My basketball vision is different
Chapter 225: The Eastern Finals Attack
"The Pacers have advanced. They have advanced to the finals of the Eastern Conference. They will wait for the winner between the Heat and the Knicks."
Yang Yi, who was sitting in the commentary box, said with full emotion.
"Now, I think the audience sitting in front of the TV is as excited as I am.
As Coach Lin who entered the playoffs for the first time and led the team to this point, he used his outstanding performance to prove that he is not a flash in the pan rookie, he is qualified to become a legend of this era."
Zhang Weiping, who was sitting opposite Yang Yi, was equally excited.
"Perhaps many years later, we will all remember this scene before us, not everyone will become someone else's memory.
Coach Lin, he used his superb skills to show the beauty of basketball to the fullest. I am very lucky that I saw him with my own eyes at his most beautiful age, and our deep love has not been let down.
As a hero who once led the Chinese men's basketball team to a bronze medal, Coach Lin used his perseverance to lead the team to where it is now.
Maybe every period of youth will grow old, but deep in our memories, I think, like Yang Yi, I will leave a special place for Director Lin. He has become an indelible memory of this era.
We have witnessed his growth, his smile, his talent, his achievements...
He reminds me of a saying, when fate whispers to the warrior, telling him that you cannot withstand the storm, and the warrior whispers back.
I am the storm!
Now, when the team encounters difficulties, Coach Lin responds with 24 points and 6 assists in a single quarter. The Pacers with him are invincible."
In the United Center, the Pacers did not feel sad because Lin Shaojie's Pacers were the away team. On the contrary, the fans applauded in unison after the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
As a favorite among the players, this time, he can embrace his opponents enthusiastically.
Nate Robinson's face was full of disappointment, and Jimmy Bartley couldn't hide his discomfort. On the contrary, Richard Hamilton was used to the ups and downs on the court. As an experienced "loser,"
," Hamilton and Lin Shaojie hugged each other vigorously.
"Congratulations, rookie!"
"Thank you, I'm not a rookie who can only shoot three-pointers!"
As soon as Lin Shaojie finished speaking, Hamilton burst into laughter.
"Rip (Richard Hamilton), are you sure you're okay?"
"Of course, it's never been better!"
Hamilton responded with a smile: "I have figured out some things. Now this world is yours and yours."
With that said, Hamilton hugged Lin Shaojie again and whispered in his ear: "Kill the little emperor and win the final championship."
"Are you sure the Heat can advance?"
"Of course, I know the Knicks very well. They don't have the belief that they will win. No matter what the process is, the final winner will definitely be the Heat."
"Okay, if you really succeed, I will help you fulfill your wish."
The two people who finished their conversation laughed in unison.
Perhaps this is the dream of all "civilian" players. There are few players in the league who are like LeBron, who have been the favored players since entering the league.
Maybe the previous Grant Hill was one, but injuries ruined him.
Before Kobe became the Black Mamba, he mostly lived under the wings of O'Neal, not to mention that after the Eagle County incident, Kobe gradually drifted away from the "Proud One of Heaven".
"Yes, I will."
Lin Shaojie feels that he continues to move forward with the hope of many people.
After the players from both sides separated, Lin Shaojie, who returned to the Pacers lineup, was thrown out by his teammates again and again. Although this was not a championship, but for being able to defeat the opponent so cleanly, it was not an exaggeration to say that they gave Lin Shaojie this honor.
Hamilton, who was observing all this from a distance, was in a daze for a moment before taking the microphone handed over by the reporter.
"Although being eliminated is a very painful thing, looking at players like Lynn, the future of the league should get better and better...
Yes, I had tit-for-tat moments with him in the second and third quarters, but I'm old and he's young and not even in the prime of his career, and compared to me, Lynn
He has great advantages. His ability without the ball is the first among the new generation of players, and his ability to hold the ball is also among the top ones. I believe that even if the league has not entered the era of "Lynn" at this time, it will still be the best among the new generation of players.
