My basketball vision is different
Chapter 371 Assist Storm
On February 17, the main game of the NBA All-Star Weekend was officially launched.
Lin Shaojie was surrounded by a group of players, and his teammates were all old acquaintances. Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
On such occasions, the starting players gave reporters in the front row a meaningful smile.
No matter what the experts say or think, these ten players present are currently in the best condition and are the best group in the hearts of the fans.
Although it is a pity, for example, Kobe cannot play, for example, Chris Paul bids farewell to the All-Star due to injury, and for example... Howard is also unable to play due to injury.
To put it into perspective, such shortcomings occur every year, but this year it is just more obvious.
In this fiercely competitive business league, no one of the best players in the league is arrogant, and no one is immortal. They must have the awareness that "injuries are always with me."
Just like the former No. 1 player Kobe, now he has to accept the reality and sit under the court to watch the game.
I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement by the league’s uniform staff, or if it was for reporters to find elements of the game.
Kobe Bryant, who was walking back from the commentary booth, suddenly discovered that "Warcraft" Howard was sitting next to where he was sitting. At this time, one of the two people was sitting and the other was standing.
Kobe didn't seem to see it and walked straight past Howard. The reporters clicked their shutters one after another.
Zhang Weiping was overjoyed when he saw this scene from a distance.
"Haha, Kobe didn't say hello to Howard, but he and Chris Paul were communicating."
Zhang Weiping obviously did it on purpose. Who told him to be a "technical whistleblower" in the first place?
Not to mention the dirty things that happened when the two teamed up together, after "Warcraft" left the Lakers, the relationship with Kobe became even more irreconcilable. Warcraft even posted a picture of himself riding and dunking on Kobe Bryant on Twitter in 2009, like this
This approach also caused Howard to be attacked by Kobe fans.
"You trash, you will never get the ring."
"You're an asshole!"
"You are so shameless!"
"I don't have to partner with Kobe tonight, I think Howard should be very excited!"
Zhang Weiping said with a smile. I don't know if he spoke in "6 Billion Comet". Anyway, Howard was unable to play tonight due to injury. He was afraid that he and Kobe would have to sit on the sidelines for a long time in embarrassment.
Lin Shaojie, who was standing in the midfield, was holding the ball and pacing slowly. He did not make a quick dash.
After the start of the game, Curry actually made his first mistake on such an occasion. The Western Conference stars wearing red jerseys launched a fast break after the opening, but unfortunately, Curry himself did not know which direction he was in during the change of direction.
I wasn’t too nervous. I obviously succeeded in passing others, but the basketball slipped at the last moment.
Lin Shaojie originally wanted to let Curry pass by like a wooden stake. When he encountered the "pass" ball coming to the goal, he instinctively grabbed it in his arms, and then launched a long pass. LeBron received the ball and hit Huashan with a powerful kick.
, successfully came out on top.
If Curry's mistake was a bit inexplicable, Harden's next pass to Wade was even more unexpected.
Lin Shaojie took the lead. Wade watched Lin Shaojie respond promptly and had to pass the ball. Eastern players launched an offensive like a tide.
Lin Shaojie clearly had a chance to dunk on his own, but at the last moment, the Western Conference gave up its defense and passed the ball without looking behind the head. LeBron followed closely and dunked after an alley-oop.
"Oh my God, the Eastern Conference took the lead in the opening game and successfully scored 4 points. These two goals are really beautiful."
Zhang Weiping sighed.
"If we didn't say this was the All-Star game, many people would have thought it was a slam dunk contest. Lin Shaojie's absence and LeBron's non-participation made this traditional event less attractive. The dunk contest held yesterday...
..."
The slam dunk contest that Zhang Weiping cherished so much has become a thing of the past.
But at the game site, even decent people in the basketball world must acquiesce to the rules on the court and cannot increase their defensive efforts as soon as they start. As a result, the so-called actual dunk will be too much.
Lin Shaojie showed great restraint, and his role as an organizer goes without saying. In his four minutes of playing time, the Eastern Conference was organized in an orderly manner.
