My basketball vision is different

119 to 87! A 32-point difference. From the 29-point difference when Lin Shaojie came off the court to the 32-point difference at the end of the game, the Pacers' substitutes knew how to do their job and did not act harshly.

The Pacers defeated the Nets with a big score in the away game. Although it was not like the two games against the Rockets or Celtics, such a score difference still made Paul George very excited after the game.

Everyone understands how much attention this Christmas game has received, and there is absolutely no shortage of gimmicks. The most important thing is that Pierce of the Nets lost face and dignity.

"We didn't have an advantage at the beginning, but we quickly made adjustments. With Lynn here, we were always able to maintain our desire for victory. This desire for victory will make our opponents tired of dealing with it, and the final result will be

It illustrates this point." Paul George said excitedly.

"I think we are already a team with multiple All-Stars. Yes, in addition to Lynn and me, Stephenson also played at an All-Star level. He got a triple-double in less than three quarters.

, I can't think of any non-All-Star player who can perform like this. He is an indispensable member of us, and he is the All-Star in our hearts..." Regarding Paul George, he inadvertently revealed

of

Everyone is well aware of the behavior of "canvassing votes". When the All-Star voting was in full swing, Paul George did not hesitate to help Lin Shaojie's younger brother. He and Lin Shaojie were already certain that they would enter the All-Star. Now of course they have to share some

"Tang Tang Shui Shui" is given to others. At present, the most promising person on the team is not Hibbert, nor West, nor George Hill, but Stephenson, the Pacer.

"The Best Sixth Man," Stephenson played his best performance during the contract year. Needless to say, in order to keep him, the Pacers will definitely offer a big contract.

Whether it was his chaos on the court or under Lin Shaojie's command, Stephenson showed good strength.

The most important thing is that during the period when Paul George was in a downturn, Stephenson performed very well and was able to make up for the Pacers' shortcomings.

No matter what, Paul George will have to fight for this ability

Players who "wipe their own butts" have a little respect. Stephenson seemed very happy when he heard Paul George's words. Although everyone in the team knew that he was the younger brother of the first boss, no one could deny that the second boss

to his

"Love." This kind of popularity

The feeling of "pampering" and the possibility of the All-Star Game beckoning to him all made Stephenson feel like he was about to make a comeback. At least before Lin Shaojie came, he had not found such a position in the Pacers.

Twelve years ago, he was a pure substitute in the Pacers. He averaged only 10 minutes per game and scored only two or three points. He was easily ignored.

The change in fate came from the year before last. Under the leadership of the Chinese, although he was still a substitute, his average playing time increased to nearly thirty minutes. On many occasions, his playing time even far exceeded that of George Hill. His average playing time per game increased.

The score even reached level 10, and the title of Best Sixth Man has been called by the host on many occasions.

Stephenson likes this feeling! And this season, he not only set a new high in scoring, but also averaged 7 in rebounds per game. Stephenson knows very well that he is Lin Shaojie's younger brother, and the older brother will give him

Opportunity to grab defensive rebounds.

All Pacers players know that Lin Shaojie doesn't bother to grab defensive rebounds. That's a benefit for his younger brother. As long as you dare to play hard, you can get data.

In defense, Lin Shaojie will deal with the most uncomfortable player on the opposite side. The boss will even help you block the position and let you pick up rebounds.

Anyway, players with rich experience in the industry have never seen such a responsible boss. They follow him properly.

Eat "meat"! On the contrary, Hibbert is the idiot, who has the highest salary in the team, but is a bit lazy on the court. Sometimes his rebounding is not as good as him - Stephenson, the swingman!

The referee's whistle brought the Christmas game to an end. As a highly anticipated superstar, Lin Shaojie obviously had not yet relaxed. After washing up, he followed the head coach to attend the post-match press conference.

In the away locker room before arriving, Lin Shaojie and Frank received good news. George Hill was not a big problem and might need to rest for a day or two. He might be able to play when facing the Nets in the next game.

Yes, the Pacers and Nets play back-to-back home and away games with three days in between. After Christmas, the entire December game is about to come to an end.

George Hill just looked miserable. After all, he was unresponsive after falling to the ground. In fact, the skull protected the brain very well, but I don’t know if George Hill had any sequelae.

"I can't forgive Pierce for that foul, it was close to murder." Although Frank received good news after the game, George Hill recovered well. It seemed that he was seriously injured and only needed a rest to recover.

But the tragic scene when George Hill was fouled still stayed in Frank's mind. The seemingly healthy Pacers have begun to enter a period of high incidence of injuries. This situation will happen to every team before and after the All-Star Game.

