My basketball vision is different

Chapter 279 The Regular Season Explosion

yes!

"Wolf" is coming!

The Pacers, who have a stable core lineup, have become the target of public criticism in the NBA. Just like the Heat, they have a more stable starting lineup, and they still maintain the same starting lineup even after winning the championship.

But unlike the Heat, whose bench still has doubts about its combat effectiveness, the Pacers grabbed Scola at the critical moment.

For the Pacers, David West is definitely a good player, but unfortunately age and injuries are constantly affecting the veteran, and Scola's emergence has perfectly filled the Pacers' vacancy.

The Gobert that the Pacers got in the draft is even more eye-catching. From the current point of view, the Frenchman is actually one of the players with the most potential. What is even more rare is that he is also a big man.

Regardless of the fact that Michael Carter-Williams, selected by the 75ers, performed well in the preseason, which raised expectations;

Oladipo, whom the Magic selected with the second overall pick, is also the most eye-catching among the Triple-A players.

But what is the 75-man lineup?

The 75ers who entered the reconstruction process were not optimistic by many experts before the game.

There is no longer any chance to attract public attention. They are even the black eight team with the least presence.

As a rookie, when Williams comes to such a rebuilt team, he may not be able to start directly. After all, their salary is more exaggerated than that of the Hawks. Thaddeus Young, who has the highest salary, only has a salary of less than 10 million.

Richardson, a veteran, also holds the second-highest "high salary" in the team!

This shows how competitive the 75 people are!

In such a team, Williams will definitely have the opportunity to play, but it is a bit difficult to have a future!

Without going through the baptism of the playoffs, a rookie is just a rookie. Even if he plays like Lin Shaojie, the Chinese in the regular season will still be constantly doubted. Only in the playoffs can his strength be completely proven.

As for Oladipo, he is the No. 3 overall pick, and before him is the Pacers No. 13, who is known as "the strongest rookie in history."

Even if Oladipo performs well in the preseason, will fans who are used to eating delicacies still be interested in a No. 3 pick who averages 10 per game?

On the other hand, Gobert sits firmly on the Pacers' bench. Even though he is a substitute, on many occasions, his playing time exceeds that of Roy Hibbert!

The Pacers clearly see the potential of France's "Tower" and want to focus on cultivating it. The French who dare to fight and fight are not just "fighting and retreating" on the court. They look very "rigid" and are among the substitutes.

A very useful player.

From the perspective of teams lacking inside players, the Pacers once again picked a treasure.

The cheerful Larry Bird even said in a joking tone when facing reporters.

"My disciple Lin En has the appearance of a great emperor. He took a fancy to the Frenchman at the draft, and his eyes are as vicious as mine..."

The old hooligan who was swinging on the golf course was dismissive when he heard this, but turned around with a sour feeling. He always felt that "Big Bird" was reflecting on himself.

Although the Bobcats have gotten rid of the hot spot at the bottom this season, after all, the rebuilding 75ers, Magic and Suns may all have a worse record than them.

But this is not a good thing. 2014 is recognized as a big year for the draft. At this critical moment, the Bobcats actually made themselves "not look so bad?"

The old hooligan felt that God was joking with him. Why did the team always slip up at critical moments and fail? This kind of situation was made worse just when things were about to turn around. It was obvious that

It shows that even the God of Basketball cannot save him.

Do you think Jordan is angry?

Spurs forward Jeff Ayers, who was playing in Miami, also complained after the game that the Heat's style of play was so poor that they almost eliminated him in just one preseason game.

As a member of the Pacers, the Pacers substitute striker formerly known as Pendegraaf came to the Spurs in the offseason. I don't know if it was because of the Eastern Conference Finals last season that there was a dispute.

As soon as Els's remarks came out, the owner of the Mavericks followed suit and criticized the Heat, saying that their "grouping" behavior is not conducive to the healthy development of the league. If everyone does this... look at the Pacers.

Wouldn’t it be possible to win the final championship without teaming up?

Anyway, Cuban is pretty good at pulling and stepping. The main reason is that the Mavericks didn't see any "good stuff" during the entire offseason. Since the Mavericks won the championship, people's hearts have also dispersed. It's hard to lead the team.

The "German Tank" cannot be carried by one person, not to mention that Dirk is getting older and older.

Els's voice was also tacitly approved by Popovich. The defeat in the finals did not sink the old coach's ambition, but instead prompted him to work harder this season.

The Spurs completed their reinforcements during the offseason and hired two young players from the Pacers. One is the renamed Els and the other is Sam Young. In fact, these are just side dishes. They renewed the contract of Argentine "Devil Sword" Gino.

Billy and Split, and poaching Belinelli from the Bulls, this is the real highlight.

