My basketball vision is different

Lin Shaojie, who was resting, didn't take it seriously. Looking at Anthony who was replenishing water not far away, Lin Shaojie shook his head.

"How much longer do you think he can fight?"

When Paul George heard this, he also took a drink of water and asked.

"Two sections?"

"No, if we keep fighting like this, we can only take one round at most."

Lin Shaojie replied affirmatively, although the Knicks appear to be very strong on paper, especially "highly anticipated" players such as Kenyon Martin and Stoudemire can only sit off the court as substitutes.

There is also Jr. Smith who is far better than Stephenson. Unfortunately, Jr.'s injury is not completely healed and he is still sitting on the sidelines as a substitute.

From the bottom of his heart, the strength of these people was unmatched a few years ago, but Lin Shaojie was not optimistic about those "old soldiers!"

The Little Giants have retired. How can Stoudemire, his old rival, be any better? He spent most of his time in the Knicks recuperating from his injuries. Lin Shaojie is not a fledgling brother, and he is very aware of how fierce the competition here is.

Just like a player like Stoudemire, after recovering from his injury, he can only play ten or twenty minutes at most. What use is this?

Maybe some of my playing time is similar to that of Stoudemire, but the nature is completely different.

Apple City had no choice but to make this move, and Lin Shaojie had to defeat his opponent before he could sit down and rest in peace.

Seemingly the same scene, but completely different in nature.

Besides, the person involved, Anthony, has been in the league for many years, and his dynamic talent has begun to decline. If it weren't for his comprehensive skills, he might not even be able to fight against the Pacers.

LeBron, who is more talented, can't get any favors from the Pacers. How much strength did Anthony have to put in to get those 19 points?

Even if he was allowed to play the entire first half, the score would be less than 30 points, but how much more could the other players put together.

This is not fundamentally different from the Kings in the last round. The King, Cousins ​​​​can get some points, and the Knicks, Anthony, can get some points at this time. The others can only have the fate of accompanying the prince to study.

After all calculations, the Mets team is bound to lose, there is no doubt about it.

As the head coach, Mike Woodson also noticed it and made adjustments in the second quarter, sending in Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin.

Although Kenyon Martin is old, his temper does not look very good and he is quite arrogant when he plays.

That look of contempt cannot be faked.

If people like Hibbert have bad personalities and players like Cousins ​​have low emotional intelligence, then Kenyon Martin almost has both.

I don’t know if this kind of courage was given to him by Kidd. Anyway, as a "rough guy" and a "cake catcher," Kenyon Martin's physical talent is self-evident, but his peak period was extremely short, and now he has fallen into decline.

Arriving in New York didn't look like a very good outcome.

What’s even more unexpected is that Kenyon Martin, who just came on the field, wanted to prove that he was still honest and capable of fighting, but the facts gave him a severe blow.

When Martin was fighting for a defensive rebound, he fell to the ground. When he got the rebound, there was no one around him, so he fell to the ground in a daze.

This accident left everyone unprepared. From the time Martin came on the field to when he was lying on the ground, it only lasted four minutes.

As New York's head coach, Mr. "Block" Mike Woodson had to make substitutions in a hurry.

Stoudemire was very sad when he witnessed all this. He is also an old glass person and would hate to see such a scene, but after all, he is still relatively conservative.

From the moment he joined the team, he was treated as the "only one" for New York, a strong team on paper, second only to Anthony.

But the fact is that Anthony can still hold on, but his reputation as the "little bully" has really faded.

Intermittent injuries have left him with almost no full playing time, and his rapid decline has become a time bomb for New York's forward line. No one knows in which game he will be injured.

Fortunately, New York has this

After making some preparations and introducing some substitutes, the Knicks' lineup looks full of depth and thickness.

Now Martin has fallen, but it doesn't matter. There are others who can make up for it. He, Stoudemire, must not fall. It's not that there is no one. There are also people, but it will hurt morale too much.

Stoudemire performed pretty well after coming out in the first half, and he still had a lot of power, helping the team to more or less score 4 points. The Pacers players didn't put much pressure on him.

