In the Pacers' public training before the official start of the game, the main and substitute lineups appeared one by one. The main lineup led by Lin Shaojie was the most eye-catching.

The stadium was packed with fans who were present. There was no actual tactical training. The players played very easily. They used basic pick-and-rolls and fast-break tactics back and forth. It was just a large-scale interaction with the fans.

Lin Shaojie's performance is very stable, but he doesn't have much playing time.

Paul George was crazy. He and Roy Hibbert performed dunks one after another in the arena, drawing real cheers from the fans.

West sat next to Lin Shaojie and whispered: "If you don't go up and dunk one, many fans will come for you."

Lin Shaojie looked at the many people on the sidelines, many of whom were wearing the No. 13 jersey and could be considered his fans, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, Paul just signed the contract, give him more opportunities!"

Paul George successfully completed his contract extension with the Pacers. There is a lot of difference between the maximum salary and the non-maximum salary, but such a large amount of money is not easy to get. The innate conditions for triggering Rose's clause are there, walking.

If you want to give it, Paul George also wants to get it, but you have to do it, otherwise it will be a castle in the air.

In this way, if the Pacers have to ensure that Paul George has sufficient playing time and eye-catching performance, will this steal Lin Shaojie's limelight?

The Pacers' front office is also worried.

The relationship between the two bosses and the second eldest children is there, and there is a feeling that they can't have their cake and eat it too.

Fortunately, Lin Shaojie knows the basics, and there are no restrictions on Rose's clause. It is impossible for Lin Shaojie to sign the Larry Bird clause. After all, the salary threshold of a rookie contract is there.

There are rumors that Larry Bird wants to introduce a new "Lynn Clause" to solve the signing problem of Shaojie Lin and solve the Pacers' salary cap at the same time.

The Pacers definitely want to do this. After all, the income that Lin Shaojie brought to the entire team can be seen with the naked eye. Look at the 30 million that Kobe earned this year. This is not allowed under conditions. If conditions allow, the Pacers want to do this too.

.

In other words, if Lin Shaojie applies to leave now, any team in the NBA that aims to win the championship or make money will want him.

This is a manifestation of both strength and popularity.

At present, Paul George has renewed his contract with the maximum salary, and Danny Granger, David West and others, as well as Roy Hibbert and other players in the future also have contract renewal issues, plus Lin Shaojie is bound to

If the maximum salary is renewed, the Pacers will sooner or later pay the luxury tax as a small ball market.

Lin Shaojie, who spent most of the Open tournament observing his teammates, would occasionally take out a notebook to record some of his teammates' habits, which was somewhat similar to the coaches sitting next to him.

If you put on a suit, it will be no different from the uniform team.

Scola's touch is really good, and his finishing ability at the basket is actually quite strong. The most important thing is his flexible feet and good rhythm;

Gobert's height is a great weapon, but the "Gaul Tower" still needs some time to adapt to the NBA. He is a somewhat traditional center and does not use three-pointers to open up space for his teammates.

Small throws are still very lethal.

Coupled with his high shooting point, Lin Shaojie is confident that he will get shooting opportunities in the interior, but whether he can score depends on his finishing ability.

The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie saw "brave" in him. Roy Hibbert was not "brave" but "reckless."

In terms of mentality, Gobert is even better. For Lin Shaojie, it is natural that there are new people and the old ones are forgotten.

He also believed that the members of the coaching staff were not stupid and saw this. Although Roy Hibbert still maintained his starting position, Gobert, who came on as a substitute, got a lot of playing time. As a rookie,

Definitely impressive.

Sometimes when David West is resting, Gobert comes on and the Pacers turn into a "twin tower" tactic. Lin Shaojie plays too easily on the outside.

It's no wonder that Kobe Bryant has a soft spot for this lineup. Any player with outside shooting ability will definitely take off against this twin-tower lineup if he presses the pass button a few times more.

Lin Shaojie, who set a rookie assist record last season, is confident of setting a new high this season.

Stockton maintains an average of 13.8 assists per game, and Lin Shaojie also averages 13.2, a gap of 0.6, which is not difficult.

As for the other players, they can fill a lot of vacancies anyway. I don’t know if it’s because of Lin Shaojie’s outstanding passing ability. Many of the new players recruited are mainly shooting.