The Spurs just sent away Gary Neal, DeJuan Blair, and then retired McGrady.

On the basis that GDP is one year older, the Spurs' reinforcements are extremely cost-effective.

After all, except for the untouchable "classic car" trio who account for the bulk of the salary, even Belinelli's annual salary is less than 3 million, which is really very affordable for a team like the Spurs.

In the eyes of Popovich this season, among the powerful players in the Western Conference, there are only a few that can be their opponents. The Clippers, Warriors and Grizzlies are all defeated by them. Their brilliant resume makes the Spurs not afraid of these goals.

Team challenge.

Lakers?

I don’t know when Kobe will return from injury. The Lakers without Kobe are just toothless tigers in the eyes of the Spurs, ready to be slaughtered by others. They’d better get past the Clippers first. It’s not certain whether they can break into the playoffs.

.

Anyway, Popovich is not very optimistic. D'Antoni's experience with the Lakers is a piece of shit in Popovich's opinion.

As for the Rockets?

When Howard can connect seamlessly, then Popovich will look up to the opponent. On the other hand, the Thunder, which has caused the most damage to them in the Western Conference in recent years, has also suffered heavy losses.

The Thunder's substitute level is too poor, and Perkins' big contract falls in the eyes of Popovich, which is the "original sin!"

The contract will expire in 15 years, with an annual salary of 8 million, which is far more than Ginobili's salary. In addition, Durant and Brooks' maximum salary extensions, the Thunder will not be able to keep him unless they are willing to pay a high luxury tax.

Someone else.

Harden finally left Houston and the Thunder's "three young men" fell apart. At that moment, Popovich felt relaxed.

The NBA has never been a purely competitive game. As the player's strength improves, the corresponding salary must increase, otherwise it will not be able to retain people. How can players be willing to make sacrifices? This is a necessary skill for managers. Popovich is

How can a veteran of the workplace not understand?

On the other hand, the Pacers, under the control of Larry Bird, their lineup operates very well. As the Spurs coach, Popovich is also the most concerned about it.

Among the Pacers' staffing, the most surprising thing right now is Danny Granger. How can Granger, who plans to "switch careers" to become a 3D player, still earn tens of millions of dollars per year? At least not in the hands of Popovich.

, either buy it out or leave.

Compassion does not control troops. To control a team, you must have such a decisive mentality, otherwise it will be over sooner or later.

And among the players he paid attention to, as expected, it was No. 13!

In the only game he had, he specifically asked video editors to edit relevant images of Lin Shaojie in the preseason.

In these seemingly inconspicuous, defensive-oriented personal images, Popovich was surprised to find that Lin Shaojie had improved again, especially his shooting methods.

Lin Shaojie's shooting methods last season were diverse, but the seemingly rare shooting in the preseason still allowed Popovich to see some signs. The kid's shooting seemed to be like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace.

That feeling of freedom is what every pitcher dreams of.

Regular shots are almost not difficult for Lin Shaojie. Popovich also knows that Lin Shaojie is very powerful, so his shots can be used in a short range, but for shots that require high strength, some are even holding high.

When you start, you think the opponent will pass the ball, but the opponent takes a small step and takes the shot quickly.

This high shooting point, combined with Lin Shaojie's height and wingspan, makes it almost impossible to defend from the outside.

However, in the preseason, the Pacers' No. 13 did not show too much of his skills. He still focused on passing. The Pacers seemed to have the best players in Paul George and George Hill.

Especially for the latter, he must have worked hard on defense during the offseason.

In Popovich's eyes, the Pacers are still the most competitive team this season. He will not believe the words of so-called experts, including ESPN. He himself is the real expert.

In the East, the Bulls' record has soared with Rose's return, becoming the second-best team in the East after the Pacers and Heat.

Rose, who was proud on the court, was frustrated in love off the court.

The happy time of defeating the Pacers made Rose a little too carried away after the game. His fiancée suddenly visited and found Rose with another woman on the bed. The marriage was annulled and his fiancée became his ex-girlfriend.

Ross's son was born in October last year. Not long ago, Ross even posted a photo celebrating his birthday. He didn't expect that the family would encounter changes so soon.

When he learned the news, Paul George smiled like a fool. It seems that except for Lynn, everyone is actually the same. The eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother.

The Knicks, a team that was very competitive last season but failed in the playoffs, have once again regrouped this season and are ready to go.

After all, although the championship is far away, a round trip obviously cannot meet the expectations of the top and bottom. The same problem is that the age group is too old. The Knicks lack potential stocks that make people shine.

On the contrary, the salaries are horribly high and the poor value-for-money contracts leave a lot of "fake big-name" players.

Not to mention teams like the Pacers and Heat, even the Bulls and Nets can't compare. Judging from the cards, any of the former playoff teams is better than the Knicks.

