My basketball vision is different

There was nothing unusual about the Pacers' first training game. Everyone spent the entire morning seemingly communicating freely.

Most players still mainly practice alone, and occasionally play a few small coordination games to show off their temperament and show off their talents.

Lin Shaojie, on the other hand, conducted shooting training in a leisurely manner. He seemed relaxed and calm, but in fact he got up early and completed basic training at home.

The newcomers didn't think there was anything strange about it. Lynn's shooting percentage was very high, and he would pass out one or two good balls from time to time, and the players who received them would always subconsciously shoot or dunk.

The newcomers were also like this after receiving the ball, and they were secretly amazed.

These are things that are difficult to feel outside the court. If we are not teammates together, I really can't imagine that someone's passing will be so comfortable, as if it scratches your itch, making you can't help but keep doing it.

It's no wonder that the Pacers' offensive efficiency is so high. When you think about Lin Shaojie's defense, it feels like a match made in heaven.

As for Lin Shaojie's somewhat exaggerated shooting percentage, even if it exceeds 90%, a group of newcomers would not find it surprising.

Even though Donald Sloan is a "crooked player", his shooting percentage is not low during training. Some people's three-point shooting percentage is more than 60-70% off the court, but once he comes to the game, his shooting percentage plummets, and he averages 100 points per game.

More than one three-point goal is considered good.

Many times, you don't even have a chance to take a three-point shot from the outside. The coach will not arrange three-point tactics for such players. Often those players who can be "reused" are all three-point gods on the training field.

The good atmosphere of the Pacers, where all members are present and performing well, makes the newcomers feel at ease.

The most "excessive" thing was the rookies who had just joined the team. Several people, including Gobert, took advantage of their break to buy some food, which was considered a welcome gift for the newcomers.

When he came back, Gobert leaned against David West and asked in a low voice.

"Did Lynn buy it last year?"

West thought for a moment and whispered in a rough voice.

"He came here under the protection of Larry Bird. We were not convinced at first, thinking that newcomers should always look like newcomers, but he turned around and overturned Danny (Granger) in a duel.

After all, who dares to let him buy donuts..."

Seeing West's exaggerated demeanor, Gobert almost laughed.

I heard a lot of rumors before joining the team, but it didn't seem to be as serious as I thought.

"Why, do you think we treat newcomers well?"

Hearing West's words, Gobert didn't respond and just nodded. It's not like they haven't experienced bullying incidents against newcomers.

"That's what it was like when Lin En joined the team. There were a lot of excessive things before. You just caught up with the good times."

West said with envy, after all, he also came here like this.

Fortunately, this is considered a fun conversation, and the pedestrians don't do anything too outrageous. If it really insults people, I'm afraid there will be disputes.

There are many things that don't treat newcomers as human beings, and the NBA is no exception. This is how conflicts among some teams are buried.

Lin Shaojie's mediocre shooting training also disappointed many newcomers. They really wanted to see what the "boss" of the team could do, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!

As the boss, don’t you want to prove something in front of the newcomers?

West, the "wise man" of the Pacers, saw all this and smiled without saying a word.

Lin Shaojie is not as low as other old black players, using those so-called trash words to criticize opponents and newcomers.

The seemingly amiable opponent is actually unquestionable. You have to listen to my professional pua. Do these newcomers in front of you really think that Chinese people are easy to bully?

Luuring someone for profit is what No. 13 does most often.

Just when West smiled and said nothing, Lin Shaojie turned his head and saw: "David, is there a shooting contest?"

"here we go again!"

David West shook his head and muttered helplessly in his heart. Every time he wanted to say something next to Lin Shaojie, he always felt that his thoughts were being read by the other party, like a postdoctoral fellow in psychology.

Generally speaking, it's too exaggerated.

During training at noon, a group of people ate lunch provided by the team, replenished their energy, chatted, or took a nap and spent the short happy time.

Lin Shaojie took the initiative to say hello to Donald Sloan. After all, when Donald was playing in Guangdong Province, Lin Shaojie was still on campus!

Now that Lin Shaojie has occupied the position of the boss of the first team of the NBA, Donald has become a substitute among the substitutes.

It seems that there are a lot of strange and weird things in the world.

Donald was very happy about the friendship extended by Lin Shaojie. During the chat, he said that he liked everything about Guangdong Province. It was his second hometown and if he had the chance, he really wanted to live there permanently.

Lin Shaojie, who was right next to Donald Sloan, of course "heard" that there was no lies in what he said.