This made Lin Shaojie think of the "one star, four shots" lineup and play style.

However, the Pacers' lineup is more reasonable than the so-called "one star and four shooting", with a balanced offense and defense.

When the training match came to an end, Lin Shaojie took to the field again, which somewhat satisfied the fans' expectations. He completed this "entertainment" task with a few fancy passes and dunks.

In early October, the 2013-2014 preseason officially started. During this half-month period that lasts until the end of the month, the Pacers have a total of eight games, two of which will be hosted by the Pacers and Lakers in China.

One is located at the MasterCard Center in the Imperial Capital, and the other is located at the Mercedes-Benz Center in the Magic City.

The Pacers play first as guest and then as host, but everyone understands that for the Pacers, everything is home.

There is no Little Giant, no Kong Yiyi, and even Sun Dasheng is no longer at the water cooler. As the only remaining member of the Chinese nation remaining in the American professional basketball team, his team is the home court of the entire Chinese fans.

Even though the Lakers have extremely high appeal in China, and even though Kobe is the most famous overseas star, none of these can stop Lin Shaojie from killing everyone in the basketball field.

When Conseco Arena was once again in flames and filled with smoke, the old neighbor from Chicago became the Pacers' first opponent in the preseason.

Rose finally returned to the game after 526 days of absence.

When he returned to the game, Ross, who was wearing a red jersey, and Lin Shaojie, who was wearing a yellow No. 13 jersey, became instantly bright.

The entire Conseco Arena was filled with restless sounds.

The shouts of "Lynn" and "Rose" resounded throughout the arena, and everyone was looking forward to this core battle, which also made "Pickled Pepper", who is also the main player, envious.

Outside the court, there are also many stars from afar sitting on the "small bench" on the sidelines. As a small ball market, after the Pacers won the first place in the regular season record last season, this place is recognized as difficult to grab."

seats.”

Among the rows of seats was the little music diva who stood out the most. She was one of the people who had been rumored to have an affair with Lin Shaojie last season.

Apart from Sharapova in tennis, she is the media's favorite gossip.

Her height and appearance are all right, at least in the eyes of the American media. At first, some NBA players said bitterly that Lynn was not worthy of the little diva. After all, the little diva not only has beautiful people and beautiful songs, but also attracts money.

His abilities are still exaggerated. Even though Lin Shaojie is known as "Mr. Fifty Million Dollar Sword", he is far from that.

After the financial incident of "Coca-Cola's investment in BodyArmor" broke out, there was no such news anymore.

The news about the "golden boy and beautiful girl" instantly overshadowed the "Chinese-Maoist (Russian) Alliance."

When it comes to the ability to attract money, Sharapova is not inferior, but before this, similar news would give people the impression that women are strong and men are weak. Fortunately, now it has been smoothed out or even surpassed.

As for Su Zhen, she has black hair and black eyes. In many media descriptions, she is even described as an ugly duckling with a "wizened figure" who climbed a high branch for some reason. They are not keen on promoting Lin En's campus love. At most, they will say that he

His off-field life is dull and boring.

Who makes those viewers like these boring and uninteresting news?

They cannot appreciate the beauty of the East and are more keen to promote those Chinese people with small eyes, flat noses and weird bones. As for Su Zhen's good looks, they completely ignore them.

figure?

Wouldn’t it be called a beauty if her hips were bigger than her shoulders?

Anyway, the front (convex) and back curvature is their favorite.

Now that the little diva appeared on the sidelines, and she was wearing the No. 13 jersey, she instantly attracted cheers from the fans. Lin Shaojie was pushed over by his teammates, giving them a long-awaited hug.

The reporters who had permission almost put their cameras on their faces.

"Welcome back, Lynn!"

"Thank you, thank you for coming to our game."

"No, I came here specifically to watch your game."

The little diva was slightly twitchy and shy with her words, which made the fans nearby scream "Ouch" and howl like wolves. This almost confessional tone was like sprinkling a handful of sugar, making everyone nearby feel full and full.

Feel.

Lin Shaojie smiled but said nothing: Act, keep acting, who is not a "movie king" or "movie queen"!

"How does it feel to go back?"

"great."

Lin Shaojie and the little queen just hugged each other gently. At least the two of them were friendly friends, at least they were not in a strange relationship.

