My basketball vision is different
Chapter 287 Victory over the Pistons
Walking into the basketball arena again, Li Dacheng and McDonald were sitting in the Auburn Hills Palace. Perhaps for the Chinese, the greatest significance of this arena was the brawl that affected the pattern and direction of the league.
If there had not been the dispute on the court, or the fight between players and fans, the impact of the incident would not have been so great.
But the final trend led to subsequent changes in the league structure. The Pacers, who had the most hope of winning the championship that season, sank. Miller's last hope was shattered. The Pacers gradually turned from a strong player accumulated over many years into a weakling. If it weren't for Larry
After the reconstruction is completed under the leadership of Bird, the Pacers' rise will not be so smooth.
Therefore, the Palace of Auburn Hills became famous in the world!
This season, the Pacers are in full swing compared to the Pistons, who are struggling to survive. The Pistons, who shouted "win now", did not perform well after the start of the regular season. They lost to the Grizzlies in their first game.
A very reasonable result. The Grizzlies are a team that can compete with the Spurs. Beating the current Pistons is no different than a tortoise. Fortunately, the Grizzlies narrowly won the first game, and the Pistons lost the game at no loss;
Look at their second game, didn't they kill the Celtics and save face?
But this year's Celtics have been bullied by everyone. After entering the reconstruction of the Big Three in 2007, the Celtics finally fell into the mortal world. Their successful team formation also set a successful example for the latecomers, the Heat.
.
However, the "senior group's" dream journey for the championship ended last season.
So it's not surprising that the Pistons defeated a Celtics team that was rebuilding, led by Rajon Rondo.
The Pacers' Danny Granger is injured, which is indispensable to the Pistons' soldiers. If the Pacers' No. 13 is injured, that would be good news.
The Pacers have already entered the era of "The Great Devil of China" from the "Son of Yincheng". As for when the title of "The Great Devil" spread like wildfire, it is probably because so far, Lin Shaojie has shown superiority on both offense and defense.
In terms of ability, it is impeccable.
Unlike Jordan, the old gangster who is called "God", the title of "Big Devil" with yellow skin obviously gives everyone the impression of a villain.
In the final analysis, Jordan is one of his own, the black god on the court. Lao Hei emphasizes that "one of our own people will not cheat our own people." As for whether they believe it or not, it's up to them.
Anyway, Lin Shaojie thinks this is a bunch of nonsense. The first thing those old black men who have slightly improved conditions should do is to escape from their original life circle. They are fed up with the cramped space and chaotic living environment.
At the Palace of Auburn Hills, Lin Shaojie expected the Pistons to give him a little surprise, but he felt that this was a luxury.
The current coach of the Pistons, Morris Cheeks, was also a coach with a player background. He had a prosperous career as a player. He became a coach and then coached the Trail Blazers. Later, he also had a mentoring relationship with the 75ers and Allen Iverson.
Pretty good, but unfortunately, his defensive philosophy doesn't work.
This season Cheeks defeated McMillan and became the head coach for the third time. Logically speaking, such an experienced coach should be more experienced than Monty Williams and Jacqui Vaughn.
But Lin Shaojie, who was expecting a surprise, looked at the Pistons' slightly weird lineup and style of play after the game started and didn't know what to say.
The Pistons sent out a starting lineup headed by Josh Smith, Drummond, Monroe, Jennings, and Billups. It looked very powerful, but it's still the same old saying, they are broken, old, old, and small.
of small.
In a daze, Lin Shaojie thought he was fighting against the Eagles and Bucks at the same time. At a glance, it seemed that many of them had "core" qualifications, but it was not clear which one was the most important.
For the Pacers, George Hill did not play because of a cold, and Lance Stephenson started in his place.
The Pacers have a clear division of labor, and the ball rights are clear to first, second and third.
On the Pistons side, Lin Shaojie felt that Smith was more intimidating to the Pacers, but after the game started, it was obvious that Cheeks gave Brandon Jennings more shot rights.
If facing other teams, Lin Shaojie would not comment much, but now the Pistons are facing the Pacers, last season's championship and one of the most competitive teams this season.
