My basketball vision is different

"Only ten games?"

Larry Bird said disdainfully after learning the final outcome of the alliance.

Although this punishment seems very severe, in reality, if a white player says some insulting words against the old black player, it will be a punishment of several games.

As a Chinese national, Lin Shaojie's ten-game suspension is definitely a good deal for him.

But Larry Bird also knows that if the Chinese are replaced by Jewish "big" people, ten games? Just kidding, you will be kicked out of the NBA immediately. Believe it or not!

So Larry Bird was very dissatisfied. He heard it clearly from Lin Shaojie's mouth, and the cause and effect were clear at a glance.

But it was useless to be angry. He originally stayed in Polis, but rushed to San Antonio because of the team's recent turmoil.

Now that the alliance has officially announced the test and processing results, the subconscious message is to let everyone live in peace, and this matter has been revealed.

Those who deserve punishment have already been punished. It’s very face-saving. How can you continue to cause trouble?

"I think what Michael said makes sense. Although we want Paul George to get better data this season, form the Indian Twins with you, and be selected for the All-Stars at the same time, his current cold is not completely cured. I

I think it will take at least two or three days of work.

Facing the Spurs in the next game, you can take over the offensive responsibility, how about it? Do you want to try 50 or even 60 chances? Winning streak is enough for us."

There is something in Larry Bird's words, and the meaning is relatively obvious, that is, he can give up his winning streak for Lin Shaojie's personal data, and based on "Big Bird's" understanding of Lin Shaojie's ability, such a thing can be done.

Isn't it just to increase the right to take action? What a simple thing.

The most important thing is that there is no shame in losing to the Spurs!

On the other hand, Rose's meniscus was torn and his season reimbursement was a wake-up call to the Pacers and even teams across the league.

For the future of the team, there is no need for players to "play through injuries." Rose was seriously injured again in a game at the end of last month and early this month, and was eventually announced to be out for the season, which became a haze over the Bulls.

Larry Bird didn't want the "second boss" to be energetic. As for Lin Shaojie, he was the one the team doctors paid the most attention to. After all, Rose had no injuries in the first three seasons, but they continued to happen one after another.

Lin Shaojie's meticulous examinations, maintaining a high degree of physical attention, and rotation within the team ensured his health and efficiency!

In the next game, Larry Bird's words seemed to "unseal" Lin Shaojie!

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just let go and fight!

"Thank you, I will decide based on the form on the court!"

Lin Shaojie nodded to express his gratitude. After coming to San Antonio from Salt Lake City, if it weren't for the disturbing media, all the Pacers could relax.

But that's not possible now. There are swarms of reporters outside the hotel, and even the Pacers' staff are the targets of interviews.

Larry Bird issued a gag order, prohibiting anyone from being interviewed. He wanted to calm down the incident and let the players' focus return to the game.

Lin Shaojie's "peaceful" mentality was particularly important. Larry Bird even patted him on the shoulder when he got up.

"I know you have been wronged. Although this is all I can do, when the Pacers become a powerful team, then he has enough power to speak and no one dares to insult easily. Do you understand?"

Lin Shaojie nodded, stood up and left.

"Big Bird" is right, but Lin Shaojie feels that this sentence should be added a little bit more. Why is it the wealthy family instead of the wealthy family and the core?

A fine is a small matter, but a ten-game suspension is a big deal. This is a rare punishment in recent years, and because this is Kanter's own trouble, the team will not bear the burden for him. Calculated based on his salary, the loss

The income will make it impossible for him to laugh again this season.

This can also be regarded as a wake-up call to other players. It doesn't matter how you fight on the court, whether you are stubborn or not, but don't show off with words.

Just when Lin Shaojie arrived in San Antonio to prepare for the game, the Lakers also played away against Washington.

Kobe, who was still recuperating, held a grand press conference with the team in Washington to officially announce that he had renewed his contract with the Lakers.

This will also be his last contract with the Lakers or his career.

A two-year contract worth nearly $50 million!

This was a decision made by Kobe Bryant and the Lakers after long negotiations. This news instantly covered up the "dispute" between Lin Shaojie and Kanter, and also cooled down the topic of discrimination.

You know, this is a veteran who is over thirty-five years old. When the contract ends, will the contract of a thirty-seven-year-old veteran who should have retired long ago still have such great value?

Everyone knows the "gold content" of Kobe. Such a contract is by no means purely based on competitive ability. On the contrary, it includes off-court influence, Kobe's significance to the Lakers, and many other aspects.

After Kobe Bryant completed his contract extension, many media received mixed reviews.

