My basketball vision is different
Chapter 251 Selecting Gobert
Lin Shaojie, who had been traveling among the rookies, "saw" a lot of "good stuff," but few of them really moved him. It was indeed the most useless class in the eyes of the media, and he actually felt the same way.
Some people are not very talented, and some people are very talented but mentally weak.
Lin Shaojie does not want to choose a player like Hibbert, who is obviously very talented, but who has to be chased by him and supervise the other player like a nanny.
Such a big man is no longer a child. I think Kobe used to deal with "Baby Shark" Andrew Bynum like this.
What's the result?
Not necessarily that good!
Of course, Roy is definitely better than Bynum. Both of them are very talented, but at least for now, Lin Shaojie feels that they are still far from fully realizing their talents.
Lin Shaojie took a few more glances at the Greek man Larry Bird once saw. His talent is indeed amazing. Like his name, "long" is the most intuitive description. With his slender figure, he looks like a
Like a bamboo pole, Lin Shaojie was afraid that if he used too much force, he would "break" the thing.
This is no joke.
But it is precisely because of this that it means that the opponent has unlimited potential. As long as the strength and muscles are up, with such a figure, there is no chance. You know, the Greeks play as a swingman, and there are not many people under this height.
Will be like him.
Just like Durant, whoever he hits is out of position.
As for Rudy Gobert, who was mentioned a few times by Lin Shaojie, his talent is equally astonishing. The most important thing is that he is a center, which is in line with Lin Shaojie's "talent selection" criteria. What he wants is a "big player".
"Tall," rather than the guy competing for his job.
Although everyone knows that in the current Pacers, no one can take away Lin Shaojie's "job," but when he thinks of choosing a guard or a small forward who is not outstanding in size, Lin Shaojie cannot let the opponent while ensuring his playing time.
Rather than being fully cultivated, it is better to let go and give it to others.
Larry Bird had previously taken a fancy to a big center named "Iverson" who could also play the power forward position, but Lin Shaojie looked at it and felt that he was average.
There is also Oladipo, who is talked about by the "Big Bird", but he is one of the favorites for the No. 1 pick, and it is impossible for the Pacers to select him.
Larry Bird wanted to use it to replace George Hill. After all, most of the time the ball in the team is in the hands of Lin Shaojie, and George Hill's "assist" role has been greatly weakened.
But Lin Shaojie knows that if he wants to play easily, especially when he plays without the ball, he definitely needs George Hill, an old friend with whom he has a tacit understanding. That way he can focus more on defense and make up for George.
The loophole left by Hill.
Lin Shaojie doesn't like players like Oladipo who plays a combo guard. Such players hold the ball for too long. Even if he is a "local" player from Indiana University, Lin Shaojie doesn't like it very much.
Having already handed the small note in his hand to Larry Bird, Lin Shaojie knew that his mission for coming here today was completed.
The team gave themselves enough respect and put on a sufficient "show", allowing both sides to get what they needed.
Sitting in his position with a smile on his face, Lin Shaojie's thoughts had already flown far away as he greeted every camera that came secretly.
He had accomplished everything he wanted at the scene, and the rest depended on whether he had enough chips. There wasn't much he could do.
Although he is popular in the eyes of the outside world, not only on the basketball court, but also as the darling of Guiwei Capital, Coca-Cola's cooperation matters are far more complicated than imagined.
The good thing is that the matter is finalized, and it may take more than a week to finally settle the bag. This time is not too late, but Huaguo's share issues are more troublesome. After all, Hualiang is the big one, and many things can't be dealt with until Lin Shaojie returns.
, of course, this part is owned by Coca-Cola and is relatively easy to deal with.
The bad thing is that this is not a one-time deal. From the largest shareholder of bodyarmor to the second largest shareholder, the right to speak has been reduced a lot, but the obligations I bear have not been reduced. The support I used to do as I wanted now has restrictions. What should I do?
, there are restrictions on what not to do.
But if these things were known to outsiders, I'm afraid they would be extremely sad again!
That night, when Lin Shaojie and Kobe Bryant finally signed the contract, John Thornton and Kobe Bryant's backstage team were the happiest.