Regardless of whether Jennings is facing Lin Shaojie or Stephenson, this "little" guy who is said to be 1.85 meters tall and 6 feet 1 inch has no advantage at all.
It is difficult for Lin Shaojie to understand the thoughts of the Pistons coach. Is it because he lacks the intimidation power and dares to let the other team's coach let it go? Or is his reputation of "bullying good people" not loud enough? Cheeks actually sent such a tall and heavy man.
Against its "weak" players?
When facing the Bucks last season, Lin Shaojie beat Jennings hard, so the Pistons played ugly at home in the first quarter.
Brandon Jennings' height and weight are completely incomparable to Stephenson and Lin Shaojie. He made a series of 4 turnovers after the start.
Stephenson, who made his first start this season, was overjoyed because two of the opponent's mistakes were caused by him, and the remaining two were made by Lin Shaojie.
Jennings, who is fast and explosive, has a slight advantage over Stephenson, but the advantage is not that big. Even if the fast-paced Jennings finds space, Stephenson, who is unable to guard against penetrations and shots, will let Jennings beat him.
Very uncomfortable.
As for Lin Shaojie, the infinite defense changes with Stephenson are simply a nightmare in Jennings' mind.
Everything about last season was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't know why the coach was so interested in him and let him take charge of the ball in the first quarter. He didn't want to, but it was hard to violate the coach's orders!
After the ball was intercepted twice, Jennings did not dare to break through in front of Lin Shaojie. He wanted to pass the ball, but was blocked by the opponent again.
The "small" Jennings didn't even have room to fight back when facing the "big devil." As long as he was a little slower, the final chance of passing the ball would be lost.
So after four rounds, the Pistons, playing at home, gave their opponents a 9-0 start. The Pacers' oppressive defense forced the Pistons to call a timeout.
After returning from the timeout, the Pistons took a breath and finally focused on Smith. Cheeks realized his tactical mistakes before the game and adjusted them in time, but he didn't know if it had any effect.
"I think no one in the league, especially the Eastern Conference teams, wants to face the Pacers!"
Li Dacheng happily sat in the audience and said, looking at such an opening, he felt comfortable.
McDonald sat on the other side, watching Li Dacheng respond to netizens' questions on Weibo from time to time, and occasionally pay attention to the game on the field.
For Li Dacheng, victory seems to have been determined for a long time. The opening game was just for him to finally confirm the result.
The game in China started at 8:30 in the morning. Many people had already gone out. They could not sit in front of the TV to watch the game. Most of them could only watch the live broadcast of pictures and text on their mobile phones. Only a few people did not mind the consumption of data.
, Dare to watch online videos.
McDonald, who has stayed in China for many years, is well aware of the tremendous changes in China, but he also knows that there are mostly poor people in the world, and not everyone is rich.
Lin Shaojie's performance on the court inspired many people. They like this compatriot with the same skin color and speaking the same words. Although most people can't come to the scene to support this remaining basketball player in the NBA, every game
, this group of people are silently supporting behind the scenes.
And Lin Shaojie's performance on the court is worthy of this. Under his leadership, the Pacers have shown very strong combat effectiveness.
McDonald, who was once the head coach, knew very well how strong the Pacers were at this time. The biggest highlight of a strong team was to win all the games they should win and defeat all opponents they could defeat.
A slightly inferior team has almost no chance of winning against such an opponent.
Is the piston weak?
It does look quite weak now. There is obviously a certain gap between Jennings and Smith. At least in today's performance, the two people are not harmonious.
Therefore, in McDonald's eyes, it is impossible for the Pistons to win; it is even more impossible for the Pacers to lose this game.
The Pistons, who had changed their offensive core, scored, but that was all. The Pacers had an absolute advantage on the court and controlled the overall offensive and defensive rhythm, which made it difficult for the Pistons to achieve anything big.
Smith and Billups need to keep running and pushing to get possible offensive opportunities, and not every shot is guaranteed to hit.
