My basketball vision is different

Chapter 215: The Great Demon King of the Playoffs

Lin Shaojie is sure that the mvp award will fall into the bag with the Pacers' performance, but he dare not guarantee the best team of the season, which is more important to players.

On the one hand, there is only one MVP. This award has made Lin Shaojie, who has been famous for almost a season, already reached a py deal with Stern. The league needs someone to expand his influence, and Lin Shaojie feels that he has the qualifications.

Whether it's the team's record, personal data, or external influence, a coach has an advantage no matter what the occasion, let alone someone like Lin Shaojie.

Even in football, someone as handsome as Beckham can still become one of the top stars of the Galacticos!

Do you dare to say that "Xiao Bei," no, Lao Bei's appearance bonus is much less?

In short, Lin Shaojie knows that the MVP thing is very close, but sometimes he is afraid that people will do something else when it comes to things like one and two.

It's like some units only admit one person during recruitment. In previous years, they would only select the best among the best, and those who think they are not qualified enough will not take it. But one day when the position becomes five people, it is a person or a ghost.

They all wanted to give it a try, but if there were some people who were overestimating their abilities, or if they met some people who wanted to pay attention to the so-called "tradition", Lin Shaojie didn't dare to guarantee it.

Just like ESPN right now, in their predicted lineup, they actually put Lin Shaojie in the second team.

As for Kobe? He’s not even on the second team.

yes.

In the first half of the season, Kobe was a little weak on defense and wasted some time, but in the second half of the season, the team's record cannot be said to be all based on him. That would be unfair to other players, but the critical moments of the battle really depended on him.

Down.

He began to learn to share the ball with Nash, and began to return to his previous defensive intensity.

But you can't even squeeze into the second formation. As the saying goes, talents come out from generation to generation, and each leads the way for hundreds of years.

Lin Shaojie just hopes that this award can be more disciplined and that there will be no behavior like dividing the cake.

Why go to the second team if you can make it to the first team? Is it just because you are a rookie?

"Corvo, I'm leaving!"

"Let's go, let's see you're annoyed!"

"And Corvo, let me remind you again that although your smile is ugly, it is far more heartwarming than when you are usually cool. I hope you can smile more and don't show your molars!"

Before Lin Shaojie finished speaking, a paper cup was thrown over by Kobe. Unfortunately, Lin Shaojie had already walked away.

Well, although Kobe was injured and lost his season, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Kobe Bryant waved goodbye to Lin Shaojie and came in a hurry, but in a hurry, most of the time was given to the journey.

When Lin Shaojie got on the plane, Kobe Bryant secretly took a photo of Lin Shaojie visiting him in front of the hospital bed on his Twitter.

The sun was just right at that time, shining through the gauze into the room. Lin Shaojie, who was half turned around, only showed the side of his face. It was a little unclear and a little hazy. His whole body looked like an angel shrouded in halo. Everything

It's all such a coincidence!

"Although I hate this guy a little, I still thank him for coming to see me. I hope the Pacers will have better results. Come on Lynn, come on the Pacers."

Some people cheer for the walker, while others discourage him.

On the way back, Su Zhen asked Lin Shaojie whether such an injury would have an impact on the team's income. Lin Shaojie shook his head and said that the impact would definitely be there, but not big.

In the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, if the team's five highest-paid players are reimbursed for the season due to injury, as long as they are absent from work for more than 41 consecutive games, 80% of their salary for each subsequent game will be paid by

Insurance wages are paid for.

In addition, there is also a so-called "guaranteed" income between players and teams, and capitalists cannot be that stupid.

This year Kobe's income is close to 28 million, and after playing so many games in the regular season, the last game of the season will be reimbursed, which will not affect his income. If this situation really happens again next season, it will be tragic, but

Kobe has been like this this year. He should be able to learn some lessons next year and not be like this.

Of course, for the team, the direct income has little impact, but the indirect income is not small. How many people come to Staples just for the team's flagship figure, such as tickets, team peripheral products, etc.

It will definitely be affected, but those are nothing.

On the 21st, the Pacers at home faced the visiting Bucks.