Too many media people said that Kobe's extension will cause a butterfly effect for the Lakers, which will create great difficulties for their future recruitment.

Some outspoken experts even said that the Lakers would be insulated from the championship after extending Kobe Bryant's contract.

Because of Kobe's high-dollar contract extension, the Lakers will only have more than $20 million in salary space next year, which will make it difficult for them in the free market.

The most they can do is sign a superstar and then sign a free agent to a mid-level contract.

And Gasol's contract will expire next summer...

As the person involved, Gasol immediately sent a message of congratulations, and so did Lin Shaojie. After all, the relationship between Kobe and the Lakers can be considered to have a beginning and an end, and the story of one man, one city can be considered complete. As long as Kobe doesn't make any more mistakes,

Make a comeback like an old gangster or something like that!

But in fact, Lin Shaojie can only say about Kobe Bryant's contract extension, "Under the interests of each other, we each get what we need."

Kobe got a big contract, and the team could tell a story. The wool comes from the sheep, and Kobe will definitely have to pay something in the end.

No matter how much Kobe makes, the Lakers will definitely not lose.

The Lakers, who are in the super metropolitan area, have too many ways to make this money back.

But for other Lakers players, even all players including Pau Gasol, the team's honor, etc., have to pay for this heavy contract.

It is recognized that Kobe's competitive level has declined. If the team wants to remain competitive, Gasol is the only choice inside.

However, this season's annual salary is close to 20 million US dollars. If Gasol wants to stay in the Lakers, the only possibility is to reduce his salary, otherwise...

Lin Shaojie didn't understand that when he and Kobe became rich together, they didn't earn much at all. Although no one would mind that the money was too much, at the end of his career, he cut his salary to retain talented players, and relied on his honor on the court to make profits off the court.

, isn’t it a better thing?

Why is this so?

In any case, the enjoyment of life, except for a few top-notch luxuries, under normal circumstances, one hundred million US dollars can taste almost everything in the world until the end of life.

It can be realized from the sky to the sea, and the delicious food and beautiful scenery from all over the world are right before your eyes.

Lin Shaojie feels that his judgment of human nature is still a little too hasty, even for his good friend Kobe Bryant in the NBA.

He didn't believe that the veteran who had been in the alliance for many years didn't know the consequences of this incident, so he could only say:

"Earn every last penny of profit!"

It was precisely because of Kobe's blockbuster contract extension that Gasol understood that he wanted to stay in the Lakers and continue to partner with Kobe. So with the Lakers' current financial resources and usual operations, he-Paul Gasol

You will definitely take a salary cut.

While Lin Shaojie watched the TV screen, Kobe Bryant made it clear that this would be the last contract of his career. The old black man with a rare handsome face said, "I will go through fire and water for the Lakers." The fans burst into tears.

At that moment, Kobe said that it would still take some time for him to recover from injury, but he would also use his ability on the court to prove that those who doubted him were wrong.

On the other hand, Gasol showed his heart and soul when being interviewed by reporters.

"I will take a pay cut. Yes, I decided to take a pay cut and stay with the Lakers to spend the last days of his career with Kobe."

Gasol, who made important decisions, was extremely compassionate, and his brotherly love was most vividly demonstrated under the influence of money.

Gasol averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds per game this season, becoming the Lakers' scoring and rebounding leader, dragging the Lakers forward in the days when Kobe Bryant is no longer around.

But when the reporter sent these words back to Los Angeles, Kupchak, as the general manager, said hesitantly.

"We are not currently in any negotiations with Paul. We cannot yet determine the future direction. We have many different situations..."

After talking so much nonsense, the summary is that the Lakers are very cautious about Gasol's contract extension and cannot give a definite answer yet.

After all, Gasol's salary this season is close to 20 million US dollars. Even if he takes a salary cut and makes sacrifices for this, the Lakers cannot stop him and cut him in half. That is not in line with the style of a wealthy club. After all...

..Gasol is also old.

When I saw Lin Shaojie here in the news, I knew that no matter what decision the Lakers made in the end, Gasol couldn't keep him after hearing the news.

Based on my understanding of the Spaniard, Gasol, who has been involved in trade rumors in the past two years, has never been able to improve his status in the eyes of the Lakers' top brass.

Whether it was D'Antoni letting Gasol come on the bench or the arrival of "Warcraft" Howard, Gasol's status in the team has been lowered. If it weren't for Kobe's support, Gasol himself would have planned to leave.

If it weren't for Howard's "Rockets trip," I'm afraid the Lakers' top management would have tried their best to keep "Warcraft," and then drive Gasol away.

Now that Gasol has "committed to compromise" and taken a salary cut to stay, Kupchak couldn't even make a statement in the first place. Any player with ambition would not stay.

