My basketball vision is different

Brian Xiao slowly turned off the TV and looked at the coach and players sitting opposite.

"How is it? How do you feel after watching the game?"

Tomorrow, they will face the opponent on TV at the Pepsi Center at home, the powerful team from the East - the Pacers.

This is the team where the coach stayed last season, and it was precisely because of his successful experience with the Pacers that Brian Shaw successfully got the position of Nuggets coach.

But this offseason, in addition to changing coaches, the Nuggets also traded away Iguodala, the core of the team.

As a result, this powerful team in the Western Conference is actually behind in the fight for eighth place in the Western Conference.

They are also the team with the most severe decline in strength in the league this season, and last season's boast of "winning without a star" has become a thing of the past.

In response to Brian Shaw's question, the Nuggets soldiers' hearts were filled with thoughts.

"Lynn is very strong!"

Yes, they are all professionals. There are no outsiders, no reporters, and no cameras.

I watched the game and looked at that player's statistics.

17 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds, 10 steals, 5 blocks...

Among the Pacers' 25 assists, that guy alone accounted for nearly 60%.

Tangible data, against the backdrop of invisible time, shows that No. 13 is playing a role on the court all the time.

In comparison, the entire Kings team only received 13 assists, most of which were obtained when that person was not on the court.

"This is the first time we have met the Pacers this season, and we have lost two games in a row. No one will believe that we can beat such a strong team."

Brian Shaw did not hesitate to expose his shortcomings.

"But from what I know about Lynn, as you can see, this is not so much the Pacers as this is Lynn's team.

I can tell you for sure that this guy is much more capable than you see or imagine."

As he spoke, Brian Xiao also imitated Lin Shaojie's classic gestures, stretched out his index and middle fingers to point at his eyes and praised.

"That's what I saw with the Pacers last season. His performance almost overturned my previous surprises. He is a truly standard hexagonal warrior. Based on my many years of experience, no one can compare with him in terms of dynamic talent.

He's better."

"What about Jordan?"

Chandler asked in disbelief from his seat.

"A very good question, but I can't answer you. Maybe my answer is the best answer."

Brian's words surprised all the players. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be "not as good as Jordan"

Huh? In this case, even Brian himself is not sure, then Lynn's talent is really incredible.

"How strong Lynn is, many of you have already encountered him last season, but it was only his first season, faster, better, stronger. I hope you will not ignore him because of the color of his skin, nor will

I hope you will be afraid of him because of my words. No matter what, Lin En is a human being, not a god."

As he spoke, Brian pointed at everyone.

"I'm telling you this just because I want to find a way to defeat the Pacers. You don't know, but one thing I know very well is this.

This guy has a very strong ability to assimilate on the court, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

As long as you have struggled with him on the court, for at least a month, you will be overwhelmed by his charm on the court. Whether it is in a formal game or in private training, he has this ability.

How can I put it, he seems to be able to see into people's hearts and always allows you to catch the ball in the most comfortable way, as if you know what you are going to do the moment you receive the pass.

Whether to shoot or dunk, the moment the basketball falls into the palm of your hand, it is already decided."

Brian Shaw's words surprised most people.

"You think I'm kidding, Shinhwa Lynn?"

Brian Xiao said disdainfully.

"Perhaps what I said is the most superficial. In fact, during the time I was with him, including me, Frank and others, we would do a lot of tactical drills and arrangements, but on the court, it only lasted ten minutes at most.

Even during a game, as long as Linn is on the court, the rest of the game will fall into his rhythm.

Looking at the Pacers' winning streak this season, I wouldn't be surprised at all, if Frank hadn't been forced to rotate for the physical and mental considerations of the players. I'm sure this winning streak will continue, as long as you give Lynn a chance

, he can catch you up even if you are twenty points behind.

You know, you guys, when I was training, I saw him only miss one shot in an hour of shooting training, and it was not the kind of robot-like shooting you imagined. He would do it on the court.

Random shooting, there are very formal, standard shots, there are also acrobatic shots, very casual.

Don't doubt his shooting percentage. As the player with the highest efficiency in the league, he can shoot more basketballs than you even with one hand."

Brian Shaw's words were a bit fierce.

"So do you know what we should do in tomorrow's game?"

The players were silent.

"Just guard against that guy. If one person doesn't work, just use two people. If two people don't work, just use three people. Don't worry about the rest. Don't care about Paul George, don't care about West or Hibbert. They have adapted to Lynn

To create a comfort zone for them, you only need to do one thing, which is to double-team like crazy.