After the halftime break, the Pacers' No. 13 came back on the court, and everything began to change.

Stoudemire didn't know what the Pacers said in the locker room. He only knew one thing: the Pacers were speeding up like crazy under the command of Lin Shaojie.

It was very much like the sun he once lived in, the one with the "Son of the Wind".

That period is worth remembering. It was the peak of "Little Bully". He was one of the players who flew in the air and played ball.

Now, watching Paul George dunk straight up and down under such circumstances, Stoudemire suddenly saw his lost youth, which can never be recovered.

Can the Pacers change tactics so quickly?

If you say speed up, speed up, aren't you afraid that your teammates won't be able to adapt?

But the Pacers are so safe, speed is speed, and rules are rules.

Watching the Pacers' No. 13 take an easy shot under the double-team of Felton and Shumpert, the basketball fell to the wing. Paul George dodged and faced the basket and dunked.

Stoudemire watched all this helplessly, blocked by West.

The Pacers' lineup is really too luxurious. Even an old guy like West is still in his prime. He is obviously 2 years younger, but he is plagued by illness and can't grab a position. This undoubtedly makes him

Stoudemire felt hurt.

Rumor has it that West got an annual salary of tens of millions with the help of Lin Shaojie. He is really a good boss.

West himself had never imagined that the former "little bully" had declined so drastically and that he was actually somewhat powerless under his own defense. What a decline it would take.

He obviously has the ability to average more than ten points per game, but why can't he get a position on the court?

When Lin Shaojie was holding the ball, he found that Stoudemire was unable to grab the position in the competition with West. Paul George's impact on the inside was like a violent storm.

The Knicks' Anthony was very intimidating in the offense, but Paul George was no less impressive in the second half. Seeing this, Lin Shaojie even sent out second passes one after another.

Coupled with West's footsteps in the paint, the Pacers took the lead in the third quarter.

"Flying Pig" Barkley, who was sitting in front of the commentary table, exclaimed repeatedly when he saw the Pacers surpassing the Knicks.

"The Knicks are finished. They lost their away advantage in the third quarter. What awaits them is definitely not a good result."

Smith, who was sitting next to Barkley, also nodded.

"Indeed, it is very difficult to win at Conseco Arena. No team wants to do it. What is even more difficult is that in this game, the Pacers took the lead for the first time."

Everyone knows that allowing the lagging Pacers to take the lead will be a disaster for the opponent.

The offensive became more and more intense, and Stoudemire felt like a small boat in the storm, drifting.

It’s okay for West to bully him, but Paul George also regards himself as nothing. When he was dominating on the court, he, the “second in command” of the Pacers, was still hanging around on campus!

Stoudemire wants to prove that he is still the "little bully!"

But just when he pushed West away and wanted to give Paul George a hard blow, Paul George's dunk came suddenly.

The so-called "Second Boss" bullied him as an "old man," a frail old man. Even Paul George himself did not expect that Stoudemire, who was being dunked by him, would take two steps back and yell,

Then he collapsed to the ground.

"ah!"

It was a familiar scene, almost in the same position, Stoudemire fell to Kenyon Martin's position.

The noisy sound echoed through Conseco Arena at that moment, and a group of Knicks gangsters looked at Stoudemire who was sitting on the ground unable to get up.

Although this was a normal collision, and the referee also awarded Stoudemire a foul, and "Pickled Pepper" got a 21 chance, it was a bit unjustifiable morally!

Frank called a timeout urgently to ease the situation on the court. No one thought that after the Knicks lost a player, the "core" forward would be injured again. Could it be that the Knicks are under a curse?

In the slow-motion replay, Paul George was very well-behaved. After receiving Lin Shaojie's pass, he made a dunk with explosive talent. Stoudemire himself was a little "overestimating his ability" to meet him. He can't blame others for this.

And it can be seen from his movements that he had an obvious pushing action. If "Pickle" hadn't grabbed the basket, no one would have been injured.

There is nothing wrong with the referee's decision.

But......

Woodson didn't know if he was having a bad time, but that was Stoudemire!