It's fast. If the Pacers have better luck, I think they will make it to the final step.
After all, they are the team that beat us..."
Reporters don't know what the "Lynn Era" in Hamilton's words looks like, but as the first team in the East and West to enter the finals, the Pacers have won four games in two consecutive rounds and zero opponents. They are in great shape.
.
Let's look at the Heat and the Knicks, but they are inseparable. If this continues, both the Heat and the Knicks will be at a disadvantage when facing the Pacers.
The news that the Pacers entered the Eastern Conference Finals early also spread throughout the league in a short period of time after the game.
Lin Shaojie, who scored 24 points in a single quarter and 38 points in the game, once again became the darling of the media. Especially in the second quarter, the Pacers No. 13 and Hamilton battled wits and courage without the ball, and the mutual pull was a textbook.
level.
Although neither side scored much, that kind of movement was favored by the coach.
One is old and experienced, using rhythm and teammates' screens to avoid;
A young and energetic person who can give full play to his own advantages and shows proficiency is heart-wrenching to see. You can only imagine how many times that young man has studied it in private.
When I think about the players in my team who only have bodies and no brains, I really want to open their heads and let them take a closer look at what movement is.
As for Lin Shaojie's "explosive" scoring in the third quarter, the members of the coaching staff took it for granted. It was all the foreshadowing, and the final achievement was like harvesting fruits in the golden autumn. They were all seeds planted during spring plowing.
.
Isn't it easy to score when a player like Hamilton is tired?
At the post-match press conference, Frank was full of praise for Lin Shaojie.
"Lynn? He is our core. He is a firm tactical executor and an excellent shooter. He can do almost anything, whether it is a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, with or without the ball, he will use every skill
Once you practice it to the extreme, any single item will become a sure-fire skill for other players.
This is not my opinion alone, but the opinion of all members of the Pacers coaching staff. Although he has the largest number of followers in the league on Twitter, he has never publicized this. I think he is not as fashionable as me.
"
Frank's words made the reporters at the scene laugh.
"Everyone watched the game. When Richard (Hamilton) left, he was full of expectations and blessings for Lynn. This is what the league should be like. I also said that Lynn is a low-key person and he is the coach's heart.
The best player in the world, a team player, a leader, and a defensive master. I love Larry Bird's decision. He chose a player for the Pacers for the next ten or even fifteen years.
The core of…”
Frank's rare verbosity can be seen by everyone. The Pacers who entered the Eastern Conference finals have swept away last year's sluggishness. All that's left is to defeat their opponents and enter the finals.
And in Frank's mind, the best opponent is the Heat. Only winning that victory over the enemy is the best revenge script.
The Pacers expect this, and even many people expect this.
Unfortunately, the Heat, who were leading 2-1, lost to the Knicks at home in the fourth game on the road. The series score between the two sides became 2-2.
Perhaps because he was scolded badly in the last game, in this round, the Knicks showed rare iron-bloodedness. Anthony once again transformed into an offensive master, defeating his opponent LeBron one after another on the offensive end.
As for Flash Wade, he only played well for half a game due to injuries, and was then put on the bench by the coach.
The bitter consequences of failure have made both sides feel the pain. Whether the Heat or the Knicks want to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, they must win two games in a row at the earliest.
As for their next opponent, the Pacers have already begun to enter the recovery period.
One is waiting for work, while the other is trying his best. You don't need to think about it to know that no matter who enters the Eastern Conference finals, the final battle will be tragic.
In the Western Conference, the Grizzlies, who continued to play at home in Game 4, narrowly defeated the Thunder with a score of 103 to 97.
Gasol and Randolph both scored 20 double-doubles in the paint. Durant's 27 points didn't help matters, and his 10-for-27 shooting rate couldn't resist the "Black and White Bears" in the paint.
rule.
The Thunder, who originally wanted to achieve miraculous results with a small lineup, did succeed during regular operations, and they eventually tied with the Grizzlies.
