My basketball vision is different
Chapter 209 Granger Comes Back
The Pacers completed a season-long double-play against the Knicks, plus the previous double-play against the Heat.
Good guy, among the troika in the East, only the Pacers are currently outstanding!
As a "non-professional" but extremely popular commentator, Barkley has long become an indispensable member of the NBA in the commentary box.
This time when commentating on the Pacers' game, he screamed again and again. There were really too many scenes that seemed familiar to him.
The Pacers, who were the No. 1 pick in the All-Star Game, did not disappoint in their first game back.
Everyone would have thought that he once again clocked out before three quarters, but the game was far more turbulent than imagined. This one seemed to be even more ruthless, and he almost clocked out in one and a half quarters on the 13th.
Who knew that Anthony would commit suicide in the fourth quarter and force him to play again.
OK!
Great appearance!
Just look at the ratings and you will know that even when he is not on the court, Barkley always says "Lynn is a good player!"
He has a deep understanding of operational thinking and knows what is the highlight to attract the audience.
After Lin Shaojie appeared on the stage, the ratings soared.
When Barkley saw Lin Shaojie landing firmly under Chandler's flagrant foul and looking at the opponent calmly, Feizhu said.
"If it were any other player, there is a high probability that he would fall after landing.
Lin En's core strength is really strong. There is no shortcut to this. It depends on accumulated practice over time. I heard that Lin En has learned from Chinese gymnastics and weightlifting training methods. I think this is why his core strength is so strong.
One of the reasons.”
When Barkley watched Lynn rush inside and complete a layup under the double-team of Chandler and Stoudemire, Barkley praised again.
"Lynn was also a tough guy in our era. He was a player who dared to hit the inside and was not afraid of fighting. In fact, his one-on-one ability was very strong, but his golf IQ was too high and his vision was too broad. Most of the time
He is using these to solve battles. I really feel like he wants to fight like Kobe.
As a 12th draft pick, I only see this in very few players, and Lynn is the most successful one!"
When Lin Shaojie passed and shot with one hand and successfully sent the basketball into the basket, Barkley stood up and exclaimed.
"Lynn's talent is really strong! He can complete the shot completely with one hand and does not need an assist hand at all. Let me ask you, how should you defend against such a player... Oh my God, Linn
He is constantly adjusting his offensive strategy and fighting according to the situation on the field. He is so smart."
In this way, after O'Neal, another "Lin Chui" seems to have appeared.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Lin Shaojie wiped his sweat and walked towards Anthony and gave him a gentle hug.
It’s not a life-or-death enemy, it’s just a love-hate relationship between brothers. It doesn’t matter. We all have families and are the bosses of various teams. Be generous!
"How about I treat you to a casual meal when you have time?"
"We have to play against the Raptors the day after tomorrow, forget it!"
Anthony had to refuse.
"Raptors? Just have the skills to beat them!"
Lin Shaojie said indifferently, and Anthony's eyes almost popped out.
Although the Raptors feel like a weak team, don't forget that they have introduced Rudy Gay. The current Raptors are not the Raptors in the first half of the season, but they are still very impactful.
.
Before the All-Star Game, the Knicks had a game with the Raptors, and the result was not good. The Knicks lost to their opponent cleanly.
Anthony played like shit in that game, it sucked.
Besides, with the loss to the Pacers in this game, the Knicks have lost three consecutive games.
If they face the Raptors in the next round, if they really lose to their opponents and the Knicks lose four consecutive games, they will fall out of the troika.
Anthony doesn’t want to lose to his opponent!
Lin Shaojie waved his hands, left Anthony's side, and threw himself into Kidd's arms!
"Jason (Kidd), are you okay?"
"Not good, not good at all!"
Kidd said so, but with a smile in his eyes.
In the Knicks, he is in a semi-retirement state, and in many cases, he is even the leader of the locker room and half assistant coach.
Having won the championship with the Mavericks the year before last, Kidd's life has been complete. No matter what the result is with the Knicks this year, he has already decided to retire.
As a legendary point guard at a historical level, he is a player worthy of entering the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Such a calm-minded veteran thinks more about problems than from the player's perspective.
