My basketball vision is different

Chapter 363 Four consecutive victories

When they landed in Atlanta, the Pacers players were still ignorant of outside news reports, and even the media on the Internet had not reacted too much.

But wait until night, when the players have finished training and are ready to chat for a while before falling asleep and facing the challenges of the next day.

Stephenson's loud voice screamed.

"Oh, my God, my God, I'm going to faint!"

Stephenson looked at his mobile phone. In order to appear conspicuous, the Times used a long list of "0000" to stimulate the reader's eyeballs.

Naked numbers spurred the Pacers' best sixth man.

Soon, all the Pacers players looked at No. 13 on the team with envy and jealousy.

They are no different from other fans. Everyone knows that Lynn is rich, but they don't know that he is so rich.

This is not a drama about the rich second generation coming to the basketball court to fight. There are many rich second generations in the American professional basketball team, and they are all players from well-off families.

But in front of them is a living rich generation.

And unlike players like LeBron, Lin Shaojie's wealth growth curve is too steep, which makes people scared to watch.

The huge disparity in money makes no one know how to describe their feelings.

That night, the players didn't know why they fell asleep. Anyway, they couldn't imagine if they had so much money, whether they would continue to fight on the court. After all, most of the team loves basketball, but they hope to pass basketball

Earn more wealth.

What most people think about before falling asleep is that after they have so much wealth, they may not be able to stand on the court and work hard. At the very least, they will have to spend a lot of time and drink.

In my sleep, my bed is made of banknotes, filled with the smell of alcohol and perfume.

The next day, when some people were still sleepy-eyed, Lin Shaojie had completed all his warm-up activities. The sweat on his body could show how much basic training he had done. Otherwise, with his physical fitness, such a situation would not have happened.

Sweating?

How could such a situation happen if the physical energy is not exhausted to a certain extent.

It is this kind of training day and night that keeps the muscles "active" and elastic, allowing Lin Shaojie to perform 100% at any time and at any time, and avoid injuries.

The Pacers players who were still sleepy after getting up had to admire this scene. Most people do not have a clear understanding of their physical condition, so they need the team behind them to supervise their physical condition.

But Lin Shaojie is different. Even if he is alone in an away game, the so-called "Three-legged Cats" members of the Pacers can provide him with certain assistance. Lin Shaojie himself has certain self-management and control abilities.

.

He has a very clear grasp of the measurement of training, which is something that others simply cannot do.

In the afternoon, the group went to the National Agricultural Arena.

Not to mention, the Hawks' home court is so down-to-earth. As the Hawks coach, Mike Budenholzer is also the new coach this year and does not have rich front-line coaching experience.

But judging from his tactical level, he is definitely a rare tactician among "new coaches". After the Eagles have been trained by him, judging from the current lineup, it is really good for them to achieve such results.

And this is only his first season. Maybe in the second year, the Eagles will achieve good results under his command.

This was also something Frank was particularly worried about before.

After all, in this league, even if you are in the position of the head coach, there are many people who cheat and cheat. Sometimes the head coach is actually a master tactician or a high-level "service" staff who can serve those superstars well. This is something everyone knows.

At the very least, Budenholzer is by no means a liar in Frank's mind. On the contrary, he is a real coach who can bring out the best of his players.

Judging from past records, at least before Lin Shaojie came to the Pacers, the Hawks had always been the victims of the Pacers. Frank took over the Pacers in 10 years.

After that, they never had a good record when facing the Hawks on the road, and it could be said to be a disastrous defeat.

Everything improved after the arrival of Lin Shaojie. On the contrary, Budenholzer lost all his advantages when facing the Pacers.

As for the reason, it is obvious.

They simply don't have a player of Lin Shaojie's caliber, or in other words, 99% of the league's teams don't have one.

This makes the Pacers coach both painful and happy. If he succeeds, the honor belongs to the players, if he fails, he is responsible. It is a tactical failure, how unfair it is.