Looking back at the Western Conference, except for Curry, all the starting players seem to be extremely talented. But even Curry, his touch is extraordinary. Coupled with his concentration on basketball, among all players, his shooting ability is absolutely outstanding.
It's top notch.
No matter how much the outside world looks down on him, when it comes to its essence, isn't basketball just a game of putting the ball in the basket?
As long as you put it in, no matter whether you dunk or shoot, no one else can make irresponsible remarks.
However, they lack a qualified point guard and have good ball handlers like Harden and Durant. If chaos really breaks out, they are the players who will be at a disadvantage.
But with Griffin's dunk, the West finally stopped its decline and began to score.
And Lin Shaojie got 6 assists in less than half a quarter, which was also a successful end.
Only Kobe on the other side frowned a little.
In fact, for Lin Shaojie's ability, it is very possible to score more than 150 points in the All-Star Game, let alone 6 assists in such a free game. It is normal to score more than 150 points in the All-Star Game. After all, there is no defense.
It is most suitable for players.
But everything is a bit strange in the eyes of a veteran like Kobe who has been around for many years. He knows that it is never that simple on the court.
Because many balls can obviously be shot directly, but the Eastern Conference insists on reverse shots. The result is that Lin Shaojie's assist data plummets.
When the two sides started to rotate players, Lin Shaojie seemed to know nothing about it and acted like a fool. It was impossible for Kobe to rush forward and scream loudly.
"You have to stand up, someone is targeting you."
Although Kobe was inadvertently conveying information with his eyes, Lin Shaojie didn't seem to notice it and was still flirting with Eastern Conference coach Spoelstra.
"I think LeBron's shot was great, but it would have been better if he could have shot it directly rather than dunking it."
"Actually, I have always felt that LeBron is the smartest player in the league. If he could attack more without the ball or pass the ball and play a central role, I think the Heat's results would be far better than they are now."
Spoelstra, who was smiling, twitched the corners of his mouth. He wanted to shout loudly: "Brother, don't you know that I am the coach of the Heat? How can you, a feuding enemy, have the nerve to talk to me."
Well, Spoelstra still remembers the Heat's four consecutive kills last season. Before Lin Shaojie joined the Pacers, the Heat had always been the sufferers of the Pacers, especially after the Big Three successfully formed a team.
But everything changed last season, all the good memories of the past were gone, and the Pacers became the victims of the Heat.
That’s called “bitterness”!
Until now when I see Lin Shaojie, Spoelstra feels his mouth is dry.
The Heat's record in the Eastern Conference this season is not bad compared to the Western Conference, but they are firmly under pressure by the Pacers. Even if the latter loses ten games in a row, the Heat have no chance of comeback. They want to return to the first place in the Eastern Conference this season.
It is completely impossible. Unless half of the members of a team like the Pacers are injured, under the leadership of the Chinese, even the substitute lineup will be able to fight.
From Lin Shaojie's perspective as a coach, Spoelstra pretended not to hear some of LeBron's "arrangements." The All-Star Game is a happy place for players, and their presence as a group of coaches is extremely low.
Spoelstra also doesn't want to give orders unjustly. Like Frank last year, he delegates all authority. As long as the players feel good about themselves, everything can be done as they please.
Spoelstra was a little bored at first, but he soon discovered that if he really improved LeBron as Lin Shaojie said, it would be a good idea for the current Heat.
But when the Heat's front office kept delaying the contract extension with LeBron, everyone understood that LeBron was not for sale, but as the biggest "crocodile" in the 2014 offseason, LeBron
There are new considerations.
Under such circumstances, Lin Shaojie's words can almost be regarded as a "conspiracy."
Do you want to change it?
Changed the record to benefit the team.
But how to change it?
There is no contract renewal, is such an adjustment meaningful? In less than half a season, is it too late?
If you don't change, the tactics will be seen through, and the bench that lacks foundation will be even less competitive. How can you compete with the Pacers?