In the previous first round of the playoffs, the Heat defeated the Celtics at home. The Celtics took the initiative to change their lineup and replaced Buss with Terry as the starter. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

The Heat encountered some minor twists and turns in the game, but the "aging and declining" Garnett and Pierce were obviously no match for the strong LeBron. The Heat's Big Three worked together to win at home;

Without Rose, the Bulls lost to the Nets in the first round as expected, losing by 20 points in the first half. However, the Bulls in the away game were not without their merits. Noah, who was playing with injuries, caused a lot of damage to the Nets.

Big trouble.

If the Bulls can take advantage of the inside, they are not useless, at least they are still capable of fighting;

The performance of this battle between the Knicks and the Hawks was more obvious. Anthony's skills and experience really made the Hawks uncomfortable. Josh Smith was the king of the Hawks, but "Melon" gave him a good on-site teaching. Although in the first

In the fourth quarter, the Hawks had a chance to catch up, but Anthony scored seven consecutive points and completely defeated the Hawks;

In the West, the Warriors' three-point rain "unsurprisingly" failed to kill the Nuggets. Curry and Lawson had a peak showdown, but unfortunately, it still depends on the veteran at the critical moment. Andre Miller completed the buzzer-beater.

He scored 18 points in the last quarter, allowing the Warriors to swallow a bitter pill in the away game!

Not only that, David Lee even strained his thigh at the beginning of the fourth quarter and had to leave the game early. Otherwise, there would not be the glory of the old Miller in the last moments, and the Warriors' qualifying situation would not be optimistic at once!

It's normal for the Clippers to kill the Grizzlies. After all, the Clippers' regular season record is much better than the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies' advantage in the paint is too obvious. Randolph and Gasol completely beat Griffin in the fourth quarter.

Before the game was over, Griffin was allowed to play six fouls. This was because of the home whistle.

In addition to Chris Paul's outstanding performance, Lin Shaojie actually saw the Clippers' defeat from this game.

If the Spurs beat the Lakers without Kobe, it would be like a father beating his son. You can beat him however you want.

Howard is great! Gasol is not bad either. Nash and Ci Shiping are both powerful. But facing the aging troika and "Kawhi" Leonard, the Lakers have no attacker at critical moments. Ginobi

Leigh only played 19 minutes in total and scored 18 points. What do you want the Lakers to do?

Lin Shaojie could think of the scene where Snail was crying silently. After finally sending the Lakers to the playoffs, this is what he got.

The score difference between the two sides is not big, but for the steady Spurs, everything is based on their rhythm, and the Lakers are completely led by them.

Now, it's the Pacers' turn.

In the first half of the season, facing the unparalleled Pacers, the Bucks actually won a rare victory when the Pacers were at their peak, which shocked many people.

But so what, in the four games this season, a 3-1 winning rate gives the Pacers an innate psychological advantage when facing the Bucks.

In the last few games of the regular season, the Pacers' performance was no better than the Bucks' six-game losing streak.

This caused a misunderstanding for many media who did not know the truth, whether the Bucks had a chance to compete with the Pacers for one or two games.

It is definitely unrealistic to rely on the current Bucks lineup to defeat the powerful Pacers in the series, but it is still possible to steal one or two wins.

Therefore, before the game, Bucks coach Jim Boylan said to the team that if they can find a way to win a victory and win back a game, the Bucks will have exceeded their goals this season.

Of course, Jim Boylan did not expect to defeat his opponent. This is unrealistic.

Playing four games in a season, except for the one when they were stolen by the Bucks, the other three games were each lost more miserably than the last. Regardless of the personal abilities of the players and the execution of tactics, the Bucks were completely incomparable.

At this time, the atmosphere at home was a little more solemn compared to the regular season. After all, this was the first game. As the third overall pick, how much strength could Lin Shaojie display in a big scene like the playoffs?

It’s hard to say whether he is the king of the regular season or the coward in the playoffs.

The lineups sent by both sides are as familiar as ever. Except for the Pacers who have a comeback in Danny Granger, the players on both sides are all very familiar faces.

The Pacers still sent out the starting five, and the Bucks had Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis leading the back line, with Sanders, Mbah a Moute, and Ilyasova leading the three.

People form the front line.

Among the substitutes for both sides, the Pacers have Danny Granger and Lance Stephenson, and the Bucks have Aipai Udu and the 12th rookie John Hansen, plus those who left the Pacers.

Veteran Mike Dunleavy and other players have a very weak presence.

