My basketball vision is different

The game was over and the Pacers won. Lin Shaojie's mood was not relaxed, but rather heavy.

Granger is not a bad person, on the contrary, this former boss is very good. He performed very well in the Pacers, with a simple style of play and a classic style of play. He gave everything for the team's victory.

He is not only doing it for himself on the court, but also for the team, but it is a pity that fate plays tricks on people.

Granger's body did not support him in doing so.

Granger has suffered injuries such as a torn Achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis. The patellar tendonitis in his left knee was the culprit of his last long-term layoff. Indy City finally climbed out of the injury whirlpool last season.

Son" went from averaging 20 points per game to averaging 5 points per game.

With such a big data gap, Granger did not give up on himself, he even wanted to transform into a 3D player.

Just an overconfident play, a bad choice, nothing more.

When injuries come back to him, Granger is not the first, nor will he be the last.

Before attending the press conference, Lin Shaojie had already received the news, and all the Pacers players had received the news. In the final analysis, he did not feel that Granger had done anything wrong, he just overestimated his body.

Sometimes people always want to force themselves to do more dazzling things under extreme circumstances. However, there are only a few who succeed, and more often than not, the tight "string" is broken.

People in such a state are prone to accidents, and now Granger used his own living example to stage this scene.

Lin Shaojie can almost be regarded as a "second generation person". Before college, he was just a nerd who loved to study. In his spare time, he relied on his talent to sweat on the court. Other than that, he had no advantages.

If it hadn't been for that magical night, Lin Shaojie's experience would have been even worse.

Some people have said that the weak will only attack the weak. Others have said that life is not easy, life is not easy, and life is not easy.

If most people are given a chance to choose, more people may choose a new "version," and most of them don't want to follow the old path again.

Maybe this is reality!

Of course, Lin Shaojie's sadness did not last long. He did not have the leisure time to feel sad. As a cheater, his life was destined to be infinitely glorious.

What he can achieve is basically the mentality of "those who wear shoes don't laugh at those who are barefoot", because compared to them, Lin Shaojie knows very well that he just has a little more luck.

No matter how miserable Granger is, compared to those at the bottom and the poor, he is still a wealthy man, and he has changed his destiny.

But at the press conference after the game, Lin Shaojie was once again retained by Larry Bird, and with him was coach Frank Vogel.

The Pacers have a trio of key players together.

In the same office, Larry Bird and Frank were very relaxed and did not seem to be too troubled by Granger's injury.

Lin Shaojie also seemed very calm.

"Do you know the final condition of Danny's injuries?"

"I already know. I'll go see him later."

Larry Bird nodded: "Go and see him. This time I asked you to come here is also about Danny. The doctor has given a clear answer. Even with the most advanced medical methods at present, Danny's athletic ability

Compared with last season, there will be a decline of at least 20%.

To put it bluntly, it is speculated that after Danny recovers from injury, it is very likely that he will not be able to adapt to the current game, and he may not even be able to play as a substitute."

"Then what can we do?"

Lin Shaojie raised his head and looked at Larry Bird and Frank.

The former spread his hands: "We can't do anything. We can only watch him recover first, and then see if any miracle happens."

"The hospital has told us that the recovery period after the operation is conservatively estimated to be more than three months."

Frank took the opportunity to say: "As a result, it is very likely that Danny will not be able to play after the All-Star Game. The most important thing is that after he plays, there will be no time to give him a chance to adapt."

How did Lin Shaojie treat Granger who returned from injury last season? He fed Danny Granger the ball in many consecutive games. Even except for him, other players who returned from injury treated him this way.

Lin Shaojie used his "good deeds" to create a pretty good image among the players. This is the biggest reason why Scola was able to give up invitations from other teams and switch to the Pacers.

This is by no means an exorbitant price offered by the Pacers. Among all the teams that want to get Scola, the Pacers only have a mid-range price, and the extras they add are nothing more than that.

In the eyes of many players who know him well, Lin Shao is definitely an excellent leader.

Lin Shaojie chatted in Larry Bird's office for a long time before leaving. Indianapolis, which had already entered winter, was fine during the day, but the temperature at night was close to freezing, and when the cold wind blew through, it revealed a bit of a biting chill.