This is our home court, and the referees will also help us. As long as you don't foul foul, some slight touches are nothing.

As long as you limit the Pacers' No. 13, we will win."

Chandler among the players once again raised his hand weakly.

"Mr. Coach, do I need it too?"

"Of course, as long as Lin dares to go deep into the three-point line, you will deal with him severely, even if you commit a foul, don't let him dunk on your head!"

Chandler nodded blankly: Do you really have to be so cruel?

"You think I'm too cruel to Lynn?"

Brian Xiao looked at Chandler and then at the others.

"Hi, guys, don't care about other people. I made it very clear. As long as that guy is on the court, you have to double-team like crazy. He is Frank's confidant. I know Lynn and I know Frank."

, what really prevents them from winning is not us, but Frank's love for Lynn, do you understand?

We want everyone on the opposite side to know that if the Pacers send Lynn again, we will keep No. 13 on the court until the end of the game, do you understand?"

At this time, everyone in the Nuggets understood Brian Shaw's tactics.

"Cut "Lynn" strategy?"

When others left the conference room one after another, Brian Xiao sat alone in the office.

What he recalls in his mind are all the glorious moments of last season, but unfortunately, he is not eligible to go to the White House this season.

When I think of the sweet moments last season, I think of that Chinese guy.

"I'm very sorry, Lynn, I have to do this in order to win."

This is Brian Shaw's first season in charge of the team on the first line, but life is not easy for the Nuggets. When the Western Conference's powerful players are reduced to fighting for a playoff spot, his coaching career seems to be in jeopardy.

Maybe everything will turn around after defeating the Pacers. After all, so far this season, only two teams have defeated the Pacers. If the Nuggets can be the third team, it will make Brian Shaw look good.

a lot of.

After all, everyone knows that he came from the Pacers.

The person who understands his opponent best is not the enemy, but one of his own. Brian Shaw is such a "one of his own!"

When all the Pacers landed in Denver in the evening and began to adapt in advance, Brian Shaw also appeared in front of the visiting team, and the coach took the initiative to invite several members of the Pacers to the banquet.

Looking at those familiar faces, a feeling that things are different and people are different came to everyone's mind.

During the gathering, Paul George and Hibbert were happy. Lin Shaojie didn't talk much on the court. The gathering was brief but enthusiastic.

I was a little bit sad when we parted.

After tonight, when we meet again tomorrow, we will be enemies.

Brian Shaw knows it, Frank knows it, or everyone knows it.

No one talked about basketball, only things off the court.

For example: the first child of Paul George and his beautiful wife;

For example: In the game the Pacers lost against the Clippers, Paul George didn't perform well against Rivers. Did he feel guilty?

A scumbag man had sex with his fiancée outside when she was pregnant, and was caught doing it on the spot...

At the dinner, Paul George became the focus of everyone's discussion. After all, he is a veteran of wandering around flowers. Now that he has a child, he is starting to calm down.

As a former assistant coach and good friend, Brian Shaw's words are even more useful than Frank's.

Lin Shaojie could feel that Brian Xiao had a "fatherly" temperament at this time, just like other middle-aged black men.

Although most of them are a little irresponsible, when I see the younger generation, I still hope that they can be more responsible.

As for how to face Lin Shaojie, Brian Xiao had everything to do with the wine. Lin Shaojie clinked glasses with Brian while holding a drink. Everyone was not surprised.

No one could force Linn to drink, which they had seen in such a long time.

After the banquet ended and Lin Shaojie returned to the hotel with others, Frank suddenly reminded Lin Shaojie before going upstairs.

"Lynn, be careful tomorrow."

"certainly!"

Lin Shaojie responded with a smile.

"I don't want you to get hurt, and I won't give you too much time..."

"clear!"

After receiving Lin Shaojie's response, Frank waved his hand and went upstairs first.

Lin Shaojie, who had been sitting downstairs for a while, looked at the cars coming and going outside the hotel. There was not much difference in the city under the neon lights. In some years, the hotel had become more popular due to the arrival of walkers. Unfortunately, the security was still very poor.

Responsibly, reporters who wanted to sneak in and take pictures were blocked.

Those people didn't know that the person they wanted to interview would be sitting downstairs relaxing in public, just around the corner from them.

The time we spent together with Brian Xiao was not long, and Lin Shaojie responded with a smile even when they were laughing. Those jokes that only belonged to Lao Hei did not resonate with Lin Shaojie.

The trivial things that seem to those people to be nothing are almost unforgivable to Lin Shaojie, just like the love life of "pickled peppers".

