most of those hypocritical people retreated. Today, I only saw that feeling in you, so

I think you will definitely achieve something in the future, not just a brick or a puzzle piece in Thibodeau's hands."

Lin Shaojie raised the drink in his hand.

"For the future, I hope to see a better you, Jimmy, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Butler was invited to raise his glass.

It was already getting late when he walked out. Butler was carefully put into the car by Lin Shaojie. Even the fare was paid in advance. It didn't cost much, but Butler felt very considerate.

Just like those other players who participated in Lin Shaojie's dinner.

"Wow, lucky boy."

The taxi driver said very talkatively: "That's Lynn, you actually attended 'Lynn's dinner party.'"

"certainly!"

Butler said with some pride.

"In Indianapolis, there are not many people worthy of Lynn's treat. Apart from his teammates, there are only some players he likes..."

The wind and snow outside the window were a bit heavy, but Butler felt a little warm. In his mind, there was still the scene of Lin Shaojie waving goodbye to him under the light.

That Chinese guy is really different. Everything he says and does makes people feel warm. It’s really nice to be friends with such a person!

Butler, who grew up in a "tragic" environment since childhood, has built competitiveness into his bones because he knows that if he doesn't fight for it, he won't even have enough to eat.

Although he knew that Lin Shaojie was younger than him, he acted like a big brother who could protect others from the wind and rain. Looking back now, it is no wonder that the Pacers players listened to his words.

Xie Zhenghe and others witnessed with their own eyes a second-year talent in the league. From his mediocre performance when he entered, to when he left, he was almost like a brother to Lin Shaojie.

This kind of emotional intelligence is so hard to succeed in the American professional basketball team that even Xie Zhenghe himself had to lament.

"I think it would be great for you to be the union president in the future."

"Teacher, even if I have that ability, I won't do it. It consumes too much energy. If I have that time, what can I do wrong?"

Lin Shaojie returned home with his teachers. He first settled the teachers and others, and then took Luo Xiaoou and Zhao Li home.

This is how everyone lives these days.

On the way back, Luo Xiaoou lay in the car window and looked at the white snow outside.

"Xiaojie, are you really used to life here?"

"I'm definitely not used to it. After all, the cultural differences are still very big. But let's say I'm not used to it. It's not like you don't know me well. I'm used to living alone. I'm a solitary household here. I feel quite comfortable.

, Su Zhen is also adaptable, and occasionally participates in community activities when she has time, and other times she just lives her own life, I think it's okay."

"You're planning on staying with the Pacers?"

Luo Xiaoou said doubtfully: "I saw on domestic forums that many people want you to go to other big teams."

“New York or California?”

"Both of them. Anyway, I feel that you are a bit buried in the Pacers. When your strength is up, I always hope that you go to a wealthy club. It's almost the same. The destination of the five major European leagues is to go to a wealthy club. After all, your strength is up."

"How should I put it? Most of the stars who have made their mark here will go to a wealthy club. After all, the commercial value is there, but I don't lack it!"

Lin Shaojie said calmly.

"If it is because of the education of the children in the future, the Celtics, Lakers and the like are all good, but there are too many things to consider when going to such a wealthy club. I am in the Pacers, at least for now, I don’t have to worry about these messy things. Changing clothes

I have the final say in the room, but when you get to a wealthy club, who cares about you? A big name like Kobe Bryant still has conflicts with his teammates in the locker room. Look at the Pacers' locker room, have you ever seen anyone make a mistake?"

Luo Xiaoou gave a thumbs up: "It goes without saying that our little forest is the most powerful. I never expected it."

"There are many disputes in wealthy clubs. This is no joke. Many of the players have been bosses. Who can convince whom?

Just like playing a game, you will encounter various types of kills, assists, and economy. These people often have their own purposes, but they ignore the most important outcome.

But in a civilian team, things are relatively much better. They have the same consciousness and clear goals. If they lose, everyone has nothing to play. If they win, everyone will enjoy the fun.