After warming up, the Pacers' unshakable starting lineup faced the Hawks.

The Hawks, playing at home, fielded a lineup of Korver, Teague, Carroll, Millsap, and Ayon.

Needless to say, the core is naturally Millsap, but when I think of the "old captain" Brand sitting on the Eagles' bench, I know that the Eagles are by no means easy to bully.

In Lin Shaojie's eyes, there is also Mike Scott, the Hawks' second-round pick last year.

As a six-foot-eight forward, Scott was only a second-round pick, extremely late in the draft, but given his pick, he has been able to score explosively with the Hawks from time to time, which is a bit surprising.

.

It may be difficult for such a player to become a superstar, but he is definitely an indispensable member of the team, and his living condition is much better than most people think.

Especially last year, he scored an astonishing 23 points and 14 rebounds in a game against the Knicks, which made the Knicks lose face when playing at home.

It seems like every player who plays at Madison Square Garden wants to prove themselves.

After the game started, the Pacers lost a jump ball in the away game, but it didn't matter. This was Hibbert's routine operation. But when Lin Shaojie watched Paul George missing people in the paint, he was a little unimaginable.

The cooperation of Carroll and Millsap completely evaded the defense of Paul George and West, and easily hit the board into the basket.

Lin Shaojie's attack was instigated, but George Hill, who had always been steady, actually slipped, allowing the Hawks to seize the opportunity and launch a quick counterattack.

A 4-0 start is not unacceptable, but the performance of the players on the court is simply unimaginable.

"Haha, the Pacers' performance after the opening was terrible!"

The host said jokingly, with a strange look on his face: "I think this is the news about Lynn's wealth that was revealed yesterday, which makes it difficult for these players to accept it?"

Although this was just a joke and even Lin Shaojie couldn't hear it, most people felt that the Pacers' performance after the start was strange.

Lin Shaojie did not give the two players who made mistakes a chance. In the next round, he handed the ball to the most reliable David West.

The "Wise Man" of the Pacers finally did not disappoint Lin Shaojie, and successfully relied on Millsap to score this goal.

Lin Shaojie took the initiative to retreat, allowing Paul George and George Hill to go to the outside to defend Korver and Teague.

Millsap also didn't expect that Li Shaojie would go deep into the flank to fight with him after the game started. Wasn't he looking down on him too much?

Lin Shaojie's "active" retreat on the defensive end was beyond everyone's expectations, but the effect was obvious.

Although Teague and Korver became active on the outside as a result, they actually did not do much. It was impossible for them to penetrate deep into the paint. The most important thing is that the three-point shooting rate of these two people was not enough to give the Pacers

Inflicting fatal damage, they can only break through and pass.

Lin Shaojie, who stands firmly inside the three-point line, has flexible footsteps. On the one hand, he can deter flexible players; on the other hand, he can deter players of Millsap's level in terms of strength.

In an instant, the bad impression the Pacers had on the fans in the first two minutes was immediately changed. In the next four minutes, Lin Shaojie's change made the Hawks scoreless. On the contrary, the Pacers relied on "Twin Towers" Hibbert.

and West fought back 12-0, forcing coach Mike Budenholzer to call a timeout.

"Can you believe this is a billionaire?"

The host exclaimed in disbelief. Lin Shaojie's move of going deep into the paint seemed very simple. It was just a hand-to-hand fight with those flankers and even the black and tough. But it looked easy, but it was actually difficult.

This is dirty and tiring work that many players are unwilling to do, but the core player can do it with dignity, and the effect is very obvious.

Defensively, the Pacers held the Hawks scoreless, demonstrating the league's top defensive efficiency.

The offense was even more clean and tidy. The Pacers, who had the advantage, only relied on the inside line, leaving the Hawks exhausted.

The Hawks couldn't stop Lin Shaojie's pass. Their back line was too short and they were completely "opening the gates" defense. If it weren't for the need to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates, Lin Shaojie could easily make a shot when double-teamed.