"Be careful of the Pacers' defense and don't make too many moves in front of them, especially in front of No. 13 Lynn. There is already too much evidence to prove that he is a player with outstanding talent but likes to play with his brain.

Don't play tricks in front of him, try to be as concise as possible, pass the ball immediately when you see him, don't hesitate, do you understand?"

The "big test" of the official game was about to come. As the coach, Jim Boylan loudly planned the tactics before the game.

On the other side, the Pacers are relatively quiet. They are the strong ones and cannot be too emotional like the Bucks. In addition, this is Conseco Arena, the home of the Pacers, and the players have psychologically occupied it.

A big advantage.

The offensive tactics are usually laid out in advance by Brian Shaw. Frank still focuses on defense, but the execution must be led by Lin Shaojie.

After Brian Xiao finished speaking briefly, Frank glanced at Lin Shaojie.

"Lynn, in the game we lost to the Bucks, Brandon (Jennings) on the opposite side played good numbers, right?"

Lin Shaojie nodded: "I understand, this game will definitely not let him get what he wants. I will impose restrictions on him."

"I believe you can do it. There is another person, Mike Dunleavy. He is a veteran and has a very stable mentality."

"Don't worry, boss, as long as he plays, as long as he doesn't stand in the paint, Paul (George) and I will let him know that this world is already the world of our young people."

Lin Shaojie's words made his teammates laugh a little. It was obvious that everyone was in a good mood.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Frank finally respected the opinion of the "big brother in the dressing room" in the team. Obviously, this was treatment that Danny Granger did not have before.

At this moment, in the first game of the playoffs of the 2012-2013 season, Lin Shaojie did not make any excuses. When it was time to take responsibility, he had to take responsibility.

First, he looked at Paul George.

"Brother, the area around the three-point line in the backcourt belongs to both of us, is that okay?"

"certainly!"

Paul George nodded: "Are you sure it's okay, 'rookie,' this is your first playoff game?"

"I'll let you know what a powerful demon king is."

Lin Shaojie responded and looked at George Hill: "Don't foul easily on defense. Brandon (Jennings) leaves it to you. Is there any problem? I will help you from the side."

"Of course no problem!"

After receiving the reply, Lin Shaojie turned his head and looked at David West without saying anything. Then he patted the veteran on the shoulder: "David is our most mature player, and we all trust him."

After saying that, he turned to Roy Hibbert and said, "Roy, you are our great treasure. I leave the inside information to you. Can I rest assured?"

"certainly!"

Hibbert's chest was beating loudly. Although he played too much with Paul George that day, he had already recovered after three days of rest.

"ok!"

Lin Shaojie clapped his hands gently and said.

"Then we will definitely win, this is our territory!"

If the broadcast of the regular season in China was bustling and colorful, then in the first game of the playoffs, Yangma made a big bet.

Not only the pre-game preview, but also the golden commentary team, Zhang Weiping and Little Giant appeared in the commentary box, which looked particularly grand.

Mainly judging from various pre-game analyses, the Pacers have no problem passing one round. The Pacers are already a strong team in the playoffs, and now with the joining of super rookies, they are even more powerful.

"Little giant, what do you think of this game?"

Zhang Weiping asked in front of the commentary table.

"The right time, right place and right people, overall, there is no problem for the Pacers to beat the Bucks!"

"But some netizens said that the Bucks were one of the few teams that failed the Pacers in the first half of the schedule!"

"That match is not considered a loss!"

The little giant continued: "I talked with Xiao Lin during the All-Star Game. The team's rotation, the pressure brought by the winning streak, and the intensive schedule, etc., are many reasons, plus Jennings in that game

After hitting a few key shots, the Pacers gave up the game half-sold and half-given.

When it comes to situations like the playoffs, it is impossible for the Pacers to give their opponents such a chance."

"Then will Coach Lin perform as well as always?"

Listening to Zhang Weiping's question, the little giant pondered for only a second or two, and immediately replied: "From my personal point of view, Xiao Lin's mentality is the strongest player in his age group.

Whether he is in the national youth team, the national team or the Pacers, he is the most responsible player. I know what the fans are worried about, but if you lose the last few regular season games, you will lose. With the number one confirmed,

It would be great to rotate more and give teammates more opportunities to rotate.

As for Kobayashi, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Even if he plays abnormally, the Pacers will be doomed. Under this kind of pressure, he will never allow it.