As for me, I am the one at the front. As long as I don't give up, they will follow me, otherwise the fans and the team's uniform staff will spray them to death.

Therefore, I am very comfortable as a leader. I can rush to the front and leave the back to my teammates.

If you really go to a wealthy family, who knows if those people will come back to stab you because of financial interests or personal interests, or in serious cases, they may stab you in the back."

Luo Xiaoou deeply agreed with Lin Shaojie's words.

"But today is different from the past. The rules of the league are constantly changing, and people's hearts are floating. No one knows how many people can honestly insist on playing. Most people can't bear to give up as long as they discover their commercial value.

, just like Linsanity.”

Players pursue higher contracts for their own benefit, and teams kick away some clearly indispensable players for their own benefit. These things are too normal.

At this time, Lin Shaojie has seen more and more clearly that it is difficult to share wealth and honor, and it is also difficult to share adversity!

Before the All-Star Game was officially held, Li Dacheng, on behalf of Xinlang, organized Lin Shaojie's "relatives and friends group" to participate in the previous home and away game viewing tours.

In addition to the home game, this time there was only one away trip for the Philadelphia 75ers, and these "family and friends groups" participated in the entire trip.

As spectators, they have also seen the cruelty of the league's intensive games. Even if the Pacers continue to rotate the lineup, they can feel the strenuous journey.

And as spectators, they also have to follow along.

Three games in three days, and one away game. After returning to Indianapolis, there will be another game the next day. After the away game against the 75ers, they have to return home to face the Raptors. The Nets still have

There are lynxes.

As the only winner in the first half of the season against the Pacers, the Hawks were the only ones to suffer.

This time, the Pacers did not give their opponents any chance at home, and with the upcoming All-Stars, Larry Bird intended to build momentum for his disciples.

Therefore, in recent games, Lin Shaojie still adopts off-the-ball movement tactics like he faced the Bulls.

Judging from the actual situation, the Hawks' record is not as good as the Bulls, or even worse than the Nets. However, judging from the staffing of both sides and previous tactics, the Hawks can compete with the Pacers just relying on talent. They are somewhat similar to that

It feels like a walker killer.

However, in the face of the sudden change of formation and tactics of the Pacers, the eagles that came from afar also turned into drowned rats. They were killed by the Pacers indiscriminately, plucked out their feathers, and cooked in a pot.

Thought it was a good show, the game, nicknamed Enter the Dragon and Tiger, fell into the Pacers' rhythm from the very beginning.

From the perspective of the game, Hibbert was the best performer for the Pacers, and he was an explosive player in this game. Yang Wenyuan, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching, watched with stars in his eyes.

Because in the eyes of many domestic fans, among the Pacers' starting five, only this tall man has a soft temper and cannot stand up at critical moments, especially when the scene is anxious, such a tall man

If you don't score, if you don't get rebounds, it's all nothing.

Completely relying on David West, a veteran, to assist Lin Shaojie on the side, and Zhang Lili's joke, the nickname "Gao Yuanyuan" spread like wildfire.

But when you watch the game live, you realize how reassuring it is to have such a big man in the paint. There are too many "animals" in the NBA, and almost all of them are a collection of human essences.

There are a lot of people who are more than two meters tall and have very strong athletic abilities, and their bounces are a little scary. Just like an eagle, they all feel like they can fly.

Gao Yuanyuan, no, Hibbert's explosiveness has become the most flashy player on the Pacers court, standing like Optimus Prime in the Pacers' interior.

Lin Shaojie, who runs wildly on the outside, looks like the Flash, always inadvertently sending basketball fans into the paint.

Yes, Lin Shaojie, who mainly plays without the ball, in the game against the Hawks, made crazy assists in the first half, and no one in the Hawks could keep up. They are also afraid that this player who has scored 50 points in two consecutive games will become a next-generation player.

I have never seen a player with such explosive scoring ability, and everyone is afraid of letting him get better.