In the offseason, they first renewed the contracts of Jr. Smith and Prigioni, and then hired Ci Shiping from the Lakers. Artest's many years are not just "power generation for love," but his dream of returning to his hometown to play is also considered.

It finally came true, but it is questionable how much stock Artest still has in the tank.

With Kidd's retirement coupled with the departure of Camby, Novak, Richardson and others, the Knicks' competitiveness is showing a downward trend. Relying on "old and weak" players such as Anthony and Stoudemire

"Disabled" players, New York has told everyone almost from the preseason that their goal is not to win a championship, not a word.

"mix!"

The Achilles' heel of the Big Apple City is similar to that of Adou. It occupies a good place for nothing and cannot be supported at all!

On October 30, the Pacers, who had finished their preseason, faced their first opponent in the regular season at home - the Orlando Magic.

Last year, because of Howard's incident, the Magic, the Lakers, the 75ers and even the Nuggets were involved in a four-way trade. The Magic, which was described by the US media as "getting a bunch of junk," is actually still enjoying the fruits of their trade.

As a center, Vucecic often gets two pairs when there is a lack of good big players, but his annual salary is less than 2 million. Let me ask you, is there anything more cost-effective than this?

Non-lottery players Harkless and Nelson both performed better than expected.

For the whole team, except for Jamal Nelson and Afflalo, whose annual salary of 7 to 8 million seems a bit dazzling, the other players all earn close to the minimum salary, and the one with the most is this year's rookie Oladipo.

This kind of Magic is too damn healthy in the eyes of the manager. Throughout the offseason, the Magic only made minor adjustments. Except for a few rookie players, they freely signed the Pistons' Jason Mark Hill.

The highly cost-effective Magic challenged the Pacers away from home. The former can only be said to be in the rebuilding period, so the outcome of this game is no longer important. What is important is to fight and see how their rookies perform. We don’t expect to be like Lynn last season.

A super show, at least one or two eye-catching players would be good.

Of course, why we arranged such a weak opponent for this game is obviously to seek good luck. After all... this is the home court of the Pacers.

Before the game, a grand championship ring awarding ceremony was held at Conseco Arena.

Almost all the players attended with their families, and half of the top executives of the NBA were also present. Many of the fans at the scene were from China. With this momentum, this game held at Conseco Arena

, there was some one-sided trend before the game.

Almost no one is optimistic about magic, after all, they are "too worthless".

After the game started, the Pacers still had the standard starting five lineup. Lin Shaojie and George Hill led the back line. The forwards were Paul George and David West, and the center was Roy Hee.

Bert.

On the Magic side, the point guard is Nelson, shooting guard Afflalo, small forward Harkels, power forward Marshall, and center Usevic.

Have any Magic players heard of it?

Many of the names are unfamiliar.

During the pre-game introduction, the spotlight seemed to be swaying and not taking care of the magic.

Victor Oladipo, the No. 3 pick in this year's draft, was sitting off the court and looked at the No. 13 player wearing a yellow jersey on the opposite side. When the opponent put on that shiny gold championship ring, everyone present was envious.

Ever since Oladipo got the ranking of "Third Flower Show", many media reporters have compared the two together.

Similar height, similar weight, same draft position...

Everyone knows that it is definitely unrealistic to have another evildoer like Lin Shaojie, but who would give up on their dream?

Oladipo is no exception. He also wants to prove himself. He doesn't want to defeat the guy who is not a human being. At the very least, he must first establish himself as a starter in the Magic.

Lynn has become an indispensable member of the Pacers in a short period of time. As a student at Indiana University, Oladipo has had the name "Lynn" in his ears since last year.

In other words, there is no one in Indiana who is more superstar than Lynn. He is the idol of most basketball fans in the state.

The Chinese man has become the darling of the media since he came to the beautiful country. At the beginning, everyone used the joke "Mr. Fifty Million Dollars" to tease him, and everyone understood the feeling of expecting your failure to come at any time.

But as time goes by, people have started from a rookie to become the All-Star vote leader, and then from the All-Star vote leader to a historical rookie.

Until now, more than one person has placed the title of "the strongest rookie in history" on Linn.

As a player who is slightly older than his opponent, how could Oladipo not be a little bit jealous.

Everything in the draft was vivid in my mind. Lin Shaojie, who was among the rookies, finally personally selected the French tower, which made other rookies feel like they had lost their souls.

So Oladipo wants to prove himself, prove that he is no worse than the Frenchman, and even...he wants to try to challenge what Lynn did during his rookie period.

The Magic's front office and coaching staff have told him more than once that opportunities will be given to him. After all, he is now the Magic's third-highest-paid player, and there is no way he can just sit on the sidelines and be a bystander. He is also an important part of the Magic's rebuilding period.

member.