A black man from a beautiful country actually wants to live in Guangdong Province. Have you submitted your certificate of nomination?

When I think about it, there are a lot of old black people there, but most of them are from Africa!

Not too many come from beautiful countries!

In fact, when the Pacers signed Donald Sloan, Kong Yi helped ask an old friend and gave Lin Shaojie relevant information about him.

In terms of ability, Donald Sloan is not that outstanding. At least he is not like other old guys who are superior to others in the CBA. His shooting accuracy is average and his defense is similar to George Hill. His shortcomings are obvious.

They are a bit constrained against fast-moving defenders.

But his playing style on the court is very good, and he rarely has any friction with the opponent.

He can be regarded as a "gentleman thunder" player.

Of course, if Donald Sloan wants to compare with George Hilby, he is definitely far behind.

The latter's defense has been "criticized," but it all depends on who he is competing with. The Pacers' perimeter gatekeepers are Lin Shaojie and Paul George.

No other team would be able to produce two such young and capable players.

It is against the background of these two people that George Hill's defense seems to be a bit weak. As a Spurs player, if he really was a weak player, he would have been thrown away by Popovich.

Even if George Hill now switches to another team, he can easily get the core position on the outside.

He has shooting ability, organizational ability, breakthrough ability, defensive ability, and what else is needed.

The fans have high demands, and they are looking at it from the perspective of a championship player, comparing the defensive level of Lynn and Paul George. Otherwise, George Hill is also the best player.

Leaving Donald, Lin Shaojie approached Danny Granger and asked in a low voice.

"Danny, what happened? I always felt that something was wrong with you this morning."

Lin Shaojie leaned next to Danny Granger and asked.

Can you imagine what an "honest man" would look like when he suddenly appears in front of you wearing exaggerated clothes?

There was something wrong with it at first glance, and Granger almost had "accident" written on his face.

Granger looked at Lin Shaojie, and then at Paul George, who was laughing and joking with the players not far away.

Now that Granger thinks about it, after he was injured, the biggest beneficiary was actually Paul George.

Lin Shaojie just took away his position as the boss in the locker room, but in terms of position on the court, what he really took away was Paul George.

Granger is not the kind of person who clings to the ball without letting go. He can still be considered "magnanimous", so the ball was given to Lin Shaojie. After all, he is not an organization.

But Paul George is different. Apart from their different playing styles, the two men have almost similar functions on the court, with a very high degree of overlap.

But Paul George is younger, has better physical talent, and his overall quality is far better and more powerful than Granger.

In the playoffs, Lin Shaojie can let Paul George guard LeBron and constantly consume the opponent's physical energy.

This was something Danny Granger never thought of.

The little brother I once grew up in the blink of an eye.

Do you think Granger hates him?

It seems that I can't hate it. The other party didn't take it secretly. They just "robbed" it openly.

But these are not reasons for Granger to give up on himself.

Granger, who was patting his knee, stopped talking. After a while, he whispered to Lin Shaojie.

"As you know about the previous surgery, my recovery was not very good. I wanted to give it a try this offseason and found some doctors to see if it could be cured by surgery, but the doctors told me that it was impossible. The lesions were very serious.

"

Lin Shaojie was stunned for a moment after hearing this. During the entire morning training, Danny Granger practiced shooting alone. He was a little far away and did not "see" it.

"Didn't you take a good rest?"

Granger's knees are also an old problem, and patellar tendonitis has a great impact on a wing player who mainly changes directions and jumps.

"It's no use! The doctor said the situation is too serious and irreversible."

Granger stood up and patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder and walked out.

Looking at his back, he looked very lonely.

In the afternoon, everyone who had assembled officially began to practice together.

As the core, Lin Shaojie would have partnered with Paul George and others to give a group of new players a "showdown," but after a few rounds, when the newcomers on the opposite side were completely unable to stop him, Lin Shaojie volunteered and switched to the opposite side.

team.

Lin Shaojie's breakthrough with the ball was very fast. There was a tacit understanding among the starting five. There were old and new players on the opposite side. Although some players had played in the summer league, there was definitely no tacit understanding in terms of coordination.

Facing Lin Shaojie's rapid advance, they couldn't guard against it. They could only watch as Lin Shaojie tore apart their defense and then quickly distributed the ball.

George Hill threw a three-pointer from the outside;

Paul George received an alley-oop;

West turned around and shot in the paint...

When defending, Lin Shaojie didn't make any ruthless moves. Lance Stephenson handed the ball to others honestly, but it was useless. Lin Shaojie relied on his body to completely block the breakthrough of outside players like Watson.