Frank doesn't want the core starters in the team to suffer heavy losses. Today there is Pierce, and tomorrow there will be Pierre and He. There will always be people who constantly challenge your bottom line and cause you trouble.

Frank's firing had nothing to say to the reporters at the scene, and it was even possible that the league would impose additional punishment for it.

The Pacers are at their peak and the Nets are in trouble. The top management of the league will have to make a choice. Moreover, the Christmas war is over. If Frank doesn't take the opportunity to show off his power, players like Pierce will be punished.

"Execution ground," is really a shame for George Hill's concussion. Lin Shaojie expressed his hope for severe punishment. Everyone comes to the stadium to play ball and fight hard, not to die.

After all, this is not a battlefield. Pierce's flagrant foul obviously crossed the line and went far beyond the confrontation on the court.

Lin Shaojie even said lightly that if anyone dared to treat Pacers players like this, he would not be stingy with his counterattack.

The seemingly arrogant and domineering remarks were unanimously praised by reporters! On the other side, Deron and Kidd attended the press conference together. At the meeting, Deron bluntly stated that this game was like a nightmare.

No, to be precise, the Nets this season have been a nightmare. When reporters saw Deron's confidence, they were almost knocked out of his mind and quickly asked: "Deron, are you confident that you can turn things around?"

"No, it's not just me who doesn't have it, but the whole team doesn't have it. I don't see that kind of confidence in any player, including me!" After saying that, Deron almost didn't dare to look at Kidd's face.

Speaking to himself: "The difference between our goal at the beginning of the season and our current record is too big. Without Lopez, we want to go head-to-head with the Pacers who have super players.

It's completely unfeasible. I'm very disappointed. Our age group is very unreasonable. Not to mention facing the Pacers, even against some other weak teams, our performance was so unbearable. I don't even know what we are doing on the court.

What..." Deron's near-collapse performance made all Kidd's subsequent words empty talk, and he could only continue on.

"Yes, some of our players are used to losing, and some veterans don't have the passion to fight. They prefer to rest on their past achievements..." In the locker room, he was comforting his teammates.

When Garnett heard this, he was furious.

"Shit, although we are losing, we just haven't found a path that suits us. We currently lack our own characteristics and positioning. We have lost so many games that we shouldn't lose. What we need is inspiration and victory.

Rather than shirk responsibility." After saying that, Garnett pointed to Kidd on the screen in the locker room.

"I'm not a guy who is used to losing. We just went through a difficult time. Do you want to get used to losing?" Some players responded, while others were silent.

The Nets moved to Brooklyn, which is a big city and a big ball market. It is a supreme honor for the players to play here.

Some people do it for salary, and some do it for reputation. But just like the tragedy of the big football market, there are very few players who can do whatever it takes to win.

The Knicks are like this, and the current Nets are no exception. There are so many players in big markets who earn high salaries but perform poorly!

The Nets also seemed to be trapped in this curse! After attending the press conference, Lin Shaojie received a call from Larry Bird.

"Big Bird" has been informed in advance that Pierce will be suspended for an additional game due to the flagrant foul in this game.

This is undoubtedly good news for the Pacers, who will return home to face the Nets three days later. Although the elderly Pierce can only rely on strength and experience to defend, players like him who get better and better as they get older will not be able to defend in regular time.

He can score more than ten points, and he is merciless at critical moments. He is no weaker than Scola in offense. Of course, the Pacers hope that their opponents will be weaker.

With Pierce unable to play, it would undoubtedly be much easier to deal with the Nets at this time. After hanging up the phone, Su Zhen, who was with Lin Shaojie, looked at Lin Shaojie in a daze.

The bustling night view of New York is self-evident. It is a world-class metropolis. On the occasion of this Christmas, the bustling city center will let you experience the most beautiful side.

Prosperity and splendor! Walking in the streets and squares, the Christmas trees I see from time to time remind Lin Shaojie of what he saw in middle school.

The scene in "Home Alone". But thinking about the meaning revealed in Larry Bird's words, he was a little worried.

As Stephenson's performance gets better and better, the feeling of performing at an outstanding level during the contract year and fighting for a big contract has made Stephenson the Pacers' most popular player, especially Paul George.

In those few bad games, Stephenson's market was optimistic.

If they want to keep him, the Pacers must pay a price, but for a small team and a Pacers team that focuses on thrift, how much money is appropriate to spend on Stephenson is a very troublesome matter.

"I feel like you're a little unhappy?" Su Zhen looked at Lin Shaojie and said suddenly.

"No, I'm just worried!" Lin Shaojie stroked Su Zhen's hair.