Anyway, if it sounds good, you don’t need to pay for it, and Oladipo also wants to show his ambition in such words.

However, at this time, Oladipo could only sit on the court as a spectator with "ambition". The opposite No. 13 had already started. I wonder if he would have a chance to meet the opponent.

Looking at the Chinese woman sitting on the sidelines, Oladipo knew that she was his alumnus who was also studying at the state university. She was also Lin's girlfriend and had given birth to a child for Lin Shaojie in the summer.

A member of the "ladies" group of the NBA, he is also the best friend of Kobe Bryant's wife Varney, and there is a feeling that a wife is valued based on her husband.

Although many people said that the woman's figure was not good enough, that she was not protruding enough, and that she was dressed conservatively, no one denied that her face, which was both Eastern and Western, was really beautiful. She sat on the sidelines with her chin in her hands and watched her beloved man compete.

, is almost every player’s dream scene.

"Crash!"

When the audience on the sidelines raised their arms and clapped, Oladipo looked away. The Pacers on the court had already scored first. Lin Shaojie, who had successfully scored two points, made a gesture of holding a baby. Everyone knew that was

What's the meaning.

The fans at the scene applauded without hesitation and cheered along.

"Lynn!"

"Lynn!"

"Lynn!"

Oladipo raised his head and looked at the big screen above his head. He was distracted just now.

After the game started, Roy Hibbert defeated Vucecic on the opposite side with a jump ball. David West didn't stop at all after getting the ball because Lin Shaojie had already rushed out.

"David!"

With a loud shout, West received the message and threw the ball with one hand, but his movement was a bit big.

Facing a fast-attacking Lin Shaojie, Vucicic, who failed to jump the ball, was like a slow-paced amateur player. He was obviously closer to the ball, but Lin Shaojie got the basketball one step faster than him and turned around with a 360-degree turn.

Vucecic.

Lin Shaojie returned to his position and broke through quickly as if he was about to take off, heading straight into the Magic's inside line.

Nelson, who was on defense, wanted to reach out, but was suddenly thrown away by the opponent. Afflalo and Hackels even joined forces to double-team.

But Lin Shaojie took the European step as if he was using the passing technique on the football field. Lin Shaojie was obviously going to the right, but the moment he took the step, he went to the left. The directions of his left and right feet were completely opposite.

The right foot is used to push the body to the right, the left foot is used to push the body to the left, and the crossing steps are somewhat similar to the sense of cornering in short track speed skating.

"Fuck, isn't this Ginobili's usual move?"

Looking at everything on the screen, Oladipo suddenly woke up. The people are not the same person, but the actions are really similar.

Looking at the current American NBA, the best European movers are Argentinian and Wade Wade, but the latter is not like the standard European move, and uses more lateral movement to avoid defense, so when

After Wade was injured, the threat of breakthroughs plummeted, but Ginobili became more and more demonic as he got older.

Lin Shaojie's weird steps that go against the normal movement of the human body completely avoided the double-teaming of Afflalo and Hackles.

The tall Lin Shaojie looks like a martial arts master with superb physical skills. His center of gravity is very low and he can change directions at will. His whole body feels like he is flying close to the ground. At first glance, he looks like someone who has practiced kung fu.

The two defensive players almost "staggered around," shifting their center of gravity left and right, swaying, and finally Lin Shaojie broke through easily.

Lin Shaojie, who broke through the two men, faced an empty basket.

Lin Shaojie, whose impact was a bit strong, took off the last step and seemed to fly over the basket and miss the chance to dunk.

The fans didn't even have time to make a sound of regret. Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, relied on his "small waist" to stop suddenly in the air. He relied on his core strength to complete the transformation in the air, stretching.

Grab the ball with one arm with a straight arm, and then turn around and dunk after flying over the basket.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

The whole dunking action is relaxed and freehand, but extremely arrogant.

Lin Shaojie's whole body was shaken by the impact, and then he stopped and landed lightly. Then Oladipo saw the "cradle" celebration gesture, and all the Pacers soldiers followed Lin Shaojie.

The person behind him was doing the same action, and Su Zhen on the sidelines turned red.

On the screen, Lin Shaojie's personal offensive scenes were played from all angles, almost a 1v4 scene, allowing Lin Shaojie to face the Magic's "money-losing" lineup with ease.

The feeling that I have to break in even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me makes the audience's blood boil.

It's rare to see such an explosive Lin Shaojie. This was just the first goal of the regular season. Lin Shaojie gave the Pacers fans a big surprise.

Oladipo's heart froze when he saw it. To use a common saying, this ridiculous talent is "exploding!"

Conseco Arena "blows up" from the first kick!