After a few rounds, everyone will understand the huge gap between them.

Although there were only a few balls, the ability of the main players to cooperate had already made the newcomers at the scene understand the situation they were in.

This is the team that won the championship last season. Lin Shaojie, the core of the team, has not yet begun to exert its strength. They already have a mentality of being invincible.

Soon, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to form a team with new people and try it out. Of course, a group of "cute newcomers" who had just arrived were happy.

Lance Stephenson went to the home team, CJ Watson was replaced, and the ball was in the hands of Lin Shaojie as a substitute.

"Didn't you have a special training session with Linn in Los Angeles? How is his condition?"

Roy Hibbert took advantage of the time and curiously asked Paul George.

The latter thought for a while and said: "Kobe Bryant said that he is good after seeing Lynn's condition!"

(￣_￣)

Hibbert didn't understand what Kobe meant when he said yes. His reflexes were proportional to his height and were very long.

He only knows one thing now, that is, Linn should be good.

When the players from both sides came on the court, what awaited them was Lin Shaojie's dunk on Hibbert after a change.

Hibbert, who is over seven feet tall, was almost stunned by the heavy dunk.

The new players, including rookies like Gobert, and players like Scola who have been in the league for many years, can clearly see behind them. Lin Shaojie, who has "traveled a thousand miles alone", changed direction and got away.

Paul George's defense.

After Lin Shaojie changed teams, the only one in the current main team who could barely defend him was Paul George. Stephenson obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

But how high is Paul George's center of gravity? Everyone knows it very well, so in the defensive area inside the three-point line, when he suddenly encounters Lin Shaojie who suddenly changes direction, Paul George is really not enough to watch.

Watson, who is less than 1.9 meters tall, almost made his eyes pop out when he was on the court. When he faced Paul George, he was not so relaxed. Look at Lin Shaojie, a group of fast and talented players!

Paul George also secretly smiled bitterly. After all, Lin Shaojie rarely used this kind of pure talent to crush people, but when he used it, he would definitely gain something.

As for David West, when he saw Lin Shaojie running away from Paul George as soon as he saw him, Hibbert wanted to do the same, but he didn't dare. Coach Frank was watching from the side. Even if he just did

You should also make a name for yourself when doing it.

Then the trick was that he was dunked. Fortunately, Lin Shaojie gave him a little face and did not do a riding dunk. If he really jumped to the sky and escaped from the ground, Hibbert's seven-foot height would not be able to stop the attack of such a fierce tiger.

The newbies looked a little hot in their hearts.

This is a manifestation of their ability. Although they did not play against the main force for long, the pressure created on the court was still very obvious.

Lin Shaojie was not too eye-catching in the first few rounds, and was quite satisfactory, just like the shooting training in the morning.

But when Lin Shaojie was replaced in the substitute lineup, the opening goal was an earth-shattering feeling.

When Lin Shaojie reorganized the organization, although the whole substitute play style was a bit unsystematic and the cooperation between the players was not tacit, under Lin Shaojie's organization, he only needed to successfully connect with any player, and the other party would benefit.

Scola received a pass in the low post, and with no one else guarding him except West, he turned around and used a fake move to deceive his opponent and gain that little space.

Scola immediately made a layup.

"Whoosh!"

Gobert is a bit young and strong, and he wants to prove himself in front of Hibbert. The two are about the same height, but the green and immature Gobert obviously did not benefit from Hibbert. His turning dunk was blocked by this "black iron tower"

"The same strong man came out.

However, Lin Shaojie once again grabbed the offensive rebound, and his judgment of the basketball placement was consistent.

"Tougher!"

Lin Shaojie yelled angrily, and the basketball once again flew from his hands into Gobert's hands. This time, he squeezed out of the way and successfully completed a dunk in the paint.

Hibbert looked at Lin Shaojie with resentful eyes.

"Boss, don't you love me anymore?"

"Fuck, look at how much fat you've put on. We'll talk about it later when you keep practicing."

"oh!"

Hibbert responded helplessly. He must comfort himself during the off-season, either by making his girlfriend's belly bigger or by making his own belly bigger.

It's all human nature.

Rasu Butler looked on with envy. If Donald Sloan was a substitute among substitutes, then he was almost the same.

As the No. 53 pick in 2005, he performed far better with the Heat than his draft pick. Unfortunately, in the offseason of 2005, in the big trade involving 13 people from 5 teams, he was

The chips went to the Hornets.