But behind the scenes of laughing with others, Brian's expectations and attention for Lin Shaojie, but he had to resort to such measures, made Lin Shaojie "see" clearly.

This is NBA, this is basketball!

For the sake of their careers, players will work hard to stay on the court;

Standing on the court, I hope I can stabilize my position and strive to become the core;

Those who are already core will make themselves superstars. As for those superstars, they also hope to become super giants and superstars.

One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!

The same is true for the uniform team. Every coach has a coaching staff. It is not easy for a coach to hold the power of life and death for players. There are people everywhere, and there is also the necessary technical and tactical level.

Looking at the NBA, people like Popovich are rare.

Even Frank is considered to be very cautious in the Pacers. The kind of uncertain future will force you to try every means, otherwise you will be eliminated.

Brian Shaw?

His life is not easy. The arrival of the Pacers may not change his results this season, but it will make his resume look much better.

After a while, Lin Shaojie came on stage shaking his head.

He said that he would be the last one standing on the court, but this also had a prerequisite, that is, the team coach did not replace him.

The next day at the Pepsi Center, Brian Shaw, who had just gathered together last night, received a warm welcome from the fans when he came out. It seemed that the fans were welcoming the arrival of the championship coach.

They have forgotten who was sitting on the sidelines shouting "Bryan out" before the halfway mark of the season.

After all, the Nuggets' performance this season is really poor, and that kind of decline is unacceptable to fans.

It's as incredible as Pacers fans watching their team compete for the playoffs one day.

But at this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten everything that had happened before. They watched with their own eyes the Pacers' starting players and Brian Xiao chatting about their mentor-disciple relationship, and the media were not stingy with their shutters.

The fans felt proud and applauded.

Soon, after the warm-up and greetings, the two sides officially entered the competition.

The Pacers are playing a familiar five-man group, while the Nuggets are Lawson, Foye, Hickson, Faried and Chandler.

The Nuggets started very strongly. After grabbing the ball, Chandler suddenly started from outside the three-point line and hit this three-pointer.

Looking back, after Hibbert's inside shot missed, Chandler and Fareed completed the aerial connection one after another and hit two dunks.

The Nuggets caught the Pacers off guard in less than two minutes and took a 7-0 lead.

Fortunately, Lin Shaojie reacted in time and quickly made a successful hit under the double team, giving the opponent a powerful goal.

Although this was only a three-pointer, the Pacers gradually calmed down because of Lin Shaojie's goal.

What Lin Shaojie didn't expect was that Brian actually arranged for Chandler to shoot three-pointers. If there were such a big outside shooter in the league, it would probably be the biggest problem for a talented guy like him.

The second is that the Nuggets double-teamed him right after the game started, which is rare.

Among the opponents the Pacers have encountered so far, some have double-teamed him, but they did not double-team him right from the start.

Lawson and Foye's crazy double-teaming was quite uncomfortable for Lin Shaojie, but at least these two were very attentive on the defensive end.

It's just that Lin Shaojie doesn't know whether the Nuggets have so many players who can compete with him. The seemingly direct tactics require a lot of physical fitness. How can one person be rotated? Two people?

Lin Shaojie looked at the Nuggets' bench from the corner of his eye. There was Nate Robinson and Fournier. Apart from these two, the Nuggets had no one available on the bench.

Looking at the Nuggets forward line on the court, they are far away from the Pacers in terms of height. There is no problem with Lin Shaojie mainly playing inside. It is a pity that Hibbert did not seize the opportunity in the opening game, but it doesn't matter, there is West.

The old guy's experience on the road trip was not very good, but Lin Shaojie felt that he wanted to score and win. In the next few rounds, Lin Shaojie focused on West.

The Nuggets' double-teaming of him would inevitably lead to missing players. After West saw Lin Shaojie's intentions, the two developed a tacit understanding.

Lawson and Foye on the court looked at coach Brian Shaw on the sidelines, and the latter nodded, indicating that the tactics should continue.

West hit one after another in the paint and launched a wave of counterattacks, and the Nuggets had to call a timeout.

After the timeout, Lin Shaojie stayed off the court and Stephenson came on.

The Pacers' offense has also shifted from inside to outside. Not to mention, Stephenson's performance on the court is much better than before. This guy's impact is very effective in front of the Nuggets' low-level lineup. Sometimes

Breaking in and scoring the ball can also have unexpected effects.

On the other hand, for the Nuggets, Foye became the main attacker, and COSCO shot back.