Three point hit.

After the timeout came back, Teague and Korver on the outside increased the frequency of their shots. Lin Shaojie went deep into the paint, and his cooperation with Hibbert and West was so sharp that the Hawks had to change formations.

On the other hand, the Pacers have strengthened the shooting opportunities of Paul George and George Hill.

The advantage of playing inside also gives the two loose shooting opportunities.

Not to mention, the two sides had a feeling of "rookies pecking each other" in terms of shooting percentage. However, relying on the advantage they had previously gained, during the rotation near the end of the first quarter, the Pacers firmly suppressed the Hawks in the game.

.

After Lin Shaojie, West and others came off the court, the substitutes from both sides came on.

At this time, coach Frank's expression was far more solemn than when Lin Shaojie was on the court.

Brand and Scott, who were replaced on the opposite side, are both good players, plus Kadir Martin, an undrafted player who started his career with the Bobcats and made his mark with the Wizards.

The Eagles' bench has a group of ready-to-combat players.

Lin Shaojie also discovered that although those non-draft players are not the mainstream in the league, if a non-draft player like this can stand in the league, especially the player named Martin in front of him, that is really a skill.

You can't see any explosive performance from this striker on the court. His excessive weight limits his dynamic talents.

But standing on the court, he can grab rebounds and score points. It seems that he is less than 7 points, but the effect is clear to an expert at a glance.

Easy to use!

Besides, Scott, the second-round pick in 2012, was not afraid at all when he faced Stephenson, a player with a huge reputation, and he was able to fight with ease.

You know, Stephenson has gained a great reputation in the Pacers, but judging from the performance during the rotation between the two sides, Stephenson was actually overwhelmed by the opponent.

Stephenson, who originally had some assist ability, made many mistakes in this game and was completely out of shape.

As for "Old Captain" Elton Brand.

It was not a good idea to leave the Clippers, and now he has become a member of the well-known "Rangers", but the rich experience is enough for him to gain a foothold on the court.

In this game, Brandon came off the bench. From the end of the first quarter to the second half of the second quarter, Brandon only had a total of 5 shooting opportunities, but his shooting rate of 4 out of 5 made the Pacers' bench players less angry.

.

Although Paul George's shooting percentage improved in the second quarter, there was nothing he could do against the "Old Captain", not even a blowout.

When the two sides fought off the bench, the Pacers were at a disadvantage as a whole.

This is a rare situation in a season.

The host boasted in a slightly mocking tone, saying that the Hawks were worthy of being "giant killers," and that if they could perform stably, they would have no problem making the playoffs.

As for the Pacers, they are still a little too immature and unlike those old-school strong teams, they have a deep foundation.

Although it was a joke, in fact, judging from the game data of the past two years, the performance of the established strong teams against the Hawks was really not good. On the contrary, the Pacers reversed their decline and showed their advantages.

Today is just a bit of a stumble. The game is not over yet. There is still a long time to go, and it is not certain who will win or lose.

On the other hand

Lin Shaojie, who was sitting off the court, looked at ease, and Frank, who looked solemn, seemed invisible until the end of the midfield game.

The Pacers, who established an advantage in the first quarter, fell behind the Hawks after halftime.

Everyone who returned to the locker room was a little unhappy, not sure if it was because of the situation on the court or because they didn't get a good rest last night.

And Mahinmi, who didn't perform well, even lowered his head sadly.

In this game, he played before Gobert, but facing the "old" lineup on the opposite side, Mahinmi felt like he was born at the wrong time.

Whether it was Brand and others, or guys like Teague who were shooting from the outside, they all restrained him.

He only scored 2 points after playing more than ten minutes of the game. When he returned to the locker room, he couldn't hold his head up.

Lin Shaojie looked at the depressed Mahinmi and patted the big guy.

His offensive strength is worrying, his talent is far from Hibbert's, and he is a player from overseas, so he always feels out of place.