As the saying goes: a broken mirror reunites...what a ghost.

He was heartbroken, not because he didn't want to stay, but because he couldn't stay.

Last season, Shaojie Lin probably communicated with Kobe, Gasol and others from time to time, whether it was on the phone or in other ways, and he always seemed to talk a lot.

Nowadays, everyone doesn't need to talk so much to each other. Everything is said without saying anything. After staying for a long time, you will know what this alliance is like.

At the very least, Gasol, who has won two championships, has no regrets. The future of the Lakers does not lie with him, and he will not target the Lakers.

There was still friendship when Kobe was here, but when Kobe finishes his two-year contract, Gasol may have to continue pursuing his dream.

Without anyone, the earth will continue to turn.

If given the opportunity, Lin Shaojie would also like to partner with Gasol, but unfortunately, the Pacers have only completed the contract extension with Paul George this season, and with the high salaries of Hibbert and West, they want to bring in Gasol again.

, is definitely unrealistic, unless the team is willing to pay the luxury tax!

Lin Shaojie also knew that when he was strong, everyone would circle around him, getting wind and rain, but one day when he started to decline.

Flowers and applause will turn into tears and ridicule, and it is normal to praise others.

On December 8, the Pacers' penultimate road trip officially began in San Antonio.

The Pacers challenge the Spurs away from home!

Paul George already knew before the game that he would get half of the playing time in this game. Although he felt good about himself, the team doctor still cautiously said that facing the Spurs, Paul George should try his best to play in the limited time.

Within, reduce breakthroughs and increase more COS shots.

Frank also didn't want Paul George to wear himself out too much after suffering a bad cold. The regular season was not even halfway through, and the team still needed his ability to continue fighting.

During the warm-up before the game, Lin Shaojie also chatted with his "opponents" for a while at the ATTC Center. Unlike those who were hypocritical and conciliatory, Lin Shaojie had a good relationship with everyone in the Spurs. Although there were not many opportunities to meet every year, they would always sit down when they got together.

Eat a little together, drink a little and chat.

So when facing the old man, Lin Shaojie took the lead in thanking Popovich for his "support." Of course, Popovich was interested in his competitive spirit on the court. The old coach believed that he could never be a

"Medicine Man," the Spurs cannot lose to such an opponent.

Occasionally one game is very possible, but there are seven games in the finals. The intensity is so high, and each game lasts for more than three hours. Do you act like a medicine man in front of everyone?

Just kidding!

In the pre-game interview, Popovich even praised Lin Shaojie's recent achievements on the court, but what he talked about more was the wisdom Lin Shaojie showed on the court.

"Lynn will definitely become a great coach after he retires. His mentality is very mature and completely different from other players. This can be seen after entering the league.

Frank is very lucky to have an apprentice like him. He has a deep understanding of the game, is good at interpreting the game, and can listen to his teammates and make them stand with him. He is the Pacers' coach on the court...

..."

Popovich's words of praise set a "peaceful" tone for this game!

How could Lin Shaojie not know?

Of course, what Lin Shaojie is most grateful for is the French sports car Parker. Leng Touqing did not care and sent a message of support as soon as possible. He said that he will definitely go all out in this game to show his gratitude.

Regarding Lin Shaojie's statement, Parker was pleased but felt uncomfortable at the same time. Facing a Lin En who was going all out?

Although he was well prepared, he felt a little unsure!

As for Ginobili and Duncan, the former said that Lin Shaojie "stole" his European step skills and was better than his old master, while the latter didn't say much and just wanted to touch Lin Shaojie's hair.

How could Pacers No. 13 make it happen? The Argentinian was right next to him, a living example. Of course he avoided it!

On the contrary, "Kawaii" seemed a little silent and a little stunned. When he saw Lin Shaojie, it took him a long time to say a word.

"I trust you!"

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile, lightly hit Leonard on the chest, and then hugged the big guy.

After not seeing each other for a while, his shoulders have become broad again. While Duncan and others are getting older, he has gradually grown up and become an indispensable member of the Spurs!

In between joking, the competition...has officially begun.

The Spurs fielded a familiar lineup, Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan and Splitter.

Although the tone had been set before the game, Popovich never relaxed.

The pattern of strong in the west and weak in the east has been going on for many years, and this year it seems to have reached a critical value.

In the East, apart from the Pacers' current unbeatable record, which is unique in the league, only the Heat and Hawks have a winning rate of over 50%.

The New York Knicks have sunk and I don’t know if they can get back up;

The highly anticipated Nets are also an example of a “senior club”;

The Celtics are full of injuries, and Rondo is really sitting on the coaching bench directing the "battle".

