My basketball vision is different

Chapter 289: When Friends Are Here, There Are Good Wines

On November 7, the Pacers defeated the Bulls in back-to-back games and started their five-game winning streak;

On November 9, the Pacers, who were waiting for the Raptors at home, won again, winning their sixth consecutive victory;

This game is the first time that Augustin and Hansbrough returned to Conseco Arena after leaving the Pacers. As the heroes of last season's championship, although they were only substitutes and their contributions were limited, they were still beaten at home.

A warm welcome.

Hansbrough, in particular, performed even better as a striker, dared to play hard, and had a sweet moment in his relationship with Lin Shaojie.

But the good days cannot withstand the invasion of time, a solid team, and poor players.

This season, the Raptors' situation has been greatly improved through operations. The team's total salary is as high as 72 million, ranking at the bottom of the league's first line.

Except for those teams that have great hopes of winning the championship, the Raptors can be regarded as a super giant in terms of salary. Of course, compared with teams like the Nets that treat money as money, they are slightly inferior.

According to the characteristics of each company, under normal circumstances, input and output are directly proportional. The Raptors this season are still worth looking forward to.

However, it is really eye-opening for a team that is not in a big market, does not have any super financial backers, and has no hope of winning the championship, to actually dare to operate like this.

Are the Raptors crazy?

If you are not crazy, then you have other plans. No one wants to be inferior to others, and small football markets also have dreams of rising.

For this game, Dwayne Casey, the head coach of the Raptors, sent out Gay, Lowry, DeRozan, Johnson and Valanciunas in the main lineup.

A vigorous batch.

However, considering such a lineup, the Raptors had lost two consecutive games before, so I'm afraid they haven't adjusted well yet.

As for the Pacers, George Hill finally made his comeback, and the Pacers' starting five came out smoothly.

After the game started, Lin Shaojie took the initiative to "move bricks" for George Hill. Coupled with the advantage of the home court, the Pacers played with great momentum in the first quarter, and George Hill could be said to have made every shot.

If Gay hadn't also burst into fiery form, the Raptors might have been defeated in one quarter.

In addition to organizing, Lin Shaojie still focused on "observing" his opponents in the first quarter!

But even so, the Pacers' superior strength still prevented the Raptors from playing an advantage in Conseco Arena. The score of 32 to 22 was the result of Gay's explosion. The fierce man who scored 14 points in a single quarter was indeed

mighty.

If Gay can work out a good relationship with Randolph, the Grizzlies last season might be able to overturn the Spurs' dominance in the Western Conference, but it's a pity that fate plays tricks on people.

In the second quarter, Lin Shaojie, who had completed his observation task, began to show his strength on the defensive end. He took the initiative to restrict Gay, guard Lowry and DeRozan, and with the support of Paul George, George Hill gained weight this season.

Later showed his power on the defensive end.

The Raptors' offense came to a standstill without a break. Lin Shaojie, who fought continuously, led his teammates in the first six minutes, allowing the Raptors to score only two goals. A wave of 19-4 climax left the Raptors unaware of where they were.

In the second half, Lin Shaojie rested for a whole quarter in the third quarter and did not come on until the last three minutes of the last quarter. Once again, he made three consecutive three-pointers that made everyone impeccable.

That kind of feeling is so good that I can go in whenever I want, which makes the Raptors helpless against the Pacers' No. 13.

The final score of 99 to 84 left the Raptors speechless.

The Pacers won six games in a row, while the Raptors lost three games in a row.

On November 10, for the third time back-to-back this season, the Pacers rushed to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and defeated the Nets away from home, achieving their seventh consecutive victory.

The Nets are currently the team with the highest salary in the league. They are almost a model of sucking blood from the Celtics, but everyone knows that the players on the Nets roster are enviable, but that was the former

A few years ago, the Nets now look like a retirement team.

Kidd became the head coach of the Nets. Last year, he spent a lot of money to find a son in New York. No, his move to buy a house with a lot of money was obviously planned in advance.