Assistant coaching is definitely a step he must take in the future. Kidd must have made a choice to come to New York.
Anyway, Kidd, who spent a lot of money to buy a house in the Big Apple, has already decided on his next home, either the Knicks or the Nets, whichever is more comfortable for him.
From this point of view, Kidd doesn't care at all whether he wins or loses the game at this time. Maintaining friendship with Lin Shaojie is what he wants to do.
Obviously, the two people have a lot in common, but time does not allow!
In front of reporters' cameras, players from the two eras communicated enthusiastically and comforted each other.
The winner is humble, the loser is free and easy!
At the post-game press conference, Lin Shaojie did not attend, but Paul George, who performed equally well in the game, went.
With a score of 125 to 91, all members of the Pacers, who brutally beat the Knicks, were in high spirits, and Paul George, the second in command, was not afraid.
Lin Shaojie, who scored 37 points, 18 assists, 7 rebounds, 7 steals and 5 blocks, finally moved his scoring average up a little bit.
Paul also had excellent statistics of 27 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds. The Pacers' "double gun" combined to score 64 points!
gorgeous!
"Everyone knows that as long as Lynn stays on the court for a while, he will get amazing data, but we all know that he is not the kind of player who pursues data. We are a tight team and he is used to it.
He put the most difficult task on himself, so when he came off the field, we played very easily..."
After Paul George finished speaking, coach Frank took the microphone.
"Winning is a normal thing for us. We are on the right path this season. We are the most united team in the league. Whether it is the Knicks or the Heat, we have nothing to fear...
..."
In the locker room, Danny Granger, who had not seen him for a long time, took off his suit, sat in it, and played with his teammates.
The people are still the same, the core just has Lin Shaojie, the others remain the same, there must be some changes among the substitutes, but they all had in-depth contact before the season.
The main players, including Lin Shaojie, were all saying hello to Granger, but a group of substitutes were a little at a loss.
They didn't know whether the Lin Shaojie in front of them was being hypocritical, or whether he was really so warm and hospitable.
They definitely wouldn't dare to do such a thing as "Welcome the Second Emperor of Huiqin". With Lin Shaojie's friendly expression, who knows what he was thinking.
Lin Shaojie didn't think too much about the mentality of his younger brothers. No matter how much he talks, it's better to do more. The better Granger's body recovers, the more helpful it will be for the following playoffs.
"When can I play?"
In the corner, Lin Shaojie asked directly. This was completely different from the question in front of reporters.
"I want to fight in the next game!"
Granger said without hesitation.
"Next, we will play back-to-back games with the Pistons. It will be very unfriendly to your body to play in the next game. Otherwise, you can get used to it during the away game. I will try to create more opportunities for you. After the game, we will also
How about giving you two or three days of rest to adjust?"
Lin Shaojie thought for a while and said.
He asked the question and gave the answer. Perhaps in his opinion, it just made Granger feel at ease and made it easier to accept!
"Can!"
Granger said it was no problem, and soon the laughter and laughter in the locker room returned to its usual state.
After the press conference ended, Paul George drove Granger back personally to show how much he valued his former boss!
Lin Shaojie stayed at Frank's suggestion.
"You mean to have Danny (Granger) play in Game 2 against the Pistons?"
There were only two masters and apprentices left in the office, and Frank was walking and thinking.
"Yes, the feedback from the team doctor confirmed that he can play, but the back-to-back games are too intensive. It is better to play in the second game. After such a long rest, he has to adapt slowly."
"I have been with this team for three years, and I know Danny well. He is extremely arrogant in being able to make Paul George willing to be his younger brother.
Due to injuries, he may give up his core position, but when he becomes a starter, he will definitely try to regain his original feeling."
Frank once again kindly reminded that although Granger was also his general, the Pacers were in better shape than ever before. No team this season is better than the Pacers at this time. This is also
The closest the walker is to the target.
If anyone destroys Frank's hope, he will never allow it, not even Granger!
"Frank, I don't think there's any need to worry!"
Lin Shaojie stood up and said, pointing on the tactical board.
"Although I don't have a complete concept of how to use Danny, I can think of him as another Paul (George). To me, it is two swingmen."