"I'm going to play."

Lin Shaojie waved, high-fived the little diva opposite him, then turned around and ran towards the court.

Everything falls in the eyes of the little queen, natural and free, and everyone can see the trace of friendship in her eyes.

When the whistle of the game blew, the fans no longer paid attention to these, but turned their attention to the field.

In this game, the Pacers' starting lineup is still the starting five, with no changes, and the Bulls finally have a long-lost impression.

In the starting lineup, Rose leads the way, Jimmy Butler, Mohammed, Luol Deng, Boozer.

Most of these are acquaintances.

In the draft this season, the Bulls selected Tony Snell from Los Angeles, a 6-foot-7 small forward; they also selected a power forward from France like Gobert, Eric Murphy.

Old coach Thibodeau also had some regrets. When the Bulls were gaining momentum, they met the Big Three Celtics and Heat, and then last season they met the suddenly sudden and unstoppable Pacers.

It seems that God is against them. Ever since the 23rd, it has taken away all their luck.

During the offseason, the Bulls completed the reinforcements they wanted and didn't want. Hamilton and Thomas terminated their contracts, and the coach's reliable substitute became someone else's player;

Nate Robinson went to the Nuggets, and Belinelli also went to the Spurs.

In addition to the two draft players, they acquired Mike Dunleavy from the Bucks and Mike James from the Mavericks, then completed a free signing with Pittman and completed a contract extension with Mohammed.

Except for Dunleavy and Rose, who is recovering from injury, the Bulls' lineup seems to be unchanged from last season.

At least in Lin Shaojie's eyes, the Bulls' lineup does not have the possibility of competing for the championship.

Except Ross.

Rose, who started the game, became the biggest focus of the game. Even Lin Shaojie was carefully looking at the core of the Bulls. Of course, the opponent was also looking at him secretly.

Lin Shaojie, who is already a second-year player, is no longer an unknown person. On the contrary, whether Lin Shaojie will repeat his "miraculous" performance as a rookie in the new season is still a major attraction in the US NBA.

Where is his "rookie wall"? Will he encounter the painful lesson that rookies are at their peak?

After the game started, "Rose" Rose did not show his aggressiveness from the beginning. Instead, the Bulls' Muhammad was aggressive and took the first five points of the visiting team.

Then Lin Shaojie counterattacked and sent out assists one after another. West and Hibbert fired at the same time in the paint, giving the opponent six points, but after that, it was like becoming invisible.

Two minutes later, Rose finally completed his first shot.

After beating George Hill, Rose drove directly to the basket and completed a layup in front of the gate created by Hibbert and West, but unfortunately missed.

What is shocking is that Hibbert's "butter hands" grabbed the defensive rebound.

The basketball he just caught was slapped down by Rose, who completed the steal and tip-in at the same time.

At the moment when Rose was given two points, Rose also made a steal.

The Pacers' Black Tower made a mistake.

Jimmy Butler, who was mentioned as a starter from the bench, also had an eye-catching performance, scoring four points with sudden shots. If George Hill hadn't hit a three-pointer from the outside, the Pacers would have lost the game during this period.

Acting very normal.

Where's Lynn?

This is a question that many people have. Except for his performance in the opening counterattack, he seemed to disappear after that.

He seems to be following Rose for a while, following Butler for a while, and then running in front of Muhammad again, completely outside the Pacers' tactical system.

McMillan, who was sitting in the audience, said to Frank angrily.

"What is Lynn doing? This is an official game, can he be more serious?"

"Don't worry, it's just a preseason game."

"I know, but look at how he played, how many points his opponents scored in front of him, and what about his defense?"

McMillan felt a little unhappy. Lynn was the Pacers' strongest defensive player on the outside. Without him, it would be impossible for George Hill to defend Rose.

"Nate, Lynn has always been like this. In unimportant games, he is more used to observing his opponents on the court.

Butler is just a substitute player who has only been mentioned as the main player; Mohammed is also new, and Rose is also unfamiliar to Lynn.

He needs to maintain a certain understanding of the situation of these players in the new season. Some things on paper are far less accurate than actual feelings.

Give him some time and he can do things you can't think of."

After Frank finished speaking, he added: "It doesn't matter if we lose this game or even the preseason games. As long as Lynn can perform normally, we will be the most competitive team in the league."