In any case, with the high-quality backcourt combination of Deron and Johnson, plus players such as Pierce, Garnett, and Lopez with salaries exceeding 10 million, the Nets' team building method is not only full of money, you

Can't see anything else of value.

The wealth gap between the American basketball teams makes managers of other teams feel envious. Is there anything else they can do?

No!

Because the league's top brass likes such big donors regardless of investment.

Not only that, the Nets also have Kirilenko, Livingston, Jason Terry...

The starting lineup that Kidd sent was headed by Deron Williams, assisted by Joe Johnson, and included a gorgeous and dazzling combination of Lopez, Pierce, and Garnett.

In comparison, the Pacers' starting five are not as star-studded.

But it is already 2013, and it will soon be 2014. These stars are as old as the last century. Once the game started, Lin Shaojie was on full fire. He even took the initiative to face Pierce.

In the previous match between the Nets and the Heat, the "old" Pierce made LeBron lose face. On the defensive end, Pierce made LeBron at a loss. Even though LeBron played almost the entire game unreasonably, the Heat still lost to the Nets.

.

Pierce only played for thirty minutes. If he had played a little longer, he might have been able to teach LeBron how to behave.

But at this moment, Lin Shaojie forced the aging Pierce to accept his old age.

In response to Pierce's strength, Lin Shaojie let his opponent know what it means to beat the master to death with random punches. After the opening, he kept playing with his back, floor flow versus floor flow, it was a complete collision of strength and muscles, and he looked a lot thinner.

When Lin Shaojie faced Pierce, he did not rely on his own flexibility and used his own shortcomings to attack the opponent's strengths. He seemed to be a bit stiff and got 10 points from Pierce.

All five offenses came from post-ups, and Pierce suffered three fouls in the first quarter. Pierce sat depressed for the entire second quarter.

This game had the feel of a playoff level. Both sides did not dare to relax at all. Onlookers even felt that the two sides were about to meet in the playoffs.

Lin Shaojie's toughness is in sharp contrast to Paul George's transformation into a "shooter" on the outside in this game.

Perhaps Lin Shaojie caused everyone a misunderstanding in the first quarter. Facing a double team in the second quarter, Lin Shaojie's pass made the Nets unable to do anything to him. Paul George also enjoyed the previous one, and George Hill fired freely from the outside.

fun.

Paul George, who made 6 of 8 two-pointers and 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 15 points in a single quarter.

At the end of halftime, the Pacers took an 8-point lead 46-38 on the road.

Deron and George Hill had a confrontation in this game. The former did not expect that George Hill's defense has improved so much and is far more difficult to deal with than Chris Paul.

In the second half, Lin Shaojie, who no longer restricted his offensive form, was full of firepower. Everyone could see that the Chinese wanted to clock out in the third quarter. So what if the Nets had objections to this? They couldn't stop it at all.

With full firepower, Lin Shaojie once again showed his true qualities as a point-grabbing master and a cruel scoring machine.

He made 7 of 7 three-pointers without any fear of defense. He scored 22 points on this alone. Yes, there was another 31. Garnett was all over him. Lin Shaojie resolutely took the shot and was knocked down when he landed.

Holding Lin Shaojie in his arms made it impossible for Garnett's foul to escape.

After scoring the free throw, Lin Shaojie was replaced by Frank.

Lin Shaojie, who also sat off the court for the entire fourth quarter, watched his teammates win with data that didn't look easy.

Although Pierce and Lopez teamed up to make a comeback, it was a pity that they were too far behind before and it was difficult to make any significant achievements. In addition, Paul George played very hard in this game and did not give up. In the end, the Nets won

Lost the game at home.

The score of 96 to 89 is not a big difference.

However, after the game, Garnett took the initiative to make friends and hugged Lin Shaojie. It was the remaining hostility left over from last season, and it could be said that the grudges were wiped away with a smile.

Therefore, during the interview, Lin Shaojie did not hesitate to praise Garnett.

"We won again, seven consecutive wins is not our end, the teammates performed very well, Paul... George... David, they make opponents afraid...