They saw with their own eyes that the core of each other's teams completed a surge in assets and exchanged shots with others.
As management representatives, Mike Lepore and Lance Collins were equally happy.
No matter what the purpose of starting a business was, after three years of hard work, it was finally on the right track, and it even got on the "classic car" of Coca-Cola. All of this almost opened up a new world for the two founders.
In fact, the two founders were overjoyed by the "traffic" brought by Lin Shaojie after becoming a shareholder last year. Bodyarmor had been hanging around in New York for many years, but they were actually spinning around in circles. The two founders were overwhelmed by the feeling of seeing the end at a glance and not knowing where they would be in the future.
People are tortured.
Now, although the shares have been gradually divested from them, the operating rights are still in their hands, and they have the support of the two major shareholders, Coca-Cola and Lin Shaojie.
The massive amount of funds obtained was enough to give them instant financial freedom. Of course, like Lin Shaojie, they also chose to exchange part of Coca-Cola's shares.
In many cases, there is a strict distinction between "new money" and "old money". Capital darlings like them who can rely on "new money" to obtain "old money" are lucky.
Sometimes, you have to rely on this to integrate into another circle, otherwise you won't even know where the door opens.
They loved the beauty show from the East. As members of the party, they witnessed with their own eyes the transfer process involving hundreds of millions of wealth, and their feeling of comfort was indescribable to outsiders.
At that moment, Lin Shaojie even discovered that when he walked out of the conference room, John Thornton's eyes looked at him, and he looked like he was naked and made of gold in equal proportions. At that moment, Lin Shaojie was a genuine "golden man!"
If you ask Lin Shaojie, is the money earned worth it?
value!
But nowadays, even when it is the best time to invest, funds are crazy and want to get involved when they see a good project, and they are afraid that they will be one step behind others.
As for the taxi-hailing software that Lin Shaojie invested in before, most people would not let you play it. If Lin Shaojie had not been able to achieve some results by "brushing his face", people would have looked down upon him at all based on the money he had.
This is the best era that almost every successful entrepreneur feels, swimming in the "pool" of abundant funds.
Perhaps in Lin Shaojie's impression, the bubble of more than ten years ago is not that long ago, and the sequelae of the 2008 crisis are still there, but it is normal to heal the scars and forget the pain. At least at this time, you only need to
If you do something right and launch a good product, people will naturally come to you to "support" you.
Just like Coca-Cola has to fight Pepsi for its strategic intentions, and bodyarmor is the weapon with the most potential and firepower.
Kobe Bryant hugged Lin Shaojie, who walked out of the room at the last moment. While he gained huge wealth, his friend Lin Shaojie earned more benefits than him, and at the same time, he also retained part of his share.
Now, Lin Shaojie has become the second shareholder after Coca-Cola, the major shareholder. Although his ranking has dropped one, the cash flow in his hands will make people who know all this drool.
On the other hand, they all put their authority in the hands of the two founders. After all, they did a very good job.
When they finally left the Simon Hotel, Lin Shaojie took John Thornton away. Kobe and his wife chewed their ears for a while, and Vanessa looked at Kobe with eyes full of water.
Presumably there will be another earth-shattering battle after returning to the hotel.
...
Lin Shaojie's appearance in the draft must be an unexpected surprise for many media. His appearance not only attracted the attention of other team management, but also attracted the attention of most players participating in the draft.
Lin Shaojie's success in the NBA has also brought unlimited expectations to this group of latter-year players. Although this season's rookies have been repeatedly underestimated, no one wants to deny themselves.
Everyone wants to make a splash in the professional basketball draft, and every ranking represents valuable salary income.
This season's draft officially kicked off with Stern standing on the stage and announcing that the Cavaliers, who had won the No. 1 pick, had picked up swingman Anthony Bennett.
Domestic media are also rushing to report on it. After all, so far, the only way for various teams to complete reinforcements is this draft. It is too difficult for non-draft players to make their mark in the US professional basketball. Almost no one regards it as the right way.
What kind of players do the Pacers choose?