However, after entering overtime, Tony Allen completed a fatal block on Fisher from the outside. The Thunder could only adopt foul tactics to try to delay the death time. Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Durant's three-pointer at the last moment failed.
In the middle, Thunder can only fall sadly.
The 3-1 series also allowed the Grizzlies to seize the match point.
On the other side, the Spurs, who were also playing away games, lost to the Warriors, who were playing at home. With a score of 87 to 97, the Warriors actually defeated their opponents in overtime.
This game is a very good example of the old saying that an old man in a family is like a treasure. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Old Jack (Jerrett Jack) in the fourth quarter, the Warriors would never have been able to drag the score into overtime, let alone
Maybe beat the opponent in overtime.
Thompson's poor performance allowed him to score only 10 points. If he hadn't hit a key three-pointer, his presence in this game would have been zero.
"Elementary schoolboy" Curry scored 22 points, plus Barnes' 26 points and Jack's 24 points. The outstanding performance of these three people was the key to the Warriors' victory.
This was not the first time that the Spurs had no touch in overtime. The inexplicable cold touch made coach Popovich want to worship the gods.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as age increases, the Spurs' main attacker has shifted from Duncan to Parker, and Duncan's more task is to focus on defense.
Of course, the forever No. 21 rookie is the forever rookie, and he is still trustworthy at critical moments. As for this game, especially during the overtime, everyone’s touch dropped to freezing point. No one expected this, and losing is just a matter of time.
Lose!
Duncan's performance is good enough. 2-2 is not the end of the world. The Spurs have always been a team that gets more courageous as they fight.
...
All members of the Pacers returned to Indianapolis and enjoyed the glorious moment of being greeted by fans for the second time. Everyone knew that if they could win in the Eastern Conference Finals, more fans would come than this time.
As for winning the final "crown," I'm afraid I can't think about it. The scene is so wonderful that it makes people easily get carried away!
As the most popular player on the team, Lin Shaojie was naturally called upon by the fans at the airport, but none of the players were jealous. This is what he deserves.
After two rounds of the series, Lin Shaojie's statistics began to increase, making him more competitive and valuable than in the regular season.
After eight games, Lin Shaojie's average points per game has reached 33.4 points. Compared with the 27 points per game during the regular season, it has increased by 6 points. The assists have not changed much. At the level of 14, these two items alone
Data, if you can persist to the last step, a new record may be born.
While recovering and exercising while waiting for the opponent's Pacers to come out, the team's non-frontline staff are far busier than the players.
The coaching staff will analyze every piece of information collected and then find corresponding cracking tactics.
This kind of prior work is far more tedious and complicated than imagined.
Having reached the Eastern Conference Finals, for the Pacers, it is no longer just a matter of considering the next opponent. Now they are even beginning to consider the opponent in the finals.
As the first team in the league to enter the conference finals, the Pacers have a huge advantage. Currently, only David West is the main player in the team with potential injuries. The other players have performed very well, and
This is still due to West's old age. Compared with other teams, the Pacers' performance was great.
Even the Spurs, as an imaginary enemy, have more hidden dangers in their team than the Pacers.
As the next opponent, the Knicks or the Heat, except for Anthony, who is a difficult target for the former, the other players do not do much harm to the Pacers. Jr. Smith can only use it well, but he can hurt himself if he uses it badly.
Except for the main players, the Heat have almost no substitutes available. Even if they can be used, the Pacers are not worried.
Moreover, among the Big Three who are the main force of the Heat, Wade has always suffered from hidden injuries. LeBron really takes the most credit for the Heat to get to this point this year.
Among all the information collected, LeBron's "ambivalent" state also made the Pacers' coach feel strange. He would work hard to pursue defense, but also stand aside and watch indifferently;
He will compete with passion like a warrior, and he will flop on the court like a clown...
As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but when the coaching staff looked at No. 13 Lin Shaojie on the training field, including Frank and others, they were all very pleased.