The journey from the arena to the hospital felt like Lin Shaojie had walked it all over again.

This was how I met Granger last year in the hospital.

Sitting in the car, Lin Shaojie thought of Larry Bird's seemingly small talk, but in fact he revealed useful information to himself.

"Danny (Granger) on the court is a very good player. He is an important player in the Pacers' resurgence, and can even be said to be an iconic player. But since last year, the Pacers have entered from Granger."

During the Lynn's era, our respectable Danny fell into a bad financial situation off the court because of his family.

I think sometimes, maybe those reasons are more important than the fact that he has to play, otherwise he's worried about how long his career will last..."

Lin Shaojie helped matchmaking with his teammates and accepted some short-term endorsements in China. However, Danny Granger, who had been out for a long time last year, missed all of this. Moreover, he behaved very generously after recovering from injury. Lin Shaojie did not consider these small things.

.

After all, Danny Granger holds the second highest salary in the team, second only to Roy Hibbert. A boss with an annual income of tens of millions, certainly does not need the help of Lin Shaojie, a "millionaire".

of pride.

But looking back, Lin Shaojie confirmed that this was true.

Granger, who plays a simple style, has never been the darling of the media. In addition, the Pacers are in a small ball market, so he does not attract the attention of fans. Even because of his "ordinary" and "simple" classical playing style, he lacks

In addition to the "black and red" factor, in terms of commercial value, he is not even as individual as Lance Stephenson. The latter has a perverse personality and is loved by a group of niche fans.

And that contract with an annual salary of tens of millions will also have restrictions. If certain conditions are not met, it is impossible for you to get it 100%.

The mediocre Granger has been one of the few black people to excel since he was a student, at least on the basketball court.

Who doesn’t want to earn more?

When Lin Shaojie arrived at the hospital and opened the door to Granger's ward, seeing Granger lying helpless on the bed after the operation, Lin Shaojie spread his hands.

"Hi, brother, you didn't blame me for being late, did you?"

...

It was a familiar scene. The last time Granger was injured and lying in the hospital seemed like yesterday. It was already dark when Lin Shaojie left the hospital.

The city center is lined with thousands of lights, which is somewhat similar to Los Angeles, but also obviously different.

There are luxury houses in the city center as well as ordinary run-down houses.

The most important thing is to look at the neighborhood.

Rich areas tend to have clean roads and excellent public security; slum areas are often synonymous with dirt and mess. People can feel the discomfort before they even walk in. If they see sneakers on telephone poles, they should stay away as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the contrast in Polis City is not too strong. After all, this is just a "small" place with hundreds of thousands of people.

Granger and Lin Shaojie talked a lot, maybe because Lin Shaojie is a good listener. Granger didn't talk too much about basketball, but talked about a lot of things off the court that didn't involve basketball.

As a former "son of Yincheng," Granger has long been financially free, but due to habitual excessive consumption, some unreasonable investments, and family reasons, Granger doesn't have much money on hand.

Let's put it this way, if he stopped playing, Granger would probably go bankrupt and even move out of his current residence.

Granger spoke very cryptically about this matter, but Lin Shaojie heard clearly that the reality was far more serious than what Larry Bird said.

Based on this calculation, Granger, who seems to be a superior person, is at most middle class.

The middle class in beautiful countries is envied by everyone, but it is this class that is often harmed. It is difficult for the rich to be greatly affected. They know how to avoid risks far better than others.

As for the poor?

People who are on subsistence allowances, do not even qualify for relief, and are not even eligible for relief, are of course going to join the mixed class. If you want to escape from that class, you must work harder than others.

Lin Shaojie had heard those things from his teammates before, but they were far less shocking than what Granger said. After all, there are hard-working people everywhere, and the income from a seemingly inconspicuous blue-collar job is not low at all, and the cash is far more than that of a white-collar worker sitting in an office.

Be more practical.

These people are always so family-oriented. They work hard just to provide better conditions for their children and to escape from their original living environment as early as possible. They are no different from the group of people in China who pursue their dreams.

Granger has worked hard and done it before. He is afraid that one day he will return to before signing a big contract and he wants to stand on that court again.

But both of them know that it will definitely not work in a short time. What about the future?