Should he serve as a substitute for Lin Shaojie to supplement the Pacers' outside line, or should they choose an inside line that suits them?
Whether to choose a 3D player, or a pure engineer, etc., many speculations have made fans trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.
There are too many people who regard the Pacers as their home team, just like the Rockets where the Little Giants were. These fans want to see a Pacers dynasty belonging to Lin Shaojie. Although this hope is too slim, they can take advantage of the break.
Isn’t it okay to daydream a little during the season?
Luo Xiaoou was lying on the bed in the dormitory. The eight-person dormitory was not luxurious, on the contrary, it was a bit "stretched."
The draft has already begun, and Lin Shaojie is still in the beautiful country. I heard that he will come back after the Pacers' championship parade.
After all, the "NBA Legends All-Star Game" will be held in China next. Lin Shaojie, a player who is not a legend but has prepared to be a legend, and is the only remaining Chinese player in the American NBA, will naturally appear in such a game.
Go to the stadium and cheer for him.
In the list currently announced, the so-called "legends" are somewhat not counted. After all, there are too few players involved, and only a few of the familiar ones can be included.
Fortunately, I heard that both Kobe and Tracy McGrady will appear, but it's unclear whether the former can play.
Luo Xiaoou also briefly talked with Lin Shaojie about related matters. The Pacers will hold a victory parade in about ten days. When the related matters are over, Lin Shaojie will come back.
Not surprisingly, in that city with only a few hundred thousand people, at least 100,000 spectators poured into the parade route that day.
As a city that hosts automobile events, the number of spectators did not deter the local government. Police officers were deployed throughout the city to help maintain public order, and domestic media also rushed to report on it.
As the biggest contributor to this season's championship, Lin Shaojie may enjoy God-like treatment on that day. It is a supreme honor and something that players dream of.
Luo Xiaoou does not envy his friends for being in the limelight. He has earned it bit by bit himself.
Anyone who has watched Lin Shaojie train will not be surprised by his training volume!
When reporting news related to Lin Shaojie in China, exciting words are always used to attract the public's attention.
There are tens of millions or even billionaires, world-famous basketball stars, etc. Look at the big pants, and the serious arrangement of Lin Shaojie’s training time and related projects. All fans who have seen all that will feel like
Understand that being able to reach today and achieve today's achievements is the result of the sweat and sweat behind you.
Luo Xiaoou even experienced it together before and after Quan Mingming.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Shaojie does basic physical training from 5:00 to 5:45 every morning. This time is not short at all, and the amount of related exercise is amazing;
The following basic training without and with the ball is like a "basic warm-up". After breakfast, Lin Shaojie will arrive at the training base before eight o'clock for shooting and tactical training.
The entire duration did not end until nearly six o'clock in the afternoon. Excluding the time for rest and recovery, the short and intensive training surprised Luo Xiaoou, who had trained with Lin Shaojie.
If Lin Shaojie is at home in the evening, he will leave himself one hour of exercise and recovery time.
Of course, the training time completed like this is actually a luxury for Lin Shaojie. Home games are relatively better, and away trips require preparation in advance, which will consume a lot of time during the journey, etc.
Although Luo Xiaoou didn't know the reason, but after seeing the amount of training, he finally understood why his former friend became what he is now.
Even if you live a cheating life, you still need these day-to-day training to consolidate the results.
Otherwise, you won't be able to perform after you play. As a rookie, how can any coach give you opportunities one after another? Do you really think that this professional league is for making money and cultivating people?
There are so many all-powerful stars who have fallen into disgrace after playing in the NBA for a few years. Among the players who can stay, there is no one who is not ruthless and ruthless to himself.
If you can see the gap between players, it can only mean that there is no most ruthless player, only more ruthless players.
Just look at Kobe Bryant and Lin Shaojie becoming good friends. Those two are both masochists. Anyway, Luo Xiaoou asked himself to do all this.
Therefore, Luo Xiaoou will not envy these, because he knows that these are things that he can't do even if he tries hard, not to mention that he has never worked that hard.
Sometimes people know how to take the shortcut to success, but most people will not choose it because they know that way...