This is what a core should be like. Things like flopping cannot be done by the No. 3 flower show.
Sometimes, Su Zhen would show up at the training ground with a bulging belly and stare at her for a while.
This has almost become the most beautiful scenery after training.
The East and the West may have different body aesthetics, but their pursuit of beautiful faces is still almost similar.
Su Zhen's face is impeccable. Although she does not have a celebrity halo, nor any blessings such as supermodels or Internet celebrities, beauty is beauty. Even her bare face cannot conceal her oriental beauty, let alone her eyes. of love.
That's something that's rare to see among so-called "celebrity" couples. For the group of people in front of the camera, "showing" and "acting" are more important. Everyone knows it very well, and maybe it's even a business deal!
Everyone knows about the relationship between Su Zhen and Lin Shaojie. After all, they are classmates. Such childhood sweethearts are also popular in the beautiful country. But at the training ground, the most popular person is not Su Zhen, but standing next to her. Su Mu.
If the Chinese people were not exposed to wind and sun every day, they would not look old at all, let alone someone as pampered as Su's mother.
If you insist on calling her "sisters", it would be a lie, but Su Mu's decent dress, simple yet gorgeous, made the members of the coaching staff take the initiative to bring her coffee.
Even Frank, the coach, joked about whether Lynn's mother-in-law was single. Several high-quality and beautiful Chinese men had expressed interest in her.
"No, I think you have misunderstood. My father-in-law is a very rich man."
Lin Shaojie could only "sternly refuse," and at the same time secretly took some photos and sent them to Su Zhen, asking her to put some eye drops on his father-in-law.
There are times when I go back and it’s time to come here and have a look. Don’t just focus on business all day long. You won’t make enough money.
Su Zhen looked at the photos on her phone and laughed, making a goose cry of "goose, goose, goose." Then she handed it to her mother, who "glad at it with anger." In the evening, she even made an extra stir-fried pork shoot with bamboo shoots for her son-in-law. .
All is said without saying anything!
The contrast between the dullness on the training ground and the domestic news is very obvious.
Lin Shaojie entered the playoffs for the first time, was elected MVP for the first time, led the team to the conference finals for the first time...
This piece of news bombarded domestic fans almost overwhelmingly. Some viewers who did not pay much attention to basketball games also began to take a closer look. As for that group of fans, Lin Shaojie's performance was even more cherished.
Whether it is forums or sports news, it can be exposed in front of all users from time to time. Lin Shaojie, as the most popular fried chicken in the sports world, is unmatched.
And the drink that Lin Shaojie often holds in his hand - bodyarmor, has also begun to enter the eyes of the majority of users.
This drink was founded in New York and was later invested heavily by Lin Shaojie, who later took Kobe Bryant as a shareholder. Because of its natural selling point, it became a popular sports drink. The lack of sales channels even led to the loss of beautiful products produced in China. There is a situation where drinks have to be "resold" to China.
Kobe, who was still recovering from his injury, took the initiative to call Lin Shaojie because he felt that this matter had to be said.
"People from Coca-Cola contacted me again. They want to buy my shares. What do you think?"
After finishing training, Lin Shaojie was walking home with Su Zhen. The bright sunshine was shining on him, and from time to time, a group of children passed quickly through the grass in the neighborhood.
After seeing Lin Shaojie, the group of children were first surprised, and then shouted excitedly.
"Lynn, you will win the championship, right?"
A group of children waited stupidly for Lin Shaojie's "ok" gesture, and then ran past the two of them like a gust of wind.
It's so peaceful, but among this group of children, only one has black skin. That guy's father is an executive in a local company, and he is one of the few people of color in the entire community.
Of course, Lin Shaojie is now the most well-known community resident. It can be said that the entire community is his fan circle and support group.
As for Kobe's question, Lin Shaojie quickly gave the answer.
