Kobe Bryant sat on the sidelines watching the game and was not worried about the dismal situation the Lakers were in.

At his age, if his ambition is still the same, the things he considers are no longer as trivial as when he was young.

He also knows that the current players are no longer interested in the way they play. Look at Lin Shaojie. He can establish himself in the league with just three-pointers. Who is willing to fight tooth and nail in the paint? After all the hard work, he only has 2 points.

Compared with 3 points, the efficiency value dropped by 50%.

Therefore, the players of the new era have also begun to become more sophisticated. Each generation of players will inevitably force this group of so-called new era players to go outside. Even the big men in the paint are beginning to require shooting ability.

In the past, the "driver" would have been a softie, but now, everyone has begun to respect that guy, which is not what a champion can bring.

After the midfield game, the Pacers, who had taken a comprehensive lead, never gave the Lakers any chance.

After such a game, there are many things to watch. For example, Marshall of the Lakers is also an outstanding player, but it is a pity that he was completely unable to display his due strength against a strong team like the Pacers.

In the second half, Lin Shaojie was still standing on the court. The Pacers' overall advantage over the Lakers was too great. The point difference went straight to 30 points. In the end, it was Frank who took the initiative to withdraw Lin Shaojie and other main players, leaving enough face for each other.

.

The fans watching the game began to know at that time that the game had officially entered garbage time.

In the defeat to the Nuggets, Lin Shaojie "survived" on the court for less than thirty minutes, but under his leadership, the Pacers achieved a crushing victory.

After two consecutive games, everyone finally saw clearly the gap between Lin Shaojie and others, especially the gap between Stephenson and him.

Stephenson, who is currently favored by the transfer market, has become a focus of investigation. After his cost-effectiveness, he also has a mismatch advantage on the back line.

He can jump, shoot, and pass, he can do almost everything. Overall, his strength can be regarded as a player with an annual salary of nearly "ten million". Even compared with those defenders who dominate the league, he is only slightly inferior.

However, after these two games, Stephenson's market situation has become somewhat bearish, and his comprehensiveness on the court does not represent true comprehensiveness.

After being biased in one direction, there will inevitably be deficiencies in other aspects.

Against the backdrop of Lin Shaojie's offensive and defensive performance, Stephenson appears to be full of loopholes.

There is also Paul George, the much-anticipated second-in-command of the Pacers with extremely high growth attributes. There are also many problems. Poor shooting stability is an important factor.

In the Pacers' victory over the Lakers, Paul George only scored 13 points, even less than Stephenson's 15 points. David West scored the most points on the team with 25 points, followed by Lin Shaojie with 21 points.

But Lin Shaojie still had 16 assists.

Paul George has taken 21 shots, the most on the team, but only made 4 goals. If it weren't for him, the Pacers would have crushed the Lakers from the beginning.

On the other hand, Marshall didn't score much for the Lakers, only scoring 8 points, but he got 10 assists, more assists than points, which convinced many people that he was the passer the Lakers needed.

However, people who have watched the game are a little worried about what "Ma Dashuai" will do if he encounters a defender like Lin Shaojie next time.

After all, it seems that only one of the assist statistics that Marshall can get was completed in front of Lin Shaojie, and all subsequent assists were completed when Lin Shaojie came off the court.

This is not a good phenomenon.

As for Gasol, he is still the unshakable core of the Lakers. His 21 points and 13 rebounds allow him to push the Lakers forward. He has lost the game and won the data. It is already a matter of time before he leaves the Lakers. Judging from the market situation,

Gasol is still the big man pursued by both the East and West.

Nick Young, who came to the Lakers from the 76ers, thought he was the savior, but he never expected that his first season with the Lakers was not very good.

The data does not appear to be

Not bad, maybe even a record high, but as the "Best Sixth Man", he is purely a scoring machine. The coach's requirement for him is to play and score.

The current lineup of the Lakers hardly takes any excessive care of him. He looks a bit thin and does not have Lin Shaojie's strength advantage.

As a talented swingman, Nick Young needs a passer to help him, but unfortunately, from the current point of view, Marshall does not seem to be the player that suits him.

After the game, Kobe could only watch the Pacers drift away. He was trying to comfort his teammates. In the past, being able to not show off his face would have been considered a sign of kindness.

Time has taken away Kobe's health, but also left him with a sense of the world.

He has grown up too!

As the Pacers completed their last game on the road and were about to return home, their next opponent was the Suns, who had just defeated them at home.

Everyone is speculating that in the last home game before, the Pacers lost that big round, and as their first "return" home game, the Pacers should win the opponent, regardless of the team's record or both sides.

The Pacers cannot lose to the same opponent twice in one season.

Even if they lose two games in five away games, the Pacers have lost a total of three games so far, but this does not affect their ability to still occupy the first place in the league.

Of course, in the latest team strength rankings, the Pacers are still firmly ranked first, even though they have a record of two defeats.