It’s so difficult!
Just like Luo Xiaoou knew that Lin Shaojie had no problem in communicating with birds, and had almost perfect scores in listening, speaking, reading and writing. He could also help Su Zhen with his after-school homework at the state university, but his CET-4 exam was not up to standard. At that moment, his dream
It’s just that I didn’t fail the exam at the end of the semester, and I was able to pass CET-4.
That's all.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoou was lying on the bed like a salted fish, watching his roommates paying attention to the draft scene on the computer screen, and hearing the whirring sounds of his roommates.
"The Cavaliers have won the No. 1 pick several times. Are they the only team in the league?"
"...Didn't Ryan say he was the top pick? Why did he fall to fifth place?"
"Giannis... what kind of name is this? It's so hard to pronounce, and there are too many letters, isn't it?...Greek? The Bucks have no idea why they chose a Greek. If they had trained Space Yi well,
, I will watch more of his games. If a garbage team chooses a garbage man, he will definitely die."
...
Luo Xiaoou knows that his roommates can only "talk about how happy they are," and they don't really care about how other teams are doing. What they really care about is the Pacers. Like other Chinese fans, they just want to
Knowing who the Pacers choose in the end can help Lin Shaojie consolidate this hard-won victory.
As the financial backer behind Luo Xiaoou, the roommates also want to work with him to make a living. Instead of begging grandpa to sue grandma, it is better to know the basics and start a business together.
The Pacers' performance is good, and Lin Shaojie's endorsement income is also high. Is it possible that they can get more money?
Luo Xiaoou can also see the thoughts of his roommates. At the very least, you need people who know the basics to do things. There is no shortage of people now, but it is a pity that the project has not been determined yet.
Luo Xiaoou doesn't want to defraud his friends of their money. After all, he still hopes to be "targeted" and not let their friendship end up alienated because of money.
The forum has already been buzzing about the agreement between a beverage company that Lin Shaojie previously invested in and Coca-Cola.
Some believe it and some don't believe it.
Luo Xiaoou thought it was generally impossible and the money would be too much.
He also heard Lin Shaojie say something when he was in Polis City. If he was so good, how could Lin Shaojie be so calm and calm.
So generally speaking, it should be a case of spreading rumors!
Anyway, in the eyes of many people, Lin Shaojie is an outlier among college students. Their peers like this college student who does not take the ordinary path and relies on "sports" to make a career.
Although many people know that Lin Shaojie is quite good at studying, in the eyes of most people, Lin Shaojie is labeled as a "basketball player!"
Now, this basketball player seems to be financially free. He doesn’t steal or rob. He relies on his own ability to become financially independent at a young age. Why not?
Regardless of whether there is more money or less money, under Lin Shaojie’s Weibo.
Thousands of words gathered into one sentence,
"Kneel down to Director Lin!"
Sometimes Luo Xiaoou wants to be mean and post on Weibo, saying that he and Lin Shaojie knelt together when they were children (and were punished by the teacher). You are too late, but his roommates stopped him from doing this.
They said that if Luo Xiaoou wants to start a business in the future, he should not be so low-key and must establish a good character.
Luo Xiaoou really felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, if he were Lin Shaojie, what could he do if he had that kind of money? If he deposited it in the bank and earned interest, he would have no worries for the rest of his life.
At present, there are many famous schools in the Imperial City, but Luo Xiaoou's school is definitely not one of them. On the contrary, as a "partner", the monitor Zhao Li, although her school is not as famous as Mizuki and Imperial University, it is not bad, no matter what.
That’s 211.
When Zhao Li appeared at school for the first time, the classmates around Luo Xiaoou were shocked.
After being shocked, these people realized, weren't these the companions of "Xiao Ou" when he went to the beautiful country?
Although only a few of the same actors appear on the scene, people already know that they are all high school alumni of "Guide Lin".
Most people know that Luo Xiaoou had a slight ambiguity with a girl from the same department when he was in school, but of course it ended in vain.
But after this semester started, the woman seemed to want to "renew our relationship." How could Luo Xiaoou agree? She didn't even hold hands, but just helped fetch a few bottles of water and brought a few breakfasts.