Who can say!

Granger even talked about the area in which he lived, talking about the various things that happened to Lao Hei, and the group of people who had not yet escaped poverty, but who were particularly disgusted with "foreigners".

There is black and white!

Among immigrants from other countries, some come from formal channels, while others come from gray channels, including Asians and South Americans.

They often work harder than the natives, and the bosses like these new members who are paid less but work more seriously.

So they who were eliminated naturally hated these immigrants.

They originally had a stable job and had free time, but now everything is gone. They have to compete and put in more effort, but their income has not increased.

For this group of people, they miss the old days, they hate immigrants, and they hate those who take their jobs.

But it’s not like Lin Shaojie has never studied history. How did the beautiful country successfully occupy this land? After the founding of the country, the real aborigines in the North American continent were almost killed. While listening to "The Last of the Mohicans"

》Crying while frantically plundering land and wealth...

For the people here, everyone is an immigrant, but some come early and some come late.

Lin Shaojie knows that what this society needs is a lot of "screws." Smart people who can see through the essence have a very hard life, because they will not be content with the status quo and always want to get rid of the shackles of fate.

Is this Lin Shaojie?

It seemed that he had escaped and became a master, but Lin Shaojie knew very well that he was still far from it.

Children of poor people belong to the bottom class, and children who are poor and black are at the bottom. It is difficult for most black children to cross class through education and hard work.

Only a very small number of lucky people can achieve class advancement through channels such as becoming singers, actors, and sports stars. This is not easy, and it is easy for them to be jealous of the black children around them.

Lin Shaojie roughly understood what Granger meant.

He became one of the 450 players in the league and the biggest beneficiary after Granger's injury.

From the court to the locker room, he took away everything that originally belonged to Granger.

Lin Shaojie, who took one of the quotas, must have squeezed out the quota belonging to Lao Hei. People may not necessarily see the attention and new income brought by Lin Shaojie.

Because in the eyes of that group of people, what they saw was that a yellow man did not study medicine or law, which seemed to be a promising career, but instead came to seize the sports that should belong to them.

Discrimination...is everywhere.

Granger's words were sincere, because he had already handed the "scepter" of the Pacers locker room into Lin Shaojie's hands.

A "deposed emperor" had no right to speak in front of the current incumbent. Lin Shaojie felt the other party's eagerness to "make good friends" because he was the only one in the ward and there were no other Pacers players.

So some words really came out unintentionally.

But this matter is no longer something Lin Shaojie can decide. Some things are irreversible and difficult to change by human willpower.

Just like the community Lin Shaojie passed through just now, I heard people say that it was originally a standard white community. The housing prices in the community were not particularly high and the residents were not particularly wealthy. Blacks and immigrants were particularly excluded there, so outsiders were slightly

Anyone who knew something about the situation would not choose it as a place to live.

But what about now?

When a black person or a group of black people moved into the community, the entire community began to blacken. Falling housing prices and a deteriorating public security environment gradually marginalized the entire community.

Nowadays it is difficult to see white people, and the residents are often people of color.

Those with yellow skin will not choose. Although they are discriminated against, the conditions of yellow people who work a little harder are much better than those who are old and black.

The car stopped slowly and we arrived home.

Lin Shaojie walked out of the car and found that snowflakes were actually falling in the sky.

Everyone who was about to fall asleep became lively again because of the first snowfall of the year. Many people opened their windows and looked at the world outside the window.

The faint laughter of children could be heard coming from not far away, and it seemed even more peaceful under the gloomy sky.

On this not-cold winter night, it’s like making the final tribute to the autumn farewell.

Looking up, Su Zhen, who was under the porch, had obviously heard the noise. The warm light shone on the woman wearing a light-colored coat. The slim-fitting jeans fit her very well. She was obviously in a hurry when she walked down the steps.

It was the return of her sweetheart that made Su Zhen feel happy.

Under the snowflakes and warm lights, Su Zhen's figure became the most beautiful picture in Lin Shaojie's heart.

Don't bring back what happened on the court.

The road of life is getting faster and faster, and the time is getting less and less. In the first half of my life, my parents are by my side, and in the second half of my life, the woman in front of me is by my side.