Da Zhi and I have all been in contact with Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin is a player who is easy to talk to and willing to communicate, but on the court, the more critical the moment, the less soft he will be.

As a rookie, who may even win the mvp, we may have a lot of expectations for him, but I also hope that everyone can give him a little more time. Even if he doesn't perform well in this game, it doesn't matter, there must always be something

After an adaptation process, he can lead the team to the league's first record in his rookie season. Players like this are so rare, anyway, I have never seen them on the court."

Although the little giant didn't speak too fully, everyone could understand what he meant.

"I think at this time, the Suns, Grizzlies, some teams, and even the Pelicans regretted it very much. I still remember that the Suns were the first to get Director Lin's draft information, but they rejected Director Lin, and the Pelicans

It was possible to get selected, but they missed it."

"Yes!"

The little giant smiled this time: "I talked to Duncan during this year's All-Star Game, and Popovich is still worried about it. Originally, they also wanted to choose Xiaolin, but Larry Bird stopped him.

.

Looking back now, choosing the Pacers is far more promising than the Spurs. After all, the Pacers have given Kobayashi the core position and treatment. In the Spurs, there are not so many opportunities and ball rights for newcomers..."

With the appearance of the main players from both sides, the fans in front of the TV began to get excited.

This was Lin Shaojie's first game in the playoffs, and Yangma's ratings almost exploded.

Looking at Weibo again, related topics are rushing up one after another. As long as it is related to basketball and the playoffs, the three words "Lin Shaojie" are indispensable. Even the celebrities are constantly posting about it.

A photo of myself sitting in front of the TV watching the game.

Whether it's due to popularity or real fans, before the game started, Lin Shaojie's number of fans on Weibo has begun to reach impossible figures.

Just asking you, how high is the commercial value of this kind of player in China?

If you look at his Twitter and even Facebook, you can see the growth.

As the most popular player in the NBA in the 2012-2013 season, Kobe Bryant was reimbursed for this season. Who else can be responsible for the appearance of the NBA, except Lin Shaojie!

Even Kobe Bryant called Lin Shaojie's name after the Lakers game, saying that he was paying attention to his game and don't be afraid.

A group of people were having a lot of fun watching it!

The game officially begins!

There are seven games in the series. If you want to advance to the next round, you have to win 4 games. Both sides have the home court advantage. If anyone loses the home court, it is equivalent to losing the home court advantage.

Hibbert successfully jumped the ball, and Lin Shaojie took the initiative.

After Lin Shaojie got the ball, the Bucks all retreated. They did not try to defend Lin Shaojie in the half, and only left Monta Ellis in front of the center line to act as an "interception rope."

Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, glanced over and knew the position of the Bucks players on the opposite side. In the opposite lineup, the Bucks didn't even have a pure center. Sanders could play both power forward and center. He and Ilya

Sova is the core of the Bucks inside, and Mbah a Moute is a small forward, but he is not qualified.

Among the entire Bucks' starting lineup, only Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings are capable.

As the Bucks have played four games this season, they are very familiar with Lin Shaojie's offensive routine. In the first quarter, they mainly focused on passing, and then looked at the movements of other Pacers players, all of which were preparing for the ball.

.

Ellis just greeted Lin Shaojie immediately after he passed halftime.

Although he knows that his opponents are very strong, there are many players whose mentality collapses under heavy pressure. No one knows what kind of hardships players who perform well in the regular season will go through in the playoffs.

Some players made it through, transformed, and became stars;

Some people can't bear it, their mentality is broken, and they can't show their strength at all.

Ellis doesn't know what the opponent is like, but the necessary pressure is still given, so Ellis keeps one step away from the opponent to prevent Lin Shaojie from breaking through. You either shoot or pass?

Lin Shaojie also didn't expect that his opponent would give him such a good opportunity to take action in the opening game.

At the top of the three-point line, one meter away, Lin Shaojie stood up and shot a jumper without even taking a second look.

The body leaping high was as sudden as an arrow leaving the string, and the basketball in his hand went straight to the basket with many hopes...

"At the beginning, both sides played very conservatively. Coach Lin pushed forward with the ball...shooting, and he just shot it. This is not at all...no, very reasonable!"

Zhang Weiping never expected that Lin Shaojie would dribble the ball through half the court, his teammates were still running, and the defensive players were only slightly relaxed, so he would take off and shoot without considering the feelings of his opponents and teammates.