I have a relationship with someone who wants to do something evil to me?
Is Luo Xiaoou the kind of person who depends on others, no, is a dog-licker?
Of course I sternly refused.
At the moment, Luo Xiaoou doesn't have to worry about money matters. Things like hundreds of thousands or millions, which seem to be out of reach, feel a bit close to him in Luo Xiaoou's eyes. Even tens of millions of funds are less than two.
One million US dollars, for Lin Shaojie now, this money is just water.
But Luo Xiaoou felt exhausted trying to find a suitable project.
Lying on the bed in the dormitory, the cicadas outside the window were screaming at the top of their lungs. Waves of heat waves poured in from the window. The air conditioner that was promised had not been installed yet. It would take at least a week. Luo Xiaoou felt uncomfortable all over.
No more.
The group of naive roommates shouted again.
"The Pacers selected Gobert, a Frenchman? The highest player in this draft."
"Haha, it is indeed an insider. I have posted before that the Pacers have Lin as their coach. They just need a suitable inside man to fill Hibbert's vacancy. 'Gao Yuanyuan' can't beat Duncan at all. He was almost beaten by a 37-year-old old man.
Damn it, I grew so tall for nothing."
"Xiao Ou, your little Linzi wants a center. Just like you said, Coach Lin is very sinister. He doesn't want any defenders. These are enough now. He just needs some players who can play hard. Stupid."
A black and rough player."
...
At the Barclays Center, Rudy Gobert stood up in surprise and joy. People around him sent blessings one after another. In this "backward" position of No. 23, Gobert suddenly felt like crying.
Apart from being tall, he is not considered black. His mother is a French white man, and he is not that innocent, stupid, tall, black and thick person.
"Oh my God, Rudy, you were selected by the Pacers. That's Lynn's team. Being able to be his teammate is the dream of most centers..."
Gobert could no longer hear what the people around him were saying. He was a little dull and walked towards the stage like a marionette.
In many sports programs, Gobert's "massive" height data coupled with his slightly thin appearance, but it is precisely because of his white ancestry that his appearance is at least at the center level, and can be regarded as a center forward.
Excellent, he is still at the level of "center forward Daniel Wu".
"Now, please let me call the Pacers the most handsome team in the league. As long as they don't trade their rookies, they have Lynn at the guard position, Paul George at the small forward position, and now there are more
A center named Gobert, my God, do they want to assemble the best-looking team in the NBA?"
Lin Shaojie would definitely not be moved by these words, but Paul George would definitely be very happy after hearing this.
Paul George always makes himself flashy when he goes to nightclubs. Roy (Hibbert) doesn’t know how many times he complained about it in the locker room, but Paul George is really popular. Of course, these
They only went to discuss the topic after Lin Shaojie nodded his approval.
The talent show continued, but everyone in the dormitory suddenly found it boring.
"Xiao Ou, did you run all day again yesterday?"
"kindness!"
"Tell me, Director Lin already has so much money. There is no need to save so much. It's not easy for us to go to the city. It's such a hot day. We need to take a taxi!"
"Of course you don't feel bad if you don't spend your own money. A round-trip taxi costs more than 100, so forget it."
"Then after a while, let's take a taxi when the bus stops. Tell me, what's the point of walking back? Although our security is very good, we can't even buy a bicycle for a distance of three or four kilometers. It's better to buy a bicycle nearby.
Some parks also have businesses moving around.”
"What kind of bicycle should I buy? It's fine when I ride it, but do I lock it when I stop? When I turn around, the lock is gone."
"That's true, but isn't there a welfare bicycle at the school gate? No matter what, it's more convenient than walking."
"That thing doesn't work even better. You have to park at the specified place."
Luo Xiaoou said helplessly: "I rode once, and it was quite troublesome. It took me five minutes to ride the bike and ten to twenty minutes to find a place to park. In that time, I made it all the way."
Hearing Luo Xiaoou's words, his roommate suddenly said: "Xiaoou, what do you think about getting a bicycle that doesn't need a fixed stop and can be ridden or parked casually? I have seen someone thinking about doing it on the university campus in the Imperial Capital before.