But everyone can see his efforts on the court, and sometimes his good intentions lead to bad things.

But Mahinmi has always worked hard, and Lin Shaojie likes this big guy.

When Frank announced the lineup for the second half, Mahinmi had already been replaced. He didn't know if he still had a chance, but Gobert definitely had more chances than him.

"Lynn, do you have anything to say?"

After Frank laid out his tactics, he asked Lin Shaojie.

"I don't have much to say. In fact, everyone played very well."

Lin Shaojie stood next to Mahinmi and said with a smile, very sincere, but Paul George lowered his head shyly after hearing this.

"Pickled pepper, do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

"No, you said it very well!"

Paul George responded insincerely.

"Okay, am I going to say that we played badly?"

Lin Shaojie spread his hands: "That's Brand, not an unknown person, a former superstar, who knows what stimulated him. This game suddenly broke out, and he made four out of five shots. I think he himself is also very long."

Time has passed, right?

And that guy Scott, his shooting percentage is over 60%, but is that his true shooting percentage? I don't believe it.

No matter what, the performance of the Eagles is abnormal. We just need to perform normally. No matter what the opponent is, we can defeat it. Believe me, with you here, we can defeat all enemies."

Lin Shaojie's words made everyone in the locker room relax, except Stephenson who was not in a good mood.

The coach had severely criticized him before. During the rotation, he made four mistakes alone, far more than before.

When the second half started, the Eagles actually took the lead in attacking. I wonder if they wanted to rely on the advantage they gained during the rotation to win over their opponents at home.

After three minutes of slightly rough offense, the score of 10-4 surprised the home fans.

But before the Hawks fans could cheer, Lin Shaojie stole the ball from Teague and assisted Paul George.

Afterwards, Paul George seemed to have regained his touch, and his shooting percentage improved again and again.

In cooperation with Lin Shaojie, he successfully stopped Millsap and successfully counterattacked.

In four minutes, the Hawks were held scoreless for the second time in this game. The Pacers' defensive efficiency was really amazing.

The host who originally explained this game with a ridiculing tone had to lament that the Pacers are the Pacers. The originally close to double-digit lead was successfully overtaken by the Pacers in just four minutes.

Looking at the score of 67 to 64, the host had to admit that the Pacers had regained the initiative in the second half of this game.

Sure enough, the Pacers, who had taken the lead, never gave their opponents a chance and "blocked the whole game" against the Hawks players in the away game.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Budenholzer mobilized his troops.

He dispatched generals and kept replacing them, but it was useless.

The walker who has gained the advantage is like a tiger descending the mountain, and the biting eagle is "covered in blood."

It was not until the end of the third quarter that the fans realized that after one quarter, the Eagles had only scored 11 points, while their opponents had scored 32 points.

When the fourth quarter started, Lin Shaojie still stayed on the court and led his team to an 8-2 score, widening the point difference to 24 points, and the game gradually lost suspense.

Budenholzer "hurriedly removed" the main players with ten minutes left in the game, causing the home fans to boo.

Frank reciprocated the favor and came on as a substitute.

At this time, the newcomers Schroeder and Scott led the team to a 10-3 run. However, before the Eagles players could cheer, Gobert made two consecutive big blocks on defense, making the Eagles' offense useless.

Return with success.

Scola also showed off his skills in the subsequent offense, successfully shooting inside and scoring 5 points with consecutive free throws, completely establishing the victory.

Budenholzer, who wanted to steal the victory by relying on his substitutes, had to swallow the bitter pill of failure.

Because the Pacers relied on the substitutes to successfully close the point difference to 30 points at this stage, if the Hawks continue to resist, they may lose all face.

The frequency of games entering garbage time began to decrease, and everyone understood that the game was over.

When the final whistle sounded, Lin Shaojie, who was sitting off the court, smiled and high-fived his teammates in celebration.

After the away game in the Western Conference, the Pacers returned home and won four consecutive victories. The feeling of being immersed in victory is particularly fascinating.