Saying that, Lin Shaojie pointed at himself happily.
"If I can lead two Pauls (Georges), I believe that even if we lack inside players, the Heat will be overwhelmed by these two people, and I only need to shoot from the outside at any time. It will never be easier.
of the game.
I can try it out in the next game, and if it succeeds, then George Hill can only be the sixth man."
Seeing Lin Shaojie's eyes shining with hope, Frank also wanted to try that situation.
Danny Granger and Paul George have too many similarities in their statures and fighting styles. Maybe they chose Paul George in the first place just to prepare a "connection between the past and the future", but no one expected that Paul.
George will rise to the top so quickly.
Second only to the rise of Lin Shaojie!
"But there is a premise for this, that is, Danny's body must be healthy, otherwise..."
Lin Shaojie didn't say anything, both of them understood.
"As for the core position, I believe that as long as Danny is not the kind of person who is obsessed with profit, he will be able to realize what he should do after a few games.
If he still tries to get back to the core position at that time, I think Larry (Bird) will make the right choice."
These words made Frank nod. Larry Bird forced Lin Shaojie to take the position. Standing firm for a moment was because the player was forced by his "power". Being able to stand firm all the time was the player's own ability.
As for the question of "choose me or him", it has long existed among various teams in the NBA. Danny is not stupid, and he can't say that, "I thought I chose him to help me."
!
The Pacers' Danny Granger is about to return, which became one of the biggest news of the day in the NBA.
As the team with the best record in the league, the Pacers are no longer unknown at this time. Even though Indianapolis is just a small ballpark, they still can't stop their enthusiasm from spreading, and the whole city is crazy about it.
As the core of the "old era", Granger's return at this time will continue the Pacers' glory, or will the record be damaged due to changes in the core lineup. Everyone is looking forward to seeing an official result.
As the Pacers' next opponent, the Pistons are undoubtedly a good test object, and the Pistons have to play two games in a row with the Pacers. For both parties, this back-to-back is very unfriendly.
On the other side, for unknown reasons to the outside world, the relationship between Kobe and Howard seemed to have eased after the All-Star Game. In the first game after the All-Star Game and they defeated the Celtics at home, they appeared after the game.
A magical scene.
Looking back, Lin Shaojie watched the game video. Kobe's performance was average and not outstanding. On the contrary, Howard's performance was eye-catching, and he felt like he was back at the top.
Although it was the Lakers who won, it felt like a weak victory. Including Kobe, three people from the Lakers were defeated one after another, which shows the intensity of this game.
Things like the yellow-green war can only be one of the "legacy". Players from both sides must fight hard here, just like the Pacers facing the Pistons. At the very least, they must show a feeling of "righteous indignation and the same hatred of the enemy", otherwise
The fans of the home team will scratch you and think you are disloyal!
As the super general of the Lakers' defense, Nash received 7 assists in this game, surpassing Magic Johnson and becoming fourth in history.
Although Pierce scored 13 points in a single quarter and almost led his teammates to victory, it was a pity that the Lakers' substitute backcourt shot three consecutive three-pointers to stop the Celtics.
The three-pointer is really a magical skill, and it is very effective in chasing and pulling points. Every team is paying more and more attention to this. If any team does not have one or two three-pointers, it is definitely a loser!
In the post-game interview, everything was normal until Kobe left the Staples Center. A reporter stopped him midway and suddenly asked him a relatively sensitive question.
"Kobe, there are rumors outside that the Lakers may trade Howard. What do you think about this?"
"His (Howard) contract is about to expire, but we have been getting commitments not to renew it. Although I admire him for playing through injuries, I still feel that he lacks enough toughness and desire to help the Lakers out of trouble.
Spirit.
His contract extension is not only a concern for me, but also a concern for Steve (Nash) and Paul (Gasol). This will make all of us suspect that he (Howard) lacks enough desire to win to welcome the next step.
Down the challenge.
so......"
Kobe, wearing sunglasses, paused for a moment, and then answered affirmatively: "If the team finally decides to trade Howard, I will not object! I welcome him to stay, but please renew the contract as soon as possible."