"Really?"

Nate McMillan said with some disbelief.

Lin Shaojie, who almost disappeared not long after the start, made the Pacers seem to be passive. A championship team actually went back and forth with the Bulls. They were the complete championship lineup last season.

Do the Pacers want to surprise everyone in the preseason?

Of course, considering that Rose has already come back, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, Rose is also synonymous with "miracle". The Bulls with Rose and the Bulls without Rose should be two teams.

...

Lin Shaojie is wearing the Pacers' home jersey on the court. Among the players who mainly have dark skin, he stands out from the crowd.

Perhaps because of the preseason, or perhaps because he focused more on observing the "state" of his opponents, Lin Shaojie's cold temperament in the past has dissipated a lot, and he has become more gentle and friendly, and he interacts with other players.

The tension between them is far apart.

Those star-like eyes are extremely attractive, and the upright bridge of his nose hides his unruliness.

The little diva sitting on the sidelines with her chin in her hands was full of eyes, looking at No. 13 not far away.

The camera records everything in front of it.

Although most of the audience at the scene knew that Lin En had a Chinese girlfriend, and her daughter gave birth to a child for him, they knew too little about that woman. They only knew that their relationship was very good, but more or less, they still hoped

What happened to this little music diva and Lin Shaojie?

Lin Shaojie's behavior of almost disappearing is unforgivable in the eyes of professional fans, but what does everything mean to the little diva?

All she needs to know is that the opponent is handsome, whether he plays well or not, whether he plays well or not, is the same.

Looking at Lin Shaojie's light steps and leisurely manner, the little diva felt a little nervous and found it difficult to control herself.

For the little diva, there is never any love for no reason. She became famous in her teens and debuted with a sweet image, but she was soon labeled as a rebellious one. In fact, she was a persona created by the agency.

During the period when Lin Shaojie was most popular, the two were involved in the gossip media just because of a basketball game. She did consider this, but did not implement it. She only invited each other to the concert, especially

After handing over the microphone and listening to the other party's talented voice, the little diva became a little tempted, and was even prepared to stay up that night.

But the heartless person left just like that, disappearing off the stage before the concert officially ended.

From hearing about it to being curious about it, from being curious about it to feeling good about it, it starts to move people's hearts little by little.

The other party looks like a scumbag. He stirs up people's hearts and then sets a fire and then leaves. How can there be such an irresponsible man? You have to put out the fire.

"Lynn, what's wrong? It doesn't work at all!"

When too many people in front of and behind her expressed such emotions, the little diva asked her friends around her: "Did Linn play badly?"

"This is not a bad thing, it has no sense of existence at all."

Compared to the little diva, her "friend" is much more professional.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shaojie suddenly sped up on the court. Jimmy Butler, who had performed well in front of him, had just received the basketball and was intercepted by Lin Shaojie.

Rose, who was passing the ball, immediately rushed over when he saw this. He wanted to block the opponent's fast break.

But how could Lin Shaojie, who had successfully intercepted the ball, stop? After moving laterally, he connected with his hips and dribbled the ball behind his back. Lin Shaojie just finished one set of moves and had already squeezed Rose behind him.

The rhythm is very good!

West's cover was also in place. Before the opponent's defense change was completed, Lin Shaojie broke through from the outside and cut inside. His corner running from left to right instantly attracted the attention of Bulls' Boozer and Luol Deng.

They rushed out, fearing that the opponent would shoot or dunk.

After completing the screen and returning to the paint area, West turned around and received the basketball sent by Lin Shaojie. He completely deceived the Bulls inside with a fake move that looked like a real pass.

Facing the empty basket, West thought for a second before completing the dunk.

Everyone saw West's hesitation.

"Should I dunk directly? Or should I dunk directly?"

Anyway, Lin Shaojie's assists are so direct, you know what to do the moment you catch the ball.

Lin Shaojie, who had only one outstanding performance, showed a smile to Rose, who was "late to come" after seeing West complete a dunk.

Lin Shaojie, surrounded by Luol Deng and Boozer, seemed to melt into each other like the scorching sun in the cold winter.

West, who was not far away, said to Rose.

"You're finished."

Although he has only recorded one assist in the last few minutes, and although his smile is warm and refreshing, West has already smelled the "flavor of victory."