.

Garnett?

No objection, I am very optimistic about him. He is a real all-round warrior in my impression, capable of offense, defense, shooting and blocking.

But it's a pity that age blocks all this. If he were four or five years younger, I don't think anyone in this league can be his opponent.

I can't do it, and neither can anyone else. His talent is so outstanding, he is suitable for most tactics, and he is also a 'tough guy.'"

Lin Shaojie's words are not false. If his physical talent is "acquired", then someone like Garnett is really being chased by God.

If the opponent was younger, he would definitely be able to achieve greater success in today's league, and that's not all.

Garnett also learned about Lin Shaojie's words after the game. Except for the slight ambiguity in the last sentence, his praise for him made the veteran with an alien-like head smile so brightly that the corners of his mouth could hardly be seen.

On November 12, after a good vacation, the Pacers returned home to face the visiting Grizzlies.

As the first Western Conference team the Pacers faced, the Grizzlies have always had a good relationship with Lin Shaojie, not only Gasol, but also Randolph.

"Black" Bear is by no means as honest and shrewd as he seems.

As the head coach of the Grizzlies, Dave Joerger is a newcomer in the head coaching position, but he is not new.

He has been an assistant coach with the Grizzlies for six or seven years and has a good relationship with the players, so it is logical to take over the head coach position.

In addition, the Grizzlies' core has not changed much this season, so the results will definitely be the same.

When Jorge took office, the first thing he did was to renew the contracts of Tony Allen and Jon Ruel, and also brought in Mike Miller from the Heat.

Why did the Grizzlies lose to the Spurs last season? They were not bad at all inside and were very strong. If they lost, they would lose on the outside.

It's natural to find some players with shooting ability.

Gay's departure midway through last season was also an act of necessity. The conflict between Randolph and Gay was irreconcilable and a choice must be made.

After the game warmed up, Jorge sent out a very strong lineup of Conley, Allen, Prince, Randolph and Gasol.

As the biggest spoiler in the Western Conference and a member of the Black Eight, the Grizzlies' starting lineup is really strong. If this lineup is placed in the Eastern Conference, at least the Heat are worried. They are afraid of such a team.

If even the Heat are worried, then most other teams are probably worried too.

The Grizzlies' defensive strength alone is surprising.

The Pacers, who are playing at home, will of course send their starting five. There is no doubt about it.

The two sides played very anxiously in the first quarter. It was not just a matter of touch. In the last game against the Nets, the Pacers had already played at the level of the playoffs. The same is true in this game. Facing a team with outstanding strength in the Western Conference, the Pacers

The reporter showed his special skills.

But the scoring efficiency is still not high, not only for the Pacers, but also for the Grizzlies.

Except for Paul George and David West who performed well in the opening game, other players except Lin Shaojie performed generally.

Especially Roy Hibbert, who was so ecstatic that he couldn't even look at it as he was being chased and intercepted by Randolph and Gasol.

In order to fight for the rebound, Hibbert really used all his strength, but in the end he lost the rebound. If Lin Shaojie hadn't been the thief, after Gasol grabbed the ball, he successfully took away the basketball.

In terms of backcourt rebounds, the Pacers may lose to their opponents.

Soon, Frank made adjustments and Gobert came on early, replacing Hibbert.

This is not Frank's distrust, but his protection of Hibbert. Seeing him in so much pain, it is better to let the French tower go up to gain experience.

Gobert, who didn't know the dangers of the world, of course tried his best to fight Gasol and Randolph. Everyone could see that the Pacers' new center was far behind in strength, but that little guy was really tough.

, Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"Yes, that's it!"

“Don’t be afraid of fouls, get them!”

Gobert became the spoiler, "If I can't get it, you won't get it either" with great energy.

After George Hill came off the field, Stephenson, who came in, was also stunned.

Coupled with the overall height advantage of the Pacers, the scene may look a bit messy, but everything is under the control of the Pacers.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 18 to 15. It seemed that the two sides were playing very ugly, but the players felt that they were enjoying themselves.