"Granger left, and he freed up nearly 14 million in salary space for us, but Stephens' performance allowed him to get at least a salary of more than 10 million, and the Pacers have always been

They are budget-conscious and unwilling to pay the luxury tax. Judging from the current situation, the Pacers can only offer an annual salary of 8 million or 9 million at most. Based on my understanding of Larry Bird, he does not

It may be more, but for Stephenson, he is eager for a big contract. With his current performance, it is difficult to retain him without 10 million." Su Zhen knows that Stephenson's current salary is less than 100 million.

Wan, if it were not for the Chinese contract that his boyfriend helped him bring, Stephenson's life would not be very satisfactory. Some time ago, he was able to buy a sports car, which was from China.

"Gifts." Everything makes Stephenson full of expectations for the second contract in his life.

Even for most American basketball players, except for those in the lottery, most of them want to make a comeback, which may come from their second professional contract. That is the moment when their value is reflected.

As a second-round pick, Stephenson can now be the best sixth man in a team like the Pacers, which is definitely an inspirational example.

Everything is just a struggle for a bright future.

"Maybe Stephenson will accept Larry Bird's offer?" Su Zhen said hopefully. She knew that her boyfriend liked the current atmosphere in the team, and it was not easy to at least get along to this extent.

"That's what I'm worried about. Although Larry Bird was very kind to me, it can be seen from the matter of sending Granger away. After all, he is a high-level executive, and he only cares more about interests. I

What I’m worried about is that he might not even be willing to pay for it.” Although

From a salary of less than one million to eight or nine million, it is already an increase of eight or nine times. At least in the normal salary system, it is difficult to achieve, but it is very common in the basketball world, especially in the contract year.

worth, and then there are too many people who fish in troubled waters without working hard.

Some people dare to bet, and some people dare not bet. No one knows whether this is Stephenson's normal behavior, or whether he is trying his best to win a big contract for the future.

Off the court, Stephenson is a little restless and too out-of-the-box. Everyone knows this. For a player with such a personality, it is really difficult for you to judge where his upper limit is, but their lower limit may come at any time.

Fortunately, Stephenson still listens to Lin Shaojie's words on the court, but that's all! You can decide other people's careers, but you can't decide other people's lives.

Christmas Eve in New York was beautiful. Putting aside the uneasiness in their minds, the two of them moved into the apartment they had already rented, an apartment full of Christmas style.

On the way back, we bought some food from Chinatown, and the two of us had a sweet candlelight dinner. After the meal, the two of us watched a movie together.

"Home Alone." Su Zhen snuggled in Lin Shaojie's arms and quickly fell asleep. The game lasted more than two hours, plus shopping at night, and Su Zhen was finally carried to bed by Lin Shaojie.

...The three Christmas games have come to an end one after another. In Lin Shaojie’s impression, the Knicks participated the most in the Christmas games, followed by the Lakers.

This is worthy of the confidence of the two giants in the East and West and the big football market. But this year's Christmas war is not a good memory for the giants in the East and West.

Kobe, who was on the sidelines, could only watch the Lakers lose to the Heat at home, allowing the Heat to win six consecutive away games while the Lakers suffered three consecutive losses.

But the victorious Heat were not the big winner of this game. Nick Young caused consecutive fouls on LeBron, causing the opponent to foul.

The "little emperor" was humiliated. If it weren't for Ray Allen hitting three-pointers one after another in this game, it would be really difficult for the Heat to defeat the Lakers.

Ray Allen's 12 points were very crucial, and the score of 101 to 95 said everything. Although Nick Young's shooting percentage was not high, his 20 points were the highest in the team, and he almost defeated the Heat.

The game between the Thunder and the Knicks was a bit boring. The Knicks, who had lost three consecutive games at home, lost to the Thunder, which was tied for first in the Western Conference. The score was 123 to 94, giving the Thunder a 29-point lead.

Durant scored four three-pointers and scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Yin Baka also scored 24 points, and Westbrook scored his first triple-double of the season.

14 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists! The Knicks, without Anthony, only relied on the return of Stoudemire to score a team-high 22 points, but

The "Little Bully" only recorded 2 rebounds, which was not as good as Hardaway Jr.'s 21 points and 5 rebounds. Jr. Smith's statistics were good, with 20 points and 6 rebounds.

But without Anthony, the decisive player, the Knicks, who lost to their opponents at home, had nothing to say.

The game entered the Thunder's rhythm from the beginning, and it was not until the third quarter that the Thunder instantly widened the point difference between the two sides.

Madison Square Garden booed at that moment. The huge score difference in the end also showed the strength gap between the two sides.

As for the most anticipated battle between the Pacers and the Nets, at a certain period of time, the score was alternating, which was very interesting, but looking at the whole game, it seemed that everything was in the hands of the Pacers.