But the reality tells everyone why the Pacers' No. 13 is the court controller. He never thought about getting another 50 in this game.

After the Pacers' point guard became George Hill, Lin Shaojie seemed to only play a "bearing" role, but the Hawks put at least 1.5 manpower on this bearing.

In addition, the basketball will not stay in Lin Shaojie's hands for more than one second. Sometimes the basketball just flies into Lin Shaojie's hands, and the latter directly transfers the basketball to the hands of Hibbert or West inside.

.

The pass is quick and subtle.

Hibbert often doesn't make adjustments, turns around and dunks when he gets the ball. The feeling of being possessed by O'Neal is too obvious;

Hibbert also shoots as soon as he takes over.

Throughout the first half, the physically talented Hawks were beaten to death by the Pacers' internal and external connections.

On the other hand, the Eagles' offense had no sense of rhythm at all and was scattered overall.

Jeff Diggle and DeShawn Stevenson on the back line simply couldn't break through the combined efforts of Lin Shaojie, Paul George, and George Hill.

Their advancement often requires the assistance of Josh Smith, but Paul George is the victim of the Eagle King.

The Eagles, who averaged 15 points per game, were very hard to watch by Paul George in this game. He was having a hard time playing and couldn't show off his talent.

"How did we lose to them last time? That's it?"

During the halftime break, Hibbert, who was in high spirits, suddenly became philosophical, and then Lin Shaojie ravaged him on the head.

He's a rough guy, why do he pretend to be so serious?

Throughout the first half, except for a few rare moments when Lin Shaojie held the ball and attacked to attract firepower, Lin Shaojie mainly focused on passing the ball, maximizing the benefits for all members of the Pacers.

Hibbert alone scored 19 points in the half, West also scored 10 points, and Paul George, as the main defender against Smith, also scored 8 points.

As for Lin Shaojie, he only had 17 assists in the half, "sprinkle some water!"

"Did you see it? This is your little junior brother."

During the intermission, Xie Zheng didn't even bother to go to the toilet. He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

Throughout the first half, Lin Shaojie was a master conductor on the court. The Hawks on the opposite side did not even touch his face a few times. The basketball in his hands was just "going through the motions", but after passing through his hands,

The basketball is as if it has been illuminated, and whoever takes it can score.

The Pacers played too efficiently.

Look at the score on the court, 65 to 41, the Eagles were completely pinned to the ground and rubbed.

Lin Shaojie's 7 points is nothing. The points he would have scored in three shots were one three-pointer and two two-pointers. But 17 assists was a bit too exaggerated. The Pacers played too united and too exaggerated.

On the other hand, the eagle is completely led by the nose.

In the second half, Lin Shaojie sat off the court to rest as expected. The fans at the scene hoped that the Eagles could cheer up and force the rookie on the opposite side to come out.

Don’t you want to compete for the scoring title?

When you sleep, you become numb and get high!

The Pacers faced the Hawks at home, an opponent who had stabbed them in the first half of the season, and cleanly defeated their opponent in only about 20 minutes.

Throughout the second half, the Hawks did not mount an effective counterattack. Even without Lin Shaojie's Pacers, relying on their absolute advantage in the first half, the score difference was kept at around 15 points, a very safe score line.

Even the substitutes are very confident. If they are really beaten by their opponents, they will have the confidence to wake up the No. 13 off the court!

Isn’t it just letting the dogs out? No, it’s about preventing nuclear weapons, who can’t do that?

When the game ended, Lin Shaojie and his teammates high-fived in celebration.

After losing three games in a row in January, the Pacers used a series of four consecutive victories at home to declare that they are the team in the league that has not lost a single game at home so far this season.

On the night of the victory, the Pacers went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to challenge 75 people

Last year's 75ers barely squeezed into the last round of the playoffs, but in the crucial first round, they actually completed an exciting "black eight," record. They defeated the surging Bulls in the first round, but

Unfortunately, they were eliminated by the Celtics in the second round.