, but the demand was too great, and even after it started, there was no news. I heard that the person even went to graduate school."
Luo Xiaoou's roommate's words made Luo Xiaoou stay in bed for a long time. On the computer speakers, the Pacers had even selected a second-round pick. He hadn't recovered yet, and his violent heartbeat was like gongs and drums beating in his chest.
"Fuck, when you say it, I seem to have feelings."
Thinking of doing it, Luo Xiaoou immediately made an appointment with Zhao Li to meet him the next day.
"I got an idea!"
"I got an idea!"
The two people who said the same thing had been running for several days, and their skin color had become much darker.
"You say it first."
"You say it first."
After saying that, the two people unexpectedly turned their attention to the public bicycle not far away.
...
In the 2013 draft, the Pacers selected an expected but unexpected player, Rudy Gobert.
As the championship team in the 2012 season, even though the Pacers were just a small city, the small city became a famous city in the United States because of this championship. At least within a few days after winning the championship, the city of Indianapolis became
is a frequently mentioned word.
Now, when they are most likely to complete reinforcements, they have chosen a Frenchman.
high!
This player is really tall!
He is only a little shorter than Hibbert, the tallest player on the Pacers team. He is the same "seven feet" tall, but he is younger.
After the Pacers selected Gobert, those Pacers players, especially the inside players, who had already tried to consider where to spend the holidays looked gloomy.
It doesn't matter to David West, he has completed his contract extension, and he is one of the few "experience monsters" in the team, a veteran who can help other young players and is a stabilizer in the paint.
Roy Hibbert, as the core center and starting team member, was not too worried, even though he was taught a lesson by Duncan when he faced Duncan in the finals.
But even players like LeBron have been educated by Duncan, so what does it matter if players like him are educated!
What's more, his performance in the playoffs was quite good. Compared with the regular season, his scoring average in the playoffs increased by nearly 6 points, which is not a small number.
The one who is most worried is actually Hibbert's substitute Mahinmi, Ian Mahinmi.
This forward, who is the same age as Roy Hibbert, is not in a bad mental state, but the talent is there. He averaged five points and four rebounds per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, due to the decline in playing time, he only averaged less than two points per game.
Points, two rebounds data.
Compared with Hibbert, the main force, the two are far apart.
Of course, Mahinmi was also born in France, and I don’t know if this is one of the reasons why he is a little afraid of this rookie.
"A fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman? Shoot him in the back?"
Among the inside players, there is another person who is also worried, and that is Tyler Hansbrough.
As the only remaining white player in the Pacers, although he is only a substitute, due to West's age and injuries, his average playing time per game is not small. Even in the playoffs, he is the kind of player who dares to
Play against players who dare to fight.
Although Gobert, newly selected by the Pacers, is a center, there is no problem at all as a "part-time" power forward. If the Pacers implement the so-called "twin towers" strategy next season, the appearances of other inside players will inevitably be reduced.
At least in Hansbrough's impression, Lin Shaojie's three outside combinations of Paul George and George Hill are unbeatable starters, especially the first two. If it weren't for the rotation, their physical fitness is enough to support them.
On the court, behind George Hill, there is also Lance Stephenson occupying the substitute position.
Therefore...it is absolutely impossible for the Pacers to need any more defenders. It is most normal to need a big man.
But Hansbrough always felt that his position was not good. After winning the championship, many teams took a fancy to him, a player who dared to play and fight. Hansbrough was also thinking about whether he should
Stay with the Pacers.
Now that the dream of becoming a champion has been achieved, is it time to consider personal income?
As for Jeff Pendegraf, the power forward, his presence in the team is too weak and he is a substitute among the substitutes. This time the Pacers selected a big man again, he felt that he instantly became redundant.
Now, are you looking for a new home?
In short, as the 2013 draft slowly comes to an end, there are slightly different voices in the Pacers team.
In this seemingly stable offseason, in fact, there are undercurrents and people are panicking!
After all, this is just a business alliance!