Kobe's statement obviously focused the internal conflicts of the Lakers under the light of the media. Perhaps Kobe was angry ever since Lin Shaojie revealed the news to him.
In the end, it got to the point where it was unbearable, and Howard's decision not to renew his contract also showed that it was impossible for him to stay with the Lakers.
Not renewing the contract at this moment is not selling for a price, but looking for another place.
In everyone's opinion, whether it's the Rockets, the Mavericks or even the Nets, Howard has no shortage of potential buyers anyway. Instead of hanging on the Lakers ship, it's better to find a better place. After all, the Lakers belong to Kobe. Howard feels
His shadow was everywhere, making it very uncomfortable.
In the evening, it was Lin Shaojie who took the initiative to call Kobe.
"Corvo, why did you declare your position in advance?"
"I'm done!"
Kobe said nonchalantly that after he made his statement, the top management of the Lakers, who were still in turmoil after the turmoil, called Kobe and expressed their support for him, even though in today's game, Howard's performance was far better than Kobe's.
"You know, his unprofessionalism makes me feel bad. Los Angeles is too big for Howard. His mind here is not on the court at all. He knows better than me how many bars there are in Los Angeles.
Most importantly, his contract issues have never been resolved..."
"But you shouldn't reveal it in front of reporters, even in the locker room."
Lin Shaojie said with some regret that Corvo was still like a child at this age and had no authority at all. If he had known this, he would not have revealed the news to him.
It's good now. According to the media, a bad debt can be blamed on Kobe in the future.
"Not only me, but Steve (Nash) and the others also expressed their support for me."
Lin Shaojie listened to Kobe's nagging on the phone for a long time. Obviously, the death of Old Buss, the turmoil among the Lakers' top management, and the conflicts among the players. When everything came together, Kobe
Some broke out.
"Don't forget, the most important thing for you right now is to fight for a spot in the playoffs. If you say something like this at this time, what will the insider do?"
"At worst, I'll do it myself. Paul (Gasol) is still here, and we don't lack insiders."
Kobe said nonchalantly, and Lin Shaojie almost gasped when he heard it: "Brother, you don't even look at your own age. If you say something like this at your age, you really think you are just like me, under twenty!"
Lin Shaojie's words made Kobe almost vomit blood: "You are young and you are amazing. Why, do you look down on me?"
"Hey, you're right. I just look down on you. You're so old and you're so passionate. Does the team belong to your family? Is it necessary for you to be like this? Do you worry about what the manager does?
Believe it or not, if you continue to play for as long as you did before, beating you in the playoffs will be as easy as cutting butter with a hot knife.
You are a lot of years old, so be more discerning!"
"Stop minding my business and mind your own business!"
Kobe said angrily: "Don't think I don't know. Danny is back. When the time comes, your core will be robbed. You will cry."
"Don't worry, you really don't have to worry about this!"
Lin Shaojie replied confidently: "In just a few games, I can get Danny to call him 'Dad,' do you believe it?"
Kobe was silent and didn't respond for a while.
"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your acquiescence. Do you need to worry about such a simple thing? Less playing time and more opportunities for others. Don't let the time come when no one is available and you cry when the time comes."
"I know my body well. It's healthier than yours. We will definitely make it to the playoffs. Anyway, we'll wait and see! Whoever can't finish will get a treat."
"Okay, let's wait and see!"
Lin Shaojie, who had outstanding statistical performance, only received an "Oh" response from the entire league, and everyone seemed to be used to it.
On the contrary, it was the Suns' Dragic who scored 18 assists and was praised by people.
But in addition to 18 assists, that is, 16 points. Compared with Lin Shaojie's data, Dragic's data is too domestic, but the league has seen a miracle.
Lin Shaojie's all-round performance hardly received much praise, as if everything was normal.
The Suns, who were last in the Western Conference, completed a victory, and Dragic was the savior.
Life is so magical!
After a day's rest, the Pacers welcomed the Detroit Pistons at home.
Danny Granger sat on the bench. Everyone in the team knew that Granger would not play in this game. He was just allowed to feel the atmosphere.
The uninformed audience gave this former core member a loud round of applause.