This is also one of the few creators of black eight in the NBA who has no sense of existence. The scene that was too ugly was quickly forgotten.

The disruptor of last season has become the weakling of this season. The current winning rate is no more than 40%. The 75ers, who are once again entering the rebuilding period, have almost lost the possibility of squeezing into the playoffs this season.

A feeling of life hanging by a thread!

Facing such a "weak team," the Pacers have never been so-called soft-hearted.

The strength of a strong team is that it usually doesn't lose points that shouldn't be lost, and that's the case with the Pacers right now.

Luo Xiaoou and others who were on another flight followed Xie Zhenghe. Although it was an away trip, the 75 people were very accommodating and gave Lin Shaojie away tickets. Although they paid for it, they could see the popularity of the Pacers.

Damn it, the away team in this game is still full.

The 75ers don't want to be that ignorant team. I still remember vividly the time when a certain team didn't sell a single courtside ticket and allowed the No. 3 pick to score exaggerated statistics.

It’s not like they don’t spend money, so why bother!

If you are more generous, it doesn't matter if you give a few tickets, but 75 people are different from the past, and the landlord's family has no surplus food!

Sitting in the audience, imagining that this is the team that Zhang Dashuai and Iverson once played for, Chen Junren and Yang Wenyuan both seemed a little excited.

Whether the Pacers beat their opponents doesn't seem to matter to them. In fact, the gap in winning rates between the two sides is too large.

After a slightly manic start, facing such an opponent, the Pacers' strong defense from the start made it impossible for the opponent to adapt.

The 75-man front office staff was a little suspicious. We didn't offend each other. Why did we attack so harshly?

In front of all the away fans and his "family and friends", Lin Shaojie showed what it means to be a real devil.

During Lin Shaojie's limited playing time, the 75 players, including Jrue Holiday, Nick Young, Alvin Turner, and even Kwame Brown, enjoyed what is called a hot pot feast and a steal feast.

Jason Richardson, who had just undergone knee surgery, was unable to play. Bynum also disappeared. Almost half of the new 75ers had to use substitutes to fight.

Although talented players are not uncommon, the 75ers deployed a three-guard lineup to get through the Pacers' iron-blooded defense.

But no matter who plays against the Pacers' No. 3 overall pick, there is only one ending: they will be crushed.

In the previous rounds of games, Lin Shaojie, who had completed crazy statistics of scoring and assists, focused his main energy on defense in this game.

The connection between Holiday and Nick Young seemed childish and ridiculous. Lin Shaojie's personal score all came from the direct "tacit understanding" of the two.

Lin Shaojie, who is addicted to stealing, held the 75ers defenders scoreless in the first round and only made mistakes.

The data of 6 steals and 5 blocks constantly reminds the players on the court that the guy opposite is the only current quadruple-double player!

The defensive pressure the Pacers exerted on the 75ers was rare in so many games. This contrast between strength and weakness was very obvious. No one expected that the Pacers would perform so ferociously after the opening game.

As the coach of the 75ers, Doug Collins' face turned green. He felt that after this game, his career was almost over.

Yang Wenyuan and Chen Junren in the audience looked at a familiar scene. This was the state Jiangnan University showed when it faced other college teams during the major leagues a year and a half ago. Now, Lin Shaojie has brought him to the NBA.

Paul George on the court did not expect that when he cooperated with Lin Shaojie to complete the blockade on the outside and Hibbert showed his dominance inside, the Pacers would be so terrifying.

The 75ers have never encountered such a situation. They can't hit the outside and can't receive the pass inside. If they finally catch it, they will face big blocks from Hibbert and even West.

For a long time, the Wells Fargo Center fell from noisy to quiet, and many people were wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.

The Pacers went on a 16-0 run at the start, leaving the 75ers in disgrace.

This beginning may foreshadow the final outcome.

Four quarters of the game, 22-4 in the first quarter, 19-16 in the second quarter, 27-10 in the third quarter, and 20-15 in the last quarter.