"Whoosh!"

The curvature of the basketball was slightly wide, but when it fell into the basket it was as smooth as ever. When the basketball passed the net, it caused ripples like waves and rushed into the hearts of the audience in front of the TV.

Warm and lasting.

"Yes!"

Zhang Weiping said with some excitement: "Coach Lin is so courageous. He shot a three-pointer at the beginning. The Warriors lost the game yesterday, and their three-pointers did not make any difference. I don't know how many fans are saying that you still have to look at the inside at critical moments."

Look at Coach Lin’s first goal and his mentality, this game is stable!”

"We can see from this goal that Kobayashi's mentality is very stable. For a big-match player like him, the more critical the moment, the less likely he will fall behind."

The little giant also seemed relieved and said with a smile.

Ellis at the scene never imagined that he didn't even have a chance to defend, and the opponent completed a shot in front of him.

Although you have known about his three-point threat for a long time, this is the playoffs, and you are just a rookie. This is your first game, so you can't play it safe?

It was the Bucks' turn to attack. Just after halftime, Jennings was closely pressed by George Hill. Jennings passed the ball to Ellis, hoping to regain the ball through a two-on-one.

However, Jennings, who escaped from the defense, did not receive the pass at all. Lin Shaojie was not far from him. If Ellis dared to pass the ball, it would be intercepted.

Just when Ellis was considering whether to pass the ball or break through by himself, George Hill actually "daringly" made a steal.

"George Hill, successfully completed the steal."

Zhang Weiping couldn't believe that the Pacers' perimeter "hole" actually completed a steal against a core player like Ellis in the first playoff game.

After the basketball was released, Ellis immediately counterattacked, but Lin Shaojie had already taken the lead to receive the basketball "clicked" by George Hill.

Jennings, who had just been thinking about attacking, quickly retreated, but when he saw Lin Shaojie striding forward after taking the ball, he could only helplessly watch his back.

The wind blew across my cheeks, the Conseco Arena with nearly 20,000 people was packed with guests, the shouts came from all directions, and everyone's eyes were focused on the speeding No. 13.

One step, two steps...

In just five strides, after getting the basketball, Lin Shaojie rushed into the Bucks' backcourt. Just when everyone thought Lin Shaojie would end the battle with an exaggerated dunk, he stopped in front of the three-point line.

After coming down, I looked back at my teammates and opponents.

Then, just like daily contact, facing the audience's eyes and the camera, slowly closing your eyes... taking off, shooting...

The two-stage take-off has been refined in his hands. Facing the defensive player's "covering his eyes" method, he just relies on his feeling to shoot. At this moment, Lin Shaojie is facing an empty defense!

Some reporters were exclaiming, but most fans couldn't believe it.

But whether they are fans who are close, holding valuable sideline tickets, or fans who are far away, who can only watch the details through the big screen above their heads.

Everyone could see clearly that the No. 3 pick taking off the ball had his eyes closed.

Basketball carries many expectations and hopes, like a rainbow falling into the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Just like the sweet spring flowing in the mountain stream in summer, the entrance is so refreshing that you can't help but let out a cry.

"ah!"

No one expected that the Pacers completed two rounds of offense in less than 20 seconds after the opening.

At this time, the Bucks didn't even knock down the Pacers within the three-point line.

As for Lin Shaojie, who scored 6 points with two consecutive goals, he stopped in the Bucks' half, waiting for the opponent's serve.

For too long, Lin Shaojie has not shown the fans his ability to keep opponents clean.

Except for the earliest fans of Jiangnan University, too many people have only heard of this legend but have not seen this example.

Besides, this is the NBA, can the major leagues compare with him?

Many people have heard Xie Zhenghe tell the legend about the clean sheet opponent, but everyone thinks it is a joke and no one cares.

It's like Garnett can continuously touch the top edge of the backboard. Who can believe it? Is that possible for humans?

But in the eyes of Lin Shaojie, a "hang" player, there is almost no difference between double speed and double speed. How can a player who lacks passing space, height, speed and even strength be inferior to him, how can he score in front of him.

He just wants to try his best to realize what he said as a "joke" before the game, keep opponents clean within the limited time, and strive to become the big devil in the eyes of the Bucks!