After finally recovering from injury, how long have you been playing now and are you going to go down again?

Judging from the way the team doctor shook his head before leaving the field, it didn't end well.

The Knicks may be at a "pill" pace this season.

Anthony wanted to encourage his teammates during the timeout, but after coming on the court, when he saw that the defender in front of him was replaced by Lin Shaojie, Anthony spat.

"Brother Gua" knows very well that in terms of strength, he can crush Paul George, but it is not enough to compare with a "power beast" like Lin Shaojie. The most important thing is that both of them have very good low-post skills.

Strong and solid on his feet.

Under such circumstances, "Brother Melon" can only be the fate of "Melon".

Sure enough, everyone could see that in this game, Lin Shaojie became the Pacers' defensive leader in the second half of the third quarter, focusing on Anthony.

The Pacers' No. 13 turned off his shooting button and transformed into a "blue-collar" worker.

Paul George went all out and attacked the city.

By the end of the third quarter, everyone could see that Anthony, under the care of Lin Shaojie, only got a lucky mid-range shot.

Just 2 points!

This is the record of the second half of the match between the two sides. Lin Shaojie himself had 5 assists. It is clear at a glance who is stronger!

As for the other Knicks players, I'm sorry, they had a hard time scoring in front of the Pacers' defense.

Relying on a 36-17 score in the third quarter, the Pacers won by 19 points in a single quarter, with a total score of 75-60, leading by 15 points.

In the last quarter, under the arrangement of coach Woodson, Anthony did not play at all.

The Knicks surrendered much faster than fans expected, without any determination at all.

Frank also replaced Lin Shaojie and Paul George with a wink. Perhaps it was because the Knicks lost two generals. The players who came on the bench also played with each other tacitly. Jr. Smith was just fishing on the court, purely.

Just do it half-heartedly and wait until the game is over.

96 to 82.

The Knicks lost to their opponent on the road by 14 points, which was considered a huge loss to the opponent.

In the eyes of the media and fans, the Knicks are still too miserable.

They already had poor results and lost two generals. In this round of competition, no one suffered worse than them.

In the news interview after the game, Anthony didn't even say anything harsh. He just hugged Lin Shaojie and Paul George as usual, said a few words and left the court.

This is the 38th consecutive victory that the Pacers have won. The glory belongs to the Pacers, and the tears are taken away by the Knicks.

"Do you think Anthony will be sad?"

In the locker room, Paul George was still excited. Although his idol was not Anthony, in the fierce battle with Anthony, he actually fought back and forth. This is already a legend.

Great progress.

Everyone knows that Anthony's skills are very comprehensive, very good, and his coordination is very good. He is one of the few black forward superstars who can play such a beautiful offense.

If it weren't for his laziness on defense, Anthony would never have achieved more than what he has achieved so far.

"Why is he sad?"

Lin Shaojie responded that although when facing reporters, Anthony said that the Knicks would work hard to win and enter the playoffs.

But from a practical point of view, everyone, including Anthony and even the entire Knicks team, is ignoring the team's record. The Knicks are just like those bad teams that are in a bad situation, drifting with the tide.

Anthony's spirit is not even as good as LeBron's.

Well, if he has the momentum of LeBron, the league will definitely support him. The slogans of "Brother Melo" and "Brother Melo" are all deceiving people.

After successfully sending away the Knicks, the whole Pacers team was not very excited. The opponent was too bad and injuries occurred, so it was somewhat difficult to win. The next opponent was the Pacers' problem.

Isn’t it just 38 wins? If you look at it with a normal mind, it’s not a big deal, it’s all numb!

Just as the entire team was waiting to welcome the Clippers, the "Chicago Sun-Times" broke the news that the Bulls had entered a rebuilding phase and would officially enter a rebuilding phase this summer.

The key to their reconstruction is that they want to acquire the Pacers' backcourt general Lance Stephenson.

Rose came back this season, and his goal at the beginning of the season was the championship. However, after ten games, it was short-lived. Rose was seriously injured. The Bulls once again fell into sinking, and the championship plan was cancelled.