Lin Shaojie clocked out of get off work in the third quarter, and his playing time was strictly limited to thirty minutes. He played extremely enchanting basketball.

It can be seen from the scores of the two sides in the four quarters that they rotated when it was time to rotate and played when it was time to play. Except for the time when the substitutes were on the court, allowing the 75ers to gain some points, the 75ers were completely crushed at other times.

The score was 88 to 45, a point difference of more than 40 points, and the 75 people did not even want to attend the post-game press conference.

From the moment when they were beaten and their momentum was completely lost, to the subsequent complete collapse, the two sides did not seem to be in the same league.

The Pacers continued their winning streak, and the 75ers' three-game winning streak was ended.

"Did you see it? Sometimes scoring is not the cruelest thing. This kind of crushing victory can completely destroy the confidence of a professional team. Even if such a player can appear in the playoffs, he will have to bear huge psychological pressure.

."

Xie Zhenghe's words made Yang Wenyuan and others nod their heads, thinking that Jiangnan University's victory might not have been without these psychological advantages.

A group of student soldiers who dominate each school and rarely communicate with each other on a daily basis. When have you ever seen a big devil like Lin Shaojie? If you can't be scared to death when you meet for the first time, it is considered a mature mentality.

When you really get on the basketball court, the opponent is almost armed to the teeth, assaulting the wooden warehouse and mortars, and you have a fire stick. How do you fight?

For a moment, Yang Wenyuan had the illusion that "I can do it if I want to do it." Of course he knew that this was the wrong judgment brought to them by Lin Shaojie, just like what O'Neal said.

"My grandma and Jordan can win the championship as a team!"

Yang Wenyuan could only clenched his fists and thought about how he could learn more from his junior brothers and learn some tips during his time in the beautiful country. Those secrets that are not passed on are all based on experience.

After the game, Yang Wenyuan and the others received news before they even waited for Lin Shaojie.

75ers coach Doug Collins made it clear at the press conference that he will step down as head coach at the end of this season.

Yang Wenyuan and the others never imagined that the NBA is cruel not only to the players, but also to the coaches.

It was just a loss. Halfway through the season, the head coach of the team told everyone directly that I would not play anymore.

Is this coach so tough?

"Compared with last season's record, the 75ers' record this season has made a big start, but if we want to make it to the playoffs, we are still a little behind. Today's game is just the straw that breaks the camel's back."

Xie Zhenghe said so, they waited a long time for Lin Shaojie.

Lin Shaojie himself did not expect that the coach of the 75ers would take the initiative to resign. This... He could already think of the media reports on this matter after this game.

Some are filled with emotion, and some are gloating about the misfortune.

The Pacers, who have completed their away trip, will also return to their home court. The remaining three games are sweet home games, and the level of competition is not as intensive as today.

Raptors, Nets, and Bobcats.

Judging from the current record, only the Nets among these three teams can pose a slight threat to the Pacers.

But these three teams were all defeated by the Pacers. Although the Raptors beat the Pacers by one game, they stole the victory while the Giants were taking a nap.

With the Pacers' winning streak before the All-Star Game, the Eastern Conference teams began to recall the youth team that had not lost a single game at the beginning of the season.

The 75ers' coach resigned, and Collins was no unknown. Everyone knew that the Pacers were just the last straw for the 75ers.

But it still can't stop the media from describing the Pacers as "bullies" in the league!

Even Thomas Robinson of the Kings was brought up to complain. After the rookie selected by the Kings was trained by Lin Shaojie in the military, he had a big mental problem and his death was visible to the naked eye.

Some people even started to shout about the "yellow peril" theory.

As the All-Star Game day approaches, the captain position is established for the first time in the All-Star Game, with Paul in the West and Wade in the East.

Although he has no real power, he only controls US$500,000 in charity funds.

However, as the vote king, Lin Shaojie is not the captain. Is this another balancing act?

But fortunately it was given to Wade and not to anyone else, so everyone could accept it.