Her appearance seemed to ignite a spark in Lin Shaojie's heart, warm and hot.

Lin Shaojie's mentality became more and more relaxed. When Su Zhen walked quickly to Lin Shaojie, the lovely woman was held in Lin Shaojie's arms.

In this moment of complete silence, there is no need to say any unnecessary words. Embracing the person in front of you is like embracing the whole world.

"What happened today?"

"miss you!"

Lin Shaojie's words made Su Zhen's heart warm, and they felt the warmth of the palms on their backs.

"Go in..."

"kindness!"

Lin Shaojie lowered his head and kissed Su Zhen gently under the expectant gaze. The snowflakes in the sky were flying in the air like elves. Under the light, Su Zhen's eyes were moist and shining.

Su Zhen looked at the man in front of him, looking at his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, all the strength in his body seemed to have been taken away, and he subconsciously fell back into Lin Shaojie's arms, with a smile on his face and trembling eyelashes.

, there is a misty feeling.

The rosy little face didn't know whether it was the cold weather or the surging heart. In short, Su Zhen felt a little hot all over.

Lin Shaojie gently hugged the child's mother. The kiss was short but the love was long. After a brief taste, the sucking seemed to have sucked away Su Zhen's soul.

The little fun between husband and wife made the two of them slightly intoxicated. On this not too cold winter day, their souls blended together...

Lin Shaojie was lying on the bed and slowly fell asleep. He had to get up early for training tomorrow.

Instead, Su Zhen looked at the sleeping man through the white snow outside the window.

I remember when I first met Lin Shaojie on campus, he came into view as a handsome young man in the library.

After getting acquainted with each other, he seemed handsome. When he was on the court, his composure and heaviness that did not match his age came over him, and a sense of trust arose spontaneously.

By the time he arrived in London and then the NBA, he was already looking the best in appearance.

Who else has such an appearance?

The chat with Luo Jiali ended on the phone. Her best friend, who did not plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, no longer had too much academic burden. The few remaining classes were not enough to threaten her, so she had already begun to prepare for finding an internship in an employer.

There have been many changes inside and outside the campus of Jiangnan. Although the provincial capital is not like an imperial or magical capital, it is still a big city with two eyes on the other (line). It gathers outstanding talents from the two provinces and there are still many good companies.

One of the liveliest topics in the provincial capital now is that there are many bicycles on the streets, fresh light green and warm yellow. The two companies seem to be competing against each other, but in fact they are both competing for shared bicycles in the provincial capital market.

Luo Jiali knew that the two bicycle parks that seemed to be fighting each other to the death were actually one family, and her best friend's husband was the investor behind the scenes.

I don’t know how many people it has facilitated since it was launched.

Of course, there must be darkness behind the light. Luo Jiali said a lot of things that made her unhappy. That was the wealth of her best friend's husband. Looking at those damaged bicycles, she felt a little heartbroken.

The snow outside the window is getting heavier and heavier. This snow seems to be heavier than usual.

Early the next morning, Su Zhen, who was still sleeping, got up and saw that Lin Shaojie had put on new clothes, made breakfast and was waiting for him to get up. The feeling of satisfaction was self-evident.

When the doorbell rang, Su Zhen quickly heard Lin Shaojie's excitement, opened the door and saw an old acquaintance.

"McDonald!"

"Dacheng!"

The appearance of Li Dacheng and Lawrence MacDonald was obviously beyond Lin Shaojie's expectation.

After all, Li Dacheng was a reporter, so he could understand. McDonald taught in a university in the Land of Abundance, and was a scout for the Suns, so he was already a lot older.

People who met again after a long absence chatted enthusiastically.

Su Zhen brought hot tea, and Li Dacheng looked at everything with envy.

"Our Xiaolinzi is now a standard hot bed for wife and child. By the way, when will the child come over? It's just the two of you in such a big house. Why don't you hire a nanny and security?"

"The child is still young, come over in a while!

During the day when there are no games, Susu and I are together. We don’t feel comfortable with one more person. She usually has to go to class, and neither of us is at home. Except for the weekly cleaning, which requires hiring someone, we can handle the daily hygiene ourselves.

.