Questions came flooding in one after another, and Spoelstra could only turn his head with a slightly dry mouth, and then said to Lin Shaojie.
"Lynn, you are a smarter player than LeBron. I think if I could, I would be your coach because I have never coached such a smart player."
All right!
The head coach who started out with the Heat, even though he was a puppet in the beginning and was a knife in the hands of "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley, he has proven his ability to lead the team to victory and coach superstars.
Lin Shaojie responded to Spoelstra's words with a smile, and both parties acted very friendly.
Everyone understands that this is a show, and the coach is no exception. In this case, you must be prepared for a show, otherwise the boos from the fans will definitely prevent you from getting off the stage.
Soon, the first quarter of the game ended, and Lin Shaojie did not appear again until the second half of the second quarter.
During the period when he disappeared, Durant hit consecutive three-pointers, which not only helped the team tie and overtake the score, but also led his teammates to take advantage.
Irving, who replaced Lin Shaojie, played "seven in and seven out," just like Changshan Zhao Zilong.
He was originally supposed to be organizing from the outside and went straight inside. The other Anthony, who was originally a low-post killer, also became an outside shooter during this period.
Anthony changed his low-post attack kaleidoscope and started shooting from outside the three-point line. He did not take many shots, but his three-point shooting rate so far is 100%!
Very scary!
If Durant in the Western Conference hadn't been so unbelievable, the two men's gorgeous internal and external offense together would have really given the fans an unexpected surprise.
Less than halftime, before Lin Shaojie came back on the court, Durant scored the most 19 points in the game, Anthony and Griffin both scored 16 points, and Irving also scored 17 points, making him the top scorer in the Eastern Conference.
After Lin Shaojie came on the court, he finally regrouped with Paul George. The two Pacers teammates who worked well together finally blossomed again at this moment.
No matter who is sent by the Western Conference, as long as Lin Shaojie feels that his teammates are not causing trouble, then everything is indifferent to him.
After the restart, as everyone expected, Lin Shaojie and Paul George seemed to only have eyes for each other, with other players serving as foils.
Spoelstra also tried his best to send "unknown" stars to accompany him, allowing LeBron and others to take the opportunity to rest off the court.
After all, the game only lasts a few minutes, so nothing should go wrong, right?
Spoelstra thought so, and so did LeBron and others.
Irving, who scored the most points in the Eastern Conference, also patted LeBron with gratitude. The latter reached out and rubbed the "hair" of the Cavaliers core, which was so sweet.
Anyway, the owner of the Heat watched the "Mom Sees Fighting" series, and the owner of the Cavaliers saw "Sweet as Honey!"
After playing for more than half of the season, this All-Star game was a rare occasion for Lin Shaojie to advance with the ball easily. If it were in a formal game, no team would dare to let him go like this.
Not to mention double-teaming, but there must be a "personal guard" after halftime. It's better now, there is only one player watching from a distance, watching Lin Shaojie shooting the basketball.
There is a distance of nearly two meters between the two, and their offense and defense are almost open to each other, entering and exiting at will.
But Lin Shaojie glanced out of the corner of his eye and flicked his wrist, and the basketball arced in the air. Paul George, who launched the attack from the wing, took off directly, received the pass in mid-air and dunked it hard.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
Zhang Weiping said with excitement: "We have seen the connection between LeBron and Wade before, but looking at this shot, Coach Lin and 'Pickled Pepper' are really a match made in heaven. This level of tacit understanding cannot be matched by outsiders."
!”
Currently, the West still holds a slight lead, while the East is in a chasing position.
With Lin Shaojie coming on the court, Paul George has become the busiest player on the court. He needs to constantly launch attacks, constantly fly over the horizon, and bomb the Western Conference basket.
It only took a while for both sides to show off their skills. The more skilled Eastern Conference actually slowly tied the game and then regained the lead!
"Holy shit, isn't this transition between offense and defense too fast?"
LeBron himself didn't expect that both sides hardly defended. Under such circumstances, Lin Shaojie's vision was even more exaggerated. From time to time, long passes would surprise the court. How could he see Paul George when he clearly had no vision?