In the East, with Salinger and Rondo being reimbursed for the season, the Celtics' ambitions have come to naught. The Celtics, who have no hope of winning the championship, are unwilling to pay the luxury tax.

The Terry introduced this season is almost going to be a victim. It doesn't seem like much, but it is only 1.5 million more than the luxury tax. But as the old saying goes, the straw that breaks the camel's back, no one is willing to spend this money in vain.

The Celtics just revealed the news, and a group of teams began to swarm in, wanting to pursue this veteran with superb shooting skills.

Right now in the East, the rise of the Pacers is unstoppable. When the team sees the Pacers' advantages inside and outside, they want to avoid being crushed in the playoffs and cannot find a good outside line.

There needs to be a shooter who can stand up and challenge the opponent.

Therefore, Terry's popularity is a no-brainer. In addition, sticking to the inside has become an alternative target for many teams.

The Knicks even began to hook up with Timberwolves veteran Amundsen. The latter only had 1.3 points and 2.3 rebounds, but he is a standard blue-collar player who can support other players in the paint and help increase the team's defensive strength.

It is cost-effective and can be used as soon as you get it. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't feel like a loss.

Others, including the Heat, who are aiming for a championship, are looking for suitable big players, and the Heat have now set their sights on Kenyon Martin.

Even Oden has many teams starting to re-offer.

The Pacers' West and Hibbert are inconspicuous at first glance, but the more you look at them, the more talented they are. Especially the latter, when they are rational, it is useless for anyone.

Especially in the past few games, Hibbert, who has played brilliantly, is the most handsome guy in the East. No team that aspires to the championship wants to see itself being crushed like this in the paint!

At the moment, the No. 3 overall pick cannot be suppressed at all. Unless he cripples himself, the opponent's attack is too reasonable, and he can only hope that the Pacers will finish him off.

Whether it's inside or outside, there must be someone who can take advantage of it, otherwise... facing the Pacers' internal and external connections, they will lose miserably.

No one wants to die miserably when facing the Tigers. For most teams, even if they "die", they must die with dignity!

At the same time, the Grizzlies actually sent Gay, the core of the team, to Toronto at this critical moment, shocking the entire league.

Before the news was officially announced to the public, Gasol called Lin Shaojie to inform him of the news.

"Lynn, thank you very much. The uniform team talked to us and Randolph and I have confirmed that we will become the core of the offense..."

What can Lin Shaojie say?

The Grizzlies must have made the right choice!

Randolph has long been disloyal, and Guy is a loudmouth. The core dispute between them has long been on the agenda.

The question of "choose him or me" has long been a rumor among players.

The most important thing is that Memphis is not very popular as a place.

But sending it to Toronto? Getting Eddie Davis, and then getting Prince in a trade?

What a magical operation this is!

No matter how powerful Prince is, he is still not the little prince he used to be. His age is just showing here!

As for Davis, the Pacers faced the Raptors in the first game of the regular season and were not very impressed. As a third-year player, apart from showing a little bit of combat bravery, his strength is not outstanding.

It feels a bit mind-numbing.

At most, it counts as a core player on the bench.

Anyway, in Lin Shaojie's impression, this player is not cost-effective. The most he can say is that he is cheap.

The Grizzlies wouldn't give away their core players in exchange for players like this in order to avoid paying the luxury tax, right?

Just as the Pacers returned to Polis, Kobe called Lin Shaojie and informed him that the final sentence of Van Exessel's son had been announced.

60 years.

Under normal circumstances, "Crazy Fan" would never see his son released from prison.

What can Lin Shaojie say? He is not familiar with this senior. According to Hua Guo's theory, killing someone to pay for life, not to mention it is a vicious thing, and escaping afterwards, such a crime only has sixty years. If you can't even pay for it with your life, it is already considered light.

Judgment.

On the phone, Lin Shaojie skipped this topic that he was not interested in and instead expressed his congratulations to Kobe Bryant for his recent transformation into a passing master.