On the other hand, the Pacers were very good at attacking. Smith wanted to defend Paul George, but faced Lin Shaojie who was not afraid of confrontation and easily overwhelmed Jennings and Billups, so he had to make up the defense.
At this time, Lin Shaojie's pass was fatal, and Paul George's physical talent was displayed at this moment.
Monroe and Drummond were involved by Roy Hibbert and David West, and Paul George dunked easily.
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
Drummond, who had never been so aggrieved in his life, felt the Pacers' malice. When he couldn't wait to wave his hand to Paul George, Lin Shaojie's pass was delivered to West's hands.
The Pacers' power forward turned and shot easily.
"Whoosh!"
The scoring method was extremely easy, and the sound of the basketball hitting the frame was very pleasant. However, the sound of the basketball hitting the frame fell on the ears of the Pistons insider, and it was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he was a little overwhelmed.
The lineup was restrained, the tactics were completely out of control, and the situation on the field was in a mess between offense and defense, leaving no hope of victory.
West and Paul George both enjoyed the fun that basketball brought to them. When Jennings' gloomy face and Smith's helpless smile came to midfield, they didn't know what to do.
Lin Shaojie, who played two full quarters of the game, once again got a weird statistic.
The data of 9 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 5 steals, and 4 blocks, especially the last three items, are exactly what a top blue-collar worker in the paint area should do, and this data was only obtained within halftime, leaving people speechless.
The Pacers' top scorer was still Paul George, who scored 19 points and 1 assist in the first half, including 8 points from dunks alone. Four dunks made the Pistons look shameless.
The Pacers led the Pistons by a large margin with a score of 51 to 32. Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills were not sure whether No. 13 would remain on the court in the second half.
Although I hate the Pacers player wearing the away jersey from the bottom of my heart, that kid plays really coolly. He is tall and has long arms, and the perimeter player opposite him seems to be a head shorter than him.
Not just Jennings, but other players seem to be the same.
There are no fancy moves, he just jumps and pulls up to score points, and the opponent has nothing to do with him.
As for the way of breaking through and scoring, it doesn't seem to be very powerful. Isn't it just a change of direction?
Anyway, from the fans' point of view, it's not that the opponent is too strong, but that the home players are too incompetent. They are so simple and unpretentious, and they can easily get rid of their defense by changing directions.
You can master these movements once you see them, and you'll lose them as soon as you learn them!
As for passing, this is a bit interesting. Whether Lin Shaojie passes the ball on the ground or in the air, the strength of his wrist and the length of his arm can help him get rid of the restrictions placed on him by defensive players. This is indeed a talent.
When Lin Shaojie "raises his head high" and starts passing the ball, does Jennings have any way to deal with him?
There is no way!
Therefore, in the view of Pistons coach Cheeks, if you want to restrict Lin Shaojie, you must find a forward player with very flexible footsteps. After all, only Josh Smith on the team can keep up with the opponent's footsteps.
But it's not like Smith didn't do it before in the first half. He had many opportunities to face Lin Shaojie. The Pacers would switch defenses, and so would the Pistons.
But the image of the two facing each other still lingers in Cheeks' mind.
The "Eagle King" in 1985 has reached the peak of his career. He is good at scoring and rebounding. He averages 3-4 passes per game and is considered a man with broad vision on the front line.
But not every one of them is the best, and his single defense ability is still a bit lacking in front of a top player like Lin Shaojie.
In Cheeks' eyes, second-year Lin Shaojie has become the top player in the league.
This is a point guard who combines Nash and Kidd, as well as "glove" Payton's defensive strength, and his comprehensive quality exceeds everyone's imagination. Cheeks has hardly seen it in so many years of coaching experience.
Another player I can't imagine is LeBron, but the "subordinate" relationship between LeBron and the coach is so clear that some coaches don't like the little emperor.
It was Cheeks' dream to be a young emperor who was full of strength, could shoot suddenly and pass the ball.
What is in front of him is a guard who can pass, shoot and defend, which is also his dream.
But this dream became his opponent. When Cheeks arranged tactics in the locker room, he revealed a key message:
Just do your best!