Ranked second is the Trail Blazers. Their offense ranks first in the league, but their defense has always had problems. They are not as balanced as the Pacers.

The third place is the Spurs. The Spurs' rotation this season is not as crazy as last season, which has also caused their starting lineup to suffer from injuries.

As for the fourth-place Thunder, their strength is unparalleled and they are still a disruptor in the Western Conference. Everyone is afraid of playing against them. After all, there is an unpredictable Durant in the team.

However, the Thunder's ups and downs, and the loss of some inexplicable games have made people doubt their stability. It's like the Thunder finally managed to stay in first place, but soon gave up.

As for the more popular Heat and Rockets, they are ranked behind.

As the team with the best player in the league, it is bad enough that the Heat only ranked fifth. However, the Big Three unanimously stated that this season they will regain the championship from the Pacers, and their regular season record is not the same.

Put it in their eyes.

The Rockets...their problem is exactly the same as the Trail Blazers. Their offense is strong and their defense is weak. Except for Beverley, who is more reliable, the rest of the team spends more energy on offense.

Just as the Pacers were turning around and returning to the Eastern Conference, the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western All-Star lineups.

Lin Shaojie became the Eastern Conference's @

Some experts analyze that if Nike wants to continue to sign the next contract with Lin Shaojie, the price it needs to pay may be far greater than the original price of Coca-Cola's acquisition of bodyarr. You know, that investment can be called a mere investment from the perspective of time and income.

Second to the cooperation between Nike and Jordan, it is a model of commercial success for professional basketball players.

Now Kobe and Lin Shaojie are still benefiting from this.

As for being able to seize the female market, Lin Shaojie is unique.

Therefore, regarding Lin Shaojie winning the final All-Star vote, LeBron sent out blessings on Twitter, saying that this was a well-deserved win.

Is this LeBron’s magnanimity?

Or is he enlightened?

No, this is a symbol of their "firm" friendship!

It was a compromise under the market economy. Lin Shaojie was the man who played a major role in opening up new territories, and the alliance benefited a lot from this.

Now that Nike Baba is personally giving his blessings, do the stars in the same camp still want to be reserved? If you do the opposite, the sponsor dad will let you know why the flowers are so red.

In addition to Lin Shaojie gaining more attention, Paul George's successful selection has caused a lot of controversy.

Maybe there wasn't much controversy at first. After all, he is the second-in-command of the Pacers, equivalent to Pippen next to Joe, and he deserves all the respect he deserves.

It is a pity that Paul George's state has been ups and downs in recent games, causing him to be tortured by the media.

Since childhood, Paul George has been criticized for his unprofessional background and his "non" team basketball background. According to some media, apart from one-on-one, Paojiao is a player who relies on talent to play.

Even when he entered college, he was only trying to show off his talents and didn't do much in team basketball.

Faced with these unwarranted criticisms, Lin Shaojie sternly retorted before boarding the plane.

"It's easy to find fault. You can say that he has many shortcomings, but don't forget that when he faced the Heat in the playoffs last year, "Pickled Pepper" could keep consuming LeBron for forty minutes.

With the energy, no one else can do it, including me.”

Lin Shaojie's self-effacing reply and praise made Paul George, who looked a little gloomy, feel much better. Frank also patted Lin Shaojie gratefully.

At this time, the Pacers, who had lost three games, were not under a lot of pressure, but for Paul George himself, the pressure was actually very high. The second-in-command wanted to prove that he had the ability to stand on the court and become an indispensable core player.

A missing member.

However, his excessive force and somewhat unbalanced mentality made him bear greater responsibility for the defeats in those two away games. After all, Lin Shaojie was suppressed by Frank. It was his turn for Paul George to contribute, but the result was a failure.

end.

Lin Shaojie can support his teammates, which makes the atmosphere in the Pacers team self-evident. Bynum, who was far away in Indianapolis, saw such news and couldn't help but nod to Larry Bird.

"Lynn is such a good leader, he is helping Paul relieve stress!"

While the Pacers' soldiers were struggling outside, Larry Bird was not idle. After considering many angles, they finally decided to sign Andrew Bynum.

This is not simply to add trouble to the Heat. The Pacers, who have no problems with their regular season record, have long begun to consider the playoffs.

In addition to the Heat, an old rival, the Pacers are invincible in the East, so they must consider how to face those powerful Western Conference players and how the Pacers can defeat potential opponents.

With Lin Shaojie on the back line and Stephenson and others on the bench, the Pacers have "excess energy." However, outsiders see a strong team on the inside, and the team's front office staff knows it.

If you encounter the five-scum Pacers, you will definitely crush them, but if you encounter a tough opponent like the Grizzlies, the Pacers will have no advantage.

Roy Hibbert's instability is a time bomb. David West is old enough, and Scola is only a substitute. He has some starting opportunities occasionally, but he cannot replace West's position.

Gobert is still young, and no one knows that he is in the season

How was the performance in the post-game?