The Lakers ended their eight-game losing streak on the road. Their record is a visible recovery and they are getting closer and closer to qualifying for the playoffs.

Kobe's transformation is indispensable, but a Kobe who can pass, plus a Nash who can pass?

Lin Shaojie felt a little weird again. After all, Nash is not the kind of player who can catch and shoot, and neither is Kobe. Will there really be no problems if this continues?

But none of this can conceal the improvement of the Lakers' record.

Perhaps in the West, what everyone is competing for now is no longer the first place, but the second place.

After all, no one wants to meet a team like the Lakers in the first round, and they don't want to do something like a black tie even once.

Of course, Kobe would also like to congratulate Lin Shaojie for killing everyone in the Eastern Conference. His scoring, assists, and defense all showed his intimidating power.

Harden, who is now recovering, also scored a triple-double for the first time in his career.

In the Rockets' game against the Bobcats, Harden had a triple-double.

Lynx?

When hearing this, Lin Shaojie and Kobe both laughed.

This year, apart from the Magic being the worst, the Bobcats were the second worst, and in Lin Shaojie's impression, the Bobcats never had a good outcome when they met them.

Either a losing streak or a losing streak.

The Pacers, who returned home, began to face the enemy's challenge. After finishing the game, he will take his "group of relatives and friends" to participate in this year's All-Star Game.

A big party among players!

Larry Bird also returned to the home court after recovering from injury. Although he still serves as a consultant, when Larry Bird sits in the office, everyone knows that he is the boss here. Even the boss Simon,

I just sat aside and listened.

Even the boss is like this, and the general manager, Kevin Pritchard, can only sit next to Larry Bird as a foil.

Larry Bird threw out the information in his hand without saying a word.

"Everyone, take a look, these are the results of our investigation!"

A group of team executives looked at the information in their hands and frowned unconsciously for a while.

"Is there going to be a problem?"

"Are you doubting the professionalism of this investigation information?"

Larry Bird said disdainfully that when he signed Lin Shaojie, there were people questioning his decision behind his back, and the person who spoke was one of them.

"I'm not doubting it, I just think this data is a bit exaggerated."

"Really?"

Larry Bird sarcastically said: "Was our record last year bad? Was it also bad the year before? In other words, as a playoff team, our record can't be compared to those weak teams?

But what was our revenue and attendance in the past? Of the thirty teams in the league, we were almost all between 20 and 27, and almost all of them were at the bottom.

But what about this year? We have become the team with the best growth, and our revenue growth per game ranks first in the league. Do you know who brought this? "

"You, Larry!"

"No, it's not me, it's that child from China!"

Larry Bird disdains the other party's flattery: "You can't even figure out who brings you the income. I think you are really useless in this position. If possible, I really don't want to see you enjoying dividends every year."

That’s fine, why bother showing up to be an eyesore!”

"you......"

"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you the truth?"

Larry Bird has never been a talkative person. Those who like him love him to death, and those who hate him almost hate him with itch.

Now that he is in power, he is logical, he can bring income to the team, he is the uncrowned king here.

"Our survey data is not unexpected. I think it is normal. This is the attraction of superstars. If you don't believe it, we can do a small experiment and make the little guy disappear for two games. What do you think?

?”

"The alliance does not allow such operations?"

"Who said that?"

Larry Bird said disdainfully: "Isn't it normal for a rookie to have minor injuries? If you don't believe it, we can test it."

As he spoke, Larry Bird pointed to the report in his hand: "Except for attendance, at least 40% of our related revenue comes from that guy. Do you know how exaggerated this data is?

The income generated by players like Roy (Hibbert) is actually less than a fraction of Lynn's, let alone our substitute players. They will not bring us direct cash income at all. Look at that kid on the court.

demonstrated combat effectiveness.

I emphasize once again that that is our core asset, and I do not allow anyone, on any occasion, to say anything that may cause misunderstanding. Otherwise, he will be asked to leave this office."