Forget about the security issue, my house has the most advanced security system. Anyone who breaks in without permission will call the police directly, and I also practiced shooting with Su Zhen, that... you know."

Li Dacheng said that he did not expect that Su Zhen, who looked weak, was actually a female man who dared to draw a gun.

Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen laughed very happily after hearing this. They were very happy to have friends from far away.

In this beautiful country, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Compared with domestic disputes, this place seems a bit rough and direct.

I won't mess with you, but don't mess with me. Lin Shaojie still appreciates the castle's rules. I have the final say on my territory.

If you break in illegally, I will "tutu" you.

However, most people should have seen Lin Shaojie's related videos, and no one would want to mess with him!

As a popular figure in Xinlang Sports, it is normal for Li Dacheng to continue to follow and report on Lin Shaojie.

It was a bit strange that Macdonald was not teaching and educating people in China. As soon as we talked, it became clear that the old man who settled in China had retired and he would return to Canada from time to time.

Now he has been "rehired" by Xinlang and formed a team with Li Dacheng.

The money is quite generous, after all, they are also professionals.

MacDonald also did not expect that when he met Lin Shaojie again, the young Lin Shaojie had already considered the issue of marriage. If they had not wanted to hold a wedding in China, there was still a little difference in age.

I'm afraid I've already taken action.

The basketball boy who "amazed" him during the major leagues is now about to start a family and start a business, and he still thought everything happened yesterday.

But he has already retired, let alone Lin Shaojie.

Time is gone and will never come back.

McDonald thought of Lin Shaojie's children and Lin Shaojie's marriage. In the Western world, marriage is not a simple emotional issue between men and women.

Macdonald and Li Dacheng looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

If a player like Lin Shaojie, who is not just a basketball player but represents great commercial value, gets married or divorced, it will be equivalent to the combination and split of two listed companies, which is by no means a trivial matter.

Rich people generally have to do justice to their property before marriage. The divorce of media tycoons that happened not long ago is all vivid in our minds.

Jordan, etc., and Iverson, especially the latter, even if he has a good life, there is a high probability that his current assets are not as much as his ex-wife!

One of the reasons why many people are unwilling to get married is that they do not want to take on the responsibilities and pressures of marriage. In addition to the property involved, there may be more invisible pressures. After marriage, the woman will take care of the children and the man will work. In case of unemployment,

For some people with a fragile mentality, they may not even have the courage to survive, and may become homeless.

Therefore, a married man, a father with children, and a father with a happy family often gives people a sense of reliability.

On the contrary, an older bachelor will give people a slightly inferior feeling.

This is the difference between responsibility and irresponsibility.

Thinking of this, Li Dacheng seemed to have heard the news that the house owned by the ex-wife of the media tycoon in the imperial capital was taken over by Lin Shaojie.

It’s been a while since I last saw that little guy who was fighting hard for his dream on campus has become a giant that supports the sky.

Lin Shaojie welcomed his friends and held a banquet at home that day. He even called friends on the phone, and many neighbors came to attend.

Li Dacheng, the reporter who often appears in Lin's house, is not unfamiliar. After all, he lived here for a while last year. Macdonald has a kind face, is easy to deal with, and has high emotional intelligence.

After the snow from last night was cleared away, the spacious courtyard became a playground for nearby children, while parents feasted on the side. Anyway, everything can be grilled.

Some ladies who are good at cooking also brought cookies and desserts prepared in advance at home and placed them in the open air.

The temperature of about ten degrees during the day is still acceptable, but some ladies who are too cold are chatting in the sun room, which is no different from that in China. After getting acquainted, most of them are talking about the East and the West, exchanging little secrets with each other.

Before the next game, Lin Shaojie has a day and a half to rest. No one will disturb him, just turn off the phone.

Compared with domestic social animals, this is undoubtedly much better. I am annoyed when my boss comes to me on non-working days when I have a phone call, and I am worried that I have missed any important information if I don't have a phone call.

Painful and happy!

After drinking and eating, Li Dacheng arrogantly stated that since he was overweight, he had learned how to shoot from his neighbor's old man, and he wanted to prove himself on the basketball court.

Good guy, McDonald is the referee, and all the neighbors are playing with Li Dacheng. It’s a lively game. As for Lin Shaojie?