"Personally, I am still optimistic about the company in the long term. Although Mick (CEO) has many problems, as the boss, he is impeccable. His goals are consistent with ours, and he has not blocked our share transactions.
Of course, if you are not short of money and need it urgently, I suggest you continue to hold it. By the way, what valuation did Coca-Cola give this time?"
As the largest individual shareholder of this sports drink, Lin Shaojie relied on his money and reputation to invest in the stock last year. Later, he brought in Kobe Bryant, who was more famous than him. This laid a good foundation for bodyarmor's market expansion. Just relying on two
A person's reputation and sales can be increased by 20 to 30%.
Coca-Cola missed out on Gatorade more than a decade ago, and now it sees that an emerging brand is doing well. The strategy of casting a wide net is definitely fine. It all depends on its bid.
"200 million, they valued the company at $200 million."
Kobe said with some disbelief that the current valuation compared with last year, the increase in value of his shares is very scary.
Of course, this is also based on 2012, especially in the last quarter, bodyarmor won with Lin Shaojie’s outstanding performance in November and December.
Therefore, whether it is the company's senior management or investors like Kobe Bryant, everyone knows that when Lin Shaojie was at his most popular, he was very capable of "bringing goods" and he felt comfortable taking his shares.
However, Lin Shaojie just curled his lips at the valuation given by Coca-Cola.
"Corvo, you can tell the Coca-Cola people to go to hell. Bodyarmor had sales of nearly 10 million in the fourth quarter alone last year, and you and I are still shareholders of the company. Such a valuation is insulting.
What?"
Kobe was a little worried about his IQ. His investment was only a few million. According to the current valuation, it would have increased by at least six or seven times. It only took half a year.
If the investment circle is like this, do you still need to continue playing?
But when I think about the data that Lin Shaojie said, it seems to be true. Capital pursues maximizing profits and will never let go until the last bite. Of course, Kobe will not quit when he is still in the spotlight.
"I'm just wondering why they didn't contact you, you are the major shareholder!"
Kobe said with some confusion.
"Yes, but I have set a safety line. When I don't touch that safety line, my team will not disturb me. They are as optimistic about bodyarmor as I am..."
The investment company established by Kobe Bryant is not large in scale, and he also knows that there are several capable people behind Lin Shaojie. As one of the few players in the league who controls his own contract and is not bound to an agent, Lin Shaojie has a very high degree of freedom.
So you can see some players attending press conferences and participating in various business activities without sincerity, but Lin Shaojie's business behavior, except for rigid and official ones, is rarely kidnapped by these "meaningless" business behaviors.
In this regard, he performed cleaner than LeBron. At least the latter also has Uncle Wes and Rich Paul as his agents. Although both parties have achieved mutual success, no matter how harmonious they are, it is not as good as Lin Shaojie's complete control over himself.
for comfort.
As for the safety line mentioned by Lin Shaojie, Kobe did not mention it, and Lin Shaojie did not reply. The Pacers' "safety line" has been stretched to 20 points. It is conceivable that Lin Shaojie's so-called safety line will be an exaggerated value.
.
Both parties know that that is the bottom line in each other's hearts. Beyond that, the shares in hand can be sold at any time.
While the Pacers were waiting for their opponents, the Heat returned to their home court and defeated their opponents in one go. They defeated the Knicks at home with a score of 97 to 82.
Anthony is also a ghost, this time he is sluggish, and the other Knicks have no belief in winning. It can be said that when Anthony can't hold it, no one can hold the Knicks.
This is a big ship.
In the next round, Anthony, who returned to the home court, showed off his might, but the good tiger could not stand up to the wolves. The continued inefficiency of his teammates made Anthony unable to stand alone. The Heat worked together and beat the old master to death with a flurry of punches.
All members of the Pacers watched this game from beginning to end.
After winning the match point, the Heat did not give the Knicks any chance to come back. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Pacers knew that their opponent was coming.
Miami Heat!
A Big Three that has ravaged them for many years, a team that is held together by "brotherly loyalty"!