Even as the leader of Bulls fans, he joked when he met with the Pacers that he wanted to see the Bulls win the championship again, but he was afraid that it would not be possible during his tenure.

The Pacers players responded with a smile, saying that if the leader could become their fan, then they would get their wish.

Of course these are all jokes!

Previously, the Bulls had already sent away Luol Deng and Bynum to free up salary space.

In this way...

Everyone knows that there are many big fish among the free agents this summer, mainly LeBron and Anthony, but not many can help Rose. On the contrary, the young Stephenson is very cost-effective, even if he is given tens of millions

The annual salary is not spared. The most important thing is that Stephenson is the sixth man in the Pacers and his efficiency is very high.

After this season, Stephenson becomes a restricted free agent, with an annual salary of 980,000, and he can also serve as a substitute for the boss on the bench... No matter how you look at it, he is a good player and good business.

When he saw the news, Stephenson himself was stunned. During the training match against the Clippers, Stephenson was teased by his teammates. Everyone just wanted to know whether the news was true or not, and whether the other party had secretly contacted Stephenson.

.

"Please, you have to believe in my professional ethics. I have never been exposed to it."

After Stephenson finished speaking, his teammates were greeted with a middle finger and the damn "Nico."

Lao Hei teased that Lao Hei was fine but others were not.

Frank stood in the distance and whispered to Lin Shaojie, who was dribbling the ball next to him: "Will he leave?"

"Normally not, but if we can't match the contract, it might be a problem."

Lin Shaojie answered with two minds.

When ordinary players dribble, in order to maintain the feel and increase the difficulty, they usually have two basketballs in their hands, but Lin Shaojie has three balls in front of him at the same time, his left hand is playing steadily, and his right hand is controlling the other two basketballs in front of and behind him, just like

It's like juggling.

After a while, switch hands and continue.

The steady "basic" dribbling movements are hard to fault. Such dribbling is extremely difficult for professional players.

Lin Shaojie knew very well how much Stephenson looked forward to his "tens of millions of annual salary." In fact, as a second-round pick, Stephenson's salary was too little.

His current scoring average is enough to support him in getting an annual salary of more than seven to eight million, plus a championship.

As a military player, add another one million.

Coupled with the longest winning streak in the history of the NBA, it’s not too much to add another million, right?

But can Larry Bird really match it?

Outsiders don't know, but Lin Shaojie knows that in the eyes of "Big Bird", Stephenson, who has excellent statistics and high efficiency, is not as outstanding and important as outsiders see.

After all, data can be falsified. In the eyes of Larry Bird, Stephenson's playing time is very clever. Even if it is just a substitute period, Stephenson's living environment is good regardless of whether the Pacers are leading on the court or not.

The strongest players will always be taken care of by Lin Shaojie or Paul George. Even during the rotation, under the default rules, those strongest opponents will be dismissed, leaving Stephenson with a very good living environment.

This is also the reason why players such as him and Gobert can develop and grow smoothly. Larry Bird has this in mind.

If Lance had a hint and lowered his salary requirements, Lin Shaojie was sure that "Big Bird" would offer him a decent contract.

But according to the current data, no matter how hard it is to match a salary of close to 10 million, even this may not satisfy Stephenson.

No matter how good the boss is, if he cannot bring in income, the younger brother will rebel.

In the eyes of many players of the Pacers, based on the data obtained by Stephenson, Lin Shaojie's request for an annual salary of tens of millions for his younger brother is just a casual one. Just look at David West and you will know that he can do it at such an age.

After getting more than 10 million, who wouldn’t want a contract that lasts forever with the Pacers?

Everyone wants it!

Lin Shaojie looked at Stephenson who was being teased in the crowd. He could see that Stephenson was already being paid "tens of millions" in the team. At least in training, the Pacers staff around him were no better than George Hill.

Equal difference.

This is the default treatment improvement, which is far better than that of Gobert and others.

The "Big Birds" need Stephenson's efforts at this time. They will soon face the powerful team in the Western Conference-the Clippers.