After the first quarter, the Nuggets ended the first round with a 22-18 lead. Stephenson, who was in high spirits, committed an old habit again, which was to invest in the defensive end.

Not high.

But his data is very good.

This made both Lin Shaojie and Frank frown a little.

"Although we're behind, I feel like we're doing pretty well!"

Stephenson, who scored 5 points and 2 assists, was very happy.

Everyone understands how difficult it is to truly achieve both offense and defense. Even if he is as strong as Paul George, if he wants to concentrate on defending LeBron, he must give up the ball during the offense.

Lin Shaojie is the only one who can achieve such a balance in the entire team.

This is not only a physical issue, but also a mental issue.

Frank himself is a coach who advocates a balance of offense and defense, and even puts more energy on defense. In offense, he lets assistant coaches or Lin Shaojie direct the offense off the court.

Nowadays, Stephenson's statistics are getting better and better. Even like the core main player, his statistics in several games are far better than those of George Hill and Paul George.

But who will do the dirty work within the team?

The Pacers are not a wealthy team, and everyone must devote energy to defense.

Lin Shaojie took advantage of the break to click on Stephenson.

"Lance, your performance is great, but you need to guard against the little guys on the opposite side, you know? You have the ability!"

Lin Shaojie's words were quite direct. Stephenson, who was still laughing and joking, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly responded.

"Understood, boss, I will work hard and I promise to blow their ass off."

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides still rotated players. Stephenson also wanted to work hard to do all this well, but when a player like Nate Robinson who was so talented at him hit consecutive three-pointers, everyone saw it.

.

At this time, it's not that Stephenson didn't try his best, but that he couldn't do it.

Stephenson has good static and dynamic talents, but facing the small Robinson, he is as clumsy as an elephant.

The Nuggets shot 11-0 at the beginning of the second quarter and couldn't score a single point in three minutes. Frank had to call a timeout and replace Lin Shaojie early.

Lin Shaojie's appearance is obvious. He is 1 centimeter shorter than Stephenson, but his dynamic talent is not something Robinson can challenge, let alone Lin Shaojie's defensive strength.

Nate Robinson, the nimble little mouse, seemed to be locked in a cage for an instant and could no longer score. The Nuggets' offense was suddenly curbed.

The effect is so obvious that everyone can see it.

Moreover, when the Nuggets were on defense, they used the double-teaming tactics of Robinson and other defenders, which hardly caused any trouble to Lin Shaojie. Lin Shaojie's dribbling method was not static, and Robinson's attempt to steal the ball was purely self-inflicted.

Even relying on his own jumping ability, this little man less than six feet tall actually wanted to give Lin Shaojie a hard blow.

Block shot?

Perhaps this has been the dream of every defender in the league for the past two seasons. Everyone wants Lin Shaojie to try being blocked.

But the fact is that Lin Shaojie's shot almost stopped in the air. Robinson, who is nearly 30 years old, is no longer as brave as when he first entered the league. He jumped in the air and could only watch Lin Shaojie complete the shot. He also got a foul because of his carelessness!

31!

At the Pepsi Center, Lin Shaojie shot hard against the Nuggets' double team and completed a confident shot.

After landing, Robinson fell to the side, and Lin Shaojie stood up straight, squinting at everything.

"Holy shit! That look in Director Lin's eyes is so domineering. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to survive this street and would be beaten properly!"

On the TV screen, Lin Shaojie's behavior of squinting at people made Chinese fans applaud.

On the court, Robinson quickly stood up with the support of his teammates and said viciously.

"I'll give you some color next time."

"continue!"

Lin Shaojie said softly.

Between offense and defense, Robin

Xun dribbles, his size is doomed, most tall defenders can't even think of completing steals in front of him.

Lin Shaojie put him one step away. Robinson wanted to suddenly take off and shoot, but his short stature is also easy to be blocked by players like Lin Shaojie, so the move that Robinson wanted to deceive the defender seemed a bit stiff.

The result of forcing the shot was in vain. West, who grabbed the defensive rebound, immediately handed the basketball to Lin Shaojie. The latter suddenly shot the ball midway while dribbling at a fast speed. It was just after halftime.

The Nuggets players were still deploying their defense, and no one could have imagined that Lin Shaojie would take action at that moment.

The basketball hit at an incredible angle, and the fans at the scene were silent.

"Double-team, I said double-team!"

A furious Brian Shaw stood on the sidelines and shouted.

"Don't relax your defense on Lynn, don't care where he is, as long as he is on the court, double-team him anytime, anywhere, and watch him die!"