The two sides did not play anxiously during the rotation, and the scene looked much better. However, when the main players came on the field in the second quarter, the scene quickly returned to the feeling of a bloody battle.

McMillan was a little strange at first. Lin Shaojie obviously had the opportunity to open up the situation with three-pointers from the outside, so why did he hide his weakness?

But soon, as a teaching assistant, he figured it out.

The Pacers' first goal this season is to defend their title. Being aggressive in the Eastern Conference is not enough. Facing a strong Western Conference team like the Grizzlies, the Pacers must seize the opportunity.

It's easy to win, but players don't go through this kind of hardship and enjoy the easy victory all the time. Sooner or later, they will be defeated in such a cruel physical collision.

Don’t have too many teams that are dragons in the regular season and bugs in the playoffs.

Frank has obviously seen this a long time ago. In order to integrate the team, Lin Shaojie can be described as "appearing and disappearing" on the court. Despite the anxious situation, the Grizzlies may overtake at any time, but the Pacers have always had the initiative.

Whenever the Grizzlies have a chance to make a comeback at a critical moment, Lin Shaojie will always use a reliable mid-range shot to stop the Pacers' decline.

Everyone can see who the important player is.

Lin Shaojie, who didn't score much in this game, only scored ten points, but every ball he scored was as precious as gold.

The goals scored by both sides were in a state of "you score two points, I score two points; if you don't score, I don't score; if you score, I will score too". The players' tense nerves did not dare to relax in the slightest.

The Pacers, who have played in so many games, have only encountered this one so far this season. The feeling of meeting an opponent makes you want to stop playing.

Will Paul George still fly to the sky and escape from the earth?

No, he knew very well what it was like to be inside with Randolph and Gasol, so he shot the ball honestly.

George Hill is also back from injury. In this game, he was not on time or accurate...After several times with the whole team, Lin Shaojie was the only one who was really accurate, but he took too few shots.

When the second half of the game started, Paul George and Stephenson suddenly became flawless and teamed up to score 10 to 3, suddenly widening the gap between them.

Lin Shaojie smiled like an old father seeing that his silly son had a future.

Frank, who was sitting in the audience, had an almost identical smile. As the saying goes, "One branch blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming and the whole garden is full of spring."

If the Pacers only rely on Lin Shaojie, there will be no problem entering the playoffs. But if they want to win the championship, everyone knows that it is the result of collective efforts.

The Pacers now have the conditions to train others, including Paul George and Gobert.

Unlike other teams that have to practice tactics and adjust their lineups, the Pacers have the confidence to adjust in actual combat, and judging from this game, they are very good.

After three quarters of the game, the Grizzlies began to exert their strength at the beginning of the fourth quarter, trying to break the Pacers' undefeated streak.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Pacers resisted the pressure brought by the Grizzlies. After half the quarter, Lin Shaojie completed a steal from Conley.

Lin Shaojie, who was dribbling slowly, suddenly said to Tony Allen, who was guarding him.

"The game is over!"

"What?"

Tony Allen must have heard it, but he didn't believe it.

Lin Shaojie made a gesture, which was a gesture used by pedestrians to speed up.

After receiving the signal, Paul George and George Hill ran wildly. Even in the last half of the last quarter, they still had physical strength.

Facing Allen's defense, Lin Shaojie suddenly turned around while dribbling seemingly slowly, completely blocking Allen behind him. However, Lin Shaojie, who had already completed the pass, caused a misunderstanding to all the Grizzlies players. It was this ball that he

Will play singles.

But after turning around, Lin Shaojie had already completed the pass. Before Paul George could react, the basketball had passively fallen into his palm.

Paul George, who was still walking, subconsciously jumped up and faced Randolph and completed a dunk.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

After successfully landing the dunk, Paul George was extremely excited. This was his most exciting dunk in the game.

The accelerated pace of the Pacers has become Lin Shaojie's specialty. He has become a passing master and constantly mobilizes his teammates. Sometimes after three passes, he can go straight to the basket, but he will still hand over the basketball before taking action.