In summary after the game, the biggest highlight came from Pierce's foul. From that moment on, the balance of victory completely tilted towards the Pacers.

In the three games, the Pacers and Nets were the shining stars, but unfortunately, it is still a matter of foundation. Even if the Pacers are ranked first in the league and have a 100% winning rate, it will not help. Many people still only look at them.

Locked in the Knicks and Lakers.

When the media commented on these three games, they had to focus on the Pacers.

In this series of games, the only player who can stand out is Durant of the Thunder. But comparing these two bug-level players in the league, Durant cannot compare with Lin Shaojie in terms of scoring efficiency and organizational efficiency.

This is also natural and journalists cannot deny it.

The most important thing is that Lin Shaojie's ability to break double teams is obviously better than Durant's, so when bragging about one of his own, reporters still have to worry about some face, so let's take a look at the summary of the Christmas game.

"Lynn Cowhide" has become the choice of more people. The Rockets, who originally thought about having the opportunity to participate in the Christmas war, could only watch these opponents walk on the big stage one by one.

Ask Howard if he regrets leaving the Lakers. He must have some. After all, he has no regrets about leaving the Lakers.

As far as "Warcraft" is concerned, if it can stay in a big city like Los Angeles, it will definitely enjoy more attention than Houston.

What made him feel uncomfortable was that on Christmas Eve in Texas

In the "same city" battle, they lost to their old rival the Mavericks, 104 to 111. They led by 11 points in the first half, but were led by the Mavericks 15 to 1 in the third quarter.

Although Warcraft scored 29 points and 15 rebounds after the game, it was still defeated by the Mavericks.

It was just a joke originally

"Harden was injured". Unexpectedly, Harden was actually unable to play due to injury in the end, so he lost to the Mavericks in the senior team. Howard was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Howard, who has outstanding scoring and rebounding data, did not receive praise from the media. In the post-game statistics table, Howard was completely picked up. When playing in low singles,

"Warcraft"'s shooting rate is only 38%, but when there is a pick-and-roll, it is 70%.

It can be seen that Howard without the pick-and-roll is an inefficient player. Howard, who seems to be strong, is actually a foreign gun.

In an era when the league lacks low-post killers, Howard's inaction does not seem to be a big problem. After all, the league's current zone defense rules have made low-post scoring inefficient.

But looking at another statistic, as a defender of the Pacers and a serious point guard, Lin Shaojie's shooting percentage in the low post was over 80%, which embarrassed the forward players.

In this league, low-post singles are not encouraged and everyone is expected to move to the outside and play more beautifully. Lin Shaojie's excellent low-post skills made Howard's face look dull!

Not to mention that they lost the game, but the Pacers won the Christmas game and received the most attention.

Look at the praises on Twitter. Howard has been pulled out and whipped to death quite a few times. So on Christmas Eve, Howard was not necessarily in a good mood and could only follow the crowd and send a Christmas greeting.

What was even more uncomfortable than Howard was Pierce. He didn't know what kind of nerves he had in the Christmas game, and he was sent off for a while.

Not only that, but the league added an extra game the next day. As for the fine of $15,000, it was nothing.

After being ejected, he has not yet been interviewed by reporters. After losing to the Pacers, the Nets have once again suffered a losing streak.

In the team training match the next day, Pierce had to admit the mistakes he made, but now, it doesn't help. He still won't be able to play in the next game. For a team like the Nets, without him

This is probably a bit of a pity.

Everyone knows that Kidd attaches great importance to him and respects him enough. Garnett knows that Lin Shaojie is still in the Big Apple, and the footage of him and his girlfriend being secretly photographed in Times Square last night also made the news.

I originally wanted to be a peacemaker and ask the other party to get together, but Lin Shaojie rejected this proposal, and the reason he gave was very reasonable.

The intensive competition meant that Lin Shaojie and Su Zhen had fewer opportunities to be together, let alone this Christmas trip. They just wanted to spend their time quietly without being disturbed.

Garnett had no choice but to hang up the phone and waved his hand, reluctantly giving up. Pierce also had to give up this opportunity.

Whether it was intentional or not, the matter has passed and it is useless to say more. Treating guests to dinner is just to show an attitude. He is not afraid of the other party.

But looking at the discord between Garnett and Kidd, Pierce himself had a headache. Discord between generals was a big taboo. We were all once super giants, and now they met and became masters and apprentices.

I know what it will be like next time I go to Indiana.

Pierce was even a little lucky that he didn't have to face the Pacers. After all, it was not easy for them to fight against the Pacers!

My basketball vision is different