Facing such an "unrecognizable" Pistons, all the familiar players fell apart in the "Battle of Auburn Hills". Granger, who was sitting off the court, was filled with emotions.
The starting lineups of both sides are very familiar, except for the Pistons' Knight who did not come due to injury.
In addition to their reputation, the current Pistons are lucky enough to enter the playoffs. How can they be compared with the Pacers, who are number one in the league!
Therefore, the game was very easy from the beginning. The Pacers started with an 8-0 score. Lin Shaojie's combination benefited Hibbert and George Hill internally and externally.
The Pistons relied on Calderon to finally break the scoring drought, and the Pacers scored two three-pointers in a row, with a score of 14 to 2. Granger's hands were itching off the court and he wanted to play right away.
Lin Shaojie's subsequent blockade of Calderon, coupled with his intimidating power on the outside, made the Pistons play like a "part-time job" team. They could only hit here and there with a hammer, and anyone could beat them.
He shoots, but doesn't score much.
The inefficient Pistons only scored 10 points in the first half of the first quarter, while the Pacers, playing at home, scored 29 points. The 19-point gap made it easy for Lin Shaojie to make the rotation.
Granger hugged Lin Shaojie hard as he came off the field.
"Awesome Lynn, we are so strong!"
"Yes, as long as you recover, we will be stronger. We will overcome all enemies, including Heat, and finally reach the end."
Lin Shaojie's words made Granger nodded vigorously.
During the rotation, except for the Pistons' Krazov who scored four points, the Pistons once again fell into a scoring drought. By the end of the second quarter, the Pacers had entered the halftime break with a 24-point win over 60-36.
link.
The contrast between strength and weakness was particularly obvious. In the third quarter, although Granger was very eager to play, Lin Shaojie still comforted Granger.
"Let's go to the next game. We still have two months of games, which is enough for you to adjust and enter the playoffs!"
In the end, Granger was "pushed" off the court by Lin Shaojie.
In fact, Lin Shaojie knew very well that at this time, facing the Pistons who were as big as fish belly, it would be best for Granger to appear. The Pistons' confidence was almost gone.
But Lin Shaojie, the boss, has already said that if Granger is to play in the next game, how can it be changed overnight? If a leader does this, it won't take too long for the people below him to treat your words as farts.
So even if you are wrong, you have to keep doing it until your head is bruised and bleeding, and you have to turn the car around.
Most of the people who focus on one path to the end...end in failure.
Anyway, some people found a way out and parted the clouds to see the dawn;
Some people were killed on one head, and when they were falling apart, the people below secretly cursed, "Silly!"
The kind that adjusts its strategy from time to time is almost... dead!
No matter how you look at it, it is a dead end, and only a few people can survive. Life is so difficult!
David West, who sat aside and said nothing, looked like a sage again.
"Sure enough, I am the most sober person in the Pacers team. No one is more sober than me!"
"David!"
Lin Shaojie suddenly shouted, and West turned around with a smile on his face: "What's wrong, Linn?"
"Why don't you have a drink with Danny tonight? Let's win again tomorrow!"
"good!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
West couldn't describe what it felt like. Every time he felt that he had discovered something and was muttering in his heart, Lin Shaojie would chat with him. What a strange feeling!
"That kid won't see that I am a wise man!"
In the third quarter of the game, Lin Shaojie came up and played for two minutes in the second half of the quarter to give an explanation to the fans present.
Lin Shaojie hit three three-pointers in a row within two minutes, three consecutive hits, and the score difference instantly increased to more than 40 points. Lin Shaojie himself didn't want to play, because the rebuilt Pistons were too stretched.
Anyway, after leaving the game, until the end of the fourth quarter, the Pistons did not bring the score within the Pacers' safety line (within 20 points).
The final score was 114 to 82, a 32-point difference that made the Pistons lose face.
After the game, a group of people also hurriedly dealt with the matter, and then both parties packed their bags and headed for Detroit.
Tomorrow, the two sides will usher in a new battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Can the Pistons make a comeback?
How much has Granger recovered? How much impact will it have on the Pacers?
All in back-to-back games on the second day.