As for Mahinmi and others, no matter how you look at it, there are some shortcomings and they are not enough to produce satisfactory results in the playoffs.

An experienced player like Bynum can fill the Pacers' interior vacancies as long as he can exert more than 60% of his strength.

Ten minutes, even ten minutes is enough.

After the Pacers returned from Los Angeles, teammates saw Bynum appear in front of everyone for the first time.

"Welcome, Andrew!"

As the boss of the team, Lin Shaojie expressed his attitude, while Bynum looked at the No. 13 opposite in a daze!

Since deciding to join the Pacers, the two teams have actually been discussing it for a lot of time.

The Pacers' record is on the one hand, and the other is the good atmosphere within the team, which Bynum has begun to feel.

As for Lin Shaojie, Bynum only learned about it when he watched news about Kobe Bryant. After all, as Kobe Bryant's friend, the Oriental man will definitely attract many curious eyes when he appears in the league.

Bynum is no exception.

At that time, Bynum did not consider joining the Pacers. On the contrary, he thought that being able to become friends with someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder like Kobe must also be an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was somewhat resistant at first.

When he first entered the league when he was young, the nightmare of being scolded by a player who was changed from No. 8 to No. 24 has always stayed in the back of his mind, and he doesn't want to do it again.

But when the Pacers' 38-game winning streak was announced, Bynum knew that if he wanted to regain his championship dream, this was the only option. At least he was still "young," and it was not time to retire yet.

"Thank you, Lynn."

Bynum said a little stiffly. In fact, his original intention was to say hello, but his voice was slightly cold. Worried about the misunderstanding on the other side, Bynum said quickly.

"I want to play ball, I really want to play ball."

Bynum's tone was a bit hasty as he gestured. Perhaps no one understands better than him the consequences of offending the team boss.

Larry Bird made it clear before he joined the team that the Pacers belong to Lynn's team and no one can challenge the Chinese's status.

Of course you, a newcomer, can't do it either.

At the team training match the next day, Bynum's appearance was formally and warmly welcomed by the players.

Bynum, who has not played basketball for some days, has regulated his diet and rest schedule for this appearance.

"Brothers, for me, I've been away from the game for a while, but believe me, it's not the end of the world for me, I still have gas in the tank."

Lin Shaojie was quietly doing warm-up training on the side. Yesterday, he had made his attitude clear. "Welcome" is not just words, it needs to be expressed with actual actions.

Frank is obviously a young coach, but the current state and lineup of the Pacers are impeccable. It is impossible for him to risk making adjustments, and there is Gobert on the bench. This young man who represents the future of the Pacers has already

Having shown his value, so many people on the team are waiting for the growth of another big man.

As for Bynum, everyone understands that his role is to use up his energy in the playoffs and help the team go further, nothing more.

As for playing, Bynum is also prepared to sit on the bench for a long time. The head coach has made it clear that his most likely appearance will be after the All-Star Game. Now he can only train with the team and recover his condition.

When the game training officially started, Bynum, as a member of the substitutes, was a little lost.

"Lynn is on the same team as us?"

Scola looked at the big man next to him, who was also his old rival. At this time, he saw Lin Shaojie actually wearing substitute colored clothes and fighting with them, which was obviously a bit unexpected.

"Do you think with Linn's strength, if he were on the home team, we would still be able to play?"

Scola said empathetically, while Bynum seemed a little unconvinced: "Are those legends true?"

"Okay, big guy, his strength is really outstanding, you

If you want to live a comfortable life with the Pacers, you must listen to the coach off the court and listen to him on the court."

After the game officially started, Bynum, as a newcomer, certainly received a lot of preferential treatment. For example, No. 13 gave him a lot of good-looking passes.

Although he hasn't played face-to-face against a strong team like the Pacers for a while, Bynum has somewhat regained the feeling of the past at this moment.

No matter how he plays inside, the basketball coming from No. 13 will always give him a wonderful feeling. That kind of "smooth as silk" feeling was something that neither Kobe Bryant nor Fisher gave him back then.

of.

Kobe prefers to do it on his own, and Fisher is past his prime.

It can be said that Bynum, who has been in the league for many years, felt for the first time what it would be like to have an excellent passer next to him.

As long as he occupies his position, the basketball will always be passed to him immediately, and the turning dunk made Bynum couldn't help but shout.

"Fk, this feels so good!"

After a few goals, Lin Shaojie came over and patted his butt drum: "Be quiet, big guy, your playing style is too exciting, you can try shooting more."

Regarding the intimacy shown by Lin Shaojie, even in the first training match, Bynum said with some emotion.

"Oh my gosh, Lynn, you are so much nicer and talkative than No. 24. I like you!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the walkers started laughing up and down.

No matter what the future holds, this guy with flashy hair and clothes, who even resembled Granger's dress before leaving, at least performed well in private training, even if it was only ten minutes, but for the Pacers, signing him is not enough.