Yes, just try your best!
After the second half started, the Pistons saw No. 13 sitting off the court and resting. They finally felt like they could take a breath, and their offense showed a slight improvement.
Jennings broke through Stephenson's defense for a layup and scored 2 points, bringing the total score to 6 points.
Yes, Jennings, who had high hopes from Cheeks, only scored 4 points in the first half, which was terrible.
However, the point difference between the two sides did not close. Gobert and Scola performed brilliantly in defense and offense respectively, but the biggest change came from Stephenson.
After Jennings tasted the sweetness of him, he kept attacking this point. Stephenson, who should have been able to prevent breakthroughs but not shots, didn't know which muscle was wrong. He had to fight with this little guy and stay close to the opponent.
Stephenson, who wanted to use his strength to torture others, was taught by Jennings how to behave.
When Jennings broke through again, Stephenson stretched out his "hand of sin" and pulled down Jennings who had "taken off" in the air. Although the latter tried his best to protect himself, he still fell in an unsightly posture.
On the court.
The Pistons soldiers who had seen the team's improvement suddenly ignited the anger in their hearts. Stephenson was surrounded by Pistons players with a fierce look on his face. The referee blew the timeout whistle and players from both sides began to intervene.
"Hit him!"
"Beat this guy to death!"
The fans began to boo, which probably meant something like this. Stephenson, who received a first-level foul, was quickly replaced by Frank. He was afraid that if it was later, Stephenson would cause more trouble. Watson, a young player, got a chance to play.
Stephenson looked at the gloomy face of the head coach. Lin Shaojie's face not far away could not see the slightest fluctuation. It was a little too calm. Stephenson's heart sank.
"Are you stupid? Let him rush in. Rudy (Gobert) will greet him. Why did you do it?"
Roy Hibbert looked at Stephenson. Among all his teammates, these two had the most obviously dark skin. When the lights were turned off, only the white teeth could be seen.
George Hill and others are much worse than this.
It's rare for Stephenson's weird personality to be able to talk to Hibbert.
"Lynn!"
Stephenson glanced in Lin Shaojie's direction: "Are you angry?"
Hibbert secretly whispered in the ears of his teammates.
"He must be angry, but he is very good at pretending!"
"You are very courageous. You dare to speak ill of the boss behind his back."
"No, I said it in front of him, but my voice was a little soft!"
Hibbert thought he was cool and said. The corner of Lin Shaojie's eyes twitched through him. The guy's loud voice could still be heard no matter how low he sounded. He was not deaf, so how could he not hear it.
But it seems that Stephenson clearly knew how inappropriate his actions were.
The Pacers, who had the absolute initiative on the court, were actually suppressed by their opponents after he came off the court. The Pistons, who had gained momentum, "convinced people with reason." Watson and Jennings, who came on the court, were similar in stature.
The fight was back and forth, but Jennings still dominated his opponent.
The previous injury obviously had little impact on Jennings, but he just looked a little scary.
Frank quickly made adjustments. The Pacers obviously couldn't rely on Paul George alone. Lin Shaojie continued to rest, and Roy Hibbert was sent out. His strength is much higher than Gobert.
Hibbert's appearance gave Jennings and Smith more scruples when they broke into the paint, and the two sides returned to the "ping-ping-pong-ping" game.
In the third quarter, the two sides played very anxiously. In a single quarter, the two sides scored 16 to 15. Overall, the efficiency was not high.
When the game entered the fourth quarter, the Pistons knew there was no hope of victory. With a huge point difference, Frank resolutely sent out their nuclear weapon "Lynn!"
After Lin Shaojie came on the court, Jennings did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. Stephenson was pushed off the court because of his mistakes. Watson, who partnered with Lin Shaojie in the fourth quarter for the first time, had never played such an easy game.
CJ Watson is also an old player. As a non-draft player, he is like a grandma who doesn't love his uncle and he relies entirely on his own ability to play in the league.
Having been in the league for many years, he knows the importance of holding on tight. In the fourth quarter of the game, he was a dribbling machine, and Lin Shaojie gave him this opportunity.