The opposite is true in the Western Conference, where only three teams have a winning percentage of less than 50%, namely: the Timberwolves, Kings and the Jazz, who were just defeated by the Pacers.

Even the Lakers, who have a terrible record this season, still have nine wins and nine losses, which is fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, but ranks fourth from the top in the Eastern Conference.

From this point of view, except for the Pacers and Heat, which can be considered strong teams in the Eastern Conference, the rest are weak.

The Pistons and Nets are the two teams that have made the biggest signings this season. The former has Jennings and Smith, and the latter has robbed the Celtics.

The two teams are strong on paper, but after the major replacement, they have suffered a lot of injuries and it is extremely difficult to adjust. Currently, the Pistons are in eighth place and barely squeezed into the last round of the playoffs;

The poor Nets spent nearly 200 million US dollars, and the end result was that they were in vain.

As for the rebuilt Bucks who have lost Jennings, the Magic without Howard, the Celtics have long been separated and without the Big Three...

The dark road to reconstruction is still treacherous, with a cycle of bad performance, draft selection, continued bad performance, and continued draft selection.

It seems that after the Pacers got a sweet spot in the draft, many teams feel that this road can be successful, but no one knows where it will be in the future and whether it can succeed.

For next year's draft, most teams in the Eastern Conference this season have become "fish and meat" on the "Daozu", allowing them to be slaughtered!

The Bulls were originally full of momentum after the start of the regular season, but the end result was that Rose was retired for the season once again after a month of glory.

Maybe they can make it to the playoffs, but forget about the dream of a dynasty revival.

As for the Knicks?

That is simply a chronic disease of history. Stoudemire's notorious "bad contract" was thrown into his hands, which was worse than worthless.

The "old money" in the Eastern Conference seems to be no match for the endless battle for injuries and rights. The outcome can already be seen, and I don't know if Anthony is still willing to stay there and waste time after his contract expires.

Popovich took one step at a time and looked at three steps, assessing the Spurs' opponents in his mind. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the unshakable starting five on the other side.

In such a bleak Eastern Conference, a strange flower like the "Pacers" actually grew. Popovich himself never thought that it was as if the Pacers had taken away the luck of other teams and became the center of the "flower garden."

A special case that blooms alone.

The Spurs have not achieved a record without losing. Although they have experienced it once last season, it has become synonymous with miracles. Now that it has happened again, Popovich no longer recognizes this as a miracle, but

Strength dictates!

The Pacers are now qualified to be on par with the Spurs.

Among the starting five, Lin Shaojie is not the tallest, nor is he the strongest.

Compared with last year's trial training, he is obviously longer, and his lean body is full of infinite strength. Players on the team, including Ginobili, Parker and even Duncan, have made it clear.

Don't be fooled by Lynn's thin body. He is full of strength and speed, and his physical fitness is almost the ceiling of the league. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, he could be counted on.

In Popovich's impression, LeBron is still a little bit behind. At least in front of Duncan, LeBron can't jump. But looking at Lin Shaojie, although he didn't take everything away in last year's finals, he still had some problems.

Feeling at ease.

After all, one is the red sun rising and the other is sunset.

Leonard's increasingly generous body made LeBron feel a little uncomfortable and even deflated when facing this rising star.

However, when the Pacers' No. 13 faced Leonard, although he was not like facing other players, he was still able to calmly separate himself and not embarrass himself like LeBron.

Popovich knows very well how much Leonard has improved under his training. If it weren't for the Pacers' No. 3 overall pick in the league, the fact that the Spurs are in a small ball market, and Leonard's low-key

style.

Then this player is the one with the best future, at least that's how Popovich sees it.

But even with Leonard, a player with immediate combat potential and greater future value, Popovich still has some regrets:

If I had been ruthless last year, the Spurs would have the core for the next ten years!

The team that has always had Leonard and Lynn is looking for a successor to Duncan. As long as it is enough, if this continues, three consecutive championships are the minimum, right?

But even if they are the Spurs, and in the small ball market, the Spurs have always been the one who is prudent. The Texas Three are "poor." No, among the top three Texas, perhaps only the Spurs are the most pitiful!

In the past odd-numbered championship years, Duncan could only rely on one person to maintain face in the All-Stars, and the presence of other players was extremely low.

If you choose Lynn, not to mention other things, just in terms of commercial value, you can let the Spurs build another team. Look at the Rockets when they were little giants, absolutely wipe out everything without leaving a trace of profit!

The standard “Juicer!”

pity!

What a shame!

If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai, no, I would choose the future - Lin En!