After changing teams, he had the peak season of his career, averaging 10 points and 3 rebounds per game. His ten-year career has taken him to many teams, with both high and low performances.

Before being drafted by the Pacers, he had almost no ball to play with, so he had no choice but to go to the Development League. As the best contributor of the season in the Development League, he jumped into the eyes of the Pacers again.

A non-guaranteed contract is a reward for his years of dedication.

He is accurate from the outside and plays good defense. He is obviously the player that Larry Bird fills in for Lynn and George Hill during the rotation.

Butler, who was conscientious and did not steal the ball, ran actively on the court. Everyone could see that Lin Shaojie was testing the abilities of Gobert and Scola. The performance of the two old and new players, one old and one young, was impressive.

Very satisfied.

Rasu Butler ran and defended without hesitation, showing an old but useful 3D player.

Lin Shaojie also discovered this veteran.

He was still very good at defending George Hill, but he repeatedly suffered losses when facing a strong guy like Paul George.

In fact, from a physical point of view, at first glance, Lin Shaojie's slender figure is very similar to Butler, but everyone knows how terrifying the power under Lin Shaojie's body is.

Most perimeter players in the league feel this deeply.

Only these new players who joined the NBA don't quite understand.

In the substitute team, Lin Shaojie constantly used his "vision" to direct the players' positioning and defense.

Rookie Gobert is the center, Scola is the forward, Rasu Butler is the small forward, and Donald Sloan is the shooting guard.

Under the command of Lin Shaojie, a group of "newcomers" gradually began to adapt to Lin Shaojie's rhythm.

There were a lot of mistakes, but the goals were eye-catching.

Rasu Butler's outside three-point shooting under Lin Shaojie's command is actually not inferior to George Hill's, but of course the defense is incomparable.

As for Donald Sloan, I can only say that he can be used, but he is inferior in terms of ability. But considering his salary, it would be nice to have someone with that little money.

Off the court, Frank was very satisfied. What made him most happy was that the selected rookie, Gobert, was not a "silly big guy" and showed potential worth cultivating.

Lin Shaojie didn't give him many tips on the court, but they were all useful.

Gobert has shown his adaptability to the NBA. At least he is not a softie when facing Hibbert and dares to fight hard.

You know, Hibbert is "black and strong," and some newcomers are still scared when they see him.

Of course, in terms of experience, Gobert is obviously inferior.

Frank was pleased and a little regretful at the same time. It seems that not every player is Lynn.

The two of them obviously entered the league one after the other, but they only entered the league at the wrong time by one year. Gobert came from a "professional" background, and Lynn only "monasticized" halfway.

However, the experience shown by Lin Shaojie, who has been training in the American NBA for a year, is far beyond what other rookie players can match.

So the more this happens, the more Frank values ​​Linn. His coaching philosophy of both offense and defense will inevitably require the players who control the basketball to make some efforts and sacrifices.

He doesn't want to see players like Nash who focus on one aspect, but prefers players who are both offensive and defensive.

In other words, most coaches like such players.

Just like Gobert, the pink and tender newcomer on the court, he is a little immature in offense, but he does not give an inch in defense. Even if I can't guard you, I still have to fight with you. Frank likes him the most.

I like this kind of player so much.

If Gobert can be regarded as an unexpected surprise, then Scola is quite satisfactory. After all, he is the product of "spending a lot of money to find a son", which cost the Pacers a lot of money.

The Argentine played very well on the floor. Under Lin Shaojie's control, he showed a deterrent effect in the paint, and even had a 50-50 tie with David West.

As for the other players, they are all worthy of their worth.

But the one who bothered Frank the most was Danny Granger.

Granger, who originally struggled with rhythm, seemed unable to move. After the rotation, Granger stood in the main team, but his presence obviously affected the rhythm of the home team. Regardless of offense or defense, he was almost

loopholes.

Frank was sure that Lin Shaojie must have noticed it, but still did not take special care of it. Even when other players wanted to beat Granger, they were blocked by Lin Shaojie.

When the training match ended, Granger packed up his things like no one else, and left immediately after Frank said he was dismissed.

Paul George, who wanted to say hello to him, raised his hands helplessly and watched as his big brother changed into his exaggerated clothes and left.

He left without looking back.

"What's going on?"

Frank asked in a low voice. Although he wanted to communicate closely with the players, it was best to talk to Lin Shaojie about the locker room matters first.

Lin Shaojie watched the opponent's figure disappear into the basketball hall and shook his head.