Lin Shaojie, who was showing off his power on both offense and defense, made every shot. He received Watson's pass in the frontcourt and fired immediately, regardless of whether there was one player, two players, or even three players standing opposite.
The scoring machine's fresh and fiery offensive turned the other Pacers players into wooden men running back and forth.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
Li Dacheng and McDonald, who were sitting off the field, looked at each other, and young coach Frank and McMillan looked at each other.
"Lynn's three-pointer was already four out of four, right?"
Lin Shaojie on the court fired after halftime. Who can defend him? Who can defend him?
Watson felt that his four assists came out of nowhere.
Linn rushed across the half court without even making a change of direction. He watched Jennings come up and shoot directly;
When Jennings and Billups teamed up to double-team, they still made the same move without any hesitation.
The three-point shooting button seems to have been pressed and never bounced up. Even if the Pistons make every mid-range shot, they only get 8 points, not to mention that they can't achieve a 100% shooting rate.
Lin Shaojie had already scored 12 points, and some Pistons fans couldn't help but applaud.
"This little Bi Zaizhi is really accurate!"
The fans sighed one after another. In less than five minutes, the Pacers' No. 13 returned to the bench and watched his teammates and Pistons soldiers fight on the court.
Paul George continues to lead his teammates in the battle, but the core player has begun to lie flat.
After the whole game, Lin Shaojie, who scored 21 points, seemed to be barely qualified, but coupled with his data of 7 assists, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, and 5 blocks.
A strange data of "205555" came out like this.
Since the new season, Lin Shaojie seems to have been subverting the audience's impression of him. His free will seems to be a drama everywhere. You can't see that feeling just by watching the game highlights.
The game is not over yet. Paul George has already scored 30 points on the court. He is obviously the highest scorer in the game and has outstanding dunks. However, in the eyes of the fans at the scene, they can never escape the sight of the man sitting on the bench.
guy.
No wind, no rain, but clear skies.
Li Dacheng discovered that as the game came to an end, the Palace of Auburn Hills became quieter and quieter. Except for the players on the court who were "trying their best" to fight, everyone could see the strange atmosphere on the scene.
The huge point difference is still a game between the Pistons and the Pacers.
The mentality of "you were almost the same before, why are you so outstanding now? I can only look up to you" arises spontaneously.
Li Dacheng knew very well that if this was the Conseco Arena, he would definitely see a few familiar faces in the audience, and they might even be neighbors of Lin's house.
He knows very well that as Lin Shaojie's neighbors, those people are also supporting this local star. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that Lin Shaojie will become the "iconic" player of the Pacers many years later. When it comes to the Pacers, he will inevitably
Mention this Chinese man.
After all, this is the player who brought them their first championship, the core of the core, a totem-like existence.
But now, it's just that I'm in the Palace of Auburn Hills, until the referee blows the whistle to end the game.
101 to 70.
The huge gap of 31 points made the Pistons soldiers embarrassed to face "Jiangdong Father". Reporters who wanted to interview some players after the game were chasing after them.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to accept the interview at the moment."
As the first person directly responsible for the defeat, Jennings eventually refused to be interviewed and fled the arena without grace. Coach Maurice Cheeks was also confused as to whether his choice was correct.
One came to the Pistons from the Bucks, and the other came to the Pistons from the Hawks. Both Jennings and Smith are "new" players, and they are both players who have been "rich" in the past.
Who is the boss?
I'm afraid it needs to be determined as soon as possible. One has a 20 shot chance, and the other only has a 15. However, the scores of the two are equal, both at the 15 level, and the efficiency is clear at a glance.
Jennings has had eye-catching performances on the scene and has also had disappointments, but Smith seems to be in a state of watching jokes. Such things must be adjusted, otherwise this season will be over.
The Bucks made it to the playoffs last season. Although they were eliminated by the Pacers in the first round, who are the Pacers? They were the championship last season. It would not be a shame to be eliminated by them!
If the Bucks don't even make it to the playoffs this season, Cheeks will feel like there's no place for his old face.