Where is the location?
The Western Conference, which doesn't seem to be very defensive, is actually using crowds to block Lin Shaojie's passing possibilities, but nothing can stop the tacit understanding between the two.
Well, in addition to the Hawkeye system on the scene, fans, players and coaches all attributed this to the tacit understanding between Lin Shaojie and Paul George.
Lin Shaojie, who originally only had 6 assists and negligible scoring, suddenly had 14 assists in the few minutes remaining in the first half.
Such data is really exaggerated. You must know that Lin Shaojie's total playing time is less than 10 minutes. This kind of efficiency is worth seeing LeBron's scalp numb.
For LeBron, this season's All-Star game is another opportunity for him. He won the AMVP in the 2005 and 2007 seasons. Since then, this man has taken over after the Eagle County incident and gradually burst out with his own energy.
, became the leader of the 03 golden generation and never touched this trophy again.
As the number one player in the league, doesn’t LeBron have any ideas?
The gold content of amvp is indeed not high, but its honor is very strong. But LeBron has never been that idiot. On the contrary, unlike his appearance, he is very smart.
In these two seasons, the most popular player in the league has never been him, but the young man from China.
LeBron himself knows that it is difficult to look behind him. Whether on the basketball court or outside the basketball court, especially off the court, as an "investment expert", LeBron has missed big deals one after another. Although he is a successful player among players,
But compared with No. 13's brilliant record in the business war, his achievements are almost needless to mention.
Look at the partners they cooperate with, or the shareholders who form a team. They are all famous. Even the company that you founded casually is now very popular in the entire Western world.
Whatever is necessary to die, Gugou and his like will salivate and want to take it under his banner. LeBron has long given up on off-court competition, and the media companies he invested in will no longer publicize successful examples in this area, otherwise
It is easy to be led by the fans and even the audience, and extended to the Chinese people.
On the contrary, LeBron began to return to basketball itself, and he knew where his next stop was.
The condition of his teammates who can accompany him has begun to decline. The high salary has made it difficult for the team to afford a heavy bench. It is difficult for a team that lacks the foundation to make a difference in the playoffs. This is what LeBron wants.
The reason for playing another season, but he seems to have seen the results.
A "mere" Chinese, even a little giant in the past, LeBron really didn't take seriously at first, but now, this is actually the biggest threat to his status after Kobe.
It was as if everything he did had become someone else's wedding dress, which LeBron couldn't accept from the bottom of his heart.
So in this private All-Star banquet, LeBron had his own plan.
Yesterday's banquet was just as he expected. Lin Shaojie did not attend, which made many stars who attended the dinner a little confused. Although Paul George had explained that the dinner time conflicted with Lin Shaojie's private banquet time.
But why didn't Lin Shaojie invite others or attend their party? Who is he looking down on?
LeBron could see the dissatisfaction expressed by the players around her, and everything went as she expected.
When LeBron intentionally or unintentionally expressed his importance to Irving and wanted his little brother to gain something in the All-Star Game, everyone was a little surprised.
Wade, who was standing next to LeBron, expressed his full support and received calls from many people.
"Driving away wolves and devouring tigers?"
Maybe this is what LeBron had in mind. Faced with failure, LeBron felt that he would definitely not be able to compete head-on. He also had to maintain his relationship with Lin Shaojie to preserve his own strength, or in other words, to be able to get away with dignity when he failed instead of being beaten.
Other fans or players criticized it.
"I think Owen is good. His strength is enough for him to stand in the middle of the court."
Everyone knows what that means.
After Irving played today, LeBron was willing to be a green leaf. Even other players who attended the dinner had this intention. Everything was as LeBron expected.
Even the coach sitting on the sidelines is LeBron's man. It is difficult for him to imagine how Lin Shaojie can turn around in such a situation.
But what they saw in front of them made everyone look at each other. Isn't that kid really going to make a comeback in the end?
If so, it would be better to give up the honor.
"Would you rather be a bandit than a domestic slave?"