To teammates.

The fans were dumbfounded by the feeling of doing whatever they wanted and passing the ball whenever they wanted.

Lin Shaojie's field of vision is too wide. Sometimes he feels that he has not seen his teammates, but he suddenly takes a shot while walking and the basketball passes. The most important thing is that his teammates can catch such sudden passes. Not a good one.

The ball turned into a turnover, which is very bad.

The entire Pacers team was mobilized.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

All kinds of mid-range and long-range shots were raining down, and the Grizzlies' soldiers discovered that the Pacers' accuracy was so high, just like the Spurs last season.

At that time, they were defeated by this burst of shooting. After all, they did not lose to anyone in the paint.

And this sudden increase in speed also became the reason for the Grizzlies' defeat. Lin Shaojie alone disrupted the seemingly equal lineups of both sides. Tony Allen seemed to limit Lin Shaojie to three and a half quarters, and collapsed in the last five minutes.

In the end, the two sides were evenly matched with a score of 95 to 79, allowing the Pacers to continue their winning streak at home.

Eight games already!

After the game, Lin Shaojie invited all the Grizzlies members to have a meal. The two sides were playing lively on the court, and they were equally lively off the court.

Friends came with good wine, so of course Lin Shaojie sent the nightclub duo of Paul George and Roy Hibbert to fight. In short, they had a great time at the wine table.

The Grizzlies had no complaints about losing the game. The Pacers went on a 13-0 run in the last five minutes, which suddenly cost the Grizzlies any chance of a comeback.

On November 16, facing the challenge of the Bucks, the Pacers once again took action.

The Bucks' unsatisfactory record can only be changed through the stars of hope produced in the draft, but unfortunately, so far, they have not found such players. The Bucks this season continue to follow their path.

The road to reconstruction.

Of the entire team, there was only one Mayo worth watching, including Pachulia and others, who felt that they were all working hard and failing to do their best. Gary Neal felt that when facing the Pacers, he did not have the same energy as last year.

Spirited.

Lin Shaojie actually saw the rookie selected by the Bucks this season, a player from Greece, named Antetokounmpo, a player with long letters.

He has no physical talent, at least he looks outstanding, but he is as skinny as a monkey and has no advantage at all in the league. He played as a substitute for about ten minutes, scored 5 points and committed four fouls.

Lin Shaojie didn't even have time to take action. Stephenson alone made this "Alphabet Song" defeated. After the game, Stephenson even joked that the current rookies are getting worse and worse, and he fell down without even exerting any effort.

, if this continues, the future of the alliance will be lost.

As this year's rookie, Gobert was certainly not comfortable being "robbed" by Stephenson, but that's how the Greek behaved. No wonder everyone is saying that this season is a weak year for the draft, and there is nothing interesting at all.

Now it seems that except for Gobert, whose performance exceeds his ranking, the other players feel a little unworthy of mention. The highly anticipated "quadruple double" rookie is a top-notch guy just by his name.

, isn’t it also a return to ordinary!

It seems that the rumors of "there is only one Lynn" are as expected. Let alone one of the strongest rookies every year, even if someone like Lynn appears every three to five years, it is amazing. Throughout the history of the league, such players are rare.

Looking purely at honor, it is also unique.

Therefore, no one cares about the rookie among the Bucks, including the Bucks' coach and players.

Lin Shaojie discovered one thing, that although the big guy was very tall, he played in a good position and was a swingman. After Granger was injured and the Pacers were short of major generals at this position, if he played

Bringing that guy over can be regarded as a supplement.

At least he doesn't suffer from his height and wingspan, but he is too thin and his strength cannot keep up. The most important thing is that his skills are not that good, and his mentality is still the standard rookie template.

Look again!

Lin Shaojie glanced at the guy with a long and awkward name on the court. If that kid could develop strength and skills, he should be quite talented. However, there were too few players with such a mentality, and generally no one dared to take risks.