"Let the team doctor take a look at the condition of his knee during training tomorrow..."

Lin Shaojie's words made Frank a little worried.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and everyone understood the reason.

The main force of the Pacers remains unchanged, and the newly added players have made the entire team strong. However, at the small forward point, this season, except for the pure Chris Copeland from the Knicks, there has been no other supplement.

But Copeland, who came from the Knicks, is only a shooter-type small forward. If Danny Granger has a problem, then the small forward position will become the biggest problem. Who will the Pacers find to replace him on the wing in the future.

Should Paul George be allowed to fight from beginning to end by himself?

So what is the difference between Frank and "Magic Calculator" Riley, are they tireless in destroying people?

After the entire training match, Chris Copeland, who wore jersey No. 22, performed very actively, but his athletic ability, defense, and strength were average.

Frank looked at these three "generalities" and could only say that they were better than nothing and as worthless.

No matter how good your shooting skills are, what's the use? Can you be more accurate than Lin En?

Throughout the training match, except for the two eye-catching shots at the end, there was nothing eye-catching at other times.

The previous choice of him to come to the Pacers was just to serve as a substitute for Granger, and there was no expectation that he would make much contribution.

The price of 6 million for 2 years is only quite satisfactory. If he can really take Granger's position, he will make a lot of money no matter how you look at it.

But can such a player with average performance in all aspects and not even a draft pick really succeed?

Frank didn't quite believe it.

After the training game, Lin Shaojie was the host and he would hold a dinner at his home. Granger on the phone said that he would attend Lin En's "dinner party."

Arrangements were made for the evening banquet and the players were taken back to Polis' home. Soon, the washed-up players drove to Linn's house next to the White River in their cars one after another.

Before a group of people walked in, they saw a fence made of low bushes, green grass, and children's play equipment on the grass. Several newbies suddenly asked.

"Lynn has a baby?"

"Of course, it's a son."

Hibbert patted his chest and said proudly, as if those who gave birth to daughters were incompetent.

The players who got off the car one after another were led into the garden by the waiters. By the thirty-forty-square-meter swimming pool, all the materials needed for the banquet had been arranged.

For a "rich man" like Lin Shaojie, it is easy to find a professional team to host a dinner party and entertain teammates.

Some of the surrounding neighbors even received barbecues delivered by Lin Shaojie himself, and the children also enjoyed it.

How should I put it, in this middle-class neighborhood, especially the neighbors near Lin Shaojie’s house, they often come and go. The quiet Lin Shaojie rarely holds such Barbie Q-type parties, but as long as there are, the nearby neighbors are always indispensable.

A little cheaper.

That thing is not valuable and anyone can afford it. After all, this is a middle-class community.

But this is the friendship offered by Lynn, and no one will refuse the friendship of this "billionaire" player.

Just like the players who were there.

With the drink in your hand, enjoying the breeze on the river bank, tasting a glass of fine wine, if you want to board a boat and go out for fun, we can arrange it for you.

Lin Shaojie, a "lonely man", also wants to make his house that has not been occupied for a long time more "yang".

Apart from soldiers in the military, these athletes probably have the most yang energy and the most abundant qi and blood.

Danny Granger, who was belatedly arriving again, was pulled into the team of players by Lin Shaojie, and he was introduced to everyone in a serious manner.

Paul George, who had had a little drink, even said that this was his "big brother" who took good care of him and hoped that everyone would give Granger more opportunities on the court.

At this moment, Granger no longer has the main position, and it is likely that the people cooperating with him are these "newbies" who have just arrived. Granger is a little angry, but also a little happy.

A lively dinner lasted until after ten o'clock.

The staff cleaned up and then packed up the relevant equipment and took it away.

Looking at the lonely and empty house, Lin Shaojie felt homesick.

Who said that the beautiful country is prosperous? Except in the city center, it is normal to work at sunrise and rest at sundown. Not to mention this time, even on weekends, it is inconvenient to buy anything nearby except driving out.

The nightlife is even more nil. If someone holds a barbecue party or something like that, all the neighbors want to participate. It's so lively and lively, except for a few neighbors who like to be quiet.

When Chinese people gather together, they might as well be cuddling together to keep warm and join in the fun.

It's no wonder that young people in beautiful countries are willing to run to big cities. In China, when the lights are turned off and the people are quiet at night, they can occasionally get a taste of life in the mountains, but they can't stand it after a long time.

Lin Shaojie also called home first, and then read for a while before going to sleep.