Sorry, buggy players like him will never be allowed to participate, he will destroy the balance of the game.

McDonald and Lin Shaojie, holding whistles, were sitting on the side of the court. The leeward corner faced south, and they felt very comfortable with the warm sunshine shining on them.

"You are going to defend your title this season. Will Granger's injury have a big impact on you?"

Lin Shaojie nodded, then shook his head.

"We definitely want to defend the title, Larry Bird has worked hard for this.

We expected Danny (Granger) to be injured, but what we didn't expect was that his injury would be so serious and come on so quickly.

Originally we didn't think too much about the small forward position. Paul George performed very well and Danny was a substitute. But now we only have Rasu Butler at this position, Lance Stephen and I.

Sen can temporarily replace him.

I don’t think there is any problem in the regular season, but in the playoffs we definitely need to strengthen this area.”

The Pacers' original strength has now become a weakness. However, they are just missing a substitute. McDonald understood the reason as soon as he thought about it.

"Let's see if there are any suitable players on the market. Anyway, before the trade deadline, you must strengthen this point."

Lin Shaojie nodded. His relationship with Macdonald was not as close as that with Xie Zhenghe, but the relationship was far beyond that of ordinary people.

McDonald was very helpful to him when he joined the NBA, especially when he went to the Suns and even several other teams for trial training. The old man invested a lot of contacts. Of course, Lin Shaojie's rewards were definitely rich.

The most important thing is that the business team behind Lin Shaojie was gradually formed under the guidance of MacDonald and later improved.

The old man seems to be quiet, but he is also a well-known coach of the Maple Leafs National Men's Basketball Team. He has trained several national players. Being a scout for the NBA is considered overkill.

What is surprising is that he actually likes Chinese culture and even settles in China. This is rare. If he were not too old, Lin Shaojie would really want him to use his spare energy.

As for the problem McDonald mentioned, it is also a problem on Lin Shaojie's mind. At present, the Pacers' trading target has not been determined. Who is in and who is out is the trouble.

As a meritorious minister, if Granger were traded at this time, he would probably be scolded by the fans.

However, the second highest salary in the team cannot be played. Granger's commercial value is already there, and there will be a loss if there is one less player.

Lin Shaojie was also a little helpless about this.

In fact, there are no obvious loopholes in the Pacers' current lineup. Lin Shaojie simply wants to do better at this time. Injuries are always the invisible killer of winning teams. No one can stop it. There are always better surprises than tomorrow.

Earlier.

Moreover, Lin Shaojie is even more worried about another point: whether the "smart" Larry Bird will risk everything and trade Granger away.

The smiley "Big Bird" is able to take charge of a team because he is not soft-hearted. Last night, it seemed that the "small talk" obviously meant something else, but Lin Shaojie still didn't know when this matter would be finalized.

Fortunately, he is also the core member of the team, and he will be the first to know before something happens.

On the 6th, the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons in Detroit began at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Pistons decided to end their reconstruction during the offseason and started a "win now" mode. Among the familiar faces from last season, Calderon and Mark Hill were missing, and Middleton also went to the Bucks.

Chauncey Billups returns to the Pistons from the Clippers, and the additions of "Eagle King" Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings are indeed somewhat insightful.

But in Lin Shaojie's view, their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference was not strong. After changing the coach, Maurice Cheeks from the 75ers took over as the Pistons' coach.

With a seemingly good lineup and the Pistons' tradition, they lack an undisputed core. They have too many players who can be the core and too many players who share the ball.

The Pistons are missing an iconic player. Anyway, he is the kind of "quasi-star" player who looks full of talent, but needs to "cash in" to prove himself. Whether he can succeed and make it to the playoffs, coach

The level is very important.

Lin Shaojie hopes the Pistons can give him some surprises.

This is the Pacers' second back-to-back game this season. The first game was against the Pistons. After the game, the Pacers will return home to wait for their opponent the next day - the Chicago Bulls.

Lin Shaojie had already booked the dinner in advance, and when Ross arrived, the latter readily agreed, expressing his desire to break Lin En's curse.

Not only does he want to win, but he also wants Lin En to pay for a treat willingly.
